study group demonstrated clinically elevated scores on the PANAS, POMS, or the BDI. On the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), all subjects within the non-marijuana smoking control subjects scored within the minimal range, as did all but one of the chronic, heavy marijuana smoking subjects, who had a total score which fell at the low end of the mild range. Within each of the subject groups, no subjects demonstrated clinically elevated scores on any of the POMS subscales or the PANAS positive or negative items, and all subjects within the non-marijuana smoking control subjects and all but one of the chronic, heavy marijuana smokers scored within the minimal (lowest possible) symptom range on the BDI. It is of note that while one chronic marijuana smoking subject had a total BDI score which was in the low end of the mild symptom range, this appeared to be related to a change in sleep and fatigue level secondary to a new living situation. Overall, scores on the PANAS, POMS and BDI for both groups suggested that the study samples were affectively stable at the time of testing. Given that one female subject was included in each sample, we completed analyses with and without
