Just an interesting comparison of the two types of cigarettes. I don't know
|
||
|
|
the exact amounts that were tested but they look remarkably similar.
|
||
|
|
The information here came from an chapter in _A Primer of Drug Action_.
|
||
|
|
Another very informative book about MJ is _Drugs and Behavior an Introduction
|
||
|
|
to Behavioral Pharmacology_. Both of these books provide an interesting
|
||
|
|
discussion of the history and effects of MJ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyone else out there with info let me know.
