Medical Marijuana In Virginia -- Secretly Legal Since 1979


Virginia is not a state you would think of when you think of medical marijuana. In fact, as a resident of Virginia I was unaware of this law myself. However, a law was passed by the General Assembly in 1979 states the following:


Virginia Code § 18.2-251.1. Possession or distribution of marijuana for medical purposes permitted.
A. No person shall be prosecuted under § 18.2-250 or § 18.2-250.1 for the possession of marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol when that possession occurs pursuant to a valid prescription issued by a medical doctor in the course of his professional practice for treatment of cancer or glaucoma.
B. No medical doctor shall be prosecuted under § 18.2-248 or § 18.2-248.1 for dispensing or distributing marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol for medical purposes when such action occurs in the course of his professional practice for treatment of cancer or glaucoma.
C. No pharmacist shall be prosecuted under §§ 18.2-248 to 18.2-248.1 for dispensing or distributing marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol to any person who holds a valid prescription of a medical doctor for such substance issued in the course of such doctor’s professional practice for treatment of cancer or glaucoma.
So, it appears that medical marijuana is ONLY used for glaucoma and/or cancer patients. In addition, it is not permitted for Virginia to advertise in the media, so the only way a patient would be aware of where to obtain medical marijuana would be from the doctor who prescribed it.
There are so many other conditions for which medical marijuana can be immensely helpful, including anxiety, depression, migraines, asthma, MS and a long list of others. Hopefully the state of Virginia will change the laws to include more conditions for which medical cannabis can be prescribed, however it will take strong advocacy from residents and lawmakers.

NASCAR Driver Ronnie Hults Suspended for Legal Use of Medical Marijuana


NASCAR driver Ronnie Hults Suspended for Using Medical Marijuana

NASCAR Driver Ronnie Hults

Colorado NASCAR driver Ronnie Hults was suspended for legally using medicinal marijuana. This comes on the heels of the rejection of Cannabis Planet as a sponsor for a NASCAR racecar. According to NORML (and our opinion) NASCAR has shown an obvious predjudice against cannabis, even for legal medical use.

For decades, NASCAR was a big promoter of tobacco, and currently promotes for pharmaceutical companies. NORML reports that the NASCAR industry has roots in the trafficking of untaxed alcohol such as moonshine in post-prohibition America.

Even though Hults was suspended, there is no evidence reported that he has driven while using medical marijuana.

CBS News Reports Research Facility Discovers Genetic Code of the Cannabis Plant


THC Molecule

CBS News reports that a small company in Massachussetts claims to have unlocked the genetic code of cannabis. Doing so facilitates research and study on the medicinal uses of marijuana, such as the treatment of inflammatory conditions and even cancer.

The findings by Medicinal Genomics have yet to undergo review by peers, however there are over 131 billion bases of sequence which is the largest collection of cannabis genomes. The collection will be released to the scientific community at some point in the fall.

Although the company has headquarters in Massachussetts, there is also a headquarters in Amsterdam which is where the research takes place.

Angus Reid Poll Shows 55 Percent of Americans Say Yes to Marijuana Legalization



According to a new poll from Angus Reid Public Opinion, 55 percent of adults in the United States support the legalization of marijuana. 1,003 people were polled from various political parties and walks of life. Of note, 61 percent of Independents and 63 percent of Democrats support marijuana legalization.

Forty percent oppose the legalization of marijuana and five percent voted as undecided.

A higher number of men support legalization, 57 percent of men as opposed to 53 percent of women. (See our article on gender differences and legalization) Even so, there are advocacy organizations such as the NORML Women's Alliance and Moms for Marijuana that are going strong.

Those polled range in age with the ages of 35 to 54 being the most supportive of legalization, although even respondents over 55 years of age also voted yes.

Less than 10 percent of those polled do NOT support the legalization of any other illicit substance, which we think is a good thing.

To show your support, contact your Congressman or Congresswoman and let them know that the majority of U.S. citizens are in support of HR 2306 which is the '‘Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011.

Do Men and Women Have Different Views on Marijuana Legalization?



Do men and women have different views on the legalization of marijuana? According to an article by Sabrina Fendrick of NORML Women's Alliance, there is a slight difference with men leading the pack.

Fendrick says that women must work harder to rally support for the cause, and I agree. There are certainly many women who DO support the cause whose voices are going unheard because they are not speaking out.

Here are some excellent resources for women who support the cause:

Obama Sends Mixed Messages on Drug Policy


This brilliant article from Cannabis Culture  entitled "If Obama Can't Articulate His Position on Marijuana, Why Won't He Reconsider It?" was written by NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano.

