NM Planning Medical Marijuana Program
Washington Post – Aug 18, 2007
The department announced earlier this week that it would not implement the law’s provisions for the agency to oversee the production and distribution of marijuana to eligible patients. That decision came after Attorney General Gary King warned that the department and its employees could face federal prosecution for implementing the law, which took effect in July. The distribution and use of marijuana are illegal under federal law, and King has said federal authorities have prosecuted citizens for growing medical marijuana. On Friday, Richardson directed the department to plan for full implementation of the program, such as preparing the regulations that will permanently govern how it operates. Under the law, the department is to issue the rules by October, including for licensing marijuana producers and developing a system to distribute the drug to qualified patients. Richardson spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said a decision would be made later whether to implement the production and distribution system if federal prosecution remained possible. Gallegos said the administration was pursuing possible legal options to allow the state to provide patients with access to medical marijuana, but declined to say what… Richardson spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said a decision would be made later whether to implement the production and distribution system if federal prosecution remained possible. Gallegos said the administration was pursuing possible legal options to allow the state to provide patients with access to medical marijuana, but declined to say what. The new state law allows the use of marijuana for pain or other symptoms of debilitating illnesses such as cancer, glaucoma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, HIV-AIDS and certain spinal cord injuries. New Mexico is the 12th state to legalize marijuana for certain medical uses, but it’s the only one calling for state-licensed production and distribution of the drug. Also Friday, Richardson, a Democratic presidential candidate, sent a letter to President Bush urging the federal government to allow states like New Mexico to implement medical marijuana programs without fear of federal prosecution. Such as exception would require Congress to approve legislation changing the law, Gallegos said.
Medical marijuana may go on Ohio ballot
Columbus Dispatch – Aug 18, 2007
ptr div –> A statewide issue to legalize medical marijuana is headed for the ballot in Michigan next year– and could swing south to Ohio shortly thereafter. The nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance, which backed an unsuccessful 2002 Ohio constitutionalamendment to require treatment instead of imprisonment for nonviolent drug offenders, is watchingMichigan closely, a spokesman said. A dozen states already have some form of medical marijuana law on the books. “Ohio would be a state worth considering, certainly a high priority. It would be a question oftiming,” said Edward J. Orlett, a former Democratic state legislator who represents the Drug PolicyAlliance in Ohio. Marijuana contains THC, a powerful chemical that can produce a sense of euphoria.

Pot advocates gather for Hempfest
Seattle Post-Intelligencer – Seattle Post Intelligencer – Aug 18, 2007
About 150,000 people were expected at the two-day event, which calls for greater tolerance of marijuana and hemp use. Organizers say the gathering, which costs about $200,000 to produce, is the largest legal reform rally of its kind in the country. As smoke filled the air, people relaxed and listened to reggae and folk music. Edmonds travel guru Rick Steves returned from Europe for the event and proclaimed that responsible marijuana use by adults is a civil liberty. He referred to the Declaration of Independence and its call for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Allergic Skin Disease Could Be Helped By Cannabis
MedIndia – Aug 18, 2007
Raphael Mechoulam’s research group at the Hebrew University isolated two naturally occurring cannabinoid (cannabis-like) components – one from the brain, named anandamide, and another from the intestines named 2-AG. These two cannabinoids, plus their receptors and various enzymes that are involved in the cannnabinoids’ syntheses and degradations, comprise the endocannabinoid system. These materials have similar effects to those of the active components in hashish and marijuana, produced from the cannabis plant. As part of this study, a team of researchers including Dr Andreas Zimmer and Prof. Mechoulam tested the endocannabinoid system as a major regulator of cutaneous (skin) contact hypersensitivity (CHS) in a mouse model.
