world. For example, in the Netherlands cannabis has been legally available for
recreational use in coffee shops for several years. Thus it has also been available
without a prescription for medical uses. Here we take a look at various countries look at

International law
Marijuana is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it
subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to
Schedule IV drugs:
A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it
the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare,
prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession
or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical
and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted
under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.
This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of marijuana to
research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their
own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that
Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_and_medical_status_of_cannabis - for more.

More Suppression of Marijuana Research In the 1980s Melanie Dreher and
colleagues at UMass Amherst began a longitudinal study to assess the well-being of
infants and children whose mothers used cannabis during pregnancy. The
researchers lived in rural Jamaican communities among the women they were
studying. Thirty cannabis-using pregnant women were matched for age and socioeconomic status with 30 non-users. Dreher et al compared the course of their pregnancies
and their neo-natal outcomes, using various standard scales.
No differences were detected three days after birth. At 30 days the exposed babies
did better than the non-exposed on all the scales and significantly better on two of
the scales (having to do with autonomic stability and reflexes). Follow-up studies
were conducted when the kids were four and five (just before entering school and after).
The moms were defined as light users (1-10 spliffs per week), moderate (11-20), and
heavy (21-70). Consumption of ganja tea was also taken into account. ...

Neonatal Outcomes in Jamaica: An Ethnographic Study Melanie C. Dreher, PhD;
Kevin Nugent, PhD; and Rebekah Hudgins, MA ABSTRACT. Objective. To
identify neurobehavioral effects of prenatal marijuana exposure on neonates in
rural Jamaica. Design. Ethnographic field studies and standardized neurobehavior
assessments during the neonatal period. Setting. Rural Jamaica in heavy-marijuana-using
population. Participants. Twenty-four Jamaican neonates exposed to marijuana prenatally
and 20 nonexposed neonates.
Measurements and main results. Exposed and nonexposed neonates were compared
at 3 days and 1 month old, using the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale, including
supplementary items to capture possible subtle effects. There were no significant
differences between exposed and nonexposed neonates on day 3. At 1 month, the
exposed neonates showed better physiological stability and required less examiner
facilitation to reach organized states. The neonates of heavy-marijuana-using mothers had
better scores on autonomic stability, quality of alertness, irritability, and self-regulation
and were judged to be more rewarding for caregivers.
Conclusions. The absence of any differences between the exposed on nonexposed
groups in the early neonatal period suggest that the better scores of exposed
neonates at 1 month are traceable to the cultural positioning and social and
economic characteristics of mothers using marijuana that select for the use of
marijuana but also promote neonatal development. Pediatrics 1994;93:254-260;

Jamaica's ganja study By Pete Brady, Cannabis Culture - Sunday, August 25
2002 | National Commission of Ganja reports widespread support for freeing the
island's sacred weed. Nugget of Jamaican love.Ganja was brought to the West
Indies in the mid-19th century by East Indian laborers who settled in Guyana,
Trinidad and Jamaica. In Jamaica, from the 1800's until the early years of the 20th
century, ganja was an unregulated herb widely used as medicine, intoxicant, and
religious sacrament. Even though it caused few medical or social problems, JudeoChristian church groups and Jamaica's white ruling elite convinced legislators to
criminalize it in 1913. The country later became a signatory to international antimarijuana treaties. Prohibition has been a disaster for Jamaica. Tens of thousands of
Jamaicans have been harassed, jailed and even killed due to enforcement of ganja laws.
Yet, the island's climate, culture, and topography are ideal for ganja cultivation, and
Jamaica has become famous for potent outdoor marijuana, reggae music, and herbinfused Rastafarian religion. In 1977, after decades of counterproductive attempts to stop
Jamaicans from growing and using marijuana, the government set up an aptly-named
"Joint Select Committee" to study ganja and make new policy recommendations.
The Committee rejected full legalization only because it did not believe Jamaica
could legalize herb and still be in compliance with anti-narcotics treaties, but it
unanimously concluded that "there was a substantial case for decriminalizing
personal use of ganja." The Committee recommended "no punishment" for personal use
of as much as two ounces of ganja by users on private premises. It recommended total
legalization
of
medical
marijuana.