An excerpt from the article reads:


Audience member: "If you can't legalize marijuana, why can't we just legalize medical marijuana, to help the people that need it?"
Obama: "Well, you know, a lot of states are making decisions about medical marijuana. As a controlled substance, the issue then is, you know, is it being prescribed by a doctor, as opposed to, you know -- well -- I'll -- I'll -- I'll -- I'll leave it at that."
It appears that President Obama is sending mixed signals and cannot form a firm opinion on this topic, therefore I am in agreement with the author of the article. Obama SHOULD reconsider his position on marijuana policies for medicinal and even recreational use.

Drug Smuggling Tunnel from Tijuana to the U.S. Discovered by Mexican Army


A tunnel spanning 300m long for the purposes of drug smuggling from Tijuana, Mexico to the United States was discovered by Mexican soldiers. According to the Mexican Army, the tunnel was not fully completed but was equipped with lighting and ventilation.

Also found were tools for drilling, a pick ax, shovels and wheelbarrows. The height of the tunnel was approximately two meters. There is no exit. The entry was concealed by a partially constructed home.

According to Mexican Army Commander Alfonso Duarte Mujica, nine men and one woman were arrested in connection with the tunnel.

This is a sativa indica hybrid, 80 percent sativa. It is a cross between Blueberry and X Haze. The color can range from bright to deep green with blue, purple and orange throughout.

Blue Dream contains around 15 to 20 percent THC. The aroma is spicy with a fruity scent, and the taste is mildly blueberry like. Smoke is thick but not as harsh as you would think.

Attorney General of Michigan Seeks to Curb Medical Marijuana

>>

The Attorney General of Michigan, Bill Schuette, is trying to bring stricter regulations to medical marijuana laws. According to Schuette, " “The law has been hijacked by drug dealers who want to make money, line their pockets and make a huge profit … This law has as many holes as Swiss cheese. It’s out of control and we need to fix it.”

Unfortunately, the proposed bills could potentially harm medical marijuana patients. Specifically, the eight bills would regulate the location of dispensiaries, impose stricter regulations on qualifying medical conditions, restrict felons from being caregivers, cease online medical marijuana certification, specify the relationship between the patient and their doctor, and more.

Republican representative John Walsh stated, "We have a goal of protecting public safety while preserving the legitimate right of people who need medical marijuana,” and claims medical marijuana patients and advocates were invited to the press conference on this issue. However, medical marijuana advocates themselves claim that medical marijuana patients and those who need MMJ were NOT invited to the press conference.

Those in support of the current Michigan marijuana laws fear that changed such as those proposed by Bill Schuette would be in conflict with the needs and rights of state citizens. No bill in Michigan exists or has been proposed that would ban medical marijuana dispensaries, although Shuette has stated in the past he believes dispensaries are unlawful and should be outlawed.

UPDATE: The Attorney General in Michigan CAN be recalled

Spokane: 5 Facing Federal Charges After Medical Marijuana Crackdown

Five men from Spokane, Washington have been indicted for maintaining a drug-involved location and the manufacture and distribution of marijuana. These charges carry maximum penalties including $250,000 in fines and 20 years in prison.


"The owners said they felt state law protected them. Jerry Laberdee, who owns MHP Medical Herb Providers, said he was not aware of the indictment.

"I am almost without words. I can't even tell you how ridiculous it seems," said Laberdee.
Laberdee and his business partner, Dennis Whited, are indicted for actions involving a marijuana dispensary on North Freya in Spokane. It was raided and shut down in May.

It is legal to have medical marijuana in the state of Washington. But it is still a federal offense.
Three other men were also indicted Wednesday. Russell Black is indicted for actions involving a dispensary in Loon Lake. Charles Wright and Jon Vivian were indicated for actions involving a dispensary located within 1,000 feet of Grant Elementary School on Spokane's South Hill. Wright said he could face 50 years in prison because his business was near an elementary school."

