interesting, but like lulu, i want to know what does this cause and how does it affect someone long term wise. also as to the comment from basiajune I have worked with many "medical" drug users and "growers" and dealers and to be honest, none have any major concerns ( here in canada) about additives since in most cases it is too expensive to add things like cocaine, or opiates for the going rate of sales. It simply costs too much to add these things and people will go elsewhere for something that is cheaper.

I want to know more about this. This is very interesting. And the excuses that pot smokers always use that it is healthy, it is grown not man-made. But by the time it actually gets to you from dealer to dealer you DO NOT know what is in it. We need more research about his and articles written. The brain is very important!
