Study: Little damage from marijuana
May 8, 2006 - upi.com

NEW YORK, May 8 (UPI) -- In a preliminary study, U.S. researchers failed to find damage to the developing adolescent brain had occurred in those who had used marijuana moderately.

Lynn DeLisi and colleagues from the Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research and New York University School of Medicine used diffusion tensor imaging to scan the brain of 10 young people who had smoked cannabis during adolescence.

The participants were between 17 and 30 years old, and they said they had smoked at least two to three times a week for one or more years during adolescence and had no personal or family history of mental-health problems.

The study subjects were matched for sex, age and social class of parents with 10 controls who had not smoked marijuana regularly as teenagers.

DeLisi and colleagues found no significant differences in brain integrity and brain volume between cannabis smokers and non-smokers, but the study authors warn more research is necessary, both in a larger group of people and to see the effects of heavier use.

The findings are published in Harm Reduction Journal.

With a population of only twenty people, any conclusions made from this study must not be taken too strongly.

its always more. they know its not harmfull, but thell keep on studying and trying to make a case. if its not harmfull at moderate use, then they should legalize it for moderate use. just like amsterdam. your only allowed to carry a certain amount on the street and in puplic. but in your own home it doesnt matter how much. thats how it should be.

Man takes advantage of who he is,nature is his home, where he evolved from. So why does he turn it down, defy, and mutalate his birth ground? why does he spread disease, murder his native animals,rape and torture his land, and still feel descent of who he is? live a life that is not true? excepts an artificial home?

i say more participants. and maybe they should try to distinguish marijuana users who only smoke pot from those that do other drugs as well as smoke. its nice to see a study with results that arent all government psuedo-scientific bullshit.

Yes, I just wish they had tested more than 20 people, 10 of them being controls.

That just might actually be a good idea! Where do they find these researchers?

im guessing the fda will pick the test subjects of anymore research like this or there own to discredit it. or maybe they will throw out another report to cnn saying how bad it is without proof. either way they win, all the rich people see what the fda writes and write it down in there bibles
