Malarky!!! Knowing that the test subjects had no intentions of actually quitting may have something to do with your flawed research. I was a heavy tobacco user from age 18 to 30 and a heavy pt smoker from 20 to 44 and a heavy pot smoker although I started smoking pot at age 15.I gave up tobacco at age 30 and five years later, after five years of craving that never went away, weight gain and other symptoms I started again and have not been able to quit for more than 2 or 3 days at a time.With weed I stopped cold turkey due to invasion of privacy testing at work and have had no problems and that is with my wife still smoking in front of me. This is just another attempt of the US government to keep pot and those who smoke in a bad light and to keep the 50 year old myths about marijuana in the uninformed publics eye. Shame on you, why don't you so- called researchers spend some time and money on curing some ailments instead of running down an herb that has never been attributed to any deaths in the history of this country. Tobacco killed 435,000 people in 2006 alone but I guess that since part of this study was done in Winston-Salem (home of R.J. Reynolds) it's OK for tobacco to kill and still be legal.. How much money did RJR put in to this study I wonder?
