Since 1992, every Thursday and when breaking news warrants, NORML | The NORML Foundation have been issuing weekly press releases for marijuana law supporters and the media.

Investigators concluded, “Our findings align with epidemiological research on thousands of participants that found no association between cannabis and cardiovascular disease [or] mortality.”
Authors concluded, “There are no instances where the average effect of cannabis is equal to or greater than the driving performance decrements associated with BAC concentration ranging from 0.04 to 0.06 percent.”
Ninety-three percent of respondents said that they lacked adequate knowledge about cannabis’ overall effects, and 97 percent said that they lacked sufficient knowledge regarding which indications it could address.
Researchers reported that a significant percentage of subjects ceased their use of prescription opioids by the conclusion of the trial.
