Yeah, I don't think there are "federal weed banks". There was some program started years and years ago, as an FDA study, that resulted in like 8 people in the country recieving joints every month from the feds. As far as I know, the ones who are still alive still get 'em. There was a High Times article a few years back though that showed some of the weed: nasty ass, brown, virtually THC-devoid shit (what do you expect, it was an FDA study on the medicinal value of pot). They didn't even take seeds or stems out before they rolled the ciggs and shipped them to these people...

Guess the feds just don't have the green thumb.
