"Would you believe it? One of the reasons marijuana is illegal today is because cotton growers in the 30s lobbied against hemp farmers - they saw it as competition. Industrial hemp is not chemically addictive as is nicotine, alcohol, or caffiene." Gympie Times Saturday 18th July, 2009 Page 2 Author unknown editorial@gympietimes.com (It may not be much and flawed, but great to see some positive media information, very strange to find in the paper I thought)

California Adds Pot to List of Cancer-Causing Substances Posted on: Sunday, 5 July 2009, 10:30 CDT In a move that has the good people of California scratching their heads in perplexity, state lawmakers recently passed a measure that would eventually require medical marijuana—prescribed most frequently to alleviate suffering in patients with severe cancer—to carry a warning label telling of its potential cancer-causing risks. Last month state environmental regulators decided that cannabis should be added to its official list of substances known to cause cancer, which will likely lead to warning signs in marijuana dispensaries and cautionary labels on product packaging.…

The UN 2009 World Drug Report found that marijuana was used at least once in 2007 by between 3.3% and 4.4% of the global population, making it the most popular illegal drug. Usage was highest in Central America (10.5% of the population) and Australia/New Zealand (11%). The report also says the global underground markets for cocaine and heroin appear to have shrunk in 2008, but amphetamine production and use may be increasing in developing countri…

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-46...d-cannabis.html Now TEN cabinet ministers admit: 'We smoked cannabis' OK this was some time ago, and I know there are many more of these. So lets build the evidence that shows cannabis does no long term harm, unless they are all admitting mental imparment or brain damage while serving in office. This will be very useful information and will add to the growing evidence of the hypocracy and lies by governments around the world.

A Tale of Two Studies For 35 years scientists have known that naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant possess potent and selective anti-cancer properties, a fact that I have documented extensively in previous writings here, here, and here. Yet for more than three decades the scientific study of these anti-cancer effects has remained almost exclusively limited to preclinical in vitro (in a petri dish) and in vivo (in lab animals) analysis, rather than clinical (human) study. Why? A just published review in the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology provides an answer. Cannabinoid receptor ligands as potential anticancer agents - high hopes for new thera…
