Kennedy: "The world is changing. The old ways will not do." For a few hours the other day, I was starting to think he really meant it.<br /><br />On Thursday, The Washington Times reported that in 2004, as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, Obama came out for decriminalizing marijuana use. That usually means eliminating jail sentences and arrest records for anyone caught with a small amount for personal use, treating it more like a traffic offense than a violent crime. But in a show of hands at a debate last fall, he indicated that he opposed the idea.<br /><br />When confronted on the issue by the Times, however, the senator defended his original ground. His campaign said he has "always" supported decriminalization. It's a brave position, and therefore exceedingly rare among practicing politicians. Which may be why it didn't last. Before the day was over, the Obama campaign issued a statement saying he thinks "we are sending far too many first-time non-violent drug users to prison for very long periods of time" but "does not believe that we should treat offenses involving marijuana with a simple fine or just by confiscating the drug." Recently, he had told a New Hampshire newspaper, "I'm not in favor of decriminalization."<br /><br />This episode reveals that as a candidate, Obama is more fond of bold rhetoric than bold policies. But it also proves the impossibility of talking sense on the subject of illicit drugs during a political campaign. That course of action would mean admitting the inadmissible: that the prohibition of cannabis has been cruel, wasteful and fraudulent.<br /><br />Cruel because it leads to the arrest of nearly 700,000 people a year for mere possession of a substance that is comparatively benign. Wasteful because it expends billions of dollars in police, court and correctional resources that could be deployed against dangerous predators. Fraudulent because it hasn't solved anything: According to the federal government, nearly 100 million Americans have tried the stuff.<br /><br />But in the political realm, a strangely disjointed view of drugs prevails. Past use is forgivable. Both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton admitted to smoking marijuana, as did Al Gore and John Kerry. Obama has admitted doing the same.<br /><br />At the same time, no major party presidential nominee has advocated decriminalization (much less legalization) since Jimmy Carter did so in 1976. It would be considered political suicide. So we are now in a bizarre position: A candidate who spent his college days flouting our marijuana laws can be elected president, but an abstemious, button-downed candidate who proposes to change those laws has no hope.<br /><br />Had we enforced our statutes more vigorously, of course, Bush, and many other officials would never have been elected anything, because they would be ex-convicts. Yet they are happy to put people behind bars for crimes they themselves committed.<br /><br />One alternative to that approach is decriminalization, which is not exactly radical or untried. It's already the norm in 12 states—not just California and New York, but places like Mississippi, Ohio and Nebraska. About one of every three Americans lives in a state or city where pot users typically don't go to jail.<br /><br />Despite this lenient approach, Omaha and Cincinnati still would never be mistaken for Jamaica. One thing we know is that criminal penalties have little if any effect on the number of stoners. States that have decriminalized cannabis are largely indistinguishable from states that have not.<br /><br />A 1999 report by the National Academy of Sciences found "little evidence that decriminalization of marijuana use necessarily leads to a substantial increase in marijuana use." Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron surveyed the available data from here and abroad and agreed: "Existing evidence provides no indication that marijuana decriminalization causes increased marijuana use."<br /><br />This discovery should not be surprising. Cigarettes and beer are both legally available, but smoking and drinking have been declining for years. Freedom is not incompatible with enlightened self-restraint. In fact, it seems to foster it.<br /><br />Politicians normally can't say such things. But near the end of his administration, Bill Clinton confided to Rolling Stone magazine that he thought marijuana should be decriminalized. Maybe, eight years from now, Obama will do likewise.Dr. Ingleweedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757335932191868223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263337154306891080.post-79237185443575429512007-12-16T13:34:00.000-08:002007-12-16T13:36:47.910-08:00NEW RULES, NEW LAWS FOR NEW MEXICOProposed rules for medical marijuana providers could open the door to private nonprofit or for-profit producers in New Mexico. <br /><br />Since the state's medical marijuana registry was created July 1, patients have had three ways to obtain marijuana: by growing it themselves; by contracting with "designated caregivers," who grow or otherwise obtain the plant and are each allowed to provide doses of the herb to at most