Breaking: Clinical Trial Data Yet Again Affirms Cannabis� Efficacy

solomon — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:38:53 GMT

Marijuana relieves muscles tightness, pain of multiple sclerosis: Study
via the Toronto Star

Smoking marijuana can relieve muscle tightness, spasticity (contractions) and pain often experienced by those with multiple sclerosis, says research out of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.

The findings, just published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, included a controlled trial with 30 participants to understand whether inhaled cannabis would help complicated cases where existing pharmaceuticals are ineffective or trigger adverse side effects.

MS is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

The disease attacks the myelin, the protective covering wrapped around the nerves of the central nervous system, and � among other symptoms � can cause loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis.

The average age of the research participants was 50 years with 63 per cent of the study population female.

More than half the participants needed walking aids and 20 per cent used wheelchairs.

Rather than rely on self-reporting by patients regarding their muscle spasticity � a subjective measure � health professionals rated each patient�s joints on the modified Ashworth scale, a common objective tool to evaluate intensity of muscle tone.

The researchers found that the individuals in the group that smoked cannabis experienced an almost one-third decrease on the Ashworth scale � 2.74 points from a baseline score of 9.3 � meaning spasticity improved, compared to the placebo group.

As well, pain scores decreased by about 50 per cent.

�We saw a beneficial effect of smoked cannabis on treatment-resistant spasticity and pain associated with multiple sclerosis among our participants,� says Dr. Jody Corey-Bloom of the university�s department of neuroscience.

To those familiar with medicinal cannabis research, the results are hardly surprising. After all, Sativex � an oral spray containing plant cannabis extracts � is already legal by prescription to treat MS-related symptoms in over a dozen countries, including Canada, Germany, Great Britain, New Zealand, and Spain. Further, long-term assessments of the drug indicate that in addition to symptom management, cannabinoids may also play a role in halting the course of the disease.

Nevertheless, the National MS Society � like the US government � shares little enthusiasm for cannabis medicine, stating, �Studies completed thus far have not provided convincing evidence that marijuana or its derivatives provide substantiated benefits for symptoms of MS.�

Patient advocacy organizations, like the MS Society, have a responsibility to represent the interests of their constituents and to advise practitioners regarding best treatment practices. Why then does this responsibility not extend to patients who use cannabis as an alternative treatment therapy or to those that might one day potentially benefit from its use?

US Representatives Debate Defunding DEA�s Ability to Raid Medical Marijuana States

solomon — Thu, 10 May 2012 23:42:40 GMT

by Russ Belville, NORML Outreach Coordinator May 9, 2012UPDATE: Full C-SPAN video of the entire debate below ��R�R

[Update: Like previous vote totals for spending amendments to stop the federal government from spending tax dollars harassing state-sanctioned cannabisbusinesses and patients, unfortunately this vote too lost by virtually the same margins, 262-163, with 135 Democrats and 28 Republicans supporting the amendment.]

One of my favorite things about hosting NORML SHOW LIVE is the ability to break in with live coverage of events that are important to the cannabis community. Thanks to a timely tweet from SSDP, our associate producer Kaliko Castille tracked down the live C-SPAN coverage of a debate in the US House over an amendment that would defund the DEA from being able to prosecute raids in medical marijuana states. We interrupted our replay of a video interview with Dr. Donald Tashkin to cover the news.

I wish we would have broken in earlier to hear the remarks from Rep. Nadler and the other representatives who spoke on the issue. Full coverage of the debate should be up on C-SPAN�s website soon. For now, enjoy the remarks of Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), and Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO). Then recoil back to reality with Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) comparing medical marijuana to sex trafficking and a voice vote dominated by bellowing Republicans to kill the amendment.

NORML to Protest D.E.A. Imprisonment, Starvation of UCSD Student

solomon — Sun, 06 May 2012 00:13:13 GMT

by Keith Stroup, NORML Legal Director May 4, 2012Contact: Michael Cindrich (619) 262-2500 | Lance Rogers (619) 333-6882

Please be advised that on Monday, May 7, 2012 at 4:20 p.m., the local chapter of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) will protest the Drug Enforcement Administration�s detention of UCSD Engineering student Daniel Chong for five days without food and water. The protest will take place outside of the DEA office compound at 4560 Viewridge Avenue in San Diego. If you can�t be in San Diego, show your solidarity by joining the protest live online at live.norml.org.

