E-cigarettes a 'gateway' to harder drugs, study says
Published September 04, 2014Reuters
Like conventional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes may function as a "gateway drug" that can prime the brain to be more receptive to harder drugs, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, add to the debate about the risks and benefits of electronic cigarettes, the increasingly popular devices that deliver nicotine directly without burning tobacco.
"With e-cigarettes, we get rid of the danger to the lungs and to the heart, but no one has mentioned the brain," coauthor Dr. Eric Kandel of Columbia University, whose findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine, said in a telephone interview.
In laboratory studies, the researchers showed that "once mice and rats are on nicotine, they are more addicted to cocaine" after being introduced to that drug, said Dr. Aruni Bhatnagar of the University of Louisville, who was not involved in the study but chaired a 10-member American Heart Association panel on the impact of e-cigarettes.
That was true even when the mice received nicotine without burning tobacco, Kandel, a 2000 Nobel laureate for his work on memory, told Reuters Health in a telephone interview.
The findings by Kandel and his wife, Columbia University researcher Denise Kandel, expand on her earlier work on nicotine as a "gateway drug," a theory she first reported on in 1975. [more]

i watched a show on cnbc about colorado's legal pot industry. there is a contractor here i know who is unavailable to build barns for the next 6 months because he and his farmboy crew are busy building a 30 acre greenhouse aurora, co. yep, a 30 acre greenhouse! what do you grow in a 30 acre greenhouse? crazy. his wife pretends to be unhappy about it in church, you just don't talk about that out here, but i notice she is driving a brand new suburban and has new clothes way outside her previous budget and style.
if nicotine juice is called eliquid, does that mean cannabis oil is elickweed?
some folks are getting rich off legal pot. some other folks are getting rich off vaping. i think i would be good at both. coming to a state near you. yay libertarians!

I wish Nicotine was band, outlawed, or whatever to get it off the market altogether....
