Active Ingredient in Marijuana Kills Brain Cancer Cells
New research out of Spain suggests that THC -- the active ingredient in marijuana -- appears to prompt the death of brain cancer cells.
The finding is based on work with mice designed to carry human cancer tumors, as well as from an analysis of THC's impact on tumor cells extracted from two patients coping with a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.

Why Legalizing Marijuana Makes Sense
For the past several years, I've been harboring a fantasy, a last political crusade for the baby-boom generation. We, who started on the path of righteousness, marching for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam, need to find an appropriately high-minded approach to life's exit ramp. In this case, I mean the high-minded part literally. And so, a deal: give us drugs, after a certain age — say, 80 — all drugs, any drugs we want. In return, we will give you our driver's licenses. (I mean, can you imagine how terrifying a nation of decrepit, solipsistic 90-year-old boomers behind the wheel would be?) We'll let you proceed with your lives — much of which will be spent paying for our retirement, in any case — without having to hear us complain about our every ache and reflux. We'll be too busy exploring altered states of consciousness. I even have a slogan for the campaign: "Tune in, turn on, drop dead."

endlich: Sat 1 berichtet über Blei im Gras in Bayern
Sat 1 greift als erstes großes Medium die neuen Bleifälle in Bayern auf. Endlich wird das Schweigen um die Vergiftungsgefahr gebrochen.
Der Drogenbeauftragten Sabine Bätzing sind die DHV-Angaben indes zu vage.
Ich konnte gar nicht glauben, dass die Medien das Thema ignorieren. Der DHV hat bereits am 20.02.09 per Pressemitteilung bekannt gegeben, dass in Bayern Blei im Gras aufgetaucht ist. Außer Hanfmedien und Beratungsorganisationen hat bisher niemand das Thema aufgegriffen. Ich habe zusätzlich bei der Abendzeitung angerufen, wurde von Redakteuer zu Redakteur weitergeleitet, berichtet hat die Zeitung nicht. Dabei waren die Medien letztes Jahr nach der Blei-Epidemie in Leipzig alarmiert! Es handelt sich um ein hochemotionales Thema, es ist wichtig, die Konsumenten zu warnen. Warum rührt sich niemand? Weil es "nur" um Kiffer geht? Weil die Streckmittel ein Problem des Schwarzmarktes und damit ein Problem des Cannabisverbotes sind?

Mastodon's Brent Hinds: 'Acid is the Best Drug in the World'...
Many bands claim to be psychedelic rock, but Mastodon actually lobbies for the title. From an article in the April 16, 2009, issue of Rolling Stone:
The Mastodon brain trust of Hinds and Dailor get their weird lyrical ideas the old fashioned way: “It comes from us doing too much acid,” Hinds says. “Acid is the best drug in the world. It did the most amazing things for my creative psyche, and it still is doing things for me.”

More states move toward allowing medical marijuana use
Some states are moving to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes in response to the Obama administration's decision to limit prosecutions of sick people or caregivers who use or dispense the drug.
Attorney General Eric Holder said last week that his agents will seek criminal charges only when both state and U.S. laws are violated. That signaled a shift from the Bush administration, whose agents raided several centers that dispense marijuana in California, where state law permits its medical use. Twelve other states also allow medical marijuana, but U.S. law prohibits its use for any reason.

DEA raid on cannabis clinic in SF
Raw footage of DEA Raid on Medical Marijuana Dispensary in San Francisco, California on March 25, 2009.
These police officers should spend their time going after violent criminals instead of cowardly cherry picking a known peaceful pot club. Easier to hassle stoners than it is to determine the origin of the AK-47 assault rifle that claimed the life of two police officers last week. Its just a goddamn waste of resources to shut down a tax paying business.
