A very wealthy family from Australia donated a cool 33.7 million dollars to the University of Sydney. This money, dubbed the Lambert Initiative, is to be expressly used for cannabis research.
If there is one product which has has significant medicinal effects for me, it is the Pure Medical Cannabis Tincture by Cannabis Medicinals of California.
The disconnect between the classification of state-sanctioned cannabis and the federal prohibition of cannabis has created another impossible situation for the law to resolve. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled on June 15th that companies can legally fire employees who use cannabis.
A recent collaborative study done by researchers from San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver took a look at cannabis use amongst opiate users, and reached some interesting conclusions that could help the case for statewide and nationwide legalization.
While on the surface it appears that SAM might be coming around to a modern understanding of cannabis with this report, I'm skeptical. I cannot disregard the long history that Patrick Kennedy and Kevin Sabet (lead brains at SAM) have against cannabis and their strong opposition to legalization.
National Geographic took a deep look at the science of weed and even made it the cover story of their most recent issue. When it comes to apolitical science-based journalism, you'd be hard pressed to find a magazine with more integrity and respect than Nat Geo.
A group opposed to pot legalization unveiled proposals on Thursday for the U.S. government to ease restrictions on scientific research into marijuana's potential as medicine, after three U.S. Senators this year introduced a bill that would require the federal government to recognize pot's medical value and allow states to set their own medical cannabis policies.
Another watershed moment in the cannabis movement happened somewhat under the radar. The Senate Appropriations Committee has passed a bipartisan amendment by a vote of 18-12 that would increase the ease of access to cannabis for veterans.
While researching into how cannabis interacts with other drugs in the brain, scientists inadvertently discovered why coffee and getting high go so well together. Caffeine reinforces the effects with THC, potentially making it more pleasurable and/or requiring less THC to achieve the same effect.
A few days ago in Colorado, a teenage boy named Jaxon who has Dravet's syndrome, a little known condition that causes frequent and long-lasting seizures and strikes early in childhood, was suspended from school when his mother accidentally mixed up her son's school yogurt and home yogurt, which contained his cannabis capsules.
Legalization keeps rolling ahead. But because of years of government roadblocks on research, we don’t know nearly enough about the dangers of marijuana—or the benefits. This week’s TIME cover story examines how little we actually know about marijuana’s effects on our ...
The canyon between actual truth (science) and fear-mongering (politicking) is beautifully displayed by two recent high-profile individuals. In the corner for science, we have Dr. Sanjay Gupta. In the corner of politics, we have New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie.
What Judge Mueller did was an administrative passing of the ball to Congress. Judge Mueller felt the need to rule the way she did and risk disappointing cannabis advocates, because there is more at stake than just cannabis.
Will we one day take our weed pills as a preventative health measure? I have used cannabis medically and recreationally and, to be honest, the two uses have merged a bit.
In perhaps one of the most disappointing outcomes we've seen in a while, a judge has upheld the Federal Schedule I classification of cannabis after a lengthy debate process.
Marijuana, also known as cannabis, has been used for more than 3,000 years for the treatment and management of pain, digestive issues and psychological disorders. Despite the fact that marijuana is thought to be useful for treating several medical conditions and symptoms, there is great debate about its safety and efficacy.
Many are screaming "hypocrisy," and with good reason. How can the U.S. government continue to classify cannabis as a Schedule I drug while simultaneously admitting, at last, to its medicinal benefits?
A group of federal researchers commissioned to prove the government’s claim that marijuana has “no medicinal value” may have unwittingly let some crucial research slip through the cracks, forcing the United States to admit that cannabis can kill cancer.