With Jamaica in the economic doldrums and grappling with the ill-effects of the
global financial crisis, some suggest the country needs to look seriously at what is
arguably its most popular, albeit illegal, product to help plug the massive revenue
shortfalls in the economy. Marijuana is largely renowned as a recreational drug,
and its usage is banned in most parts of the world. At the same time, the plant known
for possessing medicinal compounds, is increasingly becoming a medically
recommended drug in many territories. Marijuana-derived drugs have proven to be useful
in treating inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma, bipolar disorders, and nausea among

http://www.erols.com/igoddard In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums
on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy
Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose''
access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of
blindness and epileptic seizures [1]. Their chief concern was that legal medical access
would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their
safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that
cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. ... In three major studies conducted in
Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Greece, researchers have compared heavy long-term cannabis
users with non-users and found no evidence of intellectual or neurological damage, no
changes in personality, and no loss of the will to work or participate in society.
The Jamaican study states that, even as cannabis use in Jamaica "is pervasive" and
is used "in heavier quantities with greater THC potency than in the U.S.," its use is
"without
deleterious
social
or
psychological
consequences."

Ganja Law Reform in Jamaica March 12, 2008 – 8:03 am Posted in Cannabis
Policy Reform, International news, Medical Cannabis, Peace & Inspiration |
Headline: March 11.2008 – Spliff Society – Jamaica Considers Calls To
Decriminalize Ganja- When you think of ganja, you think of Jamaica – famous for
righteous reggae vibrations, beautiful beaches and mountainside groves of
marijuana. However, Cannabis (marijuana, ganja, pot) is still illegal in Jamaica,
even as ganja consciousness pervades its’ culture and draws vacationers from
around the world seeking serenity at laid-back ganja-friendly resorts. In 2003, a
government appointed “Ganja Commission” recommended decriminalization (small fines
for users; jail for dealers), but the prospect of losing its’”anti-drug certification” from the
United States and resulting economic sanctions caused the government to continue the
prohibition. This year, with the Jamaican Labour Party in power and the island’s court’s
clogged with marijuana-related cases, there is a real possibility of reform.
As ganja use has been so prevalent in Jamaican culture, it has been a subject of
study by researchers seeking to understand Cannabis use in real-world situations.
One very interesting example comes from Dr. Melanie Dreher (now Dean of the
Rush University College of Nursing in Chicago), who spent years of observing the
dynamics of Jamaican women, motherhood, cultural taboos against cocaine and
cultural support of Cannabis. Indeed, the “Roots Daughters”, respected pillars of
Jamaican family and community, are brewers of ”Ganja Tea”, beneficial both physically
and spiritually. ... Visit:http://cannabistv.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/ganja-law-reformin-jamaica/

Filling the cannabis gap in Britian - Diane Abbott - Sunday, December 23, 2007 |
Most people associate cannabis with Rastafarianism and cannabis growing with
countries like Jamaica. So I was interested to hear a report on the BBC this week,
which suggested that Britain might actually have become a net exporter of cannabis.
Traditionally Britain has imported most of its cannabis. There were, of course,
always people who grew cannabis for personal use. This ranged from the odd
straggly pot plant to rows of rows of cannabis plants carefully grown in a loft under
special lamps. But cannabis has never been commercially grown in Britain. That has all
changed. In the last six years the cultivation of cannabis as a cash crop has grown
exponentially. This is not done outdoors. We have too little sunshine to make that viable.
Instead, the commercial growers use houses bought specially, in areas where
housing is cheap. The houses have their curtains drawn tight all day long. And every
room is given over to growing cannabis. Growing cannabis commercially is not just
confined to inner-city areas. There are 51 police forces in Britain. Forty-seven of
them have reported commercial cannabis cultivation. In Glasgow, Scotland, police
have closed down 61 cannabis factories in nine months. In (largely rural)
Derbyshire they have closed 200 factories in a year. And in London, the
Metropolitan police have closed down over 1,500 factories in the past two years three a day. But the commercial cannabis growers that actually get shut down are
the tip of the iceberg. On the other hand, it is argued that the new strains of cannabis
being commercially cultivated indoors in artificial conditions in Britain and the rest of
Europe are actually stronger and more toxic than the cannabis grown more naturally in
the open air in Jamaica and elsewhere. But the continued rise of commercial production
in Britain proves that pressuring poor countries like Jamaica and Morocco to burn their
crops is pointless. Unless something is done about demand, other suppliers (including
domestic producers) will emerge to fill the gap. ... All the medical evidence shows that it
less harmful than alcohol. ... than the cannabis grown more naturally in the open air in
Jamaica
and
elsewhere.

