  42. Just an interesting comparison of the two types of cigarettes.  I don't know
  43. the exact amounts that were tested but they look remarkably similar.  
  44. The information here came from an chapter in _A Primer of Drug Action_.
  45. Another very informative book about MJ is _Drugs and Behavior an Introduction
  46. to Behavioral Pharmacology_.  Both of these books provide an interesting
  47. discussion of the history and effects of MJ.

  49. Anyone else out there with info let me know.
