Marijuana study ...

all. To someone that just had casual use it's really not so clear."
He said the primary reason for administering the drug orally was that, unlike studies where the subject smokes a joint, the dosage can be controlled.
"We know that they have taken in a given amount of the drug," he said. "It goes in rapidly and its onset, its absorption into the blood, is slower than it is by smoking. It's considerably slower and therefore it gives us more time to do our maniculations."
Rawitch said that the testing of humans
The production will comprise two one-eat plays written by English playwrights. "The Twelve Pound Look" was written by James Barrie, and "All On Her Own" was written by Terence Rattigan. They will be directed by Willard Winfield, Winfield graduate student in theatre.
One-act dramas to be presented by Hashinger

In "The Twelve Pound Look," Neil Muhlberger, Tulsa junior, portrays Harry Sims, a happily married man about to be knighted.
"I think they complement each other," Marchard said yesterday. "The Twelve Words a lot of important points in it. All On Her a lot of important points in it. Show them. They complement but contraptus."
On the day of his knighthood, Harry discovers the typist he has hired to answer his congratulatory mail is his first wife, played by Laura Floyd, bartlesville Oka, sophomore. The argument that follows brings Harry off his pedestal.
The second play, "All On Her Own," is a one-woman show. Valerie Meyers, who comes home from college, who comes home slightly tipsy and in a joking mood starts quizzing her late husband about the true cause of his death. The answers come to her from an unexplicit play.
Maryann said she wanted the audience to feel as if they were coming to visit the museum.
was designed to look at the effects of marijuana on social behavior, including
"OUR PRELIMARY results suggest that there are no dramatic effects on social behaviors."
He said that he considered other evidence tenuous now, including evidence that suggested marijuana use caused chromosome breaks. But, he said, it raised a legitimate question that should be pursued.
"But my feeling is that's not a very acute
fact or important factor." he said.
The question is not whether occasional pot smoking is harmful, he said, because most evidence suggests that there are no acute or mild effects from the occasional use of marijuana.
Rawitch said it had been claimed by two or three laboratories that smoking a marijuana cigarette lowered the testosterone, male sex hormone, level. Also, smoking marijuana that chronic marijuana users had lower than the average testosterone level.
"I THINK ITS too early to really say anything dramatically one way or the other," he said. "But once again, all that says to me is well, look there, there's still unanswered questions here, and we want to have all the data we can weaken, individually based on what as a society is making any sort of definitive judgement one way or the other on this."
He said that one piece of data in medical literature indicated that there have been cases in which heavy marijuana smokers died from complications of cochomatis, an enlargement of the breasts.
"Obviously," he said, "this could be related to sex hormone levels and throwing off the balance of androgen and estrogen. That data is very preliminary, but it is consistent with this testosterone lowering effect."
IN MANY CASES involving chronic
juranic users, he said, a problem arises
with the use of email.
"So it's a difficult thing to say," he said.
"That's why I say this is a very preliminary
"I think it's fairly clear that the androgen, or male hormone, lowering effect is reproducible. It's been confirmed in, I guess, three labs now in one way or another."
"So, that's something which certainly happens when a person with the (THC) has female hormone-like activity is one of the things that we are going to be doing in the next couple of months here in New York."
He said that his duty as a scientist was to continue with the experiments until he was done. He wrote: "The research yielded the publication of two papers and work is being done on a third."
The data on the pharmacological eff-
cumbriums as well as its detrimental ef-
ficulties have been summarized in the
following.
"I guess the thing that I feel strongly about, 'he said 'it is that its probably a marijuana thing' and I said 'I will absolutely 'Marijuana is good or marijuana is bad' without the appropriate reservations because I think it is going to take a total of 15 years before we have sufficient data, years yet before we have sufficient data.
"And in the meantime we have something else going for us," he said, "and that's that we have a massive human experience going on.
"The style of the show eludes categorization, but is closest to easy listening." "Meagher said. 'It's not patriotic in a flag-waving sense.'"
"And we will see as another 10 years pass whether there are some subtle effects. We will see enough offspring of women that have smoked marijuana while they were pregnant, and if there's something that correlates there, well, we'll have that hindsight.

The group's performance includes uptempo country music, romantic ballads, a tongue-in-cheek love song and a song about immigrants. Meaher said.
TOMORROW NIGHTS show also will include the Lawrence Civie Chair, directed by Andrew M. Bender and the return of Freedom, and the return of "The Grinch Connection," the Rock Chalk Revue winning skill by the Alpha Kappa Lambda Society and Alpha Gamma Delta security.
"So, whether we want to do it or not, the 'human experiment is going on.'"
"It catches the idea that people are the
seen on the wagon train, flirr," he said.
Dan McGechay, a cast member, said the name of the show was summed up by him. "It's a little bit funny," he said.
The wagon train camp will be open to the public all day Sunday and the wagon train party will be hosted at a barbeque at the William Bradley home south of Lawrence.
THE SHOW IS an original musical review of 12 songs produced by members of the theater and music departments at Pennsylvania State University.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
"PLEASE PAGE PHINEAS"
Doubtless all know the meaning of "page" in this instance is to find, locate and call for the whereabouts of an unknown navy.
Phinneas was a man who picked up a javelin and thrust it through the belly of a woman and men — killing them both — bodily and brazen put on the sex act of adultery regardless of its publicity— even before the rulers and highest authority of the nation!
NOTE GOD ALMIGHTY'S REACTION TO the nation's open and defensive Second Commandment: "THOU SHALT NOT COMMONPREY IN TERRY" AND great numbers were dying. After 24,000 were dead suddenly the plague stopped; it was immediately after Phineas had javelin in his hand.
Hear what God said about his act, and of him: "AND THE LORD SPKE UNT OMES SAYING, PHINEAS the NIS OF ELAERAZ, THESON OF AARON THE PRIEST HAT TURNED AWAY MY WRATH FROM THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHILE HE WAS ZEALOUS FOR MY SAKE AMONG THEM THAT I CONSUMED THEM AND THE SHEPHERDS WHO WERE BLESS WITH ME HYM MOVEI MY COVENANT OF PEACE; AND HE SHALL HEAVE IT, AND His SEED AFTER HIM, EVEN THE COVENANT OF AN EVERLASTING PIRIESTHOOD, BECAUSE HE WAS ZEALOUS FOR HIS GOD, AND
MADE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" —
Numbers 25: 10-13.
The terrible tits of adultery, whoredom, fornication, homosexuality, etc. strike at the very source of life. The Life from which proceed society, the state, the nation, governments. And The Church These great and horrible sins and enemies of mankind have brought down, destroyed and caused to perish many a great man, many a great nation, and great empires The Bible in the Book of Life God Almighty "PERISH! Consider God's message to mankind at the hands of PHINES: "GOD WAS WITH HIM"
The writer is deliberately making this article short, relatively speaking, with the hope and prayer that all who claim to be Christian will give much serious consideration to "what is written." Have you done anything about "PAGING PHINESA" since this request was publicized to you Has it caused you to give any serious thought? Have you ever felt the same welfare as well as that of your family, loved ones, the Church of God our eternal wife — note and consider that portion of the Sermon Book The Mount record in Matthew E2:7-30.
