Czech pharmacies start advertising medical marijuana

Medical marijuana legally went on sale Tuesday in pharmacies athwart the Czech Republic for patients suffering from cancer, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or psoriasis. The new law does not predict health assurance treatment for marijuana, touted by some as a medical miracle drug.

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"

Kind For Cures is a medical marijuana dispensary in Southern California, which isn't precisely information in a state swimming with such organizations. But there is one thing that sets the business distant from its crop of challengers: They opened store in an evacuated Kentucky Fried Chicken storefront and reserved the franchises iconic devise integral.

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.'

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.

Today-More Herbs, Less Salt Day

More Herbs, Less Salt Day promotes use of healthy herbs over salts.

Late August is a very appropriate time to celebrate this special day. The harvest of garden herbs is at a peak. There's nothing better than fresh garden herbs in your favorite recipes.

In honor of this herby holiday, I wanted to share some ideas for replacing with herbs in your cooking. I am a firm believer that adding spicy heat is NOT a replacement for salt. Yes, spicy is good, but simply heating up my mouth to a fire temperature, not replace a good sea salt. A little bit of cayenne pepper can enhance flavors without heating up the whole dish. Use a light hand. Another flavor that enhances the natural salt taste in foods is lemon. Add some powdered lemon peel and powdered cayenne pepper to your salt free mixes. I found a super recipe using only herbs at About.com guide to Home Cooking. Peggy Trowbridge Filipone offers a tasty looking recipe for an herbal salt substitute. If you are interested in a no salt/low salt alternative, remember these tips:

• Add your salt before serving or at the table! No need to salt as you go, many diners will add their own salt before they even taste it. Which is another good reminder: TASTE your food first!
• Add naturally salty or salt enhancing tastes to your herb mixes. These include Dulse or other seaweeds, lemon and a bit of cayenne.
• Do give yourself a chance to learn to like salt free or low salt foods. Your taste buds get used to all that extra sodium, and need a chance to readjust.
• If you are looking for low salt, try one of the many sea salts and grind it on your foods. The taste is less salty and delicious!

Michigan Medical Marijuana Patients Fight Back With PSA

Michigan medical marijuana patients are in a fight for their lives.

Despite the fact that an overwhelming 63 percentof voters approved their medical marijuana law in 2008 -- winning Michigan medical marijuana patients are in a fight for their lives.
Despite the fact that an overwhelming 63 percent of voters approved their medical marijuana law in 2008 -- winning every county in the state -- lawmakers have unaccountably decided to ignore the will of the people who elected them.
Now circulating in the Michigan Legislature is badly written legislation which would, in effect, gut the law approved by the people four years ago. Things are so bad that activist Joe Cain, CEO of the National Medical Marijuana Association, is calling it the the "Last Stand of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act."
"The politicians are claiming that patients and caregivers have approved the bills," Cain told Toke of the Town on Wednesday. "Nothing could be farther from the truth."
"Patients opposed these bills in both chambers of the Legislature with their forceful and compassionate testimony," Cain told us. "The truth is these bills will make it much easier to identify and arrest the sick and their caregivers.
"The simple truth is the government has targeted the sick since the day the law passed," Cain said. "They have slandered, libeled, persecuted, arrested and thrown us in prison. They have played legal scrabble with the wording of the Act.
"Now they are poised to overthrow the will of the people to legalize the abuse that has heaped upon the innocent," Cain said. "We must defend ourselves or accept the warped justice of the Michigan Legislature."
"Everyone should assemble on the front steps of the Capitol building on September 19, 2012 at High Noon to oppose this tyranny," Cain said. "No matter how long the fight, we will stop them from hurting sick people!" Cain said.

Legal Marijuana In Federal Custody

Ronnie Chang Is A Legal Medical Cannabis Patient In Federal Custody

By Terrie Best, San Diego Americans for Safe Access Court Support Coordinator

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.

Is marijuana a medicine?

Evidence of the medical uses of marijuana comes in different varieties:

Molecular  Biology: A cannabinoid  revolution was sparked in the late eighties by the discovery that the  active ingredients of marijuana acted through a network of chemical receptors  localized in specific sites in the brain and immune system that became known as cannabinoid receptors. The natural cannabinoid manufactured and utilized  by the human body is called anadamide

Controlled clinical studies on the medical effects of marijuana are  being forbidden right now by the federal government (this link goes off-site),  so we have no firm evidence as to the safety and effectiveness of marijuana in  actual patients. Marijuana remains legally classified by the federal government  as a Schedule I narcotic, as useless and dangerous as heroin, so the policy of  the government impedes the very scientific research that could prove it false.

