        NEW MYTHS FROM OLD NARCS
           THE DEA WANTS TO SCARE YOU WITH SCIENCE
                 
                (By DeanLatimer, High Times June '79 no. 46)
 
 
        Should we be concerned with marihuana? I think we should. I
        think there is a myth that marihuana is like smoking a cigarette
        or like drinking alcohol. There are some similarities but very
        few, and many very important differences.
 
        Marihuana is composed of up to 50 different chemical ingredients
        including THC. Alcohol is made up of ethyl alcohol, one chemical
        ingredient. THC accumulates in the blood-supply system, and an
        individual smoking several joints of marihuana will find traces
        of THC in his or her blood as long as 30 days after use. The effect
        is cumulative and therefore much more unpredictable. An ounce of
        alcohol is dissolved inside the bloodstream within an hour. Several
        ounces are generally dissolved in a matter of hours.
 
        An individual smoking five joints of marihuana per week will have 
        a greater number of carcinogens in his lung tissue than an indivudal
        smoking a pack a day of regular cigarettes. Studies with monkeys
        using marihuana have resulted in a reduction of heaalthy births by
        as much as 40 to 50 percent.
 
        As a consequence, the National Institue on Drug Abuse and HEW have
        barred tests on pregnant humans because of this potential liability
        which has been prooven to have very real present dangers for primate
        species.

        'I do see much of the following in todays society'
                             next is the (i'd like to strongly agree)
                                         truth of the concept.
