UK: Scientists seek cannabis users for bone study
---
Scientists in Scotland are looking for two-hundred cannabis users so
they can find out whether the drug harms people's bones.
It is hoped the study at the University of Edinburgh could lead to the
development of medicines to treat osteoporosis.
So far researchers know the banned substance affects our skeletons, but
they are not sure whether it worsens the disease, or makes it better.
