[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 214164, member: 5993"] I read this, but the study was done on a self reporting basis which is always fraught with difficulties and valid criticisms. There was no attempt to look at blood levels, even positive urine tests, definition of recent or frequency of use, or any attempt to correlate their finding with things the pundits all seemed to be worried about! Work accidents, good or bad employee, MJ use at work during breaks, inhaled or ingested or MJ cream application, etc. Or even compared to workers efficiency deemed to have still elevated blood alcohol levels from last nights beerfest or just hung over. Such a “study” though somewhat interesting and makes for good press, is fairly meaningless by itself, but opens up a lot of fertile territory for future research. It is interesting they found that “recreational” use seems to go down with age, though from living in a snowbird retirement community every winter for some years, I’d bet the medicinal usage would tend to rise with age, though I get the impression true valid medicinal use is rising in all ages. Its hard to separate the wide overlap of recreational from true medicinal usage. Their numbers do make interesting reading, but prove nothing pro or con from a medical or social standpoint. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] The last two paragraphs are quotes from people expressing “concerns” about MJ usage, BUT, all the stuff they say, though correct, is 100% applicable to almost every cold medicine, herb, prescription medicine, alcohol, etc. (Check the labels on everything in your own medicine cabinets if you dont believe it). The only important question, as I see it, is simply: Is MJ as bad or worse than any or all of our already known and widely used drugs?
