Before the current decade, only three comprehensive studies of the effects of repeat-dose marijuana administration had been conducted.zs45,52 Our current data base has been expanded considerably and has been reviewed in part in several comprehensive publicatiorsz53 Yet, despite an exponential increment in our fund of information about the effects of marijuana on human biologic function and behavior, we are still far from certain about the type and nature of any subtle, and perhaps disastrous, consequences that may be associated with long-term marijuana use. Data presented in this paper reprint an overview of a series of multidisciplinary studies conducted in our laboratory. The major questions that we addressed in this research were similar to those we have posed in previous These questions were: “Does chronic use of marijuana systematically affect motivation to engage in a variety of social and goal-directed activities? Are there constant relationships between free-choice marijuana intake and antecedent and consequent mood states? What are the relationships between free-choice marijuana intake and patterns of verbal interaction? What are the relationships between free-choice marijuana intake and performance on psychologic tasks that assess such functions as problem solving and risk taking, memory, time estimation, and cognitive function? And, finally, are physiologic and biochemical changes associated with repeated doses of marijuana?” Some answers for these questions are provided in each of the topical sections of this manuscript. This report is a summary of the current “state of science” for ongoing research in our laboratory and clinical research facility. More detailed presentations of data obtained in studies of behavorial and social reactions, group interaction, and tolerance will be published by Dr. Babor and his associates. Dr. A. Michael Rossi and his colleagues will report in subsequent publications on studies of mood, short-term memory, vigilance, and reaction time. Drs. Kuehnle and Bernstein have submitted data for publication on psychiatric aspects and cardiac and pulmonary function. Drs. Greenberg and Mello and their associates have presented a detailed description of studies of operant behavior elsewhere in this monograph. One of the most important joints we would like to emphasize is the 35, 37.