According to news reports, Chong was arrested for smoking marijuana at a 4/20 party with other UCSD students. He was transported to a DEA holding cell and then forgotten about. During his five days in the federal cell, Chong had no access to food, water, or access to the outside world. He was forced to drink his own urine to stay alive. At one point, Chong broke his glasses with his teeth and used the glass shards to attempt suicide. He attempted to carve the words "Sorry Mom" into his arm. According to Chong, he "pretty much lost (his) mind" during the ordeal.

NORML advocates for the full legalization of marijuana so that innocent users such as Daniel Chong are not subjected to torture at the hands of the DEA. Over 20 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana offenses since 1965. NORML believes that the time has come to amend criminal prohibition and replace it with a system of legalization, regulation, and education.

More information can be found at San Diego NORML�s Facebook page.

Connecticut Will Be 17th State To Legalize Medical Marijuana

solomon — Sun, 06 May 2012 00:13:13 GMT

by Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director May 5, 2012After a raucous debate last night that lasted longer than anticipated, the Connecticut senate passed a medical cannabis bill approved by the House earlier in the session that will now head to Governor Dannel Malloy�s willing pen for signature.

With Connecticut passing a medical cannabis bill, approximately one third of the US population now resides in a state that has decided to act in favor of it�s citizens� will, as compared to the remarkably recalcitrant federal government, which, moronically, still insists cannabis is a dangerous �narcotic� and has no accepted medical value what so ever.

Congratulations to Connecticut NORML and it�s coordinator Erik Williams for leading the charge to write and pass this important and affirming legislation (Erik and company had previously worked the legislature hard in 2011 to pass cannabis decriminalization laws)!

"Today is a day of hope, compassion and dignity and I thank all of the legislators who worked hard on this legislation and who voted to pass this bill," said Erik Williams, Executive Director of Connecticut NORML. "I am so happy for all the patients who will have another medicinal option to discuss with their doctor and for all of those currently suffering with debilitating conditions who will no longer suffer the indignity of being sick and a criminal."

The statewide efforts of Connecticut NORML resulted in tens of thousands of phone calls, emails, patient and legislator meetings, and letters to legislators. "Patients and doctors told their stories and asked legislators to tell them �No, you haven�t suffered enough,�" said Williams. "Many others stressed that this bill did medical marijuana the correct way and that Connecticut had an opportunity to be a leader in America on this issue. Our strategy and dedication has obviously paid off."

Connecticut�s bill creates guidelines and regulations for cultivation centers and dispensaries.

Read more about Connecticut�s new medical cannabis law here.

The New England clean sweep may happen this year with the New Hampshire legislature possibly overriding the Governor�s oft veto of their medical cannabis bills next week. In Massachusetts, this November voters are expected to approve by a large margin a medical cannabis legalization initiative (in 2008 Massachusetts voters approved a decriminalization initiative by a whopping sixty five percent).

From west to east, the states with legal protections for lawful medical cannabis patients are: Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Colorado, Michigan, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maine (as well as the District of Columbia).

The Drug Czar Knows Even Less About Hemp Than He Knows About Marijuana

solomon — Thu, 03 May 2012 06:11:25 GMT

America�s top drug cop is clearly not an expert in agriculture. So why is Obama�s Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske claiming to be one?

Drug Czar Reiterates Government�s Opposition To Domestic Hemp Production
via NORML�s weekly news

Washington, DC: The federal government continues to oppose allowing licensed farmers the opportunity to cultivate industrial hemp for fiber and other agricultural purposes, according to statements posted last week by Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske on the whitehouse.gov website.

Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa that contains only minute (typically less than .03 percent) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana. According to a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, �The United States is the only developed nation in which industrial hemp is not an established crop.� Farmers in Canada and the European Union grow hemp commercially for fiber, seed, and oil for use in a variety of industrial and consumer products, including food.

