Pot abuse troublesome, study says
Smoking marijuana will not make people psychotic, but excessive users tend to have more problems than users, who are a UK researcher said recently.
By LINDA ROSEWICZ Staff Reporter
The researcher, Ronald Weller, assistant professor of psychiatry, found that nine percent of the chronic marjiana smokers he tested during a study were also involved in attacks and been issued traffic tickets while under the influence of marjiana.
Weller helped conduct two separate studies, five years apart, on the same group of people. He defined marijuana as a substance whose smoking caused them problems.
IN THE PILOT study in 1970, Weller interviewed approximately a group of regular marijuana users. Five years later, he observed them again.
The study involved 30 women and 61
By 1975, when the group was interviewed again, approximately 10 men were used to attack him. He then used marjuma. Mr. Hard had controlled it as much as they had in 1970, however.
men between 18 and 31 years old who lived in a white middle-class area of St. Louis. The group averaged two years of marijuana use and at least 65 of the marijuana smoked marijuana at least once a week in the year before the interview.
Another interview of the same group of long-term users in early 1980 showed that smoking pot without serious problems. Nine percent had many problems.
According to Weller, 44 percent of the "abusers" used marjumira at least five times a week, and 78 percent of them used it in the morning on several occasions.
One-third of the abusers said they got
married because they had smoked marijuana.
Although many have purported
martjiana to be a calming, aggression- reducing drug, one-third of the abusers had been involved in fights while using martjiana," Weller said.
THE MARILJANA abuser also was found to suffer memory loss similar to the anmnesia that occurs during liquor intoxication. Weller said 10 percent of the study group had experienced at least one memory blackout.
"Many people felt that using marijuana was so benign that it couldn't possibly do anything bad to you," said Weller. "A lot of people felt they had no memory." You would increase your memory, that you'd have increased insight and all this type of thing.
"I think what this indicates is that anything in use in excess can get you into trouble. Now this is something we need to marijuana. It's not totally benign."

Weller said he was not finished with his studies. He said he wanted to study the same group in another five years to find out whether members continued to use marijuana and whether any had turned to alcohol on a steady basis.
