J. DOE was thinking about Open minds and keyed into cyberspace:
JD>                 NIH Report Supports Marijuana's Medical Potential,
JD>                          Recommends Future Trials
JD>          August 14, 1997, Washington, DC:  Marijuana has therapeutic
JD>potential in the treatment of many serious illnesses including AIDS
JD>wasting syndrome, spasticity disorders, and glaucoma, and future
JD>scientific trials should be funded by the federal government, said a
JD>report released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on August
JD>8.           NIH experts agreed that marijuana "looks promising
JD>enough to recommend that there be new controlled studies done."
JD>Panelists insisted that future trials should not hold marijuana to
JD>higher scientific standards than those applied to other medications
JD>or required by law.  The report also noted that there are patients
JD>"for whom the inhalation route might offer advantages over the
JD>currently available capsule formulation." 
FLASH MEMO TO JANE:
These guys at NIH usually know what they are talking about.
