Gabriel G. Nahas

Dr. Gabriel Nahas of Columbia University was an anesthesiologist who conducted numerous studies on illicit drugs. His work was instrumental in establishing the harms associated with cannabis. These reports were later found both false and unscientific. Nahas himself has even said that these studies were meaningless. One of Nahas' studies included suffocating monkeys with more smoke at one time than most cannabis users could inhale throughout their entire lifes. Nahas also argued against the use of cocaine for experimental purposes in human subjects.
