An apology

On the following webpage - http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap17/TheEnd.htm
[go down to section 17.5 - THE COMING OF HARRY J. ANSLINGER: ]

I thought that everyone was in on the joke, the guy on the left is indeed
Harry Anslinger, [a youthful image] but the guy on the right is Benito
Mussolini the Italian dictator. Some kind of correction will have to be
noted.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF MEDICAL CANNABIS:

Need some help:
Did you know that during the years 1840 and 1940 somewhere between 20,000
and 30,000 different medical cannabis medicines were marketed world-wide?
No joke, the following webpage [just up today] explains how that number
was calculated. In terms of actual documentation [stuff that would stand
up in court – the figure is over 2,000 at this point.]

http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap2B/GoldenAge/GoldenAge.htm

Anyway, if you have any extra time, I was hoping that you can go there and
look it over and see if you can punch any holes in the calculation. Also
if you see any misspell words, please do let me know.

Active Ingredient In Cannabis Eliminates Morphine Dependence In Rats

Information From:  Science Daily

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090706090440.htm# (via shareaholic)

 

 

ScienceDaily (July 15, 2009) — Injections of THC, the active principle of cannabis, eliminate dependence on opiates (morphine, heroin) in rats deprived of their mothers at birth.  The findings could lead to therapeutic alternatives to existing substitution treatments.

In order to study psychiatric disorders, neurobiologists use animal models, especially maternal deprivation models. Depriving rats of their mothers for several hours a day after their birth leads to a lack of care and to early stress. The lack of care, which takes place during a period of intense neuronal development, is liable to cause lasting brain dysfunction.

The study was carried out by Valérie Daugé and her team at the Laboratory for Physiopathology of Diseases of the Central Nervous System (UPMC / CNRS / INSERM).

Valérie Daugé's team at the Laboratory for Physiopathology of Diseases of the Central Nervous System (UPMC / CNRS / Inserm) analyzed the effects of maternal deprivation combined with injections of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main active principle in cannabis, on behavior with regard to opiates.

Previously, Daugé and her colleagues had shown that rats deprived of their mothers at birth become hypersensitive to the rewarding effect of morphine and heroin (substances belonging to the opiate family), and rapidly become dependent. In addition, there is a correlation between such behavioral disturbances linked to dependence, and hypoactivity of the enkephalinergic system, the endogenous opioid system.

To these rats, placed under stress from birth, the researchers intermittently administered increasingly high doses of THC (5 or 10 mg/kg) during the period corresponding to their adolescence (between 35 and 48 days after birth). By measuring their consumption of morphine in adulthood, they observed that, unlike results previously obtained, the rats no longer developed typical morphine-dependent behavior. Moreover, biochemical and molecular biological data corroborate these findings. In the striatum, a region of the brain involved in drug dependence, the production of endogenous enkephalins was restored under THC, whereas it diminished in rats stressed from birth which had not received THC.

Such animal models are validated for understanding the neurobiological and behavioral effects of postnatal conditions in humans. In this context, the findings point to the development of new treatments that could relieve withdrawal effects and suppress drug dependence.

The enkephalinergic system produces endogenous enkephalins, which are neurotransmitters that bind to the same receptors as opiates and inhibit pain messages to the brain.

14 POT DISPENSARIES IN COUNTY SHUTTERED

Dozens Arrested in Probe of Suspected Illegal Storefronts

SAN DIEGO -- More than two dozen people operating marijuana
dispensaries were arrested in countywide raids that also shut down 14
storefronts, authorities said yesterday.

District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said the search warrants served at
dispensaries and some homes Wednesday "has nothing to do with
legitimate medical marijuana patients or their caregivers."

She said the 14 storefronts targeted were "so-called medical
marijuana businesses that appear to be run by drug dealers." One of
the businesses, she said, netted $700,000 profit in six months.

According to the state's medical marijuana laws and the Attorney
General's guidelines, it is illegal to profit from the sale or
distribution of marijuana.

The user has to have a recommendation for medical marijuana by a
physician. That person, and/or his or her caregiver, have to be
verified members of a collective or cooperative in order to be
compliant with medical marijuana laws.

Officials declined to give details about the backgrounds of those
arrested, but San Diego Police Chief William Lansdowne said some of
those in custody have prior drug arrests.

Authorities said they are still tallying the amount of marijuana and
money seized in the operation. At least $70,000 in cash and six guns
were seized.

Lansdowne said Wednesday's search and seizures culminated a
five-month investigation that started with residents' complaints of
noise, vandalism and other crimes associated with the dispensaries.

"There are now 60 storefronts operating and doing this under the
guise of helping people who are sick," Dumanis said.

Some medical marijuana advocates lashed out at law enforcement's
handling of the raids.

"SWAT-style tactics are just not called for," said Margaret
Dooley-Sammuli, deputy state director for the Drug Policy Alliance,
based in Los Angeles.

Kris Hermes, spokesman for Americans for Safe Access based in
Oakland, urged for regulations to be enacted for the safe access to
medical marijuana.

Dumanis said patients or their designated caregivers who are lawfully
recommended by a physician can always cultivate plants on their
property for their use.

Deputy District Attorney Steve Walter said 23 people were arrested in
San Diego and eight people were arrested in North County. Two men
arrested face federal charges.

