Now this time they brought out the other side..... IE Government...
They were puting out the propaganda that the governemnt has spewed for years.
Their Expert was from the Brookhaven National Laboratory, (Government Agentcy) which is owned by the Department of Energy.

Here is a quote from the website:
New MicroMRI Facility Expands Lab’s Brain-Imaging Capabilities

Quote:

UPTON, NY - The U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 16, 2004, for the latest addition to its Center for Translational Neuroimaging: a high-resolution micro magnetic resonance imaging (microMRI) laboratory. The new $1.76-million facility will be devoted to non-invasive, small-animal brain-imaging research, mainly using mice and rats, to uncover the mechanisms underlying drug addiction, Alzheimer’s, autism, and other diseases of the brain. It was funded by the New York State Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research (NYSTAR); the Office of National Drug Control Policy; Stony Brook University; and Brookhaven Lab.

here are a few other bullshit studies to move forward the government's position.

After watching the special on Marijuana, I can not count the ways that the Man from Brookhaven National Laboratory is wrong. It's a government agency and of course they are going to put forward the government’s propaganda. Have you noticed that they no longer fund studies for Marijuana research at US Universities?
I wonder why that it? It's because the Universities were proving the Government wrong at every turn. The Government has been lying to us about Iraq, what makes you think they are going to tell us the truth when it comes to Marijuana?
I happen to be a Dues paying member of both MPP and NORML, and contrary to the position of your guest, we are not about legalizing all drugs… It’s a bald faced lie that your guest was telling you and the audience.
Also Short term memory loss only happens while one is high and you gain all of it back once you are sober again. As far as paranoia, it is strain specific and has to do with the fact that we fear arrest every time we light up.
Myself, I’m a medical user who if it weren’t for marijuana I would not be walking. The Pain I suffer on a daily basis can only be helped by the use of marijuana; I have Hepatitis C and can not take many pain medications because of the detrimental effects to the liver.
