Varied Effects. Once a marijuana smoker (or eater; marijuana can be mixed into such foods as salads and brownies) becomes accustomed to pot, the effect varies according to the individual. The same, of course, is true of alcohol. "The number of joints smoked depends on the mood and the group," says the Chicago housewife. "I remember one calm, musical evening when three of us went through 14 sticks. I remember another when 20 of us smoked only three."

There were many complications. Kasperak had worked in a fume-filled steel mill, had been a heavy smoker and, as a result, his lungs were leathery. They could not exchange enough oxygen to keep him going. So an incision was made in his throat and a tube inserted to supply oxygen more efficiently and to remove mucus. Kasperak's big chest was rigid; other organs showed little tendency to close in around the small heart, and the cavity filled with fluid. His liver and kidneys had been damaged by a shortage of oxygenated blood...

That feud centered on the FTC's decision to smoke nonfilters down to a finger-burning 23 mm. (about ½ of an inch); the filters were puffed to a bare ⅛ of an inch before the filter wrapping. The industry protested that the average smoker tosses the butt away at 30 mm. (about 1½ in.). The FTC itself was divided 3 to 2 on whether to make the butt 23 mm. or 30 mm., which would generally lower the levels but make for more uniform testing because most filter and non-filter types could then be smoke-tested...
