NORML is the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Current law prohibits medicinal cannabis use even though it has been shown to work more effectively and with fewer side effects then many commercially produced pharmaceuticals to releive certain symptoms. Current law also prevents American farmers from growing industrial hemp. The United States imports ALL of it’s raw industrial hemp and hemp products used and sold in the U.S. and is one of the last industrialized nations in the world still banning the cultivation of industrial hemp. If you would like to help change the current Marijuana Laws you have come to the right place.

Medical Marijuana: Marijuana Extracts Provide Superior Pain Relief Compared To Plant's Isolated ComMarijuana Extracts Provide Superior Pain Relief Compared To Plant's Isolated Compounds, Study Says. “Cannabis sativa evoked a total relief of neuropathic pain, ameliorating the effect of single cannabinoids” July 17, 2008 - Milan, Italy Milan, Italy: The administration of whole-plant cannabis extracts provides superior pain relief compared to the administration of the plant's isolated components, according to preclinical data to be published in the journal Phytotherapy Research. Investigators at the University of Milan, Department of Pharmacology assessed the antinociceptive efficacy of plant-derived cannabis extracts compared to the administration of a single cannabinoid in an animal model of neuropathic pain. Researchers reported that the administration of single cannabinoids such as THC or CBD (cannabidiol) produced limited relief compared to the administration of plant extracts containing multiple cannabinoids, terpenes (oils), and flavonoids (pigments). "[T]he use of a standardized extract of Cannabis sativa … evoked a total relief of thermal hyperalgesia, in an experimental model of neuropathic pain, … ameliorating the effect of single cannabinoids," investigators concluded.

Medical Marijuana: Michigan vote seen as test for region on medical marijuana issueAcross Midwest, interest in medical marijuana grows Michigan vote seen as test for region on issue By Tim Jones | Chicago Tribune correspondent July 13, 2008 The move to legalize medical marijuana is advancing in the Midwest, with Michigan poised to be the first state between the Rockies and New England to sanction the use of the illegal drug by terminally or seriously ill people. Michigan voters will decide in November whether to authorize marijuana use if a doctor determines suffering could be eased by the drug from such diseases as cancer, Crohn's disease, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's or hepatitis C. While years of public opinion polls show opposition to legalizing marijuana, polls and the overwhelming majority of state referendum votes also show strong support for medical use of marijuana. At the same time, some physician groups have dropped their resistance to medical marijuana. Read more. . . Posted by GregP Saturday, July 12, 2008 (15:50:46) comments? |

Reefer Madness: US Drug Enforcement Administration ‘Celebrates’ 35 Years Of FailureUS Drug Enforcement Administration ‘Celebrates’ 35 Years Of Failure July 3, 2008 - Washington, DC, USA Washington, DC: The United State’s top federal anti-drug agency, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), turned 35-years-old this week, according to US Department of Justice press release. “The Drug Enforcement Administration was created 35 years ago on [July 1] by President Richard Nixon, who through an Executive Order established a single unified command to combat ‘an all-out global war on the drug menace,’” the DOJ release states. “At its outset, the DEA had 1,470 Special Agents, a budget of less than $75 million, and a presence in 31 countries. Today, the DEA has 5,235 Special Agents, a budget of more than $2.4 billion and 87 foreign offices in 63 countries.” Read more. . . Posted by GregP Tuesday, July 08, 2008 (22:40:45) comments? |

News: 3 HOT-BUTTON ISSUES POISED FOR NOV. VOTE3 HOT-BUTTON ISSUES POISED FOR NOV. VOTE by Charlie Cain, Kim Kozlowski, (Source:Detroit News) 08 Jul 2008 Michigan ------- Medical Marijuana Use, Government Reform, Stem Cells May Mobilize Voters. Michigan voters will likely decide a red-hot trio of ballot questions in November: a massive overhaul of state government, a plan to ease restrictions on stem cell research, and another that would allow seriously ill people to legally smoke marijuana. In a normal year, the marijuana proposal would trigger the most controversy, experts say. But the other two ballot propositions are laced with such high emotion that the pot proposal may turn out to be the tamest of all. "Medical marijuana is the least controversial of the three by far," said former state lawmaker Dianne Byrum, the spokeswoman for that proposal, as well as the reform proposal, which would trim the size of state government, slash the pay and benefits of elected officials and cut the size of the Legislature and the state's highest courts.

Medical Marijuana: What Your Government Knows About Cannabis And Cancer -- And Isn't Telling YouWhat Your Government Knows About Cannabis And Cancer -- And Isn't Telling You By Paul Armentano Posted June 24, 2008 | 04:20 PM (EST) Senator Ted Kennedy is putting forward a brave face following his recent surgery but the sad reality remains. Even with successful surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy treatment, gliomas -- a highly aggressive form of brain cancer that strikes approximately 10,000 Americans annually -- tragically claim the lives of 75 percent of its victims within two years and virtually all within five years. But what if there was an alternative treatment for gliomas that could selectively target the cancer while leaving healthy cells intact? And what if federal bureaucrats were aware of this treatment, but deliberately withheld this information from the public? Sadly, the questions posed above are not entirely hypothetical. Let me explain. In 2007, I reviewed over 150 published preclinical and clinical studies assessing the therapeutic potential of marijuana and several of its active compounds, known as cannabinoids. I summarized these numerous studies in a book, now in its third edition, entitled Emerging Clinical Applications for Cannabis and Cannabinoids: A Review of the Scientific Literature. (NORML Foundation, 2008) One chapter in this book, which summarized the findings of more than 30 separate trials and literature reviews, was dedicated to the use of cannabinoids as potential anti-cancer agents, particularly in the treatment of gliomas. Not familiar with this scientific research? Your government is. In fact, the first experiment documenting pot's potent anti-cancer effects took place in 1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the behest federal bureaucrats. The results of that study, reported in an Aug. 18, 1974, Washington Post newspaper feature, were that marijuana's primary psychoactive component, THC, "slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."
