These are the kinds of studies I like.
People who regularly smoke marijuana may have better control of their blood sugar and may be skinnier than non-marijuana users, according to a new study.
The research, published in the American Journal of Medicine,
shows that people who reported regularly using marijuana had a lower
risk of insulin resistance and had lower fasting insulin levels,
compared with people who never used marijuana. Researchers also found an
association between using marijuana and having a smaller waist
circumference and higher levels of "good" HDL cholesterol, compared with
non-users. The research was conducted by scientists from Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center, the University of Nebraska and the Harvard
School of Public Health.
