I bet they did that study with joints vs filtered cigarettes. Try repeating the study using non-filtered smokes and water filtered pot (bong hits).
I bet they were referencing the 1988 study in the NEJM. That study looked at filtered cigarettes and joints AND used only 15 males who smoked both pot AND cigarettes. I'm surprised this study made it into the NEJM with such methodological issues. I would be curious to know the funding sources for the research...hmmm
