[…]selected five “dispensing organizations” to grow, process and distribute non-euphoric medical marijuana for a select group of sick patients. These five or more cannabis nurseries would be allowed to dispense CBD-rich “Charlotte’s Web” strain statewide. You might be most familiar with Charlotte’s web in CBD (low THC) oil used to help The five approved organizations are: Northwest Region – Hackney Nursery Company in Quincy Northeast Region – Chestnut Hill Tree Farm, LLC in Alachua Central Region – Knox Nursery, Inc. in Winter Garden Southwest Region – Alpha Foliage, Inc. in Homestead Southeast Region – Costa Nursery Farms, LLC in Miami […]
[…]marijuana sales jumped by more than 42% last year: Colorado saw $996.2 million in legal sales of medical and recreational marijuana in 2015, compared to roughly $699 million in 2014. And, where is all that money going? Revenue from retail marijuana sales is helping communities address homelessness, improve local public school facilities, send low-income children to college, fund anti-bullying initiatives, patch potholes, keep the street lights on, secure water rights and educate the public about marijuana laws and treatment. The Free Thought Project writes: The overarching message here is that Colorado has embraced a public health approach to cannabis, instead […]
[…]have legalized cannabis for recreational use and 25 states, plus the District of Columbia, have medical marijuana laws. For months the DEA had been considering a petition to reschedule marijuana and had they done that, more research on the drug could have been done. But, on Wednesday, the FDA decided (sleeping with Big Pharma much?) that marijuana has no accepted medical value. Sure it doesn’t. Tell that to everyone it has helped and conintues to help. I assume there is a special place in hell for people like this who would purposely keep treatments and cures from the sick and […]
Medical Marijuana a Joke? The head of the Drug Enforcement Administration called the idea of medical marijuana a “joke” on Wednesday. To quote his exact words: “What really bothers me is the notion that marijuana is also medicinal — because it’s not,” Rosenberg said in a briefing to reporters. “We can have an intellectually honest debate about whether we should legalize something that is bad and dangerous, but don’t call it medicine — that is a joke.” Chuck Rosenberg, who was appointed to lead the agency in May, made the comments at a press briefing, according to CBS News. He […]
[…]lawmakers are expected to meet in a December special session to overwrite the measure with a marijuana proposal acceptable to Prop 2 opponents, including the church. In a Thursday letter, an attorney representing a faction of the medical cannabis community argued that the church’s fingerprints are all over the push. ‘Although initiative statutes may be amended or repealed by the Legislature, the almost immediate extreme undermining of numerous provisions of Proposition 2 at the behest of The Church of Jesus Christ is anti-democratic and contemptuous of the … recognition in the Utah Constitution that the people are to have the […]
[…]Marijuana Credit: countercurrent news.com Under a new bill passed Tuesday, veterans may now access medical marijuana in states where it is legal. Earlier this week, after an impressive display of activism by veterans outside the White House (dropping medication bottles on the president’s doorstep to send a powerful message), the U.S. Senate made history by passing a bill which allows all military veterans to more easily access medical marijuana in states where it is legal. Under current Department of Veterans Affairs regulations, doctors who work for the V.A. cannot issue cannabis recommendations, even in the 23 states that have laws allowing for […]
[…]pharmaceuticals. It will also be one of Sherman’s greatest legacies. “Currently, medical marijuana is either smoked or ingested as an oil or an edible, often with uneven results. The concept Sherman threw his expertise behind was to standardize different levels of doses in pill form, using both the psychoactive and non-psychoactive elements of marijuana. Sherman and others felt that pills or tablets with regulated dosages unique to individual patients would be a game-changer in the industry. If Health Canada grants permission, the pills will be dispensed at pharmacies with a doctor’s prescription.” CannTrust, established in 2014, is the brainchild of brothers […]
[…]where they could prescribe opioids. RELATED STORY: Cancer patient- I illegally healed myself with medical marijuana! However, it has its detractors, too. Members of the medical community are worried “there’s not enough research about the effects of cannabis and that the bill’s language is too broad.”1 RELATED STORY: The many medicinal benefits of Cannabis and Cannabidiol (CBD) (Never underestimate the benefits of CBD oil…and if you’d like more information or are ready to purchase some, you can do so here——>>>>>>>CLICK HERE!!!!! We love CBD oil so much that we have our own brand of organic CBD oil products.) But bill sponsor, […]
[…]before here, but didn’t have seizure activity back then, nor have to take advantage of the medical marijuana laws in that state. Ironically, now that I have been diagnosed with seizure activity I still can’t get my hands on medical cannabis oil in this state (which is prescribed for seizures in many states) and it’s late 2016! Well, now I find out my former favorite grocery store (Publix!) part owners and founding family has been fighting medical marijuana all along! That’s right! They’ve made a total of seven figures against fighting medical cannabis and Amendment 2 which will be on November’s […]
[…]states that have passed medical marijuana laws and we couldn’t be happier. This means that medical marijuana patients won’t have to get their medicine from the black market/illegal channels. (Now, I’m not sure the Justice Department is happy, Jeff Sessions still believes the decades old and long proven party line LIE, but we are thrilled. He had this to say in February, “States, they can pass the laws they choose. I would just say it does remain a violation of federal law to distribute marijuana throughout any place in the United States, whether a state legalizes it or not.”) The new budget […]
