Google's Hushed Medical Marijuana Involvement
Just last week, Michigan Compassion, a company that bonds growers with patients to set up a medical marijuana association, expected $120,000 in Google advertising services. Consequently, the company will, preliminary next month, be able to endorse its offerings via Google's renowned AdWords policy, significance its results will be served up beside normal offerings when pertinent keywords are searched on Google.
In exacting, Michigan consideration is hoping to draw the attention of those searching for in rank related to chemotherapy. Nausea due to that process is widespread, and medical marijuana can ease that.
The Huffington Post quotes vice president of Michigan Compassion Amish Parikh:
"The goal is to link the negative effects of chemotherapy and the positive effects of cannabis."
Now, this is surely small modifying for Google, whose company's contributions wing is reliable for the push. AdWords supposedly brings the company some $40 billion or more in annual revenues, so as long as $120,000 this way isn't a big deal.
What is a big deal is Google wholeheartedly throwing its considerable weight behind the embryonic medical marijuana association. Gradually, and in fits and starts, we're seeing the association of the different nodes of the network that a modern business sector needs to succeed.
We've already seen companies like Privateer Holdings develop ways to sidestep the difficulty of finding asset capital in the marijuana sector due to the federal administration's behind-the-times attitude toward marijuana. And even Google had long been opposed to supporting advertising involving marijuana.
It's possible to argue that Michigan Compassion gets a pass because it isn't directly related to growing the drug, but that's a fragile dispute. It's much more likely Google's changed deportment reflects Silicon Valley's growing support for the medical marijuana sector.
Even more fascinatingly, Google noted that the marijuana-friendly search results would only show up in states that already support medical marijuana. That would include 19 states and D.C., but it's very likely more states will join the list in short order.
The Huffington Post report suggests that even LinkedIn, the professional networking company, has offered its services to Michigan Compassion, which will undoubtedly help make its services more visible.
The funding for Michigan Compassion came via the Google Grants program, a non-profit version of AdWords. It allows participating non-profit organizations to spend up to $10,000 a month on AdWords promotions, reports Search Engine Watch.

Czech pharmacies start advertising medical marijuana

The prescription-only drug officially became legal on Monday, but was almost engaged as most pharmacies across the ex-communist European Union state of 10.5 million were closed over to the Easter long weekend. Prague will first import the drug for about a year, reportedly from Israel or the Netherlands, until the State Institute for Drug Control starts issuing licenses to local growers for a utmost of five years.

The institute will also determine the crop area and organise tenders for marijuana purchases from farmers. An EU member since in 2004, the Czech Republic provides some of the most liberal access to soft drugs in Europe.
People holding up to 15 grammes (0.53 ounces) of marijuana or growing up to five plants of cannabis risk just a small fine an approach that often attracts smokers from other countries such as neighbouring Poland, where tougher laws apply. A 2011 national report on narcotics said 16.1 percent of Czechs aged 15-34 admitted to having used marijuana in that year, down from 20.3 percent a year earlier.

Ex- KFC Turned Into Medical Marijuana Dispensary
The West Los Angeles storefront has kept the iconic devise integral, mission itself "KFC" or "Kind For Cures"

Definite, they can't use the logo, but they determined to scrounge from the ellipsis, reduction their name to 'KFC.' And while they don't sell chicken, they do sell U2 Kush, Blackberry Kush, K.F.C. Og, Diamond OG, South Park Kush, Bitchin' Blue Dream, Green Crack, Maui Wowie, Sour Diesel, Swedish Delight, Dutch Treat, Kali Mist, Sour Candy, Woody Og, Blueberry Pie, Lemon Skunk, Super Silver Haze, Ruby Doobie, among other pleasingly named strains of cannabis.
True to its antecedent, KFC also offers some edibles. You can order snacks like 'Royal Highness' pretzels and a 'Blackout' brownie, but it does seem like a missed chance to not put some kind of a THC spin on the chicken chain's chocolate chip cake.
And as Steven Heller writes for Print, the co-branding needn't end there. According to Heller:
'The wrapping potential is vast. Instead of the honored Colonel Sanders, perchance a Captain Cheech would be sufficient. As an alternative of 12g bags they could have 10 g, 30 1/8, 60 1/4 g buckets.'

