Oh well, at least they didn't claim that cannabis leads to heroin, which was they usually do when they're trying to scare you.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. If what they say in the article is true then my bones should have turned into dust many years ago.

Interesting bench research, but even the authors admit that the theory has not been tested.
Keep in mind
1. The typical osteoporosis patient is an elderly caucasian female.
2. Bone mass is built by vigerous exercise and a healthy diet prior to age 30, and is very slowly eroded from there.
3. Chemical alteration of this process has proven to be quite difficult, despite billions of dollars in research.

Fire up a fat one, take a long walk, engage in vigorous activity with someone that catches your eye, and have a big chunk of cheese--your bones will thank you!

Weasel

well put, weasel. it seems like for 50 years, we have been trying to "study" the health risks of marajuana, only to realize that it makes you want to eat chocolate chip cookies.

too bad the fkks are not in the netherlands, where we can also enjoy the pleasures of the coffeehouses. perhaps that is why many here fly into amsterdam and then train to germany-- they want to first get high. sounds like a good plan to me.

probably will go around september 8th, study the health risks in amsterdam for 2 days, then train to frankfurt to study the health risks of fkk sauna clubs for two days or so.
