Pubdate: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 Source: The Media Awareness Project of DrugSense Website: http://www.mapinc.org/ Note: Below is a look back with links to the most popular articles -- in terms of the number of folks who accessed the articles at MAP's website last year. For this look back only items with one of the words 'marijuana, cannabis, hemp or pot' in the headline that were location coded within the United States were considered. A similar list outside of the U.S. will be posted soon, plus one or more on other topics. Please note that there is nothing scientific about the selection -- most popular sometimes just reflects a well written headline. We do this for your enjoyment!