Humboldt State University launches marijuana research institute
Humboldt may be the first to instigate an institution purely for the study of pot. And according to economist Erick Eschker, the institute's co-chair, who studies the link between marijuana production and employment in the county, it makes perfect sense.
'If anyone is going to have a marijuana institute, it really should be Humboldt State,' Eschker told the Eureka Times-Standard. 'It has the potential to be a world-class institute, and we're just getting going.'
The Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research, as it is officially called, will sponsor lectures and have 11 faculty members from fields ranging from economics to psychology and sociology coordinating their research on the drug, according to the Associated Press.
'They finally tapped into something that's a big local concern and part of the identity here,' politics professor Jason Plume, who hosts a talk on marijuana regulatory reform, told the Times-Standard.
The institute's founding is particularly timely, as voters in Colorado and Washington recently passed legislation to legalize marijuana, something that California has yet to do.

Hoard of 2,700 years old marijuana found
In previous years, those unbelievers of the mind-altering use of hemp in prehistory have avowed that it was only used to make string, fabric and so forth, but they cannot get away with that now. This example was clearly “cultured for psychoactive purposes”, a deed in the peer-reviewed Publication of Experimental Botany declares. “To our information, these studies offer the initial certification of cannabis as a pharmacologically effectual broker,” had written the paper’s cause writer, United States professional Dr Ethan B Russo. It could not be recognized whether the pot was used or inspired, because there were no pipe joints or other clues. Perhaps the main factor of this discovers is that the marijuana was disclosed in the grave of a light-haired, blue-eyed White man, not an Asiatic personage. He would have been a contributor of the somewhat inquisitive Cheshi team, a group of roaming individuals of Indo-European origin who populated the area. The grave also included bridles, archery devices and a harp, verifying the 45-year-old person's great position.
The scientists consider he had been a shaman. Another enthralling problem regarding this situation is that a British Lab that watches quality of crop for generating Sativex (a pot-based medication accepted in Canada) was used to perform the test on the marijuana find, but it took several weeks to cut through the red record effecting the access of the example into Britain from Chinese suppliers – an ideal cameo showing how unusual our new European behavior to mind-altering medication are in contrast to our forefathers. It is now verified that our politicians who constantly declare that more assessments on marijuana are needed, and require on categorizing it as a risky medication, are not only going against the suggestions of their own sections of professionals but also the lengthy testimony of record. Herbalism is also known as Herbal medicine which is the study and use of plant’s medical properties. Plants have the capability to produce a large number of chemical substances that are used to do significant biological action, and to protect against predators attack such as fungi, insects and herbivorous mammals. Many of these chemical substances have useful effects on human health when used by them, and can be used to treat human diseases.

First Medical Marijuana Dispensary in NJ
New Jersey's first medical marijuana dispensary has been cleared to begin selling the drug to patients who register with the state Department of Health.After weeks of setbacks, Greenleaf Compassion Center received a permit Monday to open for business in a former drug paraphernalia shop in Montclair, Essex County. The nonprofit organization will be allowed to offer only strains with reduced potency.
Health Commissioner Mary O'Dowd said Greenleaf had passed its final inspections, but could not say when the dispensary would open for business. Asked if it would do so before the end of the year, she said: "I would expect that."In August, when patients could begin signing up, O'Dowd had anticipated that Greenleaf would start dispensing marijuana in September. On Monday, she would say only that Greenleaf would open when it was ready.
Greenleaf chief executive Joe Stevens and his partner, Julio Valentin Jr., did not return calls seeking comment.In August, Stevens also said he expected an early-September launch, but later explained that Montclair officials had told him it would take a few weeks to issue a certificate of occupancy after the building was renovated. He also said he did not know the Health Department would require laboratory testing of the marijuana before granting final approval.
O'Dowd said photo ID cards would be mailed to the 190 patients who registered with the Health Department after their doctors certified that they had medical conditions that can be alleviated by marijuana. An additional 130 patients are still going through the registration. More than a year ago five other nonprofit companies received preliminary approval to open dispensaries, but they have been stymied by the lengthy process.
New Jersey is one of 17 states to allow medical marijuana despite a federal ban on the use of the substance. Federal officials have told the states they will not enforce the ban if marijuana is dispensed only to sick people and if state regulations are obeyed. O'Dowd said her agency wanted to make sure New Jersey's program could withstand legal challenges and had taken the time to put together regulations to protect the public as well as patients. One of the challenges in implementing the program, she said, is that "the federal government views this as an illegal product."
Some dispensary owners and patients believe the state has been overly cautious and restrictive, causing patients to needlessly suffer. Compassionate Care Foundation, one of the two nonprofits that plan to open a dispensary in South Jersey, has had to push back its estimated opening date many times in the last year because of problems getting local and state approvals. Its principal officers have had to undergo more than eight months of background checks, including extensive scrutiny of their finances.
William J. Thomas, the dispensary's chief executive, said last month that his company might be forced to abandon its plans if the background checks are not finalized soon. O'Dowd said Monday those checks had not been completed. Thomas did not return a call and e-mail seeking comment.
Patients also have been getting anxious, especially those who paid the state's $200 registration fee in August and were expecting to receive their medicine last month. "As each day passes, there's someone new who is suffering and someone new at risk of being prosecuted for self-medicating" by purchasing marijuana on the black market, said Rich Caporusso, a Medford man who was among the first patients to register.
He has Crohn's disease. He said his doctor believes his pain can be controlled by marijuana without the side effects of stronger drugs. In April, he sued the Health Department, saying it was stalling and ignoring patients' pain.
The medical marijuana law that then-Gov. Jon S. Corzine signed in January 2010 was supposed to be implemented that summer. But when Gov. Christie took office a few weeks after the signing, he wanted a full review of its provisions and also assurances from the federal government that there would be no prosecution.
The Health Department also took months to craft stringent regulations to limit the drug to patients with terminal illnesses, multiple sclerosis, and other serious ailments. Jay Lassiter, an AIDS/HIV patient from Cherry Hill, said the Health Department's announcement was "wonderful news." He said he hoped there were no more snags.
He said the news was bittersweet because it came too late for Diane Riportella, a friend and patient activist who had testified at hearings, urging the Health Department to stop the delays in implementing the program. She died last month of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). "She should have been first in line," Lassiter said.

