Marijuana Research

Came across this interesting marijuana documentary some time back and decided to see what truth is in it; recently found this interesting publication from the US government called "Marijuana and Health - Report of a Study by a Committee of the INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE Division of Health Sciences Policy NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS Washington, D.C. 1982"

Many interesting points brought up in this study from 1980's including:

  • EFFECTS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND ON BEHAVIOR
  • EFFECTS ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS
  • EFFECTS ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM AND ON CHROMOSOMES
  • THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
  • THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL
  • THE NEED FOR MORE RESEARCH ON MARIJUANA
and more.

PDF download, for text version also found on google books but more organized and summarized version will be presented here soon.

For "The union: the business behind getting high" please leave a comment if you found places to purchase it (like this Amazon UK link), otherwise about the topic or any general opinions or criticism are welcome.

Another, newer, research I made can be found HERE
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
