Wasn't medicinal marijuana grown at the University of Kentucky during the 1970's?

Anyone else recall that? I can't find a link for it but I can remember reading articles about it in Rolling Stone back then.

Anyone else remember that?

5. taterguy was right. That is why I couldn't find a link before. Here is one

In the irony of ironies, the University of Mississippi has been growing marijuana for the federal government's little-known medical marijuana program, the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, for decades. Each month, the federal authorities send four patients a tin canister filled with about 300 pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes. If the federal government can grow medical marijuana for out-of-state patients in Mississippi, why can't Mississippi's seriously ill patients access the medicine they need?

Or at least they did in the '80s.
