Marijuana's effects are permanent, Voth said, because it accumulated in the blood and took days to wear off—longer than other drugs, such as alcohol.
DURING THE EXTRA time that man is in the blood, it affects every cell of the body, he said.
In driving tests, Voth said, researchers have found that one joint reduced reaction time by 30 percent, and two joints reduced reaction time by 60 percent.
"It was once thought that smoking and drinking was safer than drinking and driving," he said.
"A person who is smoking and runs into a
Although drunken driving is as dangerous as driving while high, Voth said that researchers have found that people who drink a reasonable amount each day—one or two ounces—live longer than teetotalers, maybe because the drinks were relaxing.
family head on in his car is directly responsible for their deaths."
Marijuana smokers also say that their drug is relaxing, but Voth said that it permanently slowed nerve impulses in the brain and atrophied brain cells.
Brain damage caused by marijuana has demonstrated in animals and humans, bea-
But he said that the idea that marijuanam damaged human chromosomes—the parts of
cells that contain information passed on to offspring - is still being debated.
MARJIUANA DOES concentrate its effects on human reproductive organs. Voth said.
It causes animals to miscarry, he said. In both humans and animals, it makes the female menstrual cycle irregular, decreases the sperm count in males, results in an increased rate of abnormal sperm and decreases sex hormones in males and females, he said.
Marijuana also seems to be mildly addictive, Voth said. People go through withdrawal from it slowly because it builds up in the blood and takes so long to wear off.
Other drugs, such as heroin, are more addictive than marijuana, he said.
PRO-MARJILUANA use lobbies also have
problematic studies to back their
placid, Vobb said.
One study they have used to convince people that marriagem is harmless is the study of how people feel.
"It was never accepted for publication in any scientific journal," Voth said. "They had to publish it in something called the 'Hauge Press.'"
Scientific journal has refused to accept the study because it was so poorly done, Voth said.
One person who used to believe that marijana was harmless was the researcher who discovered that marijana permanently changes brain wave patterns, he said.

He earned a master's degree from City College of New York in 1968. While on leave from KU that year, he directed the Inter-University Chinese Language Institute in Taipei, Taiwan.
HE FFINSBHED his doctorate in 1971 at Columbia University in New York where he studied economics.
In May 1976, he led a delegation of scientists and mathematicians to China for a month-long tour of Chinese universities and institutions. The trip was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences sponsored the trio.
Leban's son, Bruce, said his father liked activities that involved people.
"He basically enjoyed the thrill of learning," he said. "He liked helping people."
