Pharmaceutical giant Bayer HealthCare has applied to market a marijuana-based drug in Canada.

Experts and officials from government-sanctioned medical marijuana programmes in The Netherlands, Canada, and the United States will be visiting New Zealand 26-30 May. In recent years, governments around the world have begun re-legalising the use of marijuana (cannabis) by patients with chronic pain and other forms of suffering, such as muscle spasms due to multiple sclerosis, appetite enhancement in patients with terminal conditions, and nausea due to chemotherapy. A parliamentary health select committee recently recommended that New Zealand consider making cannabis-based medicines available to suffering patients. However, no consensus yet exists on how to proceed. …

Australian police could catch criminals by matching traces of pollen on their clothes or body with a crime scene, according to a forensic pollen expert, but only if they take the right samples. The problem was that most police didn't know about forensic applications of palynology, the study of pollen or spores, said Dr Lynne Milne from the University of Western Australia. Milne presented her research at last month's conference of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society in Wellington, New Zealand. "Pollen are single cells. They are so small people pick them up or leave them at a crime scene. We can tell from soil samples on vehicle tyres or under whe…

SRI Lanka plans to lift a ban on growing cannabis and begin government cultivation of the plant, which is a key ingredient in traditional medicine, a minister was quoted saying today. Indigenous Medicine Minister Tissa Karaliyadde said he hoped to introduce a bill in parliament to allow practitioners of herbal medicine known as ayurveda to grow at least five plants each. The state itself hopes to start cultivation and land has already been earmarked for the pilot project, The Island newspaper quoted Karaliyadde saying. Despite an official ban on cannabis in Sri Lanka, it is easily available on the clandestine market both for traditional healers and smokers. By Col…

Trials of commercial hemp production would continue in NSW despite the limited success of tests underway since 1995, State MP Steve Whan said. But, the NSW government warned anyone interested in growing the crop it contained only low levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Mr Whan said that since 1995 when trials were first authorised, there had been 60 separate trials delivering important data on hemp growing and the potential of manufacturing its fibre. He said the government warned that earlier trials had been difficult, producing low yields. The first planting was carried out at Armidale but was never harvested because it performed below expectation…

JUDGES UNAFRAID TO SIDE WITH ACCUSED OVER COPS Arrested at least 36 times before, Frederick Davis could have faced 10 years in prison after deputies said a search of his vehicle turned up drugs last winter. This week, Davis is a free man. U.S. District Judge Gregory A. Presnell ruled in favor of the "very street-smart" suspect over the testimony of two Orange County deputy sheriffs, court records show. "It wasn't a question of just raising a reasonable doubt that they weren't telling the truth," said Davis' lawyer, Peter W. Kenny of the Federal Public Defender's Office. "The judge simply did not believe the police." Such rulings are uncommon, but prosec…

May 10, 2004 WHAT'S in a nickname? Quite a lot in the Philippines, where two candidates standing for parliament have fought a bitter legal battle over the right to be called "Bong". Voters can choose their favoured candidate by nickname alone, and bowling champion Olivia "Bong" Coo feared losing vital votes to movie star Ramon "Bong" Revilla in the race for a Senate seat in upcoming polls. However the Supreme Court rejected a petition from Coo and ruled that Revilla also had right to use the nickname. It ruled that neither of the candidates should be credited if the voter only wrote "Bong". Virtually every Filipino has a nickname usually decided shortly after birt…

Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell has weighed in on the marijuana debate, and left no doubt where he stands. Speaking at a conference on legalizing pot Saturday, Campbell said he supports the plan but added it pot were available legally, he would "tax the hell out of it." Campbell said every tax dollar would go to health care, noting that without the pot industry, British Columbia would be in a recession. If pot ever is legalized, don't expect Campbell to spark up. "In fact, I've never even smoked marijuana," the mayor told the conference. "My biggest fear is that I may like it more than cabernet, and then what the hell am I going to do?" Campbell says it's time …

On May 5, newspapers and news broadcasts around the country carried alarming stories about a new study of marijuana, published in that day's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Stronger marijuana makes more addicted," screamed the Los Angeles Daily News. "Abuse and dependence rise as pot becomes more potent," headlined the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Rising marijuana potency, the stories claimed, was leading more Americans to become addicted to the devil weed. Small problem: The theory that pot that is more potent is getting people hooked is almost certainly wrong. But none of the newspaper stories gave the slightest hint that might be the case. …
