“I remain HIGHLY skeptical”

The point of this study is that this type of lung disease cannot be picked up with normal chest x-rays. The use of cat scans that are of high quality pick up the sign of the disease much faster.

It sounds pretty accurate to me —if the evidence is in-fact the better detection method.

Well, let’s wait for more studies to come out. I’m all for medical research. One study proves nothing.

On the larger issue of pot, I think there are plenty of studies that show that it inhibits short-term memory and is bad for students, especially young students. On that issue, the evidence is solid. Students, or anyone trying to improve their skill in anything, shouldn’t be smoking pot.

But on the issue of increased lung disease, lets see what further studies show.

Translation: Now that we can see it, we do see it...