four patients; or by buying it off the street. While street drugs have high, black-market prices, the designated caregivers are not allowed to charge patients any more than the cost of "supplies or utilities associated with the possession of medical use marijuana." <br /><br />The proposed rules could open the field of providers to private entities that would establish licit market pricing, raising concerns of a capitalistic free-for-all similar to the market in California, where 300 "pot clubs" offer a marijuana-connoisseur's delight of exotic varieties, often at prices beyond the means of needy patients. While only nonprofit operations are protected by California law, some clubs are reputed to be making millions. <br /><br />"California's gotten really out of control," said Melissa Milam, coordinator of New Mexico's medical cannabis program. One bulwark against this distopian future is the much tighter restriction on conditions that can qualify a patient for a medical marijuana card. In California, a doctor can prescribe marijuana for anyone he believes will be helped by it. In New Mexico, only patients suffering pain as a result of one of seven conditions can qualify, short of a special petition to a medical advisory board. The board will look at proposals for additions to the list every six months. <br /><br />"It will be important for published studies to show marijuana is beneficial for that specific condition," Milam said. <br /><br />In the first five months of the program, 74 applicants were approved. "All the marijuana we could need right now could be grown on a quarter of an acre," Milam said. That doesn't sound like the makings of a multimillion-dollar industry, but Milam said interest from potential providers has been intense. <br /><br />"I've heard from everyone from multimillion-dollar companies to very small ones," Milam said. "I've heard from out-of-state companies, from landscaping businesses and nurseries." <br /><br />The final hammering out of the rules after a Jan. 14 public meeting might be all that stands between them and going into operation -- if they decide it will become a market worth investing in, and if they are willing to toe the line of the state's requirements for private providers.Those rules would require big investments in security, including high-resolution video of entry and exit areas, an alarm system, a bulletproof pass-through window, a time-lock safe, overnight lighting and staffing. <br /><br />In addition to the business challenges facing a potential investor in marijuana production, the specter of federal prosecution remains very real. According to a March 22 report in the San Francisco Chronicle, "Perils grow in battle for medical pot," the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration arrested 594 people on marijuana charges in California in 2006, up from 359 in 2001. They seized 3 million plants in 2006, up from 880,000 in 2001. The article went on to call enforcement of the federal marijuana laws "notably erratic."Dr. Ingleweedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757335932191868223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263337154306891080.post-46396547130361561132007-12-16T13:16:00.000-08:002007-12-16T13:34:53.139-08:00GIFT IDEAS FOR CANNABIS LOVERS PT. 2<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vJ09j22yDgU/R2WXAINsbnI/AAAAAAAAAEU/2EGV8Rm0pgw/s1600-h/juicy_jays_paper_cookie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vJ09j22yDgU/R2WXAINsbnI/AAAAAAAAAEU/2EGV8Rm0pgw/s400/juicy_jays_paper_cookie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144684177801375346" /></a><br /><br />Dr. Ingleweed gives a personal recomendation.

But the risks of smoking pot are clear. Examine the facts about marijuana before making your decision.<br />People have used marijuana as a medical treatment for thousands of years. Such uses extend even to modern America. Marijuana was listed by the U.S. Pharmacopeia, the organization that sets quality standards for approved drugs in the United States, until the 1940s, when political pressure against marijuana's recreational use triggered its removal.<br /><br />Despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that state laws allowing medicinal use of marijuana must bow to federal law banning it, proponents still tout this controversial plant's ability to treat pain, nausea and other uncomfortable side effects of medical treatment as well as some disease symptoms.<br /><br />Marijuana 101: The plant and its components<br />Marijuana refers to the dried flowers, leaves, stems and seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. These parts contain the compounds that produce the mind-altering effect that recreational users seek when smoking or ingesting the plant — but they also provide components with potential medical benefits.