LONDON, (Reuters) - A judge Tuesday ordered actor Jamie Waylett, who plays school bully Vincent Crabbe in the "Harry Potter" movies, to serve 120 hours of community service after he admitted growing cannabis at his mother's home.

"Nevertheless you used a sophisticated growing system to do so," he was quoted as saying by the Press …

Here, we evaluated the effect of cannabinoids on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression and its effect on tumor cell invasion. Local administration of {Delta}9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major active ingredient of cannabis, down-regulated MMP-2 expression in gliomas generated in mice, as determined by Western blot, immunofluoresc…

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.…
