 | | We have heard a lot this morning about the view that cannabis is almost harmless, some people say it makes them yawn, it is boring, it has almost fallen off the scale, and Alun Buffry has told us about a US research paper which does almost bring it down to zero for harmful effects. |
 | | Cannabis is organic, as Alun says, you take the plant, chop it up and smoke it, so there is not much opportunity for adulterating it but anything which is put together in a laboratory is capable of being adulterated. |
 | | One, the evidence contradicts what is seen from studies on actual populations of people who smoke the plant and clinical trials which have come from laboratory experiments using concentrated THC on mice, monkeys and rats. |