Medical Marijuana Rally Against U.S. President
Ten years ago, when Steph Sherer started using medicinal marijuana as a way to cope with the chronic pain caused by a neck injury, she didnt know shed be at the forefront of a movement that would spread throughout the United States to the one million patients who use cannabis to help treat serious illnesses, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS.
"Two days without an anti-inflammatory medicine, my body starts to stiffen up, and after about three days I cant get out of bed. So, that could be my life; that is one choice," Sherer said. "Or the second thing is I could take the 2400 mg of ibuprofen each day that are required for me to be able to move, and then my kidneys would begin to shut down again."
Instead, Sherer, 36, began using medical marijuana to deal with her pain and became an activist on the issue by creating the nonprofit organization Americans for Safe Access (ASA), which protects patients rights to safely and legally access marijuana throughout the U.S.
ASA started in 2002, and since then it has helped create and get legislation passed on the local and state level and is an advocate for patients rights in 17 states and Washington, DC where medical marijuana is now legal.
On Thursday ASA held rallies in at least 15 cities across the U.S. at local campaign headquarters for U.S. President Barack Obama, protesting what they call, a nationwide crackdown on medical marijuana facilities.
"There have been more raids under Obama in three-and-a-half years than eight years of Bush," Sherer said, during the rally in Washington, DC.
Proponents of medical marijuana say they are also upset with Obama, because of comments he made while campaigning in 2008. He said that state and local governments should be the prevailing bodies to handle regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries and not the federal government, explained David Bienenstock, west coast editor of High Times and High Times Medical Marijuana.
"No one in the medical marijuana community expected him to lead on this issue, but we expected him to keep a common sense promise," he said.
In an interview a few months ago, Obama addressed the issue of the recent offensive on dispensaries and his earlier statement in 2008, where he said the U.S. Department of Justice should not "try to circumvent state laws (on medical marijuana)."
"What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana," Obama said in an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year. "I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana-and the reason is, because its against federal law."
But, Bienenstock said the federal government has been intervening on the local and state level and shutting down some medical marijuana dispensaries in different parts of the country, as well as making it difficult for others to rent a facility for their cannabis business. This, in turn, makes it impossible for some patients to receive the medicinal marijuana they need and forces many to go to the black market to obtain it, according to Bienenstock.
"A lot of people in the medical marijuana community feel very betrayed by these enforcement actions," Bienenstock said. "If you have a senior citizen with a debilitating condition, and you are now asking that person to go out on the street to get their medicine, it just has a terrible effect on them. How is a 79-year-old going to go out and buy pot for pain problems?"
"This issue has not really come up in our presidential race right now, and Obama has the luxury of running against someone who is against marijuana," said Bienenstock, referring to Republican Mitt Romney. "I dont think he (Obama) has realized that there is a political cost to disenfranchising so many people and going back on his word."