Reports by physicians: A survey of American oncologists published in  1990 revealed that 44% of those surveyed had advised cancer patients  to smoke marijuana for relief of nausea from chemotherapy and radiation  treatments. Cannabis was first reported as a medicine by a physician 5000 years  ago in an ancient Chinese apothecary, and this trend has been repeated by every  society in written history where cannabis was present. This includes America up  until 1937, when the first federal laws criminalizing marijuana were passed by  Congress over the loud objections of the American Medical Association.

Reports  by patients: Here are web sites containing testimonials from people using marijuana to treat  symptoms from cancer chemotheray, AIDS wasting syndrome and side effects of  AIDS medications, pain and muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis and other  serious illnesses:

1. Yes on Prop. 215 by Californians for Compassionate Use
2. Americans for Compassionate Use
3. Republicans for Prop. 215
4. Cancer Patient Doreen Bishop's Struggle for Medical Marijuana
5. An archive of articles and press clippings at the Hyperreal Drug Archive

New research shows medical marijuana's perils

Chemical compounds in marijuana can suppress the body's immune functions -- potentially speeding the growth of some cancers but possibly helping in the fight against arthritis, multiple sclerosis or allergies.

The good-news, bad-news findings were published in this month's European Journal of Immunology, based on a study led by University of South Carolina researcher Prakash Nagarkatti. An immunologist who has been exploring the potential of cannabis for eight years, Nagarkatti refers to the findings as "a double-edged sword."

Nagarkatti's earlier studies dealt mostly with marijuana's potential to treat leukemia. The latest report, at first glance, seems to contradict his earlier findings. But Nagarkatti says the seeming contradiction just emphasizes the complexities of both marijuana and cancer.

"Cancer is not one illness. It is a very wide range of illnesses," said Nagarkatti, the Carolina Distinguished Professor in the department of pathology, microbiology and immunology at the USC School of Medicine.

"And marijuana has over 400 different chemicals. It's such a complex plant that we don't know the impact of all of those chemicals." The latest study on lab mice opens avenues for more research on the subject. Nagarkatti hopes it'll lead to human clinical trials.

He also knows it will stir up the medicinal marijuana debate. "I'm getting a lot of e-mails from both sides already," he said. Many comments tacked onto early online reporting about the study blast Nagarkatti as anti-medicinal marijuana. Those commenting don't realize his earlier studies showed the promise of marijuana components, or that this study indicated as much positive and negative.

The research focused on cannabinoids, compounds found in the marijuana plant, and their impact on myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Research shows those cells suppress the immune system. Nagarkatti, along with co-authors Venkatesh Hegde and Mitzi Nagarkatti, found cannabinoids trigger creation of huge amounts of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in mice.

If the findings in mice are replicated in humans, doctors might re-think the use of the one FDA-approved, marijuana-derived drug -- Marinol -- to battle the nausea of chemotherapy and stimulate appetite in HIV-AIDS patients.

While reducing nausea, marijuana's cannabinoids might also speed death by suppressing the immune system critical to battling many forms of cancer and infections. Of course, since HIV-AIDS also destroys the immune system, the impact of marijuana on the system in those cases might be minimal.

Conversely, cannabinoids might be a new tool for doctors to treat arthritis and multiple sclerosis. In those auto-immune diseases, your immune system goes into overdrive, destroying healthy cells. By suppressing immune response, cannabinoids could lessen the severity of those diseases. It also could help people battle allergies and fight transplant rejection, Nagarkatti said.

While smoking medicinal marijuana has been legalized in some states, the only FDA-approved application of cannabinoids in the U.S. is Marinol. Nagarkatti is fascinated by the medical possibilities of marijuana cannabinoids, but he doesn't recommend self-prescribing its use. "It's a complex mixture of chemicals that's not something to be played with," Nagarkatti said.

Chemists realize cannabis 'pharma factory'

Cannabinoids are produced on the flowers of the female plant of Cannabis sativa in tiny hair-like structures called trichomes, the plant's own "chemical factories." University of Saskatchewan researchers have discovered the chemical pathway that Cannabis sativa uses to create bioactive compounds called cannabinoids, paving the way for the development of marijuana varieties to produce pharmaceuticals or cannabinoid-free industrial hemp. The research appears online in the July 16 early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Chemical Crystallography - Inexpensive bench top XRD system to determine small molecule structure - U of S adjunct professor of biology Jon Page explains that the pathway is an unusual one, involving a specialized version of one enzyme, called hexanoyl-CoA synthetase, and another enzyme, called olivetolic acid cyclase (OAC), that has never before been seen in plants. "What cannabis has done is take a rare fatty acid with a simple, six-carbon chain and use it as a building block to make something chemically complex and pharmacologically active,". Page led the research with PhD student Steve Gagne, who discovered OAC, and postdoctoral researcher Jake Stout, who discovered hexanoyl-CoA synthetase (reported earlier this year in The Plant Journal). Cannabis has been cultivated for thousands of years for food, fibre, medicine and as a psychoactive drug. Cannabinoids such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, are produced on the flowers of the female plant in tiny hair-like structures called trichomes, the plant's own "chemical factories."