$2 Million Saved by Philadelphia by Not Prosecuting Pot Smokers




(This articles is by Chris Morran at the Consumerist. Visit the original article and the Consumerist website using the link at the end of this article.)
Just over a year ago, the powers that be in Philadelphia effectively decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana by offering offenders the chance to enroll in a three-hour class that would expunge the offense from their records. Not only did this give Philadelphia police more time and energy to focus on more serious crimes, it has also saved the city a pretty sizable Ziploc bag of green stuff.
"We were spending thousands of dollars for when someone possessed $10 or $15 worth of weed," District Attorney Seth Williams tells the Philadelphia Daily News. "It just didn't make any sense."
Under the program, being caught with up to 30 grams of marijuana is no longer a misdemeanor but a summary offense. By simply paying $200 to attend the three-hour class on the ills of drug use and abuse, the arrestee's record is wiped clean of the offense.
Before this change, offenders faced up to $500 in fines and possible, though unlikely jail time. If the suspect fought the charges, this meant expenses for the city — prosecutors, judges, lab tests, public defenders, etc. By all but decriminalizing pot, Williams estimates that the city has saved $2 million in the last 12 months.
Additionally, police tell the News that there has been no noticeable impact on the quality of life in Philadelphia since the program went into effect.
Looking at the bigger picture, DA Williams says the current way most U.S. authorities treat drug possession is shortsighted.
"I can put someone in jail for 90 days because they possess crack. But if we don't get them the help they need for their addiction, when they get out of jail, they're just going to be a 90-day-older crack addict," he explains. "We have to treat drug addiction as a public-health problem, not just a criminal-justice problem."

The Growing Acceptance of Medical Marijuana

Author Andrew Stratton has written a brilliant article on medical marijuana and how it is slowly becoming more mainstream...

Medical Marijuana - Gaining Acceptance
By Andrew Stratton

Medical marijuana has actually been around for eons but had been prohibited in most countries for many years. Lately, however, various nations have begun to recognize its worth in the healthcare arena. Therefore, legalization of the plant is taking hold globally as well as in the United States of America. New Jersey is the most recent state to vote "Yes" for its legalization.

It is derived from a plant called cannabis. It is often green or brown and consists of leaves, seeds and stems. While thought of over the last several decades as a strictly recreational drug, its therapeutic abilities have begun to be accepted by many.

New Jersey is the fourteenth place in the U.S. to allow its legality with the passing of "New Jersey Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana Act". While the name sounds like a gentle law, it's actually the toughest American version of its kind. Some lawmakers in the east coast are worried that it will get out of hand with certain loopholes. The loopholes reportedly are there to expand its use if necessary, by allowing the list of "debilitating medical conditions" to be added to by health officials.

A former U.S. attorney who is now the Governor-elect, Chris Christie, is especially unhappy with what he perceives as the looseness of its language. Christie claims that California is an example of a state who has become out-of-control regarding cannabis for medicinal purposes and doesn't want his place to follow suit.

The strictness of the New Jersey law lies in its requirement of purchasing the substance only via a state regulated "alternative treatment center". It is the only state to require this route of obtaining the drug; all other states allow home cultivation.

It has medicinal properties and has helped with the following health conditions:

- Cancer
- Glaucoma
- Positive HIV/AIDS diagnosis
- Seizure

The loophole-language contained in the "New Jersey Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana" states that this current list of health conditions can be added to at the discretion of the state health department. Other conditions that such marijuana is claimed to assist with by other countries and states include arthritis, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, nausea resulting from chemotherapy, epilepsy, asthma, and migraines.

If a person needs to seek out a prescription writing doctor, he or she should search the internet in order to find alternative treatment centers in their area. They should be prepared to bring health records and current prescriptions and to be examined by a physician in order to receive the okay to purchase marijuana for medicinal purposes.

In Riverside medical marijuana providers can now sell medical cannabis to patients who suffer from a number of conditions such as AIDS, cancer, gastritis, insomnia, anorexia and more. They are dedicated to providing compassionate and knowledgeable service. To know more, visit http://thcmd4u.com

Lawmakers in Indiana Considering Cannabis Legalization

Indiana lawmakers are studying the issue of legalizing marijuana.

They are also set to look at implementing decriminalization and/or medicinal cannabis laws.

What's interesting is that a top supporter of the legislation is Republican Tom Knollman. Knollman is fighting multiple sclerosis and told lawmakers outright he wished he could legally use cannabis for his pain and discomfort related to MS.

Knollman is one of the most conservative legislators in the state, however he firmly hopes to be able to use "one of God's plants" while remaining a law abiding citizen.

Texas Judge Seeking Harsher Punishment for Willie Nelson Pot Bust


via http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/case-of-willie-nelson-pot-bust-isnt-extinguished-yet/

(In our opinion we find this to be quite heinous. Willie Nelson is a 77 year old country singer. Obviously NOT a dangerous, violent criminal. The money and jail space it would take to incarcerate this man could be used to jail REAL criminals like murderers, rapists, pedophiles, crack dealers, thieves, and so on. I don't care that he is a celebrity that is irrelevant to me. And...what kind of stupid judge signs her name "by accident" then crosses it out and changes it???? That doesn't even sound right. This just makes me furious....the man committed a victimless crime and the judge acts like, "oh get him locked up, he's a dangerous criminal." I'm sorry, but FUCK that. A true example of legal ineptitude.Did Parasite Hilton get locked up when caught recently with cocaine, a dangerous drug? NO!)

