U.S. Government has been lying to the people for decades?!
Question: Brain Damage and Dead Monkeys
The report from Dr. Heath had concluded that Rhesus monkeys, smoking the equivalent of only 30 joints a day,
began to atrophy and die after 90 days.
The Research methodology involved strapping Rhesus monkeys into a chair and pumping them with equivalent of 63
Colombian strength joints in "five minutes, through gas masks," losing no smoke. Playboy discovered that
Heath had administered 63 joints in five minutes over just three months instead of administering 30 joints
per day over a one-year period as he had first reported. Heath did this, it turned out, in order to avoid
having to pay an assistant's wages every day for a full year.
The monkeys were suffocating! Three to five minutes of oxygen deprivation causes brain damage "dead brain cells."
(Red Cross Lifesaving and Water Safety Manual) With the concentration of smoke used, the monkeys were a bit like
a person running the engine of a car in a locked garage for 5, 10, 15 minutes at a tim

like the previous answer, i have not once heard about this, could very well be a rumour, i dont think the government would give patients medicinal marijuana if it kills you, they only way weed can affect is in the long run after years of chronic smoking
I have never heard anyone cite that study. I don't think that is what the government stands behind.
Soooooooooo What is your question? Are you trying to convince yourself that marijuna is harmless? I agree that the government has and does many very expensive tests that are not necessary,and with that money they could help many poor people in the USA! However,studies have shown that smoking one cigarette is equal to the harm caused from smoking of 15 joints. The body has filters to attack forgein objects etc., however the brain does not have a filter! So, the poor brain is on it's own to filter out smoke that is laced with who knows what! Chemicals, baking soda, rat poison to make the quantity of the sales bigger; oh yes, then there are the chemicals that induce greater addiction so the smoker smokes more and more and more! Colds, Flu, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Herpes, T.B. , Hepatits, all things that can be passed through SALIVA just to name a very few diseases caught from sharing a joint, pipe etc. (Takes only ONE INHALE TO CATCH!) Then we FINALLY GET TO THE LONG TERM USERS problems such as carotid arterys, ........all the other diseases of the heart, artery's, veins, lungs, all other organs of the body that deteriorate from it's over use! Then, not to speak of the sexually transmitted diseases spread due to one's mind being altered, therefore making inappropriate intimate decisions, much like those who over indulge in alcohol. (Come to think of it, that can be from a one time use as well! But I won't state all of the STD's here.) Oh Yes, and the good old phrase that still stands oh so true today, just as many years ago! ......."PARANOIA WILL DESTROY YA!".....AND LET'S NOT EVEN GET STARTED ABOUT THE IRRITATING MEMORY PROBLEMS THE mj USERS HAVE AND DON'T EVEN REALIZE, CAUSE THEY FORGOT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO REMEMBER ANYTHING!!........................
Sorry, if I have misinterpreted your question!Let's just not make excuses for something that destroys men, women,children,relationships, and far to many marriages, etc.
