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.

(who's never smoked a joint but finds the above sample of gov'ment
'information' very interesting, nonetheless)
