...really know how many people smoke it. Some sources say 10 million Americans, others say 35 million. But a lot of people smoke pot and they don't seem very sick. Marijuana just won't go away. Everybody talks about it-many quite fondly. About everyone I know under 55 has smoked it. And they're all right. A few have that pothead "oh wow" personality, but so what? I don't know of one case of serious marijuana-related disease among my friends, family and acquaintances...
...work I have to report the same thing. I've been in hospitals and around sick people for 26 years now. I've admitted plenty of patients who have owned up to using pot.

The research team, led by Harvard School of Public Health Assistant Professor of Epidemiology Dominique S. Michaud, analyzed two well-known cohort studies, the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. The research was unique...
...America, chatting as it flailed away, ignorant of its imminent demise. It was subject he painted on a vast, teeming canvas - Brueghel reimagined by Jackson Pollock - where folks elbow and fast-talk their way toward your attention. His fugue format, pouring dozens of plots into a post-ethnic melting pot, gave everyone a brief grab at movie immortality. On the great plains of Altman's precious wide screen, America bustled, hustled and tussled. His searching telephoto lens, focusing on this micro-event or that, suggested the eye of a man who is always interested, was rarely impressed...
