Independent research by anonymous volunteer subjects has shown definitively that cannabis smoke is far more likely to get you high than tobacco. For those of you who fear cancer of the lung, we invite you to join the Comestible study, which seeks more information regarding the ingestion of cannabis in yoghurt, koekjes and space cake.
