Looks fairly inconclusive to me...
In excess yes (well sort of). However in moderation a good beer or glass of wine is good for the body.better at killing your liver . . .
So smoking 1 joint a day isn't as bad as smoking 20 cigarettes a day? Stunning study. Shocking results. Who woulda thunk?
I wonder if taxpayer funds are responsible for this trash research? And it is in JAMA?
Sad.
The same can be said for MJ. In moderation both are good for relieving stress. Neither is benign if used chronically. Though MJ is definately less toxic and less addictive it also has it's adverse affects if abused.In excess yes (well sort of). However in moderation a good beer or glass of wine is good for the body.

What with the altitude there and Amendment 64, Damo should be challenging the Kenyans soon. But he will have to worry about the ADAPA! Michael Phelps!
It does indicate a very small improvement in lung capacity at lower rates of usage. They have also found that regular mj smokers are half as likely to be obese. You can get a study to say lots of things. What is conclusive from all of them is that mj is rather benign. Anybody that claims otherwise is drinking the wrong kind of koolade.
I've never argued otherwise, but I find it funny that many of the same people who tout marijuana as a medical cure all also ignore that alcohol has been used medicinally for a few thousand years.The same can be said for MJ.

Who really ignores that? There are are some medical benefits to both. That's not a lie.
A lot of the battle is to convince these knee jerk/xenophobic/racist old pricks that MJ is not signifciantly different than their drug of choice or drugs they tolerate and find socially acceptable. So, alcohol is used to show the duplicity of their position.
