Rick,

"Marijuana use weakens the immune system. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
the most active compound in marijuana, alters the normal immune response,
making the white blood cells 35-40 percent less effective than normal."
That's a quote from Prescription for Nutritional Healing, by J.F. Balch, MD.
and P.A. Balch, CNC. Considering that 'nutritional therapies' are generally
pretty non-traditional and very accepting of alternative therapies (i.e.: open
minded), I'd put a lot of weight on their statement - especially in view of the
fact that most of us seem to have weakened immune systems. But of course,
everyone has to make their own judgements.