The researchers used genomic analysis of isolated trichome cells to produce a catalog of the genes involved in cannabinoid production. Page and his colleagues have already used the new enzymes to coax yeast to produce olivetolic acid, a key metabolic intermediate on the biochemical pathway that leads to cannabinoids. "Now that we know the pathway, we could develop ways to produce cannabinoids with yeast or other microorganisms, which could be a valuable alternative to chemical synthesis for producing cannabinoids for the pharmaceutical industry,". There are more than 100 known cannabinoids, only a few of which have been explored for their possible medicinal uses. THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid, responsible for the "high" sought by recreational users, as well as medicinal effects such as pain relief, nausea suppression and appetite stimulation. More than 19,000 patients in Canada are authorized to legally use marijuana to benefit from these effects, and many others use cannabinoid-containing drugs via prescription. Another important cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD) has anti-anxiety and neuro-protective properties. Page explains that knowledge of the cannabinoid-making pathway could also make matters easier for Canadian farmers.

Plant breeders can now look for cannabis strains that lack key parts of the cannabinoid-making pathway, which would allow for zero-THC varieties (current Canadian regulations call for no more than 0.3 per cent THC for industrial hemp, compared to 15 per cent or higher in the more potent marijuana varieties). Although hemp cultivation in Canada dates back to the 1600s in Quebec, today industrial hemp is a niche crop, grown mostly on the Prairies. Its popularity fluctuates considerably, with about 15,700 hectares (39,000 acres) grown in 2011 according to statistics from Health Canada, which regulates the crop. While hemp is well-known as a fibre crop for everything from textiles, rope and paper, it is more often grown in Canada for its seed. Hemp seed, which is high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, is marketed for its healthy qualities. It is used in everything from lactose-free hemp milk, breakfast cereals, snack foods and protein supplements for athletes. Hemp oil is also used in cosmetic skin care products.

New Finds-Marijuana Relieves-Muscle Stiffness

The oral administration of cannabis extracts significantly reduces muscle stiffness in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to just published clinical trial data published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.

Investigators at the University of Plymouth, Clinical Neurology Research Group, in the United Kingdom assessed the use of cannabinoids versus placebo in 279 subjects with MS over a twelve-week period. Cannabis extracts in the study contained standardized doses of THC and cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive constituent in cannabis, contained in a soft, gelatin capsule.

Investigators reported that oral cannabis extracts were superior over placebo in the treatment of MS-associated muscle stiffness and pain.

Authors concluded: Treatment with standardized oral extract of cannabis sativa relieved muscle stiffness. The proportion of participants experiencing relief was almost twice as large in the cannabis extract group as in the placebo group. Effective pain relief is also achieved by cannabis extracts, especially in patients with a high baseline pain score. Our findings suggest that standardized cannabis extracts can be clinically useful in treating the highly complex phenomenon of spasticity in MS.

In May, clinical trial data published in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association reported that cannabis inhalation significantly mitigates spasticity and pain in patients with treatment-resistant multiple sclerosis.

Separate clinical trials assessing the administration of oral cannabis extracts on patients with MS have indicated that cannabinoids can alleviate symptoms of the disease long-term and may also act in ways to mitigate MS progression. Sativex, an oral spray containing plant cannabis extracts, is presently legal by prescription to treat MS-related symptoms in over a dozen countries, including Canada, Germany, Great Britain, New Zealand, and Spain. Nonetheless, the National MS Society of the United States shares little enthusiasm for cannabis as a potential treatment for multiple sclerosis, stating, Studies completed thus far have not provided convincing evidence that marijuana or its derivatives provide substantiated benefits for symptoms of MS.

Marijuana is a Health Entrance

Latest publication of Clint Werner shows the marijuana's role in this modern world

(SAN FRANCISCO)- MARIJUANA: GATEWAY TO HEALTH, In his book he stated, How Weed defends us from most cancers and Alzheimer's condition Disease, Clint Werner reveals the technology showing marijuana's several health advantages and the misconceptions go up in smoking.

"Clint Werner claims powerfully that the wellness advantages of weed far surpass its risks..."--ROBERT BAZELL, Primary Science and Health Reporter for NBC News

In this book he noticed that:

1. Marijuana's psychoactive component, the cannabinoids THC, has been effective in decreasing breasts cancers, uterus, pancreatic, and testes and higher amounts led to higher security and longer life.
2. THC caused a significant growth reduction of dangerous cancers by leading to the cells of cancer to die off.
3. THC has a amazing ability to avoid the creation of plaque related with Alzheimer's disease and using weed could avoid or slowly the growth of the illness.
4. Using weed can secure the brain by reducing inflammation and by stimulating the growth of healthy new brain cells.
5. The cannabinoids CBD can protect the health of diabetes patients and fight the spread of breast cancers cells.
6. There is a reduced development of lung cancer in the long-term marijuana smoker.
7. Marijuana went from holy plant to wicked weed.
8. Unreasonable regulation intended on worry and hope keeps many customers from benefitting from marijuana.

