Sounds a lot like the "marijuana-will-kill-you" study in which monkeys
exposed to marijuana smoke did, indeed, die. What was not pointed out,
however, is that the smoke was administered by way of a gas mask that gave
the test monkeys plenty of smoke but no oxygen. Thus, they died of
asphyxiation, not pot.

'information' very interesting, nonetheless)