Ganja in Jamaica It is assumed that marijuana came to Jamaica with the Indians.
This also explains why in Jamaica a Hindi word is used for marijuana, namely
ganja. ... Boekhout van Solinge, Tim (1996), Ganja in Jamaica. Amsterdams Drug
Tijdschrift, nr 2, December 1996, pp. 11-14. English translation by Jeanette
Roberts. © Copyright 1996, 2000 Tim Boekhout van Solinge. All rights reserved.
[Dutch] Ganja in Jamaica by Tim Boekhout van Solinge | Jamaica is a country that
appeals to one's imagination. The tropical island in the Caribbean Sea, once mainly
famous for its rum, is nowadays more associated with reggae, Rastas, and ganja, i.e.,
marijuana. No other country supposedly has a higher consumption of cannabis than
Jamaica. Myth or reality? Tim Boekhout van Solinge was recently in Jamaica and
investigated this issue. Jamaica has a longstanding reputation for its ganja, marijuana of
international top quality. In fact, Jamaica is a country with a traditional use of cannabis,
dating back some 150 years. Jamaica's traditional cannabis use took on mythical
proportions in the course of the 1970s, not lastly due to the emergence of Bob Marley.
This reggae singer from the ghettos of Jamaica's capital, Kingston, was the first Third
World artist, who achieved world-wide recognition. The hippie movement of the West
embraced Bob Marley and many other Rasta singers.
Apart from preaching peace & love, many Jamaican artists also called for the
legalisation of cannabis in their reggae songs. These artists did not only sing about
ganja, many of them were also passionate smokers. Reggae artists (but not each and
every single one) quite often like to light up a spliff or two during studio sessions.
Reggae music, the message of the texts that often could not be seen independently of
Rastafarian religious beliefs, combined with the use of cannabis... 'Jamaica, reggae,
Rastas and ganja', as a whole appealed to the imagination, and to some extent
determined the picture that was formed of Jamaica. Of course, things are not that
simple. The population of Jamaica does not consist of Rastafarians alone - they form an
estimated 5 percent of the population - and not every Rastafarian smokes ganja. On the
other hand, ganja is also widely used by non-Rastafarians. ... Visit: http://www.cedrouva.org/lib/boekhout.ganja.en.html
drugpolicy.org > News > Jamaica to Decriminalize Marijuana - Mon, March 31,
2003 | Two years ago Jamaica’s National Ganja Commission recommended the
decriminalization of marijuana for private use. The recommendation came after
months of hearings and fell short of full-scale regulation aimed at undermining the
illicit market in illegal drugs. In addition to recommending decriminalization, the
Commission also called for education programs to reduce demand and increased
efforts to eradicate large-scale marijuana cultivation.Sensitive to U.S. opposition, the
Commission recommended that Jamaica seek out diplomatic support for its position
throughout the international community. Upon release of the Commission’s
recommendation the U.S. government has made it very clear to Jamaican authorities that
it is adamantly opposed to any changes in Jamaica's marijuana laws. ...

