Jerry,
	Two studies pbulished in the journal of the American Medical
Association  showed no evidence of brain damage in heavy marijuana
users.  That same year, the AMA officially declared they were in favor
of decriminalizing marijuana.  
Sources:The two JAMA studies are: Co, B.T., Goodwin, D.W., Gado, M.,
Mikhael, M., and Hill, S.Y.:  "Absence of cerebral atrophy in chronic
cannabis users", JAMA, 237:1229-30, 1977; and , Kuehnle, J.,
Mendelson, J.H., Davis, K.R., and New, P.F.J.:"Computed tomographic
examination of heavy marijuana smokers", JAMA, 237:1231-32, 1977.

	Thank you for interest in my newsletter.  I will email it to
you this weekend.  Take care!