"Clint Werner claims powerfully that the health advantages of weed far surpass its risks. Much of the proof is initial. But it contributes up to a contact for expert, large-scale medical analysis to accessibility this historical and ever more well-known plant."

-Robert Bazell, writer Her-2: The Making of Herceptin, an Innovative Strategy to Breasts Cancer

"Brilliantly published, clear and understandable, brief summaries of present analysis at the starting of the rebirth of weed treatment. Buy it before you get old. Buy a copy for your doctor!"

Research on Medical Marijuana

University of California medical scientists lowered a component in peppers within the skin of weed those that smoke to see if pot could relieve serious pain. It could - at certain amounts.

They supervised sufferers with AIDS and HIV as they toked on joint parts or placebos to figure out whether weed could quell distressing suffering from nerve problems. It offered relief.

They examined a "Volcano Vaporizer" to see whether breathing in smoke free pot provided better, low-tar weed. It did
Over a number of years, California's ancient research in medicinal weed experiment introduced new technology to the controversy on marijuana's place in medication. State-funded research - priced at $8.7 thousand - found pot may offer wide benefits for pain from nerve damage, HIV, cerebral vascular problems and other circumstances.
California's well known Center for Healing Weed Analysis - recognized by the Legislature to answer the question, "Does weed have therapeutic value?" - has now all but finished USA's most complete research into the efficiency of pot.
After seven finished tests between 2002 and 2012, with five research released and two awaiting, Florida scientists say the study have shown pot does, in fact, have medical values.
"Every one of the studies revealed an advantage," said Dr. Igor Grant, a neuropsychiatries is the head for Medical Marijuana Research. "The unity of proof makes me assured there is a medical advantage here and there may be a market for weed."
Dr. Brian Abrams at UC San Francisco and Dr. Ronald Ellis at UC San Paul realized AIDS and HIV sufferers with nerve damage were healing themselves with weed to quell capturing discomfort from stimulating elements as harmless as taking a bed piece over their feet.
In individual scientific tests between 2002 and 2006, Abrams and Ellis found that sufferers contaminated with HIV got noticeable treatment from pot - even on top of prescribed suffering medicines.
In May, a released study by Jody Corey-Bloom, head of the Several Sclerosis center at UC San Paul, revealed that 30 sufferers using tobacco cigarettes weed got recognizable comfort from agonizing spasticity.
Through May, another analysis group led by UC Davis pain control doctor Dr. Barth Wilsey proved helpful to figure out whether cannabis could reduce suffering without getting people high.
Wilsey was amazed when analysis topics with pain from neurological system harm found the same comfort from weed tobacco with 3.5 % tetrahydracannabinol - the psychoactive component in pot - as from tobacco with 7 % THC. He requested a follow-up, in which sufferers taken in vaporized pot with even lesser amounts of THC or with psychoactive components produced.

Cannabis for Cancer -Gustin Reichbach

Few months ago, Brooklyn judge Gustin Reichbach had written an op-ed for the NY Times, showing his support for medicinal weed and details his three-and-a-half year battle with stage 3 pancreatic cancer, "My success has required an enormous price, including several weeks of chemotherapy, rays terrible and intense surgery... Consumed weed is the only medicine that gives me some relief from feeling sick, promotes my appetite, and makes it much simpler to get to sleep." Yesterday he passed in his home.

"Daily News Report is Reichbach is a vibrant, brave and questionable existence on the court for last 21 years;I'll keep in mind the creativeness and understanding that he had. He was an amazing guy" said by Barry Sheck, the head of the innocence Project.

Reichbach calling medicinal weed not a law-and-order issue; it is a healthcare and a individual privileges problem.

Being handled at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I am getting the overall standard of health care. But physicians cannot be predicted to do what the law prevents, even when they know it is in the best passions of their sufferers. When modern health care is recognized as an essential human and healthcare right, weed for healthcare use should be beyond controversy.

It is another terrible aporia on the globe of most cancers that the one drug that gives comfort without terrible adverse reactions continues to be categorized as a narcotic with no healing value.

Because criminalizing an effective healthcare strategy impacts the reasonable management of rights, I feel required to talk out as both a judge and a severe cancer patient struggling with a lethal condition. I implore the governor and the Legislature of New York, always regarded a head among states, to be a part of the ahead and gentle thinking of 16 other states and complete the medicinal weed expenses this year. Medical technology has not yet found a treat, but it is crude to refuse us entry to one material that has proven to improve our struggling.
