SAN FRANCISCO, May 17 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have created a
cannabis-vaporizing device to produce the same biological effect as
does smoking marijuana but without harmful toxins.
The University of California-San Francisco research focused on
delivery of the active ingredient delta-9-tertrahydrocannibinol, or
THC.
The study's lead author, Dr. Donald Abrams, noted smoked cannabis
alleviates the chronic pain caused by HIV-related neuropathy but
concerns had been expressed that smoking marijuana was not safe.
"This study demonstrates an alternative method that gives patients the
same effects and allows controlled dosing, but without inhalation of
the toxic products in smoke," said Abrams, a University of
California-San Francisco professor of clinical medicine.
Patients rated the "high" they experienced from both smoking and
vaporization and there was no difference between the two methods by
patient self-reporting. In addition, patients were asked which method
they preferred.
"By a significant majority, patients preferred vaporization to
smoking, choosing the route of delivery with the fewest side effects
and greatest efficiency," said study co-author Dr. Neal Benowitz, who
noted pills tend to provide patients with more THC than they need and
increase side effects.
The research appears in the online edition of the journal Clinical
Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

Sounds like an electric bong.
But hey, if the drug companies can license the thing, then they can go
nationwide with the drug, and anyone by doctors orders will be able to
light up.

Usually the Captain embraces republican ideas being that the only
other viable option is worse. Republicans have been known to reduce
the Captain's taxes. The Democrats have never done this.
Why would Republicans hate hippies?

vaporization and there was no difference between the two methods by
patient self-reporting. In addition, patients were asked which method
they preferred.
Hmm..."high" WTF was that in additition to or in lieu of pain relief?
Sounds like a bunch of stoners getting shitfaced to me.
I wouldn't be surprised.
"By a significant majority, patients preferred vaporization to
smoking, choosing the route of delivery with the fewest side effects
and greatest efficiency," said study co-author Dr. Neal Benowitz, who
noted pills tend to provide patients with more THC than they need and
increase side effects.
The research appears in the online edition of the journal Clinical
Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

Observe: Cannabis causes lapses of rational thought in people who don't use
it.
Hence, they might even claim people should die of complications of cancer
rather than get high. They might even claim people should remain permanently
addicted to opiates, rather than temporarily use cannabis to prevent their
withdrawl symptoms.
All that suffering, just to avoid getting high!

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have created a
cannabis-vaporizing device to produce the same biological effect as
does smoking marijuana but without harmful toxins.
The University of California-San Francisco research focused on
delivery of the active ingredient delta-9-tertrahydrocannibinol, or
THC.
The study's lead author, Dr. Donald Abrams, noted smoked cannabis
alleviates the chronic pain caused by HIV-related neuropathy but
concerns had been expressed that smoking marijuana was not safe.
"This study demonstrates an alternative method that gives patients the
same effects and allows controlled dosing, but without inhalation of
the toxic products in smoke," said Abrams, a University of
California-San Francisco professor of clinical medicine.
Patients rated the "high" they experienced from both smoking and
vaporization and there was no difference between the two methods by
patient self-reporting. In addition, patients were asked which method
they preferred.

(disclaimer: I am not endorsing drug abuse of any kind)
I'd rather they got stoned and out of it, then violent and agressive
like alcohol does. That blows any
theory that the drug war is to stop using substances that cause bad
behavor, infact, if the federal gov't didn't
screw around in this area where they didn't belong to begin with to
begin with, we probaly wouldn't be
seeing the harder drugs like crack and meth.
