NEW LIFE BREATHED INTO MARIJUANA STUDY
SAN MATEO -- A groundbreaking medical marijuana experiment by San Mateo
County doctors got a second life Wednesday after the federal government
agreed to open up eligibility on who may participate in the testing.
The County hospital's chief of AIDS research, Dr. Dennis Israelski,
launched a study two years ago with AIDS patients on the use of marijuana
in alleviating painful symptoms of AIDS.
However, narrow standards on who could join the study hamstrung researchers
and some subjects dropped out, complaining the federally-supplied pot was
too harsh.
