I have to wonder what treatment the "researcher" had before he came up with this lame experiment. Or when he drew conclusions.
I'm willing to be open-minded, but I don't see much cause-effect here.
Based on this "experiment", for which my high school biology teacher would likely have assigned a failing grade, I don't plan to start smoking it any time soon.
Um, I don't see anywhere in the article that they claim they are testing for the 'longterm' effects of cannibis. They do say that the 10 days of mega-doses of mega-THC produces more brain cells rather than less. So what's yer beef?
You've assumed that cannibis is bad and argue (irrationally) that any study that disagrees with you and "hundreds" of "REAL" studies is "irresponsible." In logic, this is called the fallacy of question begging.
No need to get your undies all in a bunch here. Any cannibis you don't want you can send to me.

Canadian university studies. I rest my case.
BTW, where's the dumpster for the lab?
He is a proof that his brains outgrew his head and theretofore his scientwific concaclusion!
"Real studys have proven that squirrels forced to smoke 20 joints a day...tend to play with their nuts, rather than store them."
Excellent.
What about the bong water?
Dave's not here man.
"Dave's not here man."
They don't make 'em like they used to...LP's, that is.
"Yeah, like those coke snorters GWB and Slickmeister."
I know Roger Clinton outed Bubba as a coke head. Actually, relatively speaking, that is one of his more benign vices (at least as compared to treason, rape and raising my taxes). What is your source for accusing W of doing lines - other than liberal rumor mongers?
From the Dallas Morning News, back in '02:
IQ BOOSTS SEEN IN SOME LIGHT MARIJUANA USERS
Young adults who smoke small amounts of marijuana - between one and five joints per week - may temporarily raise their IQs, says a study published recently in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. However, those in the study who smoked more than five joints weekly, considered to be heavy users, saw their average IQ drop by 4.1 points. The light users had an average IQ increase of 5.8 points.
Yes, it grows like crazy, it`s a weed, yet it is totally banned for any use here in the US (unless I am mistaken?) The only reason I can see is that the DEA would be going nuts if hemp fields started popping up all over the place, I mean how would they seperate the industrial growers from the pot heads? Then you would get the pot smokers raiding those industrial fields like wolves on sheep. "Yo dude, a weed field! Chaaa excellent!"
I read somewhere the seeds of the hemp plant produce oil equal to that of whale oil which means it is an extremely good type of oil. It will not congeal in cold weather and lubricates machinery better than other oils such as vegetable etc (plus it burns very good). Damn, if this was legalized and produced on a mass scale it would really screw up Sheik Mohammed big time.
We have to do something though, oil prices are only going to go higher and higher and it is only a matter of time before we start hitting $7 bucks a gallon for gas. It already hit $6 in North Carolina during that last gas price surge, and if they can get away with that, $7 is next, it`ll just keep getting worse.
To me, I would look more into atomics, but liberals go into seizures even at the very mention of it. It`s pathetic that subject is all but off limits whn it comes to discussions of energy.
A car running on atomic energy and steam would literally only need water as a "fuel", but of course my mother in law would be the first to crash that atomic car and cause the worlds first vehicular meltdown "Waaah! I thought the right pedal was the brake! Waah! When I pressed it right to the ground it didn`t stop! It only went faster and faster!! Waaah!"
If there was some way to contain it anytime there was a crash they maybe it could be used, but on the other hand I`m no expert on atomics. I don`t even know if a nuclear reaction can be made that small solely to drive a car. I know they do it for subs, but that is another story. Plus I can imagine the idiots who would take apart the reactor to try to make a bomb or something.
Here we already have numerous examples of folks who consume vast quantities of MJ ~ it does seem to have it's brain enhancing limits eh?!
And from the sound of it, Cheech and Chong are not likely to do a reunion...
I agree. Want a beer?
Because it would make the DEA's job so much more difficult.
