Armentano has also studied up on motor impairment caused by marijuana. “Acute intoxication from marijuana that could adversely affect motor skills lasts about 60 minutes. A study published just this past year on psychomotor impairment said that experienced users of the drug really didn’t perform differently after they used marijuana.”
Indeed, a study published this past fall in the journal Psychopharmacology, titled “Tolerance and cross-tolerance to neurocognitive effects of THC and alcohol in heavy cannabis users,” reported: “In conclusion, the present study generally confirms that heavy cannabis users develop tolerance to the impairing effects of THC on neurocognitive task performance.
Yet, heavy cannabis users did not develop cross-tolerance to the impairing effects of alcohol, and the presence of the latter even selectively potentiated THC effects on measures of divided attention.” Basically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they found that while drivers who smoked marijuana did not perform that badly on driving tests, adding alcohol to the mix was really bad.
Nobody is saying that it’s OK to drive while impaired by marijuana. However, when compared to alcohol use, the harms were much less. Or as Abel puts it,wholesale newport cigarettes, “marijuana is way safer than alcohol.” A 2007 research report from the Society for the Study of Addiction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “Developing limits for driving under cannabis,” suggests a THC level of 7 to 10 nanograms per milliliter, which is analogous to .08 percent blood alcohol content in terms of driving impairment. But that just addresses the high.
There are actually some 400 different chemicals in marijuana, and indications that some of them are useful in treating some 30 different ailments. This prompts a few more questions from Abel: “What gives you the munchies? What relieves spasm? What causes short-term memory loss?” NEW YORK � After a 25-percent jump in sales last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the cigar segment is coming on strong again in c-stores, thanks in part to manufacturer innovation and tax-weary cigarette smokers jumping to large filtered cigars.
TheConvenience Store News 2010 Industry Report showed a significant leap in cigar sales last year, from $14,897 per store in 2008 to $18,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],567 per store, as retail prices rose with the increase in the federal excise tax, which pushed wholesale prices more than 32 percent.
This year, retailers and wholesalers are again reporting strong sales and continued consumer interest in the segment. “We have to be careful when we look at sales figures to factor in all of those tax dollars,” cautioned Ron Coppel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], vice president business development, Eby-Brown Co. , who said some cigar manufacturers are seeing flat or slightly decreased sales.
“There are pockets of unit growth in some subcategories, but they have been offset with unit losses in other subcategories.” Still, there have been significant in-store changes ― many pushed by cigarette retail hikes ― in consumer habits and product offer.
“We see consumers looking for options other than cigarettes to satisfy their smoking needs,” said Frank Davoli,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], director of sales and marketing for South Bend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ind.-based Richmond-Master Distributors Inc., both a supplier and retailer that owns and operates 10 Bonkers c-stores and 37 Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco stores. The company also has another 85-plus Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco licensee sites.