Is marijuana linked to cognitive deficits? No. Is marijuana the ‘gateway drug’? No. Can smoking marijuana damage the lungs? No. Does marijuana cause anxiety and depression? No. Is adolescent marijuana use associated with IQ or educational performances? No. Does marijuana kill cancer cells? Yes. Is marijuana legal? No. Wonder why? Because Big Pharma doesn’t want it. In October 2012, a study, more than thirty years in the making found that smoking marijuana permanently lowers intelligence quotient or IQ. Persistent marijuana use, the researchers found, was associated with neuropsychological decline broadly across domains of functioning. Further, the researchers claimed cessation of marijuana use […]
[…]natural plant wins over harmful drugs. Again. A study has finally been done, which proves that medical marijuana treats migraines. Something like this has never been done before because of the federal regulations in the U.S. that prevent scientists from obtaining cannabis for their research. However, migraine and headache sufferers have been smoking pot to alleviate pain for years and now there is scientific evidence to confirm what they already knew. The study was conducted at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus. One hundred and twenty one people who had diagnosed cases of migraines, were treated with medical marijuana between January 2010 […]
[…]laws. We are hoping that this decision may result in the DOJ’s ridiculous campaign against medical marijuana- which is ILLEGAL under federal law but LEGAL in 25 states AND the District of Columbia. State Medical Marijuana Laws Upheld The issue in the court was that the DOJ argued the previous law did not impede their prosecution of those involved with medical marijuana. They argued they could still go after individual patients, growers, and dispensaries because “scattered prosecutions would not block the state from implementing its medical marijuana laws more broadly”. Meaning, as the DOJ didn’t take legal action against the […]
[…]his lungs and liver. After being given 9-11 months to live, he decided to use chemotherapy and a medical marijuana oil that he made in his kitchen (he also vaped the medicine to get it into his lungs). He’s convinced he wouldn’t be alive today had it not been for the marijuana. Amazing news from the article: “Our last scan about two months ago was fantastic,” Robertson said. “All the tumors in my lungs were gone and all the tumors in my liver had shrunk or resolved, which is unheard of almost, I guess, in this particular disease.” His most recent scans […]
[…]says in an email that the drug store chain has applied to Health Canada to become a licensed medical marijuana producer – but only for the purpose of distributing the drug. Tammy Smitham says Shoppers has “no intention” of producing cannabis. The application is an administrative requirement to be able to distribute the drug. However, even if Shoppers’ application is granted, the retailer won’t be permitted to dispense the drug through its stores unless the government updates the regulations. Under the current regime, patients are only permitted to buy medical marijuana directly from licensed producers, who send it by mail. Smitham says Shoppers […]
[…]foot for the first 3,000 square feet and $10 per square foot for any space after that for each medical marijuana cultivation (considering the city is in serious debt, this must be welcome news to them). While Claremont is around 77,000 square feet, the city kept a portion of the prison grounds. The conversion from former jailhouse to medical marijuana facility may take some time but at least 100 jobs will be created, with potentially more pending the companies success, so the wait is worth it. As ordinances change and there is more cannabis commerce this struggling community might see some […]
[…]article: “Still, the Florida amendment has the potential to be one of the more permissive medical marijuana regimes in the nation. In addition to diseases like HIV, cancer and PTSD, the measure also allows doctors to recommend medical pot for “other debilitating medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated, and for which a physician believes that the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient.” While the 2014 measure allowed doctors to prescribe marijuana for any illness they believed it would be useful for, the new measure requires […]
[…]Medical Association in 2014 made an interesting discovery. In every state that had legalized medical marijuana between 1999 and 2010 (13 states in all), there was a 25% reduction in deaths related to the overdose of legally prescribed opioids. “The difference is quite striking,” said study co-author Colleen Barry, a health policy researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. She notes that the trend became visible in every state a year after the pot was legalized. The study suggests that because patients that are experiencing chronic pain can substitute or suppliment marijuana for their pain pills, they […]
[…]treatment is there.”1 Florida officials hope to broaden access to the state’s medical marijuana program. In February, a circuit judge in Leon County formally reprimanded state legislators and health officials for a cap on cannabis dispensaries that she said: “erects barriers that needlessly increase patients’ costs, risks, and inconvenience, delay access to products, and reduce patients’ practical choice, information, privacy, and safety.”1 RELATED STORY: 7 benefits and uses of CBD Oil (plus side effects) Farmer’s recent remarks highlight the fact that veteran access to cannabis is no insignificant issue. Studies confirm that US veterans are far more likely to seek […]
[…]federal authorities in ways that violate the state’s cannabis laws. Citing both California’s medical marijuana policy and voters’ recent legalization of recreational cannabis last November, the bill makes it clear it holds the state’s laws in higher regard than the federal government’s. If passed, A.B. 1578 would prohibit a state or local agency from “taking certain actions without a court order signed by a judge, including using agency money, facilities, property, equipment, or personnel to assist a federal agency to investigate, detain, detect, report, or arrest a person for commercial or noncommercial marijuana or medical cannabis activity” that is otherwise […]
