BTW, do we have an E-mail address for CITA that can be published on this thread? At this point in time I don't know whether they are done upgrading the C.I.T.A. website and if the site is complete. I have a future Email address for Judy Ryon (Investor Relations) and she promises to read all info sent to her. jryon@citabio.com

Cisco An interesting article , The Grass Root of Teen Drug Abuse appeared in Friday's (3/26/99) Wall Street Journal. The article written by Joseph A. Califano Jr., Head of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse @ Columbia University) is an oppositional editorial directed at the The Institute of Medicine which suggests that there is liitle correlation between movement from gateway drugs to higher more adictive drugs To paraphrase some of the statements..... it suggests that studies in Italy show that marijuana affects levels of dopamine (the substance that provides the euphoric high) in the brain in a manner similiar to heroin. The Italian researcher feels that pot may prime the brain to seek other substances in a similiar way. U.S. studies reveal that nicotine, cocaine and alcohol also affect dopamine levels. Additionally the distinguished Scripps Research Institute in California and Cumplutense University in Madrid found that rats subject to immediate marijuana withdrawls underwent changes in behavior similiarly seen to those seen after withdrawl of alchol, cocaine or opiates. The article further suggests that potfinally has a neurological withdrawl syndrome basis. It also suggests that some 100,000 pot smokers...mostly teenagers are currently in treatment. I do believe that C.I.T.A.{DTOX} has some interest in applying its proprietary procedure towards other chemical dependency areas. As evidenced by the above paraphrased article.... it would seem that the brain receptor flushing technique that C.I.T.A. uses may also apply to marijuana. If so it is only a matter of time before C.I.T.A. receives more National press coverage like the 20/20 piece. If and when that time comes it will most likely also mean that C.I.T.A. may finally enter into the buzzworld of astute investors. It seems like we are a tad early.... but with news of this nature is can only be a matter of time before the party starts rocking and a rolling.