Stated Kerlikowske on the White House�s �We the People� website: �Federal law prohibits human consumption, distribution, and possession of Schedule I controlled substances. � While most of the THC in cannabis plants is concentrated in the marijuana, all parts of the plant, including hemp, can contain THC, a Schedule I controlled substance. The Administration will continue looking for innovative ways to support farmers across the country while balancing the need to protect public health and safety.�

A white paper published by the North American Industrial Hemp Council counters: �The THC levels in industrial hemp are so low that no one could get high from smoking it. Moreover, hemp contains a relatively high percentage of another cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high. Hemp, it turns out, not only (isn�t) marijuana; it could be called �anti-marijuana.��

In recent years, lawmakers in several states � including North Dakota, Montana, and Vermont � have enacted legislation seeking to allow state-licensed farmers the opportunity to grow hemp crops. However, according to the CRS, �The US Drug Enforcement Administration has been unwilling to grant licenses for growing small plots of hemp for research purposes,� even when such research is authorized by state law, because the agency believes that doing so would �send the wrong message to the American public concerning the government�s position on drugs.�

In 2007, 2009, and again in 2011, federal lawmakers have introduced in Congress, �The Industrial Hemp Farming Act,� to exclude low potency varieties of cannabis from federal prohibition. If approved, this measure would grant state legislatures the authority to license and regulate the commercial production of hemp as an industrial and agricultural commodity. The present version of this Act, House Bill 1831, has 33 co-sponsors, but has yet to receive a Congressional hearing. The measure is before the US House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

During World War II, the US Department of Agriculture actively promoted the domestic cultivation of hemp during a campaign known as �Hemp for Victory.�

A Mother�s Day Declaration: �The Drug War Hurts Our Families�

Mother�s Day: How the Drug War Hurts Families

NORML Women�s Alliance, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and other Reform Organizations Team Up for: �Cops & Moms Week of Action�

Washington DC � Mothers from around the country will join with law enforcement and students at the National Press Club on May 2nd in honor of Mother�s Day. The press conference will launch a new coalition of national organizations that will represent mothers, police and students that seek to finally end the disastrous drug war. The NORML Women�s Alliance, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Student for Sensible Drug Policy and others will share powerful stories of losing loved ones to the criminal justice system, and the social repercussions of prohibition.* The coalition will highlight a series of activities around the country timed to Mother�s Day.

Sabrina Fendrick, Coordinator for the NORML Women�s Alliance gave the following statement:

*��Mother�s Day� was derived out of an intensely political effort to organize women on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line against the Civil War. The reason mothers were made the vehicle was because they were the ones whose children were dying in that war. Women were also largely responsible for ending alcohol prohibition.* This is more than just a �greeting-card holiday,� this is the beginning of an institutional change in our society. The government�s war on drugs is unacceptable. For our children�s sake, the concerned mothers of the world are being called on to demand the implementation of a rational, responsible, reality-based drug and marijuana policy.�

Leaders of the campaign who will be speaking at the press conference include former Maryland narcotics cop and Executive Director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), Neill Franklin; Vice-Chair of the NORML Women�s Alliance and proud mother, Diane Fornbacher; Aaron Houston, Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), Kathie Kane-Willis a Chicago social worker whose son died from an overdose two years ago; Joy Strickland, CEO of Mothers Against Teen Violence, Nina Graves (Delaware), a mother and former assistant chief of police and others.* Moms United to End the Drug War will also be unveiling a �Moms Bill of Rights.�

Event Details:

What: Mother�s Day press conference announcing coalition between moms, cops and students against the war on drugs.* Followed by a nationwide �Cops & Moms Week of Action�.
When: *May 2, 2012 at 10 a.m.
Where: National Press Club � Washington, D.C.
Who:***NORML Women�s Alliance, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Moms United to End the Drug War, and the Drug Policy Alliance.

Citizen Advocacy 101 For Marijuana Legalization: Speak Your Mind

solomon — Thu, 03 May 2012 06:11:25 GMT

by Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director May 2, 2012It is very hard to imagine that Cannabis Prohibition could have ever lasted as long as it has�75 years in America�if there were:

1) The Internet�and it�s ability to allow citizens to directly communicate, sometimes en mass, at lightening speed and at little-to-no-cost (as compared to say the pre-Internet era where the capital start up costs and regulatory entanglements to reach the masses for TV, radio and newspapers were prohibitively high except for the most well-to-do).

2) Brave and forward-looking citizens like Frank Mattioli, from western New York, posting personal videos to major media outlets like CNN, articulately and passionately advocating for major changes in America�s failed Cannabis Prohibition.

As there is far, far more cannabis smoke in Americans� closets these days than sex (including gay sex), the easy analogy to the gay rights movement�s success of �coming out of the closet� should not be loss at all by the cannabis law reform movement.