125 Year Old Woman Said Cannabis was a Key to Her Health and Longevity


To me, this is irrefutable evidence that not only does cannabis do no harm, it actually has beneficial properties as well...article below:

A 125-year-old woman, said to be one of the oldest women in India, died at her home in Orissa, her family said Sunday. Fulla Nayak claimed that smoking cannabis every day was her secret to long life.
Fulla Nayak, a resident of Kanarpur village in the coastal district of Kendrapada, died of old age complications Saturday.

According to her 72-year-old grandson, Fulla was 125. But as per a voter photo identity card issued by the government in 1995 she was 120 years.

The grand old woman lived in a small mud-walled thatched house in Kanarpur, about 25 km from the district headquarters. She is survived by two of her four daughters and around two dozen relatives.
Her eldest daughter, Jamuna, 92, lives in the same village. Her husband died at the age of 50.
Fulla was in the news when her grandson Narayan Nayak claimed last week that she could be the oldest woman living in the world. He had said that he would write to the Guinness book authorities to record the claim.

Fulla was known for her love of smoking ganja and cigars and palm juice. She also loved steaming hot tea.
She had never suffered any debilitating ailment throughout her life. Except for her weak eyesight, Fulla maintained good health and used to walk without support.

Hemp Used to Remove Cancer Causing Chernobyl Toxins


Multiple sources report that hemp is being successfully used to remove cancer causing toxins from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.


"PHYTOTECH (see webpage: www.phytotech.com/index.html ) specializes in phytoremediation, the general term for using phyto (plants) to remediate (clean up) polluted sites. Phytoremediation can be used to remove radioactive elements from soil and water at former weapons producing facilaties. It can also be used to clean up metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and toxins leaching from landfills.


Plants break down or degrade organic pollutants and stabilize metal contaminants by acting as filters or traps. PHYTOTECH is conducting feild trials to improve the phytoextraction of lead, uranium, cesium-137, and strontium-90 from soils and also from water.


Founded in 1931, the Institute of Bast Crops is now the leading research institution in the Ukraine working on seed-breeding, seed-growing, cultivating, harvesting and processing hemp and flax.
The Bast Institute has a genetic bank including 400 varieties of hemp from various regions of the world.
"Hemp is proving to be one of the best phyto-remediative plants we have been able to find," said Slavik Dushenkov, a research scienst with PHYTOTECH. Test results have been promising and CGP,


PHYOTECH and the Bast Institute plan full scale trials in the Chernobyl region in the spring of 1999." (from http://www.hemp.net/news/9901/06/hemp_eats_chernobyl_waste.html)

Animals Getting High: New Book


After a long day of roaming the wild, can you blame a bird for throwing back a few fermented berries?
Perhaps not, according to author and neuroscientist David Linden, who says that wild animals will "voluntarily and repeatedly consume psychoactive plants and fungi," much like humans.
In his new book, The Compass of Pleasure: How Our Brains Make Fatty Foods, Orgasm, Exercise, Marijuana, Generosity, Vodka, Learning, and Gambling Feel So Good, Linden discusses an array of wild creatures getting stoned on pretty much whatever they can get their claws on.
The list includes birds, elephants and monkeys that scavenge for naturally fermented berries as well as African boars, porcupines and gorillas that ingest the hallucinogenic iboga plant. There are also goats getting a jump by munching on wild coffee berries and, of course, the infamous magic mushroom-loving flying reindeer.
An excerpt from the book explains:
But do we really know whether these animals like the psychoactive effects of the drug, or are they just willing to put up with them as a side effect of consuming a valuable food source? After all, fermented fruit is a tasty and nutritious meal. While it’s hard to dissociate these motivations in animals, many cases suggest that the psychoactive effect is the primary motivator for consumption. Often, only a tiny amount of plant or fungus is consumed, so while its nutritional effect is minuscule its psychoactive effect is large.
As Linden puts it, "Bob Dylan and Siberian Reindeer Agree: Everybody Must Get Stoned."

Canada Allows Vaporizers on Planes and In Airports


A report from our friends at The Weed Blog tells us that Canada allows vaporizers on planes and in airports. Read the entire article HERE: http://www.theweedblog.com/canada-allows-vaporizers-on-planes-and-in-airports/

While I know that the Volcano is considered the Rolls Royce of vaporizers, I love love love the Vapor Brothers Vapor Cannon...for a plane though something like a portable Vapor Genie pipe would be kick ass...
