Marijuana: Where there is no smoke...

Vaporizing cannabis leaves instead of burning them can release the drug's active ingredient just as effectively — while avoiding the harmful toxins inhaled through smoking the drug, according to a pilot study.

The active ingredient in cannabis leaves is in oils on the surface of leaf 'hairs'.

The potential benefits of marijuana include pain relief for multiple-sclerosis sufferers, a treatment for glaucoma, as an appetite stimulant for AIDS patients and an anti-nausea agent for people on chemotherapy.

Rather than smoking, some use the leaves to make tea or cakes for consumption. But this means that the active agents are metabolized by the liver rather than entering the bloodstream unaltered.

the pace of research has been slow, partly because there is only one source of research-approved marijuana in the United States

the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

which critics accuse of dictating research along a political agenda.

How to Detect Lies

• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.

• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.

• Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.

• If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.
