A study by New Zealand's Medical Research Institute identified the dose equivalence between cannabis and cigarette smoking and found that longtime pot smokers can develop symptoms of asthma and bronchitis along with obstruction of the large airways and excessive lung inflation, according to the paper released Tuesday ahead of print in the journal Thorax. “The study shows that one cannabis joint causes a similar degree of lung damage as between 2. 5 and five tobacco cigarettes,” said lead author Sarah Aldington. However, the study found that the progressive chronic lung disease emphysema, often associated with cigarette smoking, was uncommon among cannabis smokers. 3 percent of the long-term pot smokers were found to have signs of the disease compared to 16.

Acting on information from a tipster, 25 undercover detectives from the Pasco and Pinellas county drug units seized 152 marijuana plants Monday from two homes in Golden Acres. They also found 25 pounds of marijuana stalks at a third house in Hudson. The plants, authorities said, were about 5 to 6 feet tall. Three people were arrested Monday in connection with the bust. Authorities are investigating possible connections between them: Eduardo Vera Aleman, 40, of 9954 Lakeview Drive, where investigators found 117 marijuana plants, was charged with cultivation of marijuana. He is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail at the Land O'Lakes jail.

Adolescent and adult rats were locked in one room and injected12 times over two weeks with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, thedrug’s active ingredient.

Is chief exec Justin King preparing to make a cannabis statement, I begin my speculative call to the Sainsbury’s press office?”Er, I very much doubt it,” sniffs a spokesman, before sighing: “Do you really want me to ask?”advertisement. He turns out to be equally relaxed about this subject and blocks: “We’ll call you. Time to give Branson’s rival at British Airways a chance and I ask if Willie Walsh is penning a similar confession? That request merely produces hysterical laughter.