All Jamaica - site for Vacation Travel -... Jamaica travel information. Holy Smoke
- ganja - marijuana. Sinsemilla. Burr, Cotton, and Lamb's Breath. Facts of a
Jamaican vacation Holy Smoke - ganja - marijuana Ganja (marijuana) is an
omnipresent fact of a Jamaican vacation. The weed, which grows throughout the
island, has been cultivated for its narcotic effect since 1845, when indentured Indian
laborers brought the first seeds from Asia. Its use spread rapidly among the
plantation workers. Since it induced indolence and reduced productivity, it was
outlawed. Nonetheless, islanders have used it ever since. Today, an estimated 20% to
40% of Jamaicans smoke it on a regular basis (Life expectancy in Jamaica is 75 years).
As such, in 2001 a government commission recommended that marijuana be legalized for
private use and possession.
Ganja use crosses all social strata; it is no less common for friends of the highest
income levels to offer guests an after-dinner 'tote' than it is for the urban poor, who
often smoke spliffs the size of bazookas. Many Jamaicans don't see ganja as a drug
but as a medicinal and religious herb. To Rastafarians it is a source of wisdom. For
Jamaica's impoverished farmers, growing 'poor man's friend' is one of the few sure
ways of earning money. The remote interior provides ideal conditions; the five-lobed
plant thrives in Jamaica's rich red soil. And the main export market - the USA - is
nearby. During the 1980s heyday, the annual wholesale value of Jamaica's ganja crop
exceeded US$1.5 billion, and the trade had tacit approval at the government level.
Nonetheless, since 1986 the Jamaican government has cracked down on drug trading at
the behest of the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The DEA claims that Jamaica's
ganja production has fallen by 80%, and that exports have fallen by two-thirds. The
strongest varieties are Burr, Cotton, and Lamb's Breath, which are marketed in the USA
as sinsi (short for sinsemilla, Spanish for seedless). ... Visit: http://www.alljamaica.com/jamaica/marijuana.html
WeBeHigh.com Where to buy weed in Negril... Worldwide Marijuana travel
Guide with information about Marijuana prices all over the world ! Check out
WBH's stoners' guide to the world! Negril Updated: 25/09/2006 Smoking tolerance
level: 4
Legislation: Ganja is in fact illegal in Jamaica. Unless you are making trouble, you
would rarely ever be hasseled. There are extremely rare traffic search stops between
Montego bay and Negril but you'd be more likely to be struck by lightning. I often
stop on the way to Negril to buy buds from an old friend.
Law enforcement: Do not huff around police! This gives them an invitation to latch
onto you for some bribe money. I\'d rather spend my greenbacks on buds. Security
gaurds at the resorts will generally look the other way and most often will sell you
buds if you ask. The whole town exists because the tourists dump so much money there.
The Jamaican people generally understand that it is important to make us want to come
back and spend more money next winter. I'm sure if you were smoking ganja on the
beach and cops were coming, the security guards would try to warn you to protect you.
Generally you can feel free to blaze in public streets, beaches, taxi cabs, or at bars,
hotels, you name it. If you see the police coming, put your joint out and chill. If you
do actually get caught up somehow (it can happen), you have a good chance of
bribing your way out of the situation. They might laugh at a twenty dollar bill (USD),
but if you happened to have a Benjamin in your pocket, you've probably got a really good
chance of still catching your flight home on time.
Where to buy marijuana in Negril: This section doesn't really need to be filled out,
because you can not go through Negril without getting offered "the best" ganja by
various Originals. This is especially true if you fit the description (I'm a 23 year old
male a.k.a. target). I had a guy put ganja in my hand while my grandmama was
sittin in the next seat watching. Notice how it wasn't ME watching the dude put the
ganja in GRANDMAMA's hand. Anyways, mom was there too and she made me
