Pauline Comeau Ottawa, Canada New evidence-based guidelines are urgently needed to help doctors negotiate Canada's hazy medical marijuana landscape, particularly in light of Health Canada's efforts to impose new dose limits, say the nation's leading cannabis researcher and doctors who have been queried about their marijuana authorizations. Canada should also re-establish a formal process for developing responsible dosing strategies, says Mark Ware of McGill's University Health Centre, the sole researcher funded under the now def…

High prices From Economist.com THE costliest place in the world to get high is Japan, according to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime's annual World Drug Report. The street price of a gram of cannabis weed was $58.30 in 2005, over twice as much as in the next most expensive nation, Australia. Americans pay nearly twice as much as Canadians. Similar disparities occur in Europe. Although the Netherlands is the only Western country where cannabis can be bought legally, punters pay more there than in Germany or France. Prices are cheapest in developing countries, where enforcement is less strict. Author: The Economist Date:Sep 12th 2007 Source: h…

A Japanese prison is scrambling to eradicate marijuana plants that keep sprouting up on its exercise ground, officials said. The marijuana plants started sprouting at Abashiri Prison on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido about a year ago, said prison official Takeshi Okamura. He said officials plucked out as many as 300 marijuana plants and treated the ground last year, but several more sprouted again this year. Prisoners reported them to the guards. Officials believe the plants are wild. "Apparently, somebody knew how to tell marijuana from other plants," Okamura said. Local botanical experts concluded the marijuana seeds were inadvertently brought in with…

Another win for the 'good' guys. What a friggin joke, if these laws aren't designed to make criminals out of people who haven't committed any crime then I don't know what their point is. Has this guy actually hurt or disadvantaged anyone? Aren't laws meant to be there for the protection of society? How many other poor slobs like this guy have been taken from their families and added to the prison population that preceding U.S. presidents (and the current muppet) have boasted of increasing every year? I read a report the other day that claimed the U.S. has more political prisoners than any other country on Earth. I dont doubt it. http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles…
