At the University of Iowa, a group of scientists are looking for people to smoke pot as part of a study to help gain some ideas concerning marijuana's effect on brain function using brain imaging studies and achievement tests as a guide.

Robert Block, associate professor of the universities Department of Anethesia, said the scientists are looking for both pot smokers, and people who don't smoke pot, but may consume alcohol and tobacco for the study.

Subjects will get $20 for an initial screening, with $600 for their full participation. The findings might be used to support whether marijuana should be decriminalized, used for medicinal purposes, or if harsher criminal penalties should apply.

WHO TV - Des Moines: UI scientists seek marijuana smokers for pot study

I want the scientists' job, do a test decades after everyone else and find out the same things they did and get paid for it.

Not only that, but free drugs too! I can just imagine the conversation that kicked this idea off... Probably started over a game of poker, or Halo. *blurry flashback dream scene ensues*

the pot smoker group should secretly take xtc during the tests, lol.

This really shows how typically stupid humans are.
Just think how many lives were ruined because of the laws against weed.

EJ Stone does not smoke any substance. never had, never will. EJ Stone has never taken any illegal substance.

EJ Stone will barely take an aspirin.

Well, good for you. I haven't taken/smoked anything illegal for 30 years and don't plan to.

I still think it should be legalized. The police resources are needed elsewhere i.e., rape, robbery, murder.

EJ "STONER" BWAHAHAH What a concept!

BWWWHAHAHAHAHA!

EJ Stone is missing out... or should I say missed out....
