Original article here: http://www.peak.sfu.ca/the-peak/2005-3/issue9/ne-mj.html science: Study shows marijuana increases brain cell growth By Juanita King, The Muse (Memorial University of Newfoundland) ST. JOHN’S, Nfld — Supporters of marijuana may finally have an excuse to smoke weed every day. A recent study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that smoking pot can make the brain grow. Though most drugs inhibit the growth of new brain cells, injections of a synthetic cannibinoid have had the opposite effect in mice in a study performed at the University of Saskatchewan. Research on how drugs affect the brain has been critical to addiction treatment…

Government to reclassify cannabis in clampdown http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/poli...icle3156255.ece Francis Elliott and Richard Ford Cannabis is to be reclassified as a Class B drug after an official review this spring, The Times has learnt. Gordon Brown and Jacqui Smith are determined to reverse the decision to downgrade the drug when the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs completes its report in the next few months. While its recommendations are not yet known, ministers are already making plain that the Home Secretary is prepared to overrule the expert body if necessary. Reclassifying cannabis as a Class B drug will mean that anyone found in posse…

Not even the hint of a suggestion that tobacco use could possibly CAUSE mental illness - yet if Politicians or the Media get a story about cannabis it's cause without proof! Really makes me angry how easily the public swallows this shit, and how most people won't even register the clear hypocrisy and lack of substance of the "cannabis psychosis" mantra: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22908849-421,00.html By Tamara McLean December 11, 2007 04:47pm Article from: AAP Font size: + - Send this article: Print Email PEOPLE with mental illness are three times more likely to smoke, and experts say not enough is being done to help this vulnerable group quit.

My Turn: It's time to decriminalize marijuana Published: Friday, January 4, 2008 By Ken Freer We lost the so called "War on Drugs" a long time ago and it's time to introduce a little common sense. Gov. Jim Douglas' spat with Windsor County prosecutor Robert Sand brought this issue to our attention just recently. I think that the Vermont Lottery does more harm to Vermont citizens than smoking marijuana. The Lottery Commissioner always shouts, "Please play responsibly!" while he and his staff are dreaming up more games to fleece those people who can least afford to lose the money. Now the governor is talking about leasing the lottery to a private business that will pr…

Let's Decriminalize the Marijuana Fiasco by Hal Sisson, Q.C., Canadian Correspondent in Law As I purchased a mocha latte at a coffee shop in the Cook Street village area of Victoria, I noticed two senior citizen ladies wearing red jackets with ‘Crime Watch’ - Volunteer -- emblazoned both back and front. Because I was writing a novel, whose content involved the decriminalization of marijuana, I entered into conversation with them. “Do you find there is any significant amount of marijuana dealing or smoking around the village?” I asked politely. They invited me to sit at their table. “Not that we’ve noticed,” was the joint reply. “What kind of crime do you wat…

Ali xx The Drug War Gets Personal ( 94 reads) Wednesday, January 02, 2008 Hi everyone.

OK in California there is a guy who ran a marijuana dispensary (a legal pot shop for medical reasons) made a music video of how he is a drug dealer, saying "fuck the fed's!"..... now he sells pot legally, but he also does things on the side, and he couldn't wait to brag about what he does. Talk about asking for an arse raping from the police. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/60_Minutes_C...ystem_1231.html California's Proposition 215 legalized medical marijuana in that state 11 years ago as a treatment for pain, the side-effects of chemotherapy, and other ailments. However, the federal government still views all marijuana use as illegal, and the Supreme Court has upheld…

New marijuana law not catching on with local authorities Dec. 31, 2007, 9:47AM © 2007 The Associated Press DALLAS — Many Texans busted for misdemeanor marijuana possession are still being jailed despite a new state law that allows police to issue a citation instead of making an arrest, according to a newspaper report. Texas lawmakers hoped to ease jail crowding with the new legislation, which took effect Sept. 1, but some local prosecutors worry what message getting a mere ticket for pot might send. "It may...lead some people to believe that drug use is no more serious than double parking," Collin County prosecutor Greg Davis said in Tuesday's editions of The Dal…
