Erm...Cannabis, Marijuana, puff, dope, ganja, gear, etc...
Cannabis itself, IMO (not necessarily proffessional), is damaging.
I know how much it afected my short term memory, so it seems to
have some kind of detremental effect. Not that that's going to
stop me getting cained off my bollocks on New Years Eve :)

I thought, though, that proving that pot is totally safe was the point
of this post.

I'd heard that there is, but I'd heard that it was something along the lines
of 16 ounces of THC in the blood at any one time. Man, if you can take that
much, let alone afford to, you deserve to die ;)
Interesting game:
There are 2 variants, depening on how much you like puff.
An ounce an hour:
Take 1 ounce of cannabis resin, a *large* pack of skins, and
a lot of tobacco. The aim is to smoke 1 ounce of dope in 1 hour. Start the
timer, and begin your rolling. You *may not* stack up the J's, you must
roll each one as you smoke them. If you win, you'll be fucking cained for
a week!!!!
If you're not a heavy smoker, try just an eighth an hour!

Yeah, man, but (s)he'd be shitfaced for a month!!!

It relaxes the muscles in the chest, making it easier to breath.
Cheers for the book review, I'll keep an eye out.
