Check out Dr. Tom's blog at www.doctortom.org find more about his
research.
In
the above graph on the left cannabis initiation,
on the right it's interesting to note that as the
rate at which applicants tried heroin
was inversely related to the age at
which they had first tried cannabis.
In more the 5000 patients
being surveyed. These are only some of the
findings. As it turns out cocaine initiation is also an inverse
graph. The bottom line is that when patients use cannabis they are
less likely to turn to hard drugs. This would support the finding that
cannabis modulates opiates in pain patients. Patients that use
cannabis with opiates to treat pain, need less opiates than with out
the cannabis.
You can participate by
becoming a patient.
The responses of Cannadoc participants reinforce what government
studies have been showing since 1975:an overwhelming majority of American adolescents have been initiating alcohol (trying it to the the point of intoxication) below the legal age (twenty-one) since 1975 when monitoring the Future (MTF) began collecting that data. The ages at which they have done so are almost identical to the ages at which adolEscents also initiated cannabis ("marijuana")
