marihuana puzzle j
In this day of increasing inter-'
est in drugs and drug abuse, one
of the most common marihuana
- remains a mystery.
Medical science does not know,
nearly enough about marihuana.
We don’t know how marihuana
changes ability 'o think, concen
trate, and perceive tilings. We
don’t know how personality fac-.
tors, expectations, and past ex
periences influence a person’s re
actions to the drug.
Natural marihuana varies tre
mendously fn strength and com
position. Uniformity in scientific
studies, so that results can be
compared and checked, has been
almost impossible.
Not long ago the active ingred
ient of marihuana, tetrahydro-
jCannabinol, w.cs product‘d for ‘he
I first 'time in history in pure form.-
I
This exciting discovery, made
by NIMH-supported research in
Israel, produced the chemical
compound synthetically. This
means ‘hat researchers can now
precisely measure the drug’s ac
tion. I
For the first time in history,’
they can accurately study the,
sliort-term and long-tcm effects
of marihuana on ‘the, Hdnrih
body.
Research projects are ibcing
conducted in universities and oth
er research centers all over the
country with NIMH support.
The NIMH is also developing
■a public eduoatio nprogram to
disseminate research findings to|
provide current, fac’ual informa
tion about marihuana — and oth
er drugs and their misuse and a-
bue.
A new information leaflet by
the NIMH that tells what we do
know about marihuana is just
oiff ‘he press and is available
free to anyone who requests it-
Its title is “Marihuana — Some
Questions and Answers.”
Request it from: Mental Health
Matters, National Ins'itute of

Maryland, 20015.

1 feel 1 have an obligation to you, and for this
