			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Cancer-fighting properties of cannabis<br /><br />More than twenty major studies published between 2001 and 2006have shown that the chemicals in cannabis known as cannabinoids have a significant effect fighting cancer cells. We now know cannabinoids arrest many kinds of cancer growths (brain, breast, leukemic, melanoma, phaeochromocytoma, et al.) through promotion of apoptosis (programmed cell death) that is lost in tumors, and by arresting angiogenesis (increased blood vessel production).<br /><br />Recent scientific advances in the study of cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids have produced exciting new leads in the search for anti-cancer treatments.<br /><br />There is growing evidence of direct anti-tumor activity of cannabinoids, specifically CB1 and CB2 agonists, in a range of cancer types including brain (gliomas), skin, pituitary, prostate and bowel. The antitumor activity has led in laboratory animals and in-vitro human tissues to regression of tumors, reductions in vascularisation (blood supply) and metastases (secondary tumors), as well as direct inducement of death (apoptosis) among cancer cells. Indeed, the complex interactions of endogenous cannabinoids and receptors are leading to greater scientific understanding of the mechanisms by which cancers develop.<br /><br />The findings of these studies are borne out by the reports of such patients as Steve Kubby, whose cannabis use is credited with keeping a rare, terminal cancer in a state of remission for decades beyond conventional expectations.<br />Research on tumor reduction<br /><br />Although cannabis smoke has been shown to have precancerous-causing effects in animal tissue, epidemiological studies on humans have failed to link cannabis smoking with cancer.21,22 If smoke inhalation is a concern, cannabis can be used with a vaporizer, orally in baked goods, and topically as a tincture or a suppository.<br /><br />Cannabinoids, the active components of cannabis, have been shown to exhibit anti-tumor properties. Multiple studies published between 2001 and 2006 found that cannabinoids inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals.23-27 In another study, injections of synthetic THC eradicated malignant brain tumors in one-third of treated rats, and prolonged life in another third by as much as six weeks.28 Other journals have also reported on cannabinoids' antitumoral potential.29-35 Italian research teams reported in 1998 and 2001 that the endocannabinoid anandamide, which binds to the same brain receptors as cannabis, "potently and selectively inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells in vitro" by interfering with their DNA production cycle.36-38 Cannabis has been shown in recent studies to inhibit the growth of thyroid, prostate and colorectal cancer cells.39-41 THC has been found to cause the death of glioma cells.42,43 And research on pituitary cancers shows cannabinoids are key to regulating human pituitary hormone secretion.44-47<br /><br />In 2004 an Italian research team demonstrated that the administration of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) to nude mice significantly inhibited the growth of subcutaneously implanted U87 human glioma cells. The authors of the study concluded that "&#8230; CBD was able to produce a significant antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting a possible application of CBD as an antineoplastic agent (an agent that inhibits the growth of malignant cells.)"48<br /><br />More recently, investigators at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute reported that the administration of THC on human glioblastoma multiforme cell lines decreased the proliferation of malignant cells and induced apoptosis (programmed cell death) more rapidly than did the administration of an alternative synthetic cannabis receptor agonist.49<br /><br />How cannabis compares to other medications<br /><br />The American Cancer Society lists 269 medicines currently prescribed to treat cancer and its symptoms, and to treat the side effects of other cancer drugs. Some drugs are prescribed for pain caused by cancer, and cancer patients report pain relief with cannabis therapy. Many chemotherapy agents cause severe nausea and 13 drugs are currently prescribed to treat nausea, including Marinol, a synthetic form of delta-9-THC, one of the active ingredients in cannabis.<br /><br />The newer antiemetics, Anzamet, Kytril and Zofran, are serotonin antagonists, blocking the neurotransmitter that sends a vomiting signal to the brain. Rare side effects of these drugs include fever, fatigue, bone pain, muscle aches, constipation, loss of appetite, inflammation of the pancreas, changes in electrical activity of heart, vivid dreams, sleep problems, confusion, anxiety and facial swelling.<br /><br />Reglan, a substituted benzamide, increases emptying of the stomach, thus decreasing the chance of developing nausea and vomiting due to food remaining in the stomach. When given at high doses, it blocks the messages to the part of the brain responsible for nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy. Side effects include sleepiness, restlessness, diarrhea and dry mouth. Rarer side effects are rash, hives and decreased blood pressure<br /><br />Haldol and Inapsine are tranquilizers that block messages to the part of the brain responsible for nausea and vomiting. Possible side effects include decreased breathing rate, increased heart rate, decrease in blood pressure when changing position and, rarely, change in electrical activity of the heart.<br /><br />Compazine and Torecan are phenothiazines, the first major anti-nausea drugs. Both have tranquilizing effects. Common side effects include dry mouth and constipation. Less common effects are blurred vision, restlessness, involuntary muscle movements, tremors, increased appetite, weight gain, increased heart rate and changes in electrical activity of heart. Rare side effects include jaundice, rash, hives and increased sensitivity to sunlight.<br /><br />Benadryl, an antihistamine, is given along with Reglan, Haldol, Inapsine, Compazine and Torecan to counter side effects of restlessness, tongue protrusion, and involuntary movements. Its side effects include sedation, drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, confusion, excitability and decreased blood pressure.