BOUTET DATE: 1976 TITLE: CHRONIC INHALATION OF MARIJUANA AND TOBACCO IN DOGS: PULMONARY PATHOLOGY CITATION: RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS IN CHEMICAL PATHOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 14(2) 305-317 (1976) STUDY DESIGN: The pulmonary effects of chronic marijuana (M) and tobacco (T) smoke inhalation were studied in adult female dogs. The smoke was inhaled through a tracheostomy tube; four cigarettes containing either tobacco (3.2 g/dog) or marijuana (3.0 g/dog) were used per day over 900 days. RNDINGS/RESULTS: At autopsy, the pulmonary volume and alveolar surface of the tobacco group decreased, compared to controls and the marijuana group. The tracheostomy itself resulted in a decreased alveolar surface and a high incidence of bronchiolitis; in the order of severity the marijuana > tobacco > tracheostomy > control group. The incidence of squamous metaplasia also followed this order, but the tobacco group showed more abnormalities affecting the mucosal membrane. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic inhalation of marijuana and tobacco produced the bronchiolitis with marcrophage infiltration in the wall of the terminal air-passages.
