Neither one has specific references to newspapers or anything. They state
that Columbia University held a press conference in 1976 distancing
themselves from Nahas' research, and that Nahas made retractions of
_some_ of his studies at a press conference in 1983, after much
professional ridicule. I wish one of them had thought to include a
newspaper reference or a specific date. It may be in the latest
edition of Emperor; I've got a 1991 copy.
They also talk about Nahas' associations in the UN with Kurt Waldheim
and Lyndon Larouche, his control over all UN-sponsered cannibis research
for a period in the early seventies, and a professional scandal in 1971
when he published a report of a marijuana fatality in Belgium. Larouche
and Nahas both worked at the OSS, which later became the CIA. And,
get this, Nahas is trained as an anesthesiologist!
This guy's serious bad news, and he has no credibility within the
medical community whatsoever.
References for studies repudiating Nahas' claims:
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 4/30/1973, pg.631:
highly critical review of book on cannabis by Nahas
Disproval of immune-system damage claims:
Science, vol.186, 1974, pp.740-741 "Normal Skin Test Responses in Chronic
Marihuana Users", M.J. Silverstein & P.J. Lessin

Somebody needs to hook Chris Conrad up to the net. I'm sure he's got this
kind of info ready at-hand.