<br /><br />Marijuana contains at least 60 chemicals called cannabinoids. Researchers are evaluating how effective some of these cannabinoids might be in controlling symptoms of certain medical conditions. For example:<br /><br />THC. An abbreviation for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, THC is the main component responsible for marijuana's mind-altering effect. It also may help treat signs and symptoms such as nausea and vomiting that are associated with a number of medical conditions. <br />Cannabinol and cannabidiol. These compounds have some of the properties of THC, but cause less psychoactive effects — the high. <br />Dronabinol (Marinol). Dronabinol (dro-NAB-in-ol) is a man-made version of THC available by prescription. It's used to prevent nausea and vomiting after cancer chemotherapy when other medicines for these side effects don't work, and to increase appetite in people with AIDS. <br />How it works<br />When smoked or ingested, THC and other cannabinoids in marijuana attach to two types of receptors on cells in your body — like keys in a lock — affecting the cells, once attached.<br /><br />CB1 is one such receptor. CB1 receptors are found mainly in your brain, especially in areas that control body movement, memory and vomiting. This helps explain why marijuana use affects balance and coordination and impairs short-term memory and learning, and why it can be useful in treating nausea, pain and loss of appetite.<br /><br />The other type of receptor, CB2, is found in small numbers elsewhere in your body, mainly in tissue of the immune system, such as your spleen and lymph nodes. The function of these receptors is not well understood. They may serve as brakes on immune system function, which may help explain why marijuana suppresses your immune system.<br /><br />After you smoke marijuana, its ingredients reach their peak levels in your body within minutes, and effects can last up to an hour and a half. When eaten — the plant is sometimes mixed with food — the ingredients can take several hours to reach their peak levels in your body, and their effects may last for hours.<br /><br />The prescription drug dronabinol, which is taken as an oral capsule, takes effect in about 30 minutes and can continue to stimulate appetite for more than a day.<br /><br />Possible medical uses<br />Scientists studying marijuana's potential medical uses have found that it may help treat a variety of conditions.<br /><br />Nausea<br />One of THC's medical uses best supported by research is the treatment of nausea. It can improve mild to moderate nausea caused by cancer chemotherapy and help reduce nausea and weight loss in people with AIDS.<br /><br />Younger people may find marijuana more useful as a treatment for nausea than do older people — who may not tolerate its mind-altering side effects as well. The prescription form, dronabinol, also may produce psychological side effects that make it inappropriate for some older people. Doctors generally prescribe several kinds of newer anti-nausea drugs with fewer side effects before resorting to dronabinol.<br /><br />Glaucoma<br />This disease — the third-leading cause of blindness in the United States — is marked by increased pressure in the eyeball, which can lead to vision loss.<br /><br />In the early 1970s, scientists discovered that smoking marijuana reduced pressure in the eyes. Exactly how the cannabinoids in marijuana produce this effect isn't known. Scientists have discovered CB1 receptors in the eyes, which may provide clues for future research on how marijuana affects glaucoma.<br /><br />Your doctor can prescribe other medications to treat glaucoma, but these can lose their effectiveness over time. Researchers are working to develop medications containing cannabinoids that can be put directly on the eyes — to avoid the mind-altering side effects and other health consequences of smoking the plant.<br /><br />Pain<br />People widely used marijuana for pain relief in the 1800s, and several studies have found that cannabinoids have analgesic effects. In fact, THC may work as well in treating cancer pain as codeine, a mild pain reliever. Cannabinoids also appear to enhance the effects of opiate pain medications to provide pain relief at lower dosages.<br /><br />Researchers currently are developing new medications based on cannabis to treat pain.<br /><br />Multiple sclerosis<br />Research results on the effectiveness of cannabinoids in the treatment of the tremors, muscle spasms and pain of multiple sclerosis (MS) — a disease of the nervous system that can cause muscle pain — are mixed. A 2003 study found that cannabinoids significantly reduced pain in people with multiple sclerosis.<br /><br />Some scientists feel that more research may show cannabinoids useful in treating MS. Marijuana may protect nerves from the kind of damage that occurs during the disease. They also suggest that animal study results, knowledge of CB1 receptors in the brain and users' reports of decreased symptoms after using marijuana support this possibility. However, others advise caution in using marijuana to treat MS, given the modest therapeutic effects cannabinoids have demonstrated so far and the potential of long-term adverse side effects.<br /><br /><br />MORE ON THIS TOPIC<br />HIV/AIDS <br />Chemotherapy nausea and vomiting: Prevention is best defense <br />Glaucoma <br />Multiple sclerosis <br /><br />Not without risks<br />Though some doctors and patients suggest marijuana has a legitimate use, the United States government disagrees. Federal law recognizes marijuana as a Schedule I drug, which classifies it as one of "the most dangerous drugs that have no recognized medical use." If law-enforcement officers find you with the drug in your possession, the penalty can range from a small fine to a prison sentence.