INDEX38SUBJECT INDEX  \n41  \nFOREWORD  \nThis report,like its five predecessors,summarizes our growing,though still limited,knowledge of the health consequences ofmarihuana use.To the over simplified question,\"Is marihuana usesafe?\",we can offer a simplistic,but unequivocal,\"No.\"There isgood evidence that being \"high\"--intoxicated by marihuana --impairs responses ranging from driving to intellectual and inter-personal functioning.  \nIt is hardly surprising that marihuana is not \"safe\"in any absolutesense for no drug is or can be under all conditions of use.Manysubstances as diverse as alcohol,tobacco,cyclamates and red dyeNo.2,do not harm all users,but may be fraught with adverse healthconsequences for a significant number of them.Marihuana,too,canbe hazardous even when used occasionally.  \nWe now know that marihuana intoxication poses a significant threatto highway saf ety in much the same way that alcohol does.The exactsize of that threat remains a matter for conjecture.Many marihuanausers report driving while intoxicated and since we know drivingskills are impaired under those circumstances,the problem is real.  \nA related source of concern is the increasing number of Americanswho use marihuana on a daily or near daily basis.  Just over 8percent of the nation's 1976 high school graduates reported vir-tually daily marihuana use.  The number of 1976 graduates usingmarihuana on that basis was 40 percent greater than the numbermaking equally frequent use of alcohol.  \nTo date,most American marihuana users smoke relatively low potencymaterial and only occasionally.
