Sex marijuana study blocked by Senate funding cut
Illinois psychologist Dr. Harris Rubin warns the Senate vote to end federal support for sex and marijuana experiments threatens scientific progress. Rubin, who had a $111,600 NIDA grant to study marijuana’s effect on male sexual arousal, says private funding may replace lost funds but fears broader chilling effects on controversial research and future federal review of federally funded projects. Opponents cited concerns about ethics and public scrutiny. The debate drew Rep. Robert Michel and Senators Proxmire and Eagleton into opposition.
