Users in our matched-pair sample smoked marihuana in
addition to as many tobacco cigarettes as did their
matched non-using pairs. Yet their small airways
were, if anything, a bit healthier than their matches.
We must tentatively conclude either that marihuana
has no harmful effect on such passages or
that it actually offers some slight protection
against the harmful effects of tobacco smoke.

Half of the modern [pharmaceutical] drugs could well be thrown out of the window, except that the birds might eat them. 

It is a sad development

The Jamaican women we studied had been educated
in a cultural tradition of using marijuana as a medicine.
They prepared it with teas, milk and spices, and
thought of it as a preventive and curative substance
-- Dr Melanie Dreher, Dean of the University of Iowa's College of Nursing

The smoking of cannabis, even
long term, is not harmful to health
        -- The Lancet, 1995

We look at illness in this country as a weakness. I may be ill, but I'm not weak by any stretch of the imagination, but what keeps me strong enough to walk every day is my use of marijuana
-- Montel Williams, decorated US Marine, talk show host and MS sufferer

In the fifteenth century BC a Chinese book known as the Rh-Ya describes the
first ritualistic or shamanistic use of the herb known as Ma (Emboden 216-7).
This ancient history brings forth a connection to cannabis that runs further
back than even the oldest of western medical books.
When grown outdoors and under favorable conditions, the stalks of the ganja plant
can become very thick and woody. The early Chinese made a practice of carving
this stem into a rod with a serpent coiled around it.
This rod was very similar to the caduceus or Staff of Aesculapius from ancient
Greco-Roman times. This image was used in curing rituals; a relative of
the patient beat on the sickbed with the snake rod in order to dispel evil
spirits (Emboden, 217). It is interesting that the Chinese not only valued the
physical healing properties of the herb but they were also very in touch
with the spiritual aspects of this plant. Their relationship with ganja was so
powerful that they carved the serpent, one of the most sacred symbols of
convalescence, around their healing rods. Whether or not the patient was healed by
the power of the rod, by medicines or both we cannot deny the longstanding spiritual
and physical relationship that Chinese culture shares with ganja.

Estimates suggest that from 20 to 50 million Americans
routinely, albeit illegally, smoke marijuana without
the benefit of direct medical supervision.
Yet, despite this long history of use and the
extraordinarily high numbers of social smokers,
there are simply no credible reports to suggest
that consuming marijuana has caused a single death.
By contrast, aspirin, a commonly used, over-the-counter
medicine, causes hundreds of deaths each year.

In many ways, the children of
ganja-smoking mothers
were better off than the children of non-smoking mothers.
The ganja-using mothers also seemed better off than non-users.
- Dr Melanie Dreher, Dean of the University of Iowa's College of Nursing

There are some who fry and consume the seed together with other desserts. Desserts are foods consumed after dinner for pleasure and to stimulate an appetite for drinking. The seeds create a warm feeling and, consumed excessively, affect the head by sending it a warm and toxic vapor. . . .

Some folks squeeze its juice when fresh and use it as an analgesic for ear pains. -- Galen, c.160 AD

 In 1990, Keith Vines, a prosecutor in the San Francisco district attorney's office, prosecuted what was one of the biggest drug busts in the city's history. Three years later, he was near death because of AIDS wasting syndrome. The recommendation: marijuana. 'As a patient, I made the decision to save my life,' said Vines.

http://blogs.salon.com/0002762/stories/2005/02/18/irvRosenbergAndTheCompassi.htmlThe early 80's found the US administering a program allowing use of marijuana for medical patients.      A 49 page application that was approved would grant 300 joints a month from a University of Mississippi pot farm. After 9 patients were approved the program was closed.     Throughout the 60's and 70's the ignorant battle cry of the prohibitionists was the 'more research is needed'.        Positive research has never been allowed or has been ignored.  There are still 7 surviving users in this program.    No data has ever been recorded.  The supplied weed has been made of a mixture of some bud, leaf and stems.