<br /><br />Decadron (dexamethasone), a corticosteroid, is given with other chemotherapy drugs as an adjunct medication. Common side effects include increased appetite, irritation of stomach, euphoria, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, flushing, increased blood sugar, decreased blood potassium level. Possible side effects upon discontinuing the drug include adrenal insufficiency, weakness, aches, fever, dizziness, lowering of blood pressure when changing position, difficulty breathing, and low blood sugar.<br /><br />Benzodiazepine drugs Ativan and Xanax are also prescribed to combat the effects of chemotherapy. Ativan causes amnesia. Abruptly stopping the drug can cause anxiety, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and tiredness. It can cause drowsiness, confusion, weakness, and headache when first starting the drug. Nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, and palpitations are possible side effects.<br /><br />In addition, in April 2003 the FDA approved the drug Emend (aprepitant) to help control delayed-onset nausea. It is given along with two other anti-nausea drugs. A regimen of three pills costs $250. The most common side effects with Emend are fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea. span&gt;<br /><br />Cannabis: By comparison, the side effects associated with cannabis are typically mild and are classified as "low risk." Euphoric mood changes are among the most frequent side effects. Cannabinoids can exacerbate schizophrenic psychosis in predisposed persons. Cannabinoids impede cognitive and psychomotor performance, resulting in temporary impairment. Chronic use can lead to the development of tolerance. Tachycardia and hypotension are frequently documented as adverse events in the cardiovascular system. A few cases of myocardial ischemia have been reported in young and previously healthy patients. Inhaling the smoke of cannabis cigarettes induces side effects on the respiratory system. Cannabinoids are contraindicated for patients with a history of cardiac ischemias. In summary, a low risk profile is evident from the literature available. Serious complications are very rare and are not usually reported during the use of cannabinoids for medical indications.]]></content:encoded>

			<title>NORML Attorneys File Multiple Constitutional Challenges To Federal Medical Marijuana Crackdown</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Posted by the 420NURSES~<br /><br />By Russ Belville<br />NORML Attorneys Matt Kumin, David Michael, and Alan Silber, have filed suit (read here) in the four federal districts in California to challenge the Obama Administration&#8217;s recent crackdown on medical marijuana operations in the Golden State.Aided by expert testimony from NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano and research from California NORML Director Dale Gieringer, the suits seek an injunction against the recent federal intrusion into state medical marijuana laws at least and at most a declaration of the unconstitutionality of the Controlled Substances Act with respect to state regulation of medical marijuana.<br />The NORML attorneys allege the federal government has engaged in entrapment of California patients and their caregivers.  They point to the courts&#8217; dismissal of County of Santa Cruz, WAMM et al. v. Eric Holder et al. where the Department of Justice (DOJ) &#8220;promised a federal judge that it had changed its policy toward the enforcement of its federal drug laws relative to California medical cannabis patients.&#8221;  So after 2009, California providers had reason to believe that the federal government had changed its policy.  The legal argument is called &#8216;judicial estoppel&#8217;, which basically means that courts can&#8217;t hold true to a fact in one case and then disregard it in another.<br />Kumin, Michael, and Silber also argue the government has engaged in &#8216;equitable estoppel&#8217;, which most people commonly think of as &#8216;entrapment&#8217;.  That is to say, you can&#8217;t bust a person for committing a crime when the authorities told him it wasn&#8217;t a crime to do it!<br />Under established principles of estoppel and particularly in the context of the defense of estoppel by entrapment, defendants to a criminal action are protected and should not be prosecuted if they have reasonably relied on statements from the government indicating that their conduct is not unlawful. That principle should be applied to potential defendants as well, the plaintiffs in this action.  Such parties, courts have noted, are &#8220;person[s] sincerely desirous of obeying the law&#8221;. They &#8220;accepted the information as true and [were]&#8230;not on notice to make further inquiries.&#8221; U.S. v. Weitzenhoff, 1 F. 3d 1523, 1534 (9th Cir. 1993).<br />The US Constitution figures prominently in the legal challenge as well.  The 9th Amendment says that &#8220;The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.&#8221;  The NORML attorneys argue that threatening seizure of property and criminal sanctions violates the rights of the people to &#8220;consult with their doctors about their bodies and health.&#8221;<br />The 10th Amendment provides that &#8220;The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.&#8221;  The NORML attorneys argue that the States have the &#8220;primary plenary power to protect the health of its citizens&#8221; and since the government has recognized and not attempted to stop Colorado&#8217;s state-run medical marijuana dispensary program, it cannot suggest Colorado has a state&#8217;s right that California does not.<br />The 14th Amendment says that all citizens have equal protection under the law.  The NORML attorneys argue that the federal government:<br />1. Actively provides cannabis for medical purposes to individuals through its own IND program.<br />2. Actively allows patients in Colorado to access medical cannabis through a state-licensing system that allows individuals to make profit from the sales of medical cannabis.<br />3. Actively restricts scientific research into the medical value and use of cannabis to alleviate human suffering and pain.<br />Thus, according to Kumin, Michael, and Silber, the government can&#8217;t be allowing Colorado medical marijuana commerce, engaging it its own IND program that mails 300 joints a month to four federal medical marijuana patients yet squelching all attempts to study medical value of marijuana, then have a rational basis for shutting down medical marijuana dispensaries in California.  