CANNABIS LESS HARMFUL THAN ASPIRIN, SAYS SCIENTIST.

Cannabis is a safer drug than aspirin and can be used long-term without serious side effects, says a book by a leading Oxford scientist.

The Science of Marijuana, by Dr Leslie Iversen of Oxford University's department of pharmacology, found many "myths" surrounding marijuana use, such as extreme addictiveness, or links with mental illness or infertility are not supported by science.

He also found cannabis is an inherently "safe drug" which does not lead to cancer, infertility, brain damage or mental illness. Legalisation of the drug for medical conditions should be considered, he says.

Dr Iversen's findings will increase pressure on the Government to reopen the debate about the decriminalisation of marijuana.

The author, a fellow of the prestigious Royal Society, found cannabis was far less toxic than other drugs and had "an impressive record" compared with heroin, cocaine or tobacco and alcohol.

His study showed that the active element of cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC ), which made users high, had a lot of potential as a safe drug to treat Aids patients and people suffering severe pain.

He also found "stoned" drivers were less dangerous and able to co-ordinate than people who were drunk. "By any standards, THC must be considered a very safe drug both acutely and on long-term exposure," he writes. "The available animal data are more than adequate to justify its approval as a human medicine, and indeed it has been approved by the FDA [American drug authority] for certain limited therapeutic indications."

The book says "alarming claims about the harmful effects of long-term exposure to cannabis" should be "put to rest", and there "is no evidence the drug causes any impairment in fertility or sexual function in men or women". He says people who stop using cannabis do not suffer long-term side-effects.

"Cannabis does not cause structural damage to the brains of animals as some reports had claimed, nor is there evidence of long-term damage to the human brain or other than slight residual impairments in cognitive function after drug use is stopped." The author says many adverse effects of cannabis are related to smoking the drug.

But cannabis itself did not appear to cause cancer. Compared with alcohol and cigarettes, which led to more than 100,000 deaths a year, cannabis had a far better record.

"Tetrahydrocannabinol is a very safe drug," he said. "Despite the widespread illicit use of cannabis here are very few if any instances of people dying from an overdose. Even such apparently innocuous medicines as aspirin and related steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds are not safe.

"Thousands of people die every year because of the tendency of these drugs to cause catastrophic gastric bleeding."

A man arrested on suspicion of drug charges and child endangerment said he is concerned with the actions of police who shot two dogs they described as “aggressive” while serving a drug-related search warrant at his home earlier this month in southwest Columbia.

Police arrested Jonathan E. Whitworth, 25, of 1501 Kinloch Court on Feb. 11 on suspicion of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and second-degree child endangerment.

A police SWAT team entered Whitworth’s residence around 8:30 p.m. suspecting a large amount of marijuana at the location, police spokeswoman Officer Jessie Haden said. SWAT members encountered a pit bull upon entry, held back and then fatally shot the dog, which officers said was acting in an uncontrollably aggressive manner.

Whitworth was arrested, and his wife and 7-year-old son were present during the SWAT raid, Haden said. A second dog, which Whitworth’s attorney Jeff Hilbrenner described as a corgi, also was shot but was not killed.

“The family is concerned with what happened,” Hilbrenner said. “We don’t feel like what happened in the home was appropriate. The priority right now for us is the misdemeanor charges.”

Police discovered a grinder, a pipe and a small amount of marijuana, Haden said. Because the SWAT team acts on the most updated information available, the team wanted to enter the house before marijuana believed to be at the location could be distributed, she said.

“If you let too much time go by, then the drugs are not there,” she said.

Drug distributors traditionally have a history with firearms, which is why the SWAT team is used when executing such warrants, Haden said. If the SWAT team believed they could have executed the warrant successfully during the daytime when the wife and child were not present, they would have, she said.

