This is in response to Ray's recent article on drugs, late nights, and
the immune system.  (Ray, thanks for a really informative article!)
I'm posting rather than mailing to maybe get some discusison going - also,
I've felt guilty ever since someone (I forget who) chastised the ROM's on
the network.  So...

Ray went into most detail on inhallants:
> ...are immunosuppressors (they kick the shit out of the immune system).
> ...most all over the counter poppers tested (Rush, Bolt....etc) contained
>    all sorts of contaminants

He also mentioned alcohol, late nights, and other things that run the body
down but he never mentioned my favorite illegal weed.  Just where does grass
fit in?  Does it affect the immune system, too, and is dangerous per se,
or is it in the catagory of "running the body down" - something that my body
will accept some amount of but just not too much?  Any thoughts?