Under the 14th Amendment, the feds can&#8217;t treat Californians differently than Coloradoans and differently than four US citizens who get legal federal medical marijuana.<br />Finally, while acknowledging that Raich v. Gonzales 545 US 1 (2005) set the precedent that the Constitution&#8217;s Interstate Commerce Clause does allow the feds to prosecute California&#8217;s medical marijuana, the NORML attorneys argue:<br />&#8230;it is still difficult to imagine that marijuana grown only in California, pursuant to California State law, and distributed only within California, only to California residents holding state-issued cards, and only for medical purposes, can be subject to federal regulation pursuant to the Commerce Clause. For that reason, Plaintiffs preserve the issue for further Supreme Court review, if necessary and deemed appropriate.<br />We will keep you posted on all updates related to this groundbreaking lawsuit.  Archive of our interview with the lead attorneys in this case is available in our &#8220;Audio/Video&#8221; section on The NORML Network.<br />Click here to join NORML today and help us in the fight to legalize marijuana.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In California, anyone can get a recommendation that allows them to grow and possess marijuana legally. If the poor mom had paid one of the many pot-docs in the state $200, the cops would have had to leave her alone. Many people from outside of California don&#8217;t realize just how catholic the pot trade is here. Many don&#8217;t realize just how normal it is here. How everyone in certain parts of the state, little old ladies, librarians, cops, mayors, everyone grows pot and sells it. It&#8217;s just like any other crop. These now confused and frightened kids weren&#8217;t subject to a &#8220;toxic environment.&#8221; There were no skeazy pimp like characters visiting the home and brandishing foul language and firearms. They were experiencing nothing different than tens of thousands of other kids in the state, the only difference was their mom failed to buy the appropriate business license. It&#8217;s very easy in California, to forget that pot is considered a dangerous drug by many Americans. Of course, many Americans consider &#8220;American Idol&#8221; a worthwhile way to spend an evening.<br /><br />Back to the point at hand. For the millionth time: drug prohibition, and marijuana prohibition especially, ends up causing more harm that it prevents. These two little girls just had their lives fucked, and when they start acting out in fifteen years, it will be all of us that pay for it. Even if you really believe that Marijuana is a dangerous drug that really merits serious regulation &#8211; and if so, I&#8217;d really like to see your evidence that this is necessary or efficacious- it should be plain to see that taking these children away is a counterproductive move. Prohibition is not just wrong, it&#8217;s fucking stupid.<br /><br />The cop decided to search the vehicle, found marijuana, and now the children are being taken away by Child Protective Services.<br /><br />I know a lot of people are probably thinking, &#8220;Good!&#8221; No, not good. This was a good mother and her two little girls were happy, well cared for, doing well in school and certainly not in any danger because Mom was moving some pot. Now, they will be taken from her, placed into foster care and have to deal with the fact that people they have never met before are keeping them away from the mother they love for reasons they cannot understand. Oh, and for those that are always worried about &#8220;costs to the taxpayer&#8221;, which option do you think is going to cost you more? The years of social services interventions to help these now traumatized kids grow up, or letting them stay with a loving mother who would have supported and protected them?<br /><br />The Mom&#8217;s only real failure was being a stupid pot broker.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/371371/thumbs/r-HOUSE-BILL-US-DRUG-POLICY-large570.jpg" alt="" class="parsed_image" /><br /><br />The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill yesterday that would make it a federal crime for U.S. residents to discuss or plan activities on foreign soil that, if carried out in the U.S., would violate the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) -- even if the planned activities are legal in the countries where they're carried out. The new law, sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) allows prosecutors to bring conspiracy charges against anyone who discusses, plans or advises someone else to engage in any activity that violates the CSA, the massive federal law that prohibits drugs like marijuana and strictly regulates prescription medication.<br /><br />"Under this bill, if a young couple plans a wedding in Amsterdam, and as part of the wedding, they plan to buy the bridal party some marijuana, they would be subject to prosecution," said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for reforming the country's drug laws. "The strange thing is that the purchase of and smoking the marijuana while you're there wouldn't be illegal. But this law would make planning the wedding from the U.S. a federal crime."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/06/us-drug-policy-war-congress_n_998993.html?ref=mostpopular" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Read More about this here</a>]]></content:encoded>

I would rather see thousands of "potheads" with guns than alcoholics.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[So netflix was a great value you got to stream movies off the internet and you were able to get movies that were newer to be sent to your mail box. Now they have split the service giving you netflix with old movies with recent releases from the 90's and a higher price. The DVD system would make up for the lack of new content. Now they have launched a new service called Qwikster which they plan to have you log-in to two different systems which sucks, and might confuse some people. They have made an easy to use program a complex and more expensive solution. You can see people are not liking the change there stock is down and I hope it stays down.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on this change?]]></content:encoded>