Legal Marijuana In Federal Custody
Ronnie Chang Is A Legal Medical Cannabis Patient In Federal Custody
Court Support requested for Ronnie Chang. Ronnie, a state legal medical cannabis patient, is in federal custody and his attorney, Michael J. McCabe is fighting to modify terms of his release so Ronnie may return to caring for his elderly mother. McCabe has enjoyed several victories in state court for medical cannabis patients Eugene Davidovich and most recently, Dexter Padilla.
Ronnie Chang had been arrested following the raid of Club One Collective/Extreme Holistic Care in San Marcos but was able to post bail. Then the bond was pulled due to a mysterious audit of the bond company which uncovered the unsecured bond. In June, the bondsman was forced to take Ronnie into custody because of the unsecured nature of the bond. The U.S. prosecution, Paul Satarita, denied knowledge of the audit but continues to pressure for a plea.
On July 30th, a motion to modify Ronnie's pretrial release was denied by Judge Michael M. Anello without prejudice because of the pulled bond. Anello then gave the defense two weeks to secure the bond with collateral.
Defendant and client will be back in court to disclose whether they have been able to satisfy collateral for the 200,000 dollar bond.
WHAT: Chang Motion to Modify Terms of Pretrial Release
WHEN: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 2:00PM
WHERE: Dept. 5, on the 3rd Flr. of the San Diego Federal Courthouse, 940 Front St. at Broadway, San Diego, CA, 92101
Later, in September, Ronnie Chang and his co-defendants James Brand, Gary Maddox, Hal Pilotte, Peter Suhan and Amanda Ventura (allegedly connected to Club One Collective/ Extreme Holistic Care) will also be in court with their attorneys Michael McCabe, Paul Turner, Knut Johnson, James Dicks and Mark Bluemel, this time to argue motions challenging the legality of the wire tap used in this case.
The illegal wire tap hearing is scheduled for September 10th, 2012 also in Department 5 of the San Diego Federal Court Building at 940 Front Street, at Broadway, San Diego, CA 92101.

Medical Marijuana and Michael Jackson
If Micheal Jackson had taken Marijuana would he still be Alive?
It now appears highly likely that powerful drugs that Michael Jackson’s doctor(s) had given him were a huge contributing factor towards his death. Now the LA police are investigating whether Michael Jackson’s doctor(s) have a case to answer.
Rest in peace Michael, you are a fabulous entertainer.
One of Michael’s main problems was that he found it difficult to get a full 8 hours of sleep each night, due to insomnia. Getting a proper night’s sleep is important to maintain a healthy body and mind.
He lived in California, where medical marijuana is legal. But I think problem is that many doctors do not think about prescribing medical marijuana for someone who is having trouble sleeping, suffering from stress or depression. Michael was having trouble sleeping, depressed at times and was likely to be stressed considering he was about to perform at 50 sold out concerts in London.
The first thing that probably comes to doctors minds is to prescribe traditional medication. Unfortunately prescription medication is often more damaging on patients health, when compared to marijuana. Especially when cooking with marijuana or using a vaporizer.
They may think that Marijuana is not an effective treatment, perhaps medical marijuana could be the answer.
Many people suffer from insomnia and lack of sleep can cause huge health problems, especially for those who have a busy, stressful life.
Heath Ledger had insomnia, which led him to take an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, he never awoke from his sleep.
Also I know firsthand that my uncle had trouble sleeping which contributed towards his mental health problems. In the end it appears he died from a heart attack caused by stress, mental illness and the medication.
Several months before he died, he asked me to get him some marijuana as he had trouble sleeping and was concerned that the prescription medication was doing too much damage to his health.
He smoked one bong and within minutes he said he felt sleepy and asked if I could leave as he wanted to go to bed. Later he told me that he had a wonderful night’s sleep.
I think the problem is that he did not continue to use the marijuana; it was probably too much for him to handle with the heavy prescription, sleeping medication he was taking.

Star of the famous comedy group Cheech and Chong, 74-year-old Tommy Chong has fought for medical marijuana rights for decades. Now the humorist sadly has one more reason to continue fighting for the legalization of medical cannabis, he has been diagnosed with stage one prostate cancer.
"I've got prostate cancer, and I'm treating it with hemp oil, and with cannabis. So legalizing medical marijuana means more to me than just being able to smoke a joint without being arrested," he said.
In an interview with CNN Chong said he will be ingesting the cannabis oil because he no longer smokes marijuana. He also added he will be using it at night so he wouldn't be "Woozy" during the day.
During the three years he was of "Drugs", Chong began noticing health problems. "I knew it had nothing to do with cannabis. Cannabis is a cure."
