REREADING THE POT STATS

Pond Inlet, Nunavut -- Apparently, sex and marijuana present approximately
the same risk of a heart attack to boomers, yet it is only the marijuana
that Harold Kalant suggests we quit. What about sex? Nine of 124 marijuana
smokers indicated smoking marijuana within one hour of the onset of
heart-attack symptoms. How many had sex?

Dr. Kalant goes on to state that the liberalization of marijuana-possession
laws would lead "to an increase in use and adverse effects." In this same
vein, it stands to reason that increased sex will have similar adverse
effects -- so what about Viagra, penile implants and the like?
