Veterans Affairs committee  Am I looking at this too narrowly if.... I'm just going to make my suggestion. I think a lot of the work that I hear about at this committee, particularly from the medical profession and psychiatrists, is critical information. Networking and collaboration, as you said, are absol

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Do I have more time?

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. I did have a question about some topics of discussion today on the type, in terms of smoking marijuana. What's the impact on the lungs? Are there any side effects physiologically from smoking versus ingestion, say, in a pill format?
