Separating The Therapeutic Benefits Of Cannabis From Its Mood…
Science Daily – Science Daily (press release) – Nov 30, 2007
Cannabis contains a chemical called THC, which binds to, and activates, proteins in the brain known as ‘CB1 cannabinoid receptors’. Activating these receptors can relieve pain and prevent epileptic seizures; but it also causes the mood-altering effect experienced by people who use cannabis as a recreational drug… Professor Elphick explains: “Because CRIP1a inhibits the activity of the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, it may be possible to develop drugs that block this interaction, and in turn enhance CB1 activity. This may give patients the pain relief associated with CB1 activity, without the ‘high’ that cannabis users experience. ”
Leslie Iversen FRS, Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Oxford and author of The Science of Marijuana, commented on the new findings: “This interesting discovery provides a completely new insight into the regulation of the cannabinoid system in the brain – and could offer a new approach to the discovery of cannabis-based medicines in the future. ”
“CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Activity Is Modulated by the Cannabinoid Receptor Interacting Protein CRIP1a” is published online in the December issue of Molecular Pharmacology.

Number of students caught with marijuana has increased this fall
Tufts Daily – Nov 30, 2007
She said in an e-mail to the Daily that her office, which also receives reports that come directly from residential staffers and don’t go through TUPD, has heard of about 35 allegations of possession or use of marijuana so far this semester. According to Keith, there are not any new TUPD initiatives that would account for an increase in the number of students caught. “I think it’s probably the result of [marijuana] being more prevalent on campus,” he said. Pointing to this, Keith said that officers have “on-viewed” many of the marijuana incidents this fall. “On-viewing” occurs when officers randomly catch students smoking in plain view, either outside or in dorms while making their normal rounds. Last fall, there were no such incidents. The eight students caught were discovered only because a smoke alarm went off or someone reported the smell of marijuana.
