With funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Marijuana Project at The University of Mississippi cultivates and supplies research-grade cannabis material for scientific and medical research. The research using marijuana grown on plots at the university has led to the development of a rectal suppository that would allow AIDS and cancer patients to absorb THC, a chemical in marijuana, even faster than by using a pill or cigarette.