give it back. For a fee, you can go on a tour of a plantation. According to a local farmer
who goes by the name of Dr. Fabulous, "when you are on my plantation, you can point at
a plant, and I will just go break a stick off and give it to you, no charge, just tell you to
put it in your bag like that. Yeah mon." Some people who have taken tours with other
farmers in the past have said its not worth the twenty bucks a head it will cost you.
You have to a be a very stern, confident, "i know what the fuck the deal is" type of
negotiator, or you'll end up paying American 'dro prices for some Jamaican Scwuag
(like some of our fathers would probably do because they havn't bought weed for
like 17 years, but they are in Jamica mon! ....When in Rome....) . Be sure to practice
the art of walking away, especially from the first two or three dealers you talk to. You
wouldn't buy the first car you saw, would you?? Trust me, if they seem offended or angry
that you're walking away from the deal right now, you could ALWAYS come back later
and get the same deal or a better one. Money talks. Bullshit walks.
So enough about HOW to buy ganja, the question was WHERE? Answer:
Anywhere. If you smoke, you dont need to know where to buy it, it will find
you.another report added: "It will quite literally find you. Scores of young children will
try to sell you colas as you drive/walk around. Taxi drivers, wait staff, housekeepers,
store owners, hookers, bums, and anyone in Rasta colors are good sources. Just start
some small talk to get whatever it is you want in Negril."
Marijuana prices: $20 could get you two grams or an ounce, depending on your
bartering skills. Although the $20 ounce might be brown and seedy. It is more work
to clean but all the stuff is good in my opinion. Break open the brown buds and they
are still crystallish - this aint no brown Mexican brick weed.Beware of free "gifts"
and stuff like that. After you recieve a gift from a Jamaican hustler, he will harass the hell
out of you for money. Remeber, there is no free joint......... haha, Just kidding! In my
opinion, if you tell the guy that you don't want any because you already have "a whole
bunch" and he proceeds to smoke a joint with you, you don't actually have to pay him
when he starts asking you for money. But have conscience, my friend, have conscience.
another reporter added: "Highly variable. All sales are bartered. Generally the
crafty Jamaican street hawker will start with a ridiculous figure like $100/bud to see
if you'll bite. Just say "Too high for my budget" and start to walk away and the
price will begin to fall. In Negril buds are usually sold as a cola without any reference to
weight. A cola the size of a baby's arm can be had for as little as $5 (rare) but if you pay
more than $20 you have been had."
Brands: Monkey Skunk is to ganja as Red Stripe is to beer. I watched one huslter
count out on his fingers for me, "I've got Moneky Skunk, AK-47, Kush, blah, and
blah". I don't even remember the last two. Names? In 90% of the world they are
absolutely meaningless. I don't mess with names.
another reporter added: "Brands change frequently, a couple of years ago
\"Alaska\" bud was the cats\' meow. Who knows what it will be this week! You will
not find the old landrace Jamaican \"Lambs Breath\" or any other pure sativa any
more. Now ALL Jamaican is composed of indica or hybrids. Indica yields more
product per plant and the buds are denser and form tight colas forming a more
attractive product. Since sativa is such a low yielder, must grow for such a long season,
and has small airy buds, it has been abandoned by growers for the higher yielding, less
detectable indicas. Unfortunately, the current indica buds found in Jamaica today are a
very grim shadow of the old Jamaican sativa strains of the 60's and 70's. That said, the
Jamaican indica/hybrids of today are still somewhat superior to American hydro strains. "
More information: Many small cafe owners sell "space cake". A few have even
adopted the Cambodian nomenclature "happy cake". Be warned that it is usually
very potent and will usually put the most avid smoker down for an all night

