“Weeds“ would like to wish you a Happy 4/20 with some news.

The Showtime series will light up its sixth season on Monday, Aug. 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Following the “Weeds” premiere, stay tuned for the series premiere of “The Big C,” starring Laura Linney.

The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/tumor research, according to Jack Herer, who reports on the events in his book, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes“. In 1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies, who set out — unsuccessfully — to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver all the medical benefits without the “high.”

In 1983 the Reagan/Bush Administration tried to persuade American universities and researchers to destroy all 1966-76 cannabis research work, including compendiums in libraries, reports Jack Herer, who states, “We know that large amounts of information have since disappeared.”
