[…]of Appeals says that you can’t buy a gun. The court ruled 3-0 on Wednesday that a ban preventing medical marijuana card holders from purchasing firearms is not in violation of the Second Amendment, the Associated Press reports. There are nine western states under the appeals court’s jurisdiction, including Nevada, where the case originated. A lawsuit was filed in 2011 by Nevada resident S. Rowan Wilson after she tried to purchase a gun for self-defense and was denied based on a federal ban on the sale of guns to users of illegal drugs. Though marijuana has been legalized in some […]
[…]under a law from 2014 meant to give patients with cancer and seizures access to a strain of medical marijuana low in THC, the chemical that causes the “high” feeling. And they won’t be alone; five additional nurseries are growing and extracting oil from cannabis and could soon join Trulieve in legally selling medical marijuana. Alpha/Surterra, based in Tampa and Tallahassee, is close to releasing their first products, as well. Many patients (some of whom are children) have been waiting for all the legal challenges to settle and for the drafting of state regulations- all of which delayed the drug’s release. […]
[…]In the synthetic cannabinoid group, 94% (15/16) admitted to using synthetic cannabinoids. In the marijuana group, 96% (24/25) admitted to using marijuana. Blood was available for testing in 96% (24/25) of the marijuana group; 21 of these 24 had quantitative levels of THC (mean + SD = 10.7 + 5 ng/mL) and THC-COOH (mean + SD = 57.8 + 3 ng/mL). Blood was available for testing in 63% (10/16) of the synthetic cannabinoid group, with 80% (8/10) of these positive for synthetic cannabinoids. Those in the synthetic cannabinoid group were more frequently confused (7/16 [44%] vs. 0/25 [0%], p ≤ […]

[…]administration said no to a bid urging the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reconsider how marijuana is classified under federal drug control laws. Currently, the DEA lists marijuana as a Schedule I drug, along with heroin, the pivot drug of the opioid epidemic. But as the Attorney General’s comments demonstrate, the federal government fails to take its own classification methodology seriously, choosing instead to contend that prescription drug abuse is a much bigger issue. Per its federal classification, marijuana should be seen as a threat as dangerous as heroin, and yet Lynch appears to contend the abuse of legal drugs is […]

[…]As early voting began on Monday, some voters in Florida found that Amendment 2 (legalizing medical marijuana in Florida) was MISSING from their ballots. Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Dr. Brenda C. Snipes, reportedly said that humidity may have been to blame for pages becoming stuck together, and causing ballots to print improperly. (Unbelievable.) On Tuesday morning, a Broward County judge held an emergency hearing, at the request of Attorney Norman Kent, for claims from the initial two voters, who said their mail-in ballots were missing Amendment 2. Their lawsuit is directed at Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Dr. Brenda C. Snipes. […]

[…]spending”. A research team from the University of Georgia looked at the 17 states where medical marijuana had been legalized (since 2013 and earlier) and found, “painkiller prescriptions, as well as prescriptions for other medication, dropped dramatically compared to states where medical marijuana remained illegal,” reports Red Dirt Report. In those states, doctors prescribed fewer antidepressants, less seizure medication, and less anti-nausea medication. The researchers also found that Medicare was able to save $165.2 million because of the lower prescription drug use. It is estimated that if every state legalized marijuana, the savings for Medicare would reach $468 million. From the […]

[…]from the Schedule 1 list to the Schedule 2, allowing states to decide whether to legalize marijuana or not. The chairman of the Marijuana Majority, Tom Angell went on to say that, “When even NIDA and the surgeon general are acknowledging that marijuana can help people who are suffering, it is time for the Obama administration to reschedule the drug. The attorney general can initiate that process today.” The one thing that would help to increase the speed of the process would be for the FDA to fully approve marijuana for use as medicine. The NIDA’s document goes on to […]