I wanted to make it clear to everyone that it was my office that alerted the police and David Goldstein from channel 2, that the Absolute Organic clinic in the garment district was selling fake letters of recommendations using my signature. As the story noted, my signature and identity are being used unlawfully. In no way, shape or form am I affiliated with this illegal operation. Absolute Organics has copied and pasted my signature on a form that they created without my knowledge or permission. They are impersonating doctors and stealing their identities. We reported this to law enforcement on Jan 22nd and David Goldstein on Feb 10th, well in advance of this story breaking. It is still unclear to me why Mr. Goldstein would secretly follow me from my office and then surprise me in a parking lot while doing my shopping. Why not just call and set up an appointment with me? My office was in constant contact with David Goldstein (channel 2 reporter) while he was putting this story together.
Goldstein fails to mention that he was aware that this was reported to the police by my office on Jan 22nd. Perhaps he was intending on shading a negative light on medical marijuana in general. A part of his story could have been about a tip he received from a doctor's office, (my office) that reported that illegal activity was taking place. He could have used this opportunity to show that legitimate doctors do care about the image that medical marijuana has. The news story could have been used to better educate the legitimate medical marijuana patients.
Patients should be aware that medical marijuana evaluations are to be conducted by a CA licensed MD (medical doctor) or DO (doctor of osteopathy) only. Physician Assistants (PA's), medical assistants, chiropractors, dentist, podiatrist, physiologist or anyone else that's not a licensed MD or DO cannot evaluate patients for medical marijuana, legally. Patients should also be aware that it is illegal for a doctor to tell you where to obtain, or to sell you marijuana. If you are at a medical marijuana office and do not see a physician, you can bet that it's illegal. Don't be fooled by cheap, fast evaluations, that don't require medical records or for you to see a doctor. Do your research, look up the medical license numbers of your doctor on-line, ask to see proof from your doctor. These scammers make legitimate patients look bad and they need to be stopped.

ALL THINGS MARIJUANA BLOOM AT CONVENTION CENTER

There were cannabis creams and THC soda, doctor green thumbs, hemp nurses, and even a marijuana chef all taking part in the green festivities at HempCon 2010.

Thousands of medical marijuana consumers, advocates and vendors crowded the Los Angeles Convention Center Saturday for the three-day event.

Sporting an artificial marijuana leaf lei, Pomona resident Lastarr Lang said the convention is a chance for medical marijuana patients to learn about new products while vendors promote their gadgets - but for smokers like her it's also about building community.

"There's a lot of people who benefit so much from marijuana...it's good to see them all here enjoying the great atmosphere."

A lupus patient, Lang said marijuana helps her control chronic pain.

"If I wasn't smoking I would be on Vicodin, Naproxin or some other narcotic," Lang said. "I'd become a zombie."

For medical marijuana smokers, the convention offered a massive selection of rainbow-colored glass pipes in every size and price range imaginable. There were also vaporizers on display, for those who prefer inhaling cannabis rather than smoking it, and reusable pot containers for those interested in going green.

Tucked between a hydroponic water system vendor and hemp retailer was also Chef "Herb."

Herb Seisel III by birth, the 25-year cooking vet said that after cooking in restaurants and hospitals for more than two decades he realized that he wanted his food to help people.

By coming up with a line of THC cooking oil and butter, Seisel said he can help patients get their daily dose of cannabis while savoring delicious meals.

"The THC lingers a lot longer when you eat it...it creates a better body high."

Convention attendees had to take his word for it. No marijuana consumption of any kind was allowed at HempCon, even in edible form. Even garden specialists had to use rosemary plants or fakes to simulate the plant.

The irony of hemp not being allowed at a hemp convention reflects the controversy over conflicting laws about marijuana use in California.

Since 1996 medical marijuana has been legal under California state law thanks to Proposition 215 and the Compassionate Use Act. In recent years, the number of dispensaries has exploded, with an estimated 800 to 1,000 in Los Angeles alone.

But marijuana - medical or otherwise - continues to be illegal under federal law. And Los Angeles city officials have launched new efforts to reduce the number of dispensaries.

Some convention attendees still felt nervous speaking publicly about their drug usage.

"There are still people who will harass you if they find out you're a smoker," said Debbie, a 54-year-old woman who refused to give her last name.

The Palm Springs resident said she was pleased to see the marijuana community out in full force, and she hoped that smoking would be legal soon. But until then she still felt she had to hide her marijuana use, even though she's been smoking more than 40 years.

"So many people are still ignorant," Debbie said.

"They believe it's reefer madness...and that may never change."]]> Pubdate: Sun, 21 Feb 2010
