April 12, 2008--A group of University of Iowa scientists is looking for marijuana smokers to help gain insight into the drug's effects. And they plan to pay subjects as much as 600 dollars to smoke their pot.

The study examines how marijuana affects brain function and cognition, with particular attention to the duration of use and the age of first use. The measure is brain imaging studies and achievement tests, such as for math and verbal skills.

Robert Block is an associate professor in the school's Department of Anesthesia and the lead investigator on the project. He says the group is looking for pot users and control subjects who consume alcohol and tobacco -- but not marijuana -- to participate in the study.

Subjects receive 20 dollars for an initial screening session. Those that participate fully pocket 600 dollars.

Block said that, depending on the results, the study might ultimately be used to support political positions on marijuana. Those could include whether there should be harsher criminal penalties, whether it should be decriminalized, or whether it should be allowed for medicinal purposes.

Both mailboxes are full! Fuckin stoners
I tried again late last nite and got thru the voice mailbox. I just got an Unknown call right now and it was sum bitch from University of Iowa.

She asked me a gang of medical history questions, then set it up for me to drive down there for the initial screen May 1st. They will pay me $20 and 50 1/2 cents a mile.

She said if you get picked for the $600, "you smoke one marijuana ciggarette" then they do an MRI on you and something about making you drink radioactive water to see the effects on your brain.

She asked where I heard of this study I said online and she was grumbling that the AP picked up on the story. She said "unfortunatly because of the advertising we are going to have to pick some people that live far away and reimberse them"

so cali people call up!!!!!
