The Bath University team found people with the gut disorder had an abundant number of a type of cannabinoid receptors in their body. They believe this is part of the body's attempt to dampen down the inflammation and that giving a drug that binds to these receptors could boost this. Their findings appear in the journal Gastroenterology. Cannabinoids When people have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis - colle…

Media Release 20.07.2005 Green light for cannabis but not tobacco. MP Nandor Tanczos’ Misuse of Drugs (Cannabis Infringement) Amendment Bill, if passed through parliament, will be the first step in the Green Party’s push to have cannabis legalised. The Green Party is calling for partial decriminalisation of cannabis. This comes from an avid supporter of the Smokefree Environments Amendment Act that outlawed smoking in bars. Tanczos, on national television, admitted to being a once a month cannabis user, an admission of possession of cannabis, an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975. One questions whether Tanczos is a fit and proper person to be in parliamen…

Production of cannabis, the most commonly used street drug in the world, has jumped by around 25% in one year, the United Nations said in a report on Wednesday. An estimated 161 million people used cannabis in 2003, equivalent to 4% of the global population between the ages of 15 and 64, the UN said its 2005 World Drug Report. The production of cannabis - marijuana and hashish - may have exceeded 40 000 tons in 2003, up from 32 000 the previous year, said the report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The production of herbal cannabis is "extremely dispersed", while production of cannabis resin, or hashish, seems to be concentrated in Morocco, which supplie…

Researchers in the United States have found that a cannabis like chemical produced naturally in the brain helps with pain relief. They say the finding may lead to new drugs which can stimulate this natural response. Research has so far concentrated on developing compounds in cannabis itself into medications, but this study shows for the first time that natural marijuana-like chemicals in the brain have a link to pain suppression. The US scientists say their new understanding of how the brain chemical works could lead to drugs with fewer side-effects. Professor Danielle Piomelli, director of the Center for Drug Discovery at the University of California, Irvine, say…

This week Ukiah residents will notice a definite increase in helicopter traffic overhead. Nine helicopters, ranging from small Bell Jet Rangers to a National Guard Black Hawk from Moffett Field in the Bay Area, are taking part in a week-long Aerial Observation School being held at the Ukiah Airport as part of the ongoing marijuana suppression effort. The school is funded by the Drug Enforcement Agency whose larger goal is to eradicate cannabis growing nationwide. The Mendocino County Sheriff's Department plays an instrumental role, using its local expertise by hosting the training session for other law enforcement agencies. It all happens under the watchful eye of Sergea…

SUFFERERS of multiple sclerosis reacted with dismay yesterday after a cannabis-based drug failed to gain a licence to be used in treatment of the condition. In clinical trials carried out at Dundee University, MS patients reported benefits from using cannabis extract Sativex. But the Medicines Commission was not satisfied with the efficacy of the drug and has refused a licence. Earlier this year, Canada became the first country in the world to approve the painkiller and doctors there can prescribe Sativex to MS patients. Scotland has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with more than 10,000 sufferers. Mark Hazlewood, director of the MS Society in S…

High-intensity lights at a top-secret “cannabis factory” were shining so brightly today they dazzled British police officers driving past. Had it not been for the powerful glare coming from the residential address on Wootton Bassett Road in Swindon, Wiltshire, the squad car would have driven on. A police spokeswoman said tonight: “Uniformed officers were driving past when they were alerted to bright lights shining from the address. “On closer inspection they saw what they believed to be the cultivation of a controlled drug.” After raiding the three-storey property, the police found it had been transformed into a “highly organised factory for the cultivation of can…

MPP's release/ On June 6, 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that the federal government can continue arresting patients who use medical marijuana legally under their state laws. However, the court did not overturn state medical marijuana laws or in any way interfere with their continued operation. At issue in Ashcroft v. Raich was whether the federal government has the constitutional authority to arrest and prosecute patients who are using medical marijuana in compliance with state laws. In its ruling, the Supreme Court indicated that Congress—not the Court—must be the institution to change federal law to protect medical marijuana patients from arrest. Wh…