Currently, 50% of the US population favor legalizing cannabis (75% support medical access). These days one of the major questions asked repeatedly of NORML by reporters, columnists and editorial boards is �not if, but when will cannabis finally become legal in America?�

Nate Silver at the New York Times estimates that the politically crucible number of sixty percent public support for legalizing cannabis will likely occur in the next ten years.

I don�t see how this is not possible, certainly if more and more cannabis consumers and lovers of freedom, like Frank Mattioli, continue to speak their mind and vote their conscience.

Jimmy Kimmel Confronts President Obama Over Marijuana Legalization

solomon — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:56:53 GMT

by Russ Belville, NORML Outreach Coordinator April 29, 2012
�Marijuana is something that real people care about.� � Jimmy Kimmel (forward to 21:50 or click here)

Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel performed at the White House Correspondents� Dinner and took a moment to confront President Obama on his marijuana crackdown.

I do have one real question for you, Mr. President. *What�s with the marijuana crackdown? *I mean, seriously, what�s the concern, we will deplete the nation�s Funyun supply?

You know, pot smokers vote, too. *Sometimes a week after the election, but they vote.

Let�s take a quick poll. *I would like everyone in this room to raise your hand if you�ve never smoked pot.

Raise your hands if you've never smoked pot.

[Very few hands go up.]* Heh heh. *There you go. *Look at Brit Hume � he�s high right now. *He�s on his fourth almond macaroon.

Mr. President, I hope you don�t think I�m out of line here, but marijuana is something that real people care about. *The fact that you believe Speaker Boehner when he tells you he still has control of his party leads me to believe that you must be smoking some crazy great weed yourself.

Woody Harrelson just woke up.

Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel, for exemplifying how a cannabis consumer can be polite yet direct in calling on the president to explain a policy that is no longer supported by a majority of Americans. *Half of this country supports outright legalization of marijuana and three-quarters think marijuana punishments, if any, should be no more than ticketable offenses, not crimes.

Dutch Judge Paves Way To Turn Coffeeshops Into Private Clubs For Dutch Only

solomon — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:44:19 GMT

While Amsterdam coffeeshop owners hope to be able to work out a political compromise to remain open for non-Dutch, it looks like the rest of The Netherlands will quickly move to embrace these court-ordered changes to their business model.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands � Long famous for �coffee shops� where joints and cappuchinos share the menu, the Netherlands� famed tolerance for drugs could be going up in smoke.

A judge on Friday upheld a government plan to ban non-Dutch residents from buying marijuana by introducing a �weed pass� available only to residents.

The new regulation reins in one of the country�s most cherished symbols of tolerance � its laissez-faire attitude to soft drugs � and reflects the drift away from a long-held view of the Netherlands as a free-wheeling utopia.

For many tourists visiting Amsterdam the image endures � and smoking a joint in a canalside coffee shop ranks high on their to-do lists along with visiting cultural highlights like the Van Gogh Museum.

The city�s left-leaning Mayor Eberhard van der Laan is hoping to hammer out a compromise with the national government.

Coffee shops also have not given up the fight. A week ago they mustered a few hundred patrons for a �smoke-in� in downtown Amsterdam to protest the new restrictions.

A lawyer for owners, Maurice Veldman, said he would file an appeal against the ruling by a judge at The Hague District court, which clears the way for the weed pass to be introduced in southern provinces on May 1.

Was It The Odor Or Posted Photo On Instagram? Regardless, Wiz Khalifa Busted In Music

solomon — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:42:38 GMT

by Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive Director April 26, 2012The Tennessean reported last night that popular musician Wiz Khalifa and a friend were busted in Nashville after police received complaints of the strong odor of cannabis apparently*emanating from Wiz�s hotel room (I�m shocked!). After unsuccessfully trying to ditch a blunt out a window upon police entry, the pair were busted.

Every 38 seconds in America, another cannabis consumer is busted on ganja charges (850,000 per year), and with a pro-cannabis profile as high as Wiz�s (heck, hours before he was busted he posted a photo to Instagram depicting his branded rolling papers next to what looks like some excellent cannabis!) whether it was his super stinky stash or Wiz�s number as a cannabis consumer simply came up to become yet another tragic statistic in the 74-year old failed Cannabis Prohibition.

If Wiz needs legal help in Nashville or wants to perform a benefit concert for Tennessee NORML when he has to soon return to deal with their criminal justice system�NORML is here!
