| Heavy marijuana use can boost blood levels of a particular protein, perhaps raising a person's risk of a heart attack or stroke, U.S. government researchers said on Tuesday. Dr. Jean Lud Cadet of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health, said the findings point to another example of long-term harm from marijuana. But marijuana activists expressed doubt about the findings... The marijuana users in the study averaged smoking 78 to 350 marijuana cigarettes per week, based on self-reported drug history, the researchers said. |

| #7 thats about the rate a heavy smoker smokes tobacco... Note that tobacco somkers have similar health risks at that rate of smoking. I wouldn't be suprised if lung cancer rates for that group are similar. |

| #4 That's a hell of a lot of marijuana to smoke in one week. Even 50 joints a week (~7 per day) would put someone in a perpetual "high" state while awake. How do they even function? |
