"It's quite simple, really," Nanofsky explains, "I wanted to combine
 Citrus sinesis with Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol." In layman's terms,
 the respected college professor proposed to grow oranges that would
 contain THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Fourteen years later,
 that project is complete, and Nanofsky has succeeded where his letter
 writing campaign of yore failed: he has the undivided attention of the
 nation's top drug enforcement agencies, political figures, and media
 outlets.

Much to the chagrin of authorities, the effort to regulate Nanofsky's
 invention may be too little too late. Several hundred packets
 containing 40 to 50 seeds each have already been sent to those who've
 requested them, and Nanofsky is not obliged to produce his mailing
 records. Under current law, no crime has been committed and it is
 unlikely that charges will be brought against the fruit's inventor.
