A lengthy essay about an experiment on rats to find marijuana's effect on the brain and the unique type of tolerance it creates on individuals.

HIGHLIGHTS:
"Cynics have argued that tolerance to marijuana is proof of dependence, and proof that the drug is too dangerous to be used safely and responsibly. Science has finally proven otherwise. The cynics have been wrong, the pot-smokers have been right. Tolerance to marijuana is not an indication of danger or dependence."
"There is now biological evidence that far from being the "gateway" to abusive drugs, marijuana is instead the other way to get high - the safe way."
"The NIMH tolerance study confirms what most marijuana smokers have already discovered for themselves: The more often you smoke, the less high you get."
"...This research further establishes that the brain can safely handle large, potent doses of THC."
"Meanwhile, advocates of marijuana-law reform must learn to use the latest research as a tool to demonstrate that marijuana users have been right for a long, long time. The remaining challenge is to confront the irrationality of America's current public policy."
