Cannabis blunts prostate cancer threat: study Posted Wed Aug 19, 2009 12:01pm AEST Updated Wed Aug 19, 2009 12:00pm AEST Chemicals in cannabis have been found to stop prostate cancer cells from growing in the laboratory, suggesting marijuana-based medicines could one day help fight the disease, scientists said. After working initially with human cancer cell lines, Ines Diaz-Laviada and colleagues from the University of Alcala in Madrid also tested one compound on mice and discovered it produced a significant reduction in tumour growth. Their research, published in the British Journal of Cancer, underlines the growing interest in the medical use of active chemical…

By Moira Kerr Aug 17 2009 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish...86908-21602674/ Copyright and Trade Mark Notice © 2009 owned by or licensed to Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail Ltd DRUGS police raided a pensioner's plot after her parsnips were mistaken for cannabis. Officers searched Wilma Watts' polytunnel following a tip-off that she was growing drugs. But they were left red-faced when all they found was vegetables. Community council secretary Wilma, 61, said: "They sent two policemen and when they said it was about the polytunnel, I thought, 'Oh, the community police are going to have a polytunnel'. "But then they said, 'It's not about yo…

What is going on in our world when Canadian Church of the Universe Reverends, among others, have their home taken from under them due to proceeds of crime for selling $60.00 worth of cannabis? And when Marc Emery, Canada's Prince of Pot, is given a minimum five year sentence for selling cannabis SEEDS? I remember years ago sitting in court while working, waiting for all of the trials of the day to get under way, wondering just who would lose what that day and who if anyone would go home. I can`t imagine how the good Reverends felt having no home to go to. And what it's like for Marc Emery, who will not be allowed to go home for the next while. Maybe years.... For the …

ANKARA, Turkey -- The gendarmerie destroyed a record 2 billion cannabis plants in eastern Turkey on Monday (August 10th). The drugs were seized last week near the town of Baskale in Van province, near the border with Iran. Several hundred soldiers helped authorities clear the area. The amount seized could have produced around 50 tonnes of hashish, worth an estimated $34m on the street.

It’s true story: these are three talented farmers are perched atop pile of Amsterdam’s finest weed. This big bags of buds are their ticket to early retirement – or jail. It is not paranoia, the Dutch state has unleashed a high tech war against the cannabis industry which has a major impact on growers and consumers alike. AS an result of the Christian government’s cannabis crackdown, coffee shop prices in Amsterdam almost doubled in the past two years. It’s impossible for growers not to be paranoid when the Dutch government has commissioned a company specifically to root out weed plantations. The private firm is called SEON. They have the power to use devices like an elect…

http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/N_WGDmPeLPY/default.jpg Hello my name is Joseph Malone and I would like to share my story with you as well as ask for Court Support on August 20th, 2009. In late March of 2008 I consulted with a San Diego attorney to discus the laws, policies, and procedures to operating a legal (under state law) medical marijuana dispensary. On April 2nd 2009 I went to the San Diego Board of Equalization (BOE) to apply for a sellers permit (for dispensing medical marijuana to qualified San Diego residents/patients requesting help to obtain medical marijuana). After filling out my application I was directed to BOE agent Mr. Pagan. Mr. Pagan reviewed my app…

Source: StoptheDrugWar.org Copyright: 2008 StoptheDrugWar.org Contact: drcnet@drcnet.org Website: BMW and Mercedes Use Hemp in Their Cars | Stop the Drug War (DRCNet) Remind me why hemp is illegal to grow in the U.S.: if you drive a BMW or a Mercedes Benz, or wear Armani jeans or Patagonia shirts, you could be consuming hemp. Its fiber turns up in car door panels, insulation and clothing. Its seeds make tasty granola and frozen desserts, its oil expensive cosmetics and ecologically friendly soap. If you use these products, you won’t be jailed for possession. But would-be hemp farmers’ fear of arrest is what keeps the U.S. importing the stuff instead of growing its…