MERP Newsletter                                            Issue #002 - 9/03/09   The Marijuana Re-Legalization Policy Project (MRPP)= "MERP"   MERP Newsletter #002: Lets Make Obama Release Marc Emery and Re-Legalize Marijuana Self Cultivation Bruce W. Cain, Author of the "MERP" Model Note: If you cannot read or translate this go to online version: http://www.newagecitizen.com/MERP/MERP_Newsletter/MERP_News02.htm Welcome to the 2nd "MERP Newsletter."  Since I just added the entire 2010 "Global Marijuana March" (GMM) to the mailing list I thought it would be a good idea to begin by describing how the MERP model is different from the current "tax and regulate" models and "Medical Marijuana" models But first I would like to implore all of the Global Drug Reform Organizations to help one of our most important leaders: Marc Emery.  Here is what I would like to recommend: (1) Stage local protests at your city halls etc. on Saturday September 19th, 2009. (2) Make up signs that say something like this: "Obama: Clemency for Marc Emery and Immediately Re-Legalize Marijuana Self Cultivation or the People Will Rise Up Against You" or perhaps you could even add the fact that it is also a "National Security Issue" and that we will rise up against you if you don't represent the majority of Americans that now want Marijuana Legalized. (3) Distribute my latest video and translate/distribute the text of that video to your activist communities. Tools for doing this are discussed below.  Here is the link to the article and accompanying video: Obama: Free Marc Emery, Legalize Marijuana Or Else Now a little more information on the MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization.  I truly hope that MERP will become a primary issue for the 2010 Global Marijuana Marches in May 2010. In a nutshell the MERP model would allow any adult over 18 to grow, all the Marijuana they would like, without ANY taxation, regulation or other government interference (e.g., there would be no control over THC levels etc.).  It is very important to understand that MERP absolutely does not preclude the issuance of commercial licensing or commercial taxation and regulation.  But self cultivation is protected as an inalienable sacred right.  Such a system would self regulate the market without much need for regulation since the current profit margins (e.g., $300 to $600 and ounce) would be replaced by normal profits where an ounce would probably not sell for more than 100 percent over the cost of growing.  In other words adults could grow their Marijuana for free and commercial growers would have to compete in a free and open market. And since the GMM events take place throughout the planet I have also included a translation widget at the top of the email so this email newsletter can be read in virtually any language.  Most of the articles also contain this translation widget for the same reason. You can always read the latest on the MERP Model and strategy at the following website: MERP Headquarters The Marijuana Re-Legalization Policy Project (MRPP)= "MERP" http://www.newagecitizen.com/MERP.htm You will find the following link on this page: How Non-English Activists Can Contact MERP Headquarters This link can be used to facilitate communication between all groups as it allows you to translate your email communications from your native language to any other language. It should also allow me to answer any questions concerning MERP from non-English speaking activists. At this point I would like to encourage you to lend some support to one of the most dedicated Marijuana reform activists: Canadian Marc Emery.  He is scheduled to be extradited to the United States on September 21st, 2009 for selling Marijuana seeds to Americans.  Please read through the following article and either attend or stage an event on September 19th to protest his extradition: Obama: Free Marc Emery, Legalize Marijuana Or Else At any rate we are just getting organized here and hope that you will help spread the word so we can end this senseless "War on Marijuana Consumers" as quickly as possible.  To that end we highly encourage you to forward the following link to all of your friends and activists so that they can also receive the MERP Newsletter and become involved with promoting and implementing the MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization.   The sooner our numbers grow the sooner MERP will get implemented. http://www.newagecitizen.com/EmailListSignUp.asp Yours in Peace and Freedom, Note: The two "activists" that wanted to unsubscribe will be unsubscribed within the week unless I hear from them.

DON'T BOGART THAT RESEARCH

When the federal Department of Health and Human Services recently
issued a request for proposals, seeking competitive applications for
the production, analysis and distribution of "marijuana cigarettes,"
the request might have seemed a bit unusual to those unfamiliar with
Washington's dance around cannabis research. The federal government,
after all, is not widely known to support marijuana cultivation.

But those in the know just shrugged. The department has issued
similar requests every few years to select a contractor to conduct
government-approved marijuana research, and with depressing
regularity it has then awarded an exclusive contract to the
University of Mississippi. For 40 years now, Washington has sought
such "competitive applications" and Mississippi "wins" every time.

This rigged contest has successfully thwarted meaningful academic
inquiry into marijuana's medicinal value, without which the debate
over its efficacy is bound to endure. Other studies -- not conducted
by the University of Mississippi -- have suggested that marijuana has
therapeutic value. But because the United States has discouraged such
research and made it legally difficult to undertake, these studies
have been limited in scope. What's missing is the broad research
analyzing the cultivation and properties of different strains and
their effects on a variety of illnesses. For example, a strain of
cannabis that is most effective with glaucoma may not be the same
strain best suited to cancer patients.

Even if the university were running a perfect program, one
institution cannot fulfill the country's research needs. In February
2007, when Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner recommended
that the Drug Enforcement Administration grant a license to cultivate
marijuana for research purposes to a botanist at the University of
Massachusetts, she said she had concluded that the supply of
marijuana from the University of Mississippi program was of
insufficient quality and quantity for research purposes.

The deadline for this latest round of applications is Oct. 9. The
government should take the opportunity to break the University of
Mississippi's monopoly and choose a different institution. That step
alone would be a sign that the Obama administration will prioritize
science over politics. Merely shifting the contract from one
institution to another, however, won't change the status quo. That
will only happen when the federal government changes policy and
awards multiple contracts for this important research.
