Marihuana: standardized smoke administration and dose effect curves on heart rate in humans. 1971

P F Renault, and C R Schuster, and R Heinrich, and D X Freeman

A spirometer was used to deliver marihuana and placebo smoke to human subjects. This procedure produced linear dose-effect curves on heart rate and replicable dose effects in individual subjects. No differences were observed between experienced and inexperienced smokers in responsiveness to heart rate increases produced by marihuana.
