If ganja is legalized, ads like this one from New Zealand will become necessary. There is enough a problem with drunk drivers. Don't think it is wise to also slow stoned drivers into the mix.

I saw this a while back and Muta is re-playing it tonight. I don't agree with Chris Blackwell but anyway, here is another POV.

Are you for real? This has NOTHING to do with race. I am surprised at you.
If only the original 2 scientists who did the research can replicate the results, this is not ready for public consumption.Comment

United States Patent 6,630,507 Hampson , et al. October 7, 2003 **Please see images for: ( Certificate of Correction ) **
Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
Abstract Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub.3, and COCH.sub.3. ##STR1##

It's legal in some states now where u binOriginally posted by Tropicana View Post
The reason for a patent is for intent. I don't know why you continue this conversation as if you are willing to see another side when your side is a one way street.

I am strongly biased against ganja. I have not hidden that. You are like a dog with a bone in defending it. That is when the best debates and discussions take place. However, I am at least willing to look at data on both sides..you aren't. So, I could ask you the same question.
I will dig deeper into this patent business. If ganja were deemed to be fully safe it would have been legalized long time.Comment

Wrong again!Originally posted by Tropicana View Post
evidence has been put forth by many others bout alcohol and big pharma medicine, tylenol is a good one, which is not safe and kills many ppl every year, yet yuh cyaan bring any case weh ganja kill anybody.
You are on the side of man. i am on the side of The Creator

Definitely I smoking anything is harmful and I have made the case for harmful effects of marijuana. Some from the very researchers at UWI who you point to when backing up your case for the benefits of ganja. I remind you that being the objective party that I amOriginally posted by Emperah View Post
I was the one who posted that data.

Note to self: When the video game programmer comes in tomorrow, remember to ask him to make the Emperah character less argumentative and more agreeable. He is disagreeing on every topic not just some topics as his original programming script specified.

From the patent document shared by Emperah:
Some of the research on these antagonists has focused on cannabinoids, a subset of which have been found to be NMDA receptor antagonists. U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,993 (3S,4S-delta-6-tetrahydrocannabinol-7-oic acids), U.S. Pat. No. 5,521,215 (sterospecific (+) THC enantiomers), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,867 (dimethylheptyl benzopyrans) have reported that these cannabinoids are effective NMDA receptor blockers. U.S. Pat. No. 5,434,295 discloses that the 1,1 dimethylheptyl (DMH) homolog of [3R,4R]-7-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.6 THC (known as HU-210) is a superpotent cannabinoid receptor agonist with cannabinomimetic activity two orders of magnitude greater than the natural .DELTA..sup.9 THC. The HU-210 dimethylheptyl cannabinoid, has severe side effects, including fatigue, thirst, headache, and hypotension.THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is another of the cannabinoids that has been shown to be neuroprotective in cell cultures, but this protection was believed to be mediated by interaction at the cannabinoid receptor, and so would be accompanied by undesired psychotropic side effects. ##STR3##
No signs of toxicity or serious side effects have been observed following chronic administration of cannabidiol to healthy volunteers (Cunha et al., Pharmacology 21:175-185, 1980), even in large acute doses of 700 mg/day (Consroe et al., Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 40:701-708, 1991) but cannabidiol is inactive at the NMDA receptor. Hence in spite of its potential use in treating glaucoma and seizures, cannabidiol has not been considered a neuroprotective agent that could be used to prevent glutamate induced damage in the central nervous system.Comment

The cannabinoid, dronabinol, which is found in marijuana, is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth appropriately as a prescription medication. Dronabinol (Marinol) is an FDA-approved prescription product.
Marijuana is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when it is taken by mouth or smoked. It is classified as an illegal substance.
Use of marijuana can cause dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, dry or red eyes, heart andblood pressure problems, lung problems, impaired mental functioning, headache, dizziness, numbness, panic reactions, hallucinations, flashbacks, depression, and sexual problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Marijuana is UNSAFE when taken by mouth or smoked during pregnancy. Marijuana passes through the placenta and can slow the growth of the fetus. Marijuana use during pregnancy is also associated with childhood leukemia. Using marijuana, either by mouth or by inhalation isLIKELY UNSAFE during breast-feeding. The dronabinol (THC) in marijuana passes into breast milk.
Heart disease: Marijuana might cause rapid heartbeat and short-term high blood pressure.
A weakened immune system: Cannabinoids in marijuana can weaken the immune system, which might make it more difficult for the body to fight infections.
Lung diseases: Long-term use of marijuana can make lung problems worse. Regular, long-term marijuana use has been associated with several cases of an unusual type of emphysema, a lung disease.
Seizure disorders: Marijuana might make seizure disorders worse in some people; in other people it might help to control seizures.
Surgery: Marijuana affects the central nervous system. It might slow the central nervous system too much when combined with anesthesia and other medications during and after surgery. Stop using marijuana at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.Comment

Weed is a social drug....
but it is also a medicinal drug.. proven over centuries confirmed by science...
Zadie Smith this week admit she used it, but now hates the effect.. the slowing of the brain processes that mild use has.. the mellow feeling...
It is non addicitive....non toxic..
the reason Y the US has the patents is that in the 80's alot of lab work demonstrating
http://www.webmd.com/ check every drug based on codiene.. which is banned in the UAE and if u import it and are caught at customs u can be imprisioned...
Cannabinoids from marijuana also appear to be similar to codeine for treatment of pain. However, extreme sleepiness and other central nervous system effects make cannabinoids undesirable as painkillers.
That is a crock.. because getting the body to sleep while it is pain is the ideal, as u used less drugs. the muscles relax....and the body mechanism self heals.. But then when Great Grand Dad used it as a pain relef....
Codeine or its many derivatives compare that to herb....

Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including:seizure.
This product may cause serious mental/mood changes and very serious (rarely fatal) breathing problems. Also, for products that contain codeine or dihydrocodeine, some people (ultra-rapid metabolizers) may be more sensitive to these serious side effects because their bodies change codeine or dihydrocodeine to a stronger narcotic drug (morphine or dihydromorphine) faster and more completely than others. Get medical help right away if you notice any of the following: slow/shallow breathing, unusual drowsiness/difficulty waking up, confusion.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash,itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