Jamaica Explores Legalizing Marijuana | (03-01-2008) KINGSTON, Jamaica
(AP) -- Jamaica is considering the legalization of marijuana, a drug revered by
members of the island's large Rastafarian population who say smoking it is part of
their religion. A seven-member government commission has been researching possible
changes to the Caribbean nation's anti-drug laws, which some police complain are
clogging courts and jails with marijuana-related cases, a government official said Friday.
"We have discussed it, and we are preparing a report to present to the prime
minister," said Deputy Prime Minister Kenneth Baugh. In 2003, a government
commission recommended legalizing marijuana in small amounts for personal use.
But lawmakers never acted, saying legalization might entail loss of their country's
U.S. anti-drug certification. Countries that lose it face economic sanctions. A U.S. State
Department report Friday said that Jamaica is the largest producer of marijuana in the
Caribbean and a major hub for drugs bound for the United States.
Members of the Rastafarian movement, which emerged in Jamaica in the 1930s out
of anger over the oppression of blacks, have long lobbied for the legalization of the
drug that they say brings them closer to the divine. There are an estimated 700,000
Rastafarians in the world, most of them among Jamaica's 2.6 million people. ...

cannabisnews.com: Jamaica Mulls Legalizing Marijuana - Associated Press Source: Las Vegas Sun - 26 Jan 2001 | KINGSTON, Jamaica - Sitting in a small
shop in Dunkirk, one of Kingston's poorest neighborhoods, Junior Spence tells a
tale he describes as incredible: one day he w arrested by police -- for smoking
marijuana! "I could not believe it," said the 23-year-old, who months later remains
befuddled over the arrest that landed him in jail for a few days and cost him a $20
fine. "Everybody smokes ganja. The police never hassle them!" Spence found out
the hard way that's not always true. Even though "ganja" is revered by Jamaica's
famed Rastafarians and smoked regularly by many ordinary Jamaicans, it remains
illegal. One critic, Sen. Trevor Munroe, is sponsoring a motion in parliament to study
marijuana's medical value, examine how widely it is used and allow possession of small
amounts. That would offend Washington, which considers Jamaican marijuana an
American problem because much of it ends up in the United States. The proposal's
chances appear slim because the government opposes it. But it has spawned debate. ...

Jamaica considers legalizing marijuana - CNN - August 17, 2001 | KINGSTON,
Jamaica (AP) -- In the heart of Kingston, about a dozen men stand in an open-air
emporium stacking long buds of marijuana even though the crop is illegal in
Jamaica. "High-grade, the best ... smell it," says a dreadlocked 27-year-old
Rastafarian at the "Luke Lane" market, who gives his name only as Toro as he
holds a bud in the air and beckons to a passer-by. Sale completed, he lights a joint of
rolled marijuana and smiles. These days, he has a lot to be happy about.
A government commission recommended Thursday that marijuana be legalized for
personal use by adults -- a move the government will likely endorse despite
opposition from the United States, which has spent millions to eradicate the crop on
the Caribbean island. "(Marijuana's) reputation among the people as a panacea and
a spiritually enhancing substance is so strong that it must be regarded as culturally
entrenched," said the commission's report. The National Commission on Ganja -- as
marijuana is known here _ also said Jamaica should allow the use of marijuana for
religious purposes. This is important to the Rastafarian minority, who worship deceased
Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie as a prophet and use marijuana as a sacrament.
Prime Minister P.J. Patterson last year appointed the commission, which included
academics and doctors. So far, he and elected officials have not publicly commented
on the report. But Ralston Smith, an aide to Patterson, said: "My gut feeling is that the
commission's recommendations will be followed." ... are thought to have brought

Marijuana in Jamaica - by Oyster Staff on July 27, 2009 | Marijuana in Jamaica
is as ubiquitous as braids on the beach, or hats with fake dreadlocks. We’ve been
offered it by cab drivers, lifeguards, dudes on jet skis, and numerous musicians.
We’ve seen hotel guests smoke it on tennis courts, on their balconies, and on the
beach. Though ganja in Jamaica is easy to find, be prepared for a wide range of quality
and prices. You can buy large quantities at cheap prices, but dealers will try to gouge you
for a couple of joints or a dime bag. Also note that although weed in Jamaica is generally
tolerated, it is technically illegal, so it’s awfully easy for policemen to bust tourists for a
quick fine.
During a day trip to Bob Marley’s birthplace, about an hour outside Ocho Rios, we
were inundated with marijuana sales pitches. Men pushed joints into our taxi’s
windows the moment we pulled into the parking lot, insisting the only proper way to
pay our respects would be to spark up at Bob’s grave site. Later, they took us on a
tour of their nearby “plantation.” Some of our favorite hotels within driving distance
of the Marley Museum and all its smoky fun are Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica, Sandals
Grande Beach, Moxons Beach Club, Royal Plantation and Jamaica Inn. Also know that
herb-free visitors can easily avoid marijuana if they so choose. Jamaica is, after all, one
of
the
most
family-friendly
islands
in