<br /><br />Along with the legal implications, smoking marijuana poses several health risks, including:<br /><br />Impairment of thinking, problem-solving skills and memory <br />Reduced balance and coordination <br />Increased risk of heart attack <br />Heightened risk of chronic cough and respiratory infections <br />Potential for hallucinations and withdrawal symptoms <br />Also, marijuana smoke contains 50 percent to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke and has the potential to cause cancer of the lungs and respiratory tract. Marijuana smoke is commonly inhaled deeper and held longer than is tobacco smoke, increasing the lungs' exposure to carcinogens.<br /><br />These risks should be taken into account when considering the use of marijuana for medical purposes. If you are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms or side effects of medical treatment, especially pain and nausea, talk to your doctor about all your options before trying marijuana.Dr. Ingleweedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757335932191868223noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263337154306891080.post-33810162067411412702007-11-27T11:29:00.000-08:002007-11-27T16:34:47.194-08:00Sponge Bong Hemp Pants<embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/224484/spongebong_hemppants.swf" width="400" height="345" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </embed><br><font size = 1><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/224484/spongebong_hemppants/">Spongebong Hemppants</a> - <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/">Click here for funny video clips</a></font><br /><br />Check This Out Spong Bob Hemp Pants!!!Dr. Ingleweedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757335932191868223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263337154306891080.post-53280060463852270002007-11-11T16:32:00.000-08:002007-11-11T16:54:53.318-08:00'Marijuana is not a drug...it's a leaf'<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=490333&in_page_id=1773"><img alt="Home" src="http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/10/schwarzeneggerpa468x609mw5.jpg" /></a><br />Click the pic to check out the storyDr. Ingleweedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757335932191868223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263337154306891080.post-29592655521483762902007-11-11T15:58:00.000-08:002007-11-11T16:02:21.179-08:00Swiss kids and weed....<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,308258,00.html"><img alt="Home" src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1958/cannabisandyoungmindsji6.jpg" /></a><br />Researchers found that marijuana-only users had the following characteristics:<br /><br />— More likely to be male (71.6 percent marijuana smokers versus 59.7 percent of teens who used tobacco and marijuana)<br /><br />— Play sports (85.5 percent vs. 66.7 percent of tobacco and marijuana)<br /><br />— Live with both parents (78.2 percent vs. 68.3 percent of tobacco and marijuana)<br /><br />— Have good grades (77.5 percent vs. 66.6 percent of tobacco and marijuana)<br /><br />Cannabis-only smokers were also less likely to have been drunk in the past 30 days, less likely to use cannabis before the age of 15 and less likely to use marijuana more than once or twice in the past 30 days. They were also less likely to use other illegal drugs, compared to students who used both substances, researchers found.<br /><br />“The gateway theory hypothesizes that the use of legal drugs (tobacco and alcohol) is the previous step to cannabis consumption,” the authors wrote. “However, recent research also indicates that cannabis use may precede or be simultaneous to tobacco use and that, in fact, its use may reinforce cigarette smoking or lead to nicotine addiction independently of smoking status. In any case, and even though they do not seem to have great personal, family, or academic problems, the situation of those adolescents who use cannabis but who declare not using tobacco should not be trivialized.”<br /><br />In comparison to students who abstained from both substances, marijuana-only smokers were:<br /><br />— More likely to be male (71.6 percent cannabis users vs. 47.7 percent of teens who abstained)<br /><br />— Have a good relationship with friends (87 percent vs. 83.2 percent)<br /><br />— Be sensation-seeking (37.8 percent vs. 21.8 percent)<br /><br />— Play sports (85.5 percent vs. 76.6 percent)<br /><br />— Less likely to have a good relationship with their parents (74.1 percent vs. 82.4 percent)<br /><br />Click the pic to check out the whole story.Dr. Ingleweedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757335932191868223noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263337154306891080.post-25386673774041563642007-11-11T15:36:00.000-08:002007-11-11T16:11:59.564-08:00WEED & A.D.D.Do the math.....
