10 Pot Studies The US Government
Wished It Hadn't Funded
Return
Back To Main Medical Reports Page
10) MARIJUANA USE HAS NO EFFECT ON MORTALITY: A massive
study of California HMO members funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
found marijuana use caused no significant increase in mortality. Tobacco use was
associated with increased risk of death. Sidney, S et al. Marijuana Use and
Mortality. American Journal of Public Health. Vol. 87 No. 4, April 1997. p.
585-590. Sept. 2002.
9) HEAVY MARIJUANA USE AS A YOUNG ADULT WON’T RUIN YOUR LIFE: Veterans Affairs
scientists looked at whether heavy marijuana use as a young adult caused
long-term problems later, studying identical twins in which one twin had been a
heavy marijuana user for a year or longer but had stopped at least one month
before the study, while the second twin had used marijuana no more than five
times ever. Marijuana use had no significant impact on physical or mental health
care utilization, health-related quality of life, or current socio-demographic
characteristics. Eisen SE et al. Does Marijuana Use Have Residual Adverse
Effects on Self-Reported Health Measures, Socio-Demographics or Quality of Life?
A Monozygotic Co-Twin Control Study in Men. Addiction. Vol. 97 No. 9.
p.1083-1086. Sept. 1997
8) THE "GATEWAY EFFECT" MAY BE A MIRAGE: Marijuana is often called a
"gateway drug" by supporters of prohibition, who point to statistical
"associations" indicating that persons who use marijuana are more
likely to eventually try hard drugs than those who never use marijuana —
implying that marijuana use somehow causes hard drug use. But a model developed
by RAND Corp. researcher Andrew Morral demonstrates that these associations can
be explained "without requiring a gateway effect." More likely, this
federally funded study suggests, some people simply have an underlying
propensity to try drugs, and start with what’s most readily available. Morral
AR, McCaffrey D and Paddock S. Reassessing the Marijuana Gateway Effect.
Addiction. December 2002. p. 1493-1504.
7) PROHIBITION DOESN’T WORK (PART I): The White House had the National
Research Council examine the data being gathered about drug use and the effects
of U.S. drug policies. NRC concluded, "the nation possesses little
information about the effectiveness of current drug policy, especially of drug
law enforcement." And what data exist show "little apparent
relationship between severity of sanctions prescribed for drug use and
prevalence or frequency of use." In other words, there is no proof that
prohibition — the cornerstone of U.S. drug policy for a century — reduces
drug use. National Research Council. Informing America’s Policy on Illegal
Drugs: What We Don’t Know Keeps Hurting Us. National Academy Press, 2001. p.
193.
6) PROHIBITION DOESN’T WORK (PART II: DOES PROHIBITION CAUSE THE "GATEWAY
EFFECT"?): U.S. and Dutch researchers, supported in part by NIDA, compared
marijuana users in San Francisco, where non-medical use remains illegal, to
Amsterdam, where adults may possess and purchase small amounts of marijuana from
regulated businesses. Looking at such parameters as frequency and quantity of
use and age at onset of use, they found no differences except one: Lifetime use
of hard drugs was significantly lower in Amsterdam, with its
"tolerant" marijuana policies. For example, lifetime crack cocaine use
was 4.5 times higher in San Francisco than Amsterdam. Reinarman, C, Cohen, PDA,
and Kaal, HL. The Limited Relevance of Drug Policy: Cannabis in Amsterdam and
San Francisco. American Journal of Public Health. Vol. 94, No. 5. May 2004. p.
836-842.
5) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART I): Federal researchers implanted
several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung cancers, in mice, then
treated them with cannabinoids (unique, active components found in marijuana).
THC and other cannabinoids shrank tumors and increased the mice’s lifespans.
Munson, AE et al. Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids. Journal of the
National Cancer Institute. Sept. 1975. p. 597-602.
4) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER, (PART II): In a 1994 study the government
tried to suppress, federal researchers gave mice and rats massive doses of THC,
looking for cancers or other signs of toxicity. The rodents given THC lived
longer and had fewer cancers, "in a dose-dependent manner" (i.e. the
more THC they got, the fewer tumors). NTP Technical Report On The Toxicology And
Carcinogenesis Studies Of 1-Trans- Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, CAS No.
1972-08-3, In F344/N Rats And B6C3F(1) Mice, Gavage Studies. See also,
"Medical Marijuana: Unpublished Federal Study Found THC-Treated Rats Lived
Longer, Had Less Cancer," AIDS Treatment News no. 263, Jan. 17, 1997.
3) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART III): Researchers at the
Kaiser-Permanente HMO, funded by NIDA, followed 65,000 patients for nearly a
decade, comparing cancer rates among non-smokers, tobacco smokers, and marijuana
smokers. Tobacco smokers had massively higher rates of lung cancer and other
cancers. Marijuana smokers who didn’t also use tobacco had no increase in risk
of tobacco-related cancers or of cancer risk overall. In fact their rates of
lung and most other cancers were slightly lower than non-smokers, though the
difference did not reach statistical significance. Sidney, S. et al. Marijuana
Use and Cancer Incidence (California, United States). Cancer Causes and Control.
Vol. 8. Sept. 1997, p. 722-728.
2) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART IV): Donald Tashkin, a UCLA
researcher whose work is funded by NIDA, did a case-control study comparing
1,200 patients with lung, head and neck cancers to a matched group with no
cancer. Even the heaviest marijuana smokers had no increased risk of cancer, and
had somewhat lower cancer risk than non-smokers (tobacco smokers had a 20-fold
increased lung cancer risk). Tashkin D. Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer: Results
of a Case-Control Study. American Thoracic Society International Conference. May
23, 2006.
1) MARIJUANA DOES HAVE MEDICAL VALUE: In response to passage of California’s
medical marijuana law, the White House had the Institute of Medicine (IOM)
review the data on marijuana’s medical benefits and risks. The IOM concluded,
"Nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety are all afflictions of wasting,
and all can be mitigated by marijuana." While noting potential risks of
smoking, the report added, "we acknowledge that there is no clear
alternative for people suffering from chronic conditions that might be relieved
by smoking marijuana, such as pain or AIDS wasting." The government’s
refusal to acknowledge this finding caused co-author John A. Benson to tell the
New York Times that the government "loves to ignore our report … they
would rather it never happened." Joy, JE, Watson, SJ, and Benson, JA.
Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base. National Academy Press.
1999. p. 159. See also, Harris, G. FDA Dismisses Medical Benefit From Marijuana.