Marijuana and Medicine - Chapter 3; Ganja in Jamaica is a unit of the
Disparities in Law and Power project ... Saturday, August 8, 2009 | FIRST, DO NO
HARM: CONSEQUENCES OF MARIJUANA USE AND ABUSE CHAPTER 3:
First, Do No Harm: Consequences of Marijuana Use and Abuse Primum non
nocere. This is the physician's first rule: whatever treatment a physician prescribes
to a patient - first, that treatment must not harm the patient. The most contentious
aspect of the medical marijuana debate is not whether marijuana can alleviate particular
symptoms, but rather the degree of harm associated with its use. This chapter thus
explores the negative health consequences of marijuana use, first with respect to drug
abuse, then from psychological perspective, and finally from a physiological perspective.
The Marijuana "High" The most commonly reported effects of smoked marijuana
are a sense of well-being or euphoria and increased talkativeness and laughter
alternating with periods of introspective dreaminess followed by lethargy and
sleepiness (see reviews by Adams and Martin I 996, and Hall 1994 and 1998 1, 58,
59). A characteristic feature of a marijuana "high" is a distortion in the sense of
time associated with deficits in short-term memory and learning.A marijuana smoker
typically has a sense of enhanced physical and emotional sensitivity' including a feeling
of greater interpersonal closeness. The most obvious behavioral abnormality displayed by
someone under the influence of marijuana is difficulty in carrying on an intelligible
conversation, perhaps because of an inability to remember what was just said even a few
words earlier.
The Link Between Medical Use and Drug Abuse Almost everyone who spoke or
wrote to the IOM study team about the potential harms of the medical use of
marijuana felt that it would send the wrong message to children and teenagers.They
stated that information about the harms of marijuana is undermined by claims that
marijuana might have medical value. Yet, many of our powerful medicines are also
dangerous medicines. These two facets of medicine -effectiveness and risk - are
inextricably
linked.

Jamaica Gleaner News - Marijuana - What role in Jamaica's future? published:
Monday, June 23, 2008 | The Editor, Sir: HealthDay Reporter, Steven Reinberg
recently wrote an article entitled 'Marijuana May Shrink Parts of the Brain'.
According to him, researchers have found that long-term use of the drug can cause
significant brain injury, affect memory and result in early psychotic symptoms. I
believe that the utilisation of nature's gift of marijuana is a great way to gain some
sort of economic stability in Jamaica. It is my belief that if marijuana was legalised it
could help in providing economic stability in Jamaica. We need to utilise nature's gifts
such as marijuana, cassava, and so forth.
It is common knowledge that Jamaica produces some of the best grade of marijuana
in the region. This will explain the overwhelming demand on the market for it. I am
not writing as a user or a producer of marijuana; in fact. I do not smoke, and I never
will, but one can't help but notice the overall impact that legalisation would have on our
economy. One can argue that this issue is bigger than the Jamaican government or the
Jamaican people, and we would face many challenges in regards to its legalisation from
countries such as the United States, England and so forth. ... Visit: http://www.jamaicagleaner.com/gleaner/20080623/letters/letters5.html

medicinal purposes. A new medical journal released in 2001 focuses on the

medicinal use of cannabis have been held in the United States in 2000 and 2002 and are
scheduled to continue on a biennial basis. Most importantly, data on the number of

committee today cleared a measure that would allow medical use of marijuana in
New Jersey. The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee
voted to approve the long-stalled bill by a 6 to 1 margin; two senators abstained. The
bill calls for creating “alternative treatment centers” where people with chronic and
terminal diseases would be allowed access to marijuana. Supporters say marijuana is a
viable treatment option to alleviate pain in many cases.
“It is the definition of basic human decency that we do whatever we can to ease the
pain and suffering of people living with severe chronic and terminal diseases,” said
bill sponsor Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union. “When all other avenues of currentlyapproved pain relief have been exhausted, we need to give doctors the freedom to
prescribe medical marijuana to give their patients a measure of comfort and dignity in the
face of their debilitating diseases. This bill is about the most humane, compassionate
option for those state residents who have nowhere else to turn in managing their
illnesses.”
If ultimately approved by the full Legislature and signed by Governor Corzine, New
Jersey would be the 14th state to allow medical use of marijuana. ... Visit https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=106356.

