Even wiki seems to imply that cannabinoids occur "naturally inside the body". Or am I just high? The study's author wants to make it clear that this study does not reflect the effects of smoked, inhaled, or ingested substances. So why not blow smoke at the rats? Or give them some of a certain babbler's brownies?

I agree, driving stoned is not a good idea.However, I don't know many domestic assaults that marihuana played the powderkeg in igniting. Mr. Molson, Mr. Labatt, are drug pushers, as sure as the local marihuana supplier. The only thing they contribute to society, that the dealer doesn't, is the taxes their products generate.

Sometimes pot makes me function better, sometimes it makes me function worse.I remember some really really good times when high. It's habit forming, but not addictive. One intense experience: reading Thucydides's account of the final defeat of the Athenians at Syracuse in The Pelopennesian War while stoned. Very intense.