Posted by elizabeth | A new study entitled Marijuana Effectiveness as an HIV SelfCare Strategy, which was released this past weekend in Clinical Nursing Research,
indicates that persons living with HIV/AIDS rate cannabis as more effective in treating
the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, and neuropathy than other
prescription and over the counter medications.
The study, which was conducted over a two year period and included 775 patients
from the USA, Africa, and Puerto Rico, assessed the use of cannabis as a symptom
management approach for anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and
peripheral neuropathy. 27% of survey participants reported using cannabis for
medicinal purposes.
Researchers wrote that cannabis use “was rated slightly more effective than
antidepressants for anxiety and depression, Imodium for diarrhea, [over the
counter] (OTC) medications for fatigue, and anti-epileptics and OTC medications
for neuropathy” while cannabis was rated “slightly less effective for nausea than
either prescribed or OTC medications.” Authors concluded that cannabis “is

management.” ... Visit - http://safeaccessnow.org/blog/?cat=22.

US Government Says It Will Stop Interfering with Medical Marijuana |
According to this article, US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that states will
be allowed to make their own rules about medical marijuana, and that the US
federal government will stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in California.
(See article “Can Marijuana Help Rescue California’s Economy?”at this link) In the
1990s, several US states passed referendums which allowed marijuana to be used legally
for medical purposes. In a referendum, the registered voters vote directly on the proposed
law, as opposed to the law being passed by the state legislature. Thus, when these states
passed these referendums, it meant that the citizens of these states really wanted medical
marijuana to be made legal.
However, in a blatant disregard for democracy and the people’s will, under the
Bush administration, the national government refused to accept this law, and carried out
raids of the medical marijuana dispensaries. ... Click > here < for more.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song,
“Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics
were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering
drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and
mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a
chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found
in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high”
sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high
feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is
considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can
be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC. Visit

THE REEFER MADNESS ERA, REEFER MADNESS BOOKS (Info, History)
By definition, it would be a contradiction in terms to list or classify a Reefer
Madness book as a work of "Non-Fiction." Thus both genres are group together
here simply as "Hard Cover" books; if only to distinguish them from the "Pulp
Fiction" or "Dime Store novels" discussed elsewhere. However where appropriate
the terms [Fiction] and [Non-Fiction] are used. Please take note - This Index consists

Organizations,
1. Since 1996, twelve states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, CA, CO, HI,
ME, MT, NV, NM, OR, RI, VT, and WA. Eight of the twelve did so through the

the governor's signature in May 2004, Rhode Island's was passed into law over the
governor's veto in January 2006, and New Mexico's legislation was signed into law by
Governor Bill Richardson on April 2, 2007.
2. The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana stated, "The
accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabinoid drugs,
particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and
appetite stimulation." And more. Visit - www.drugwarfacts.org/medicalm.htm

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to
medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California,
former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter
stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven
therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their
chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is
safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the
scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and
safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL
REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal
drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can
safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while
prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000
Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year. Click here for more.

Medical Cannabis Strains - Geoffrey Guy, MD (GW Pharmaceuticals, U.K) |
Founder and President of G.W. Pharmaceuticals in Russia, Dr. Geoffrey Guy's
observations about the mammalian Cannabinoid system (with more receptors
throughout the body than any other system) are presented to the Second Clinical
Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics, held in Portland, OR in May, 2002. First
discussing CB1 and CB@ receptors; the modulatory effect on dopamine, GABA and
glutamate; and cross-talk with other receptors, Dr. Guy then examines PhytoCannabinoids (plant based)THC, CBD and others, with GW's success in producing whole
extracts from 3 tonnes/year of dried marijuana and years of genetic breeding to feature
both

THC
and
