Marijuana Case Study

February 26 2016, Vancouver: Federal Court Judge Michael Phelan has ruled against the “arbitrary and overboard” legislation introduced by the former Conservative government that stopped patients from cultivating their own medical marijuana in Canada.

· Medical Marijuana Law: Passed under the Compassionate Use act of 1996, Proposition 215 ensured that individuals in California could use marijuana for medical uses as approved by a physician. It also led to the rise of dispensaries, where the drug could be provided and monitored safely, as well as allowed home growing of marijuana under certain restrictions for individuals using it medically. It also allowed the patient’s, “primary caregiver” to obtain the marijuana for the individual. This caregiver has to provide “…for housing, health or safety” of the patient (Proposition 215).

The Supreme court on Monday declined to hear a lawsuit challenging Colorado’s legalization of recreational marijuana. The two neighboring states Nebraska and Oklahoma used a rare procedure to attack the law asking to allow them to file a lawsuit directly to the Supreme Court. This is allowed by the constitution to hear disputes between states but it is usually disputes about other things such as land or resources. In 2012 the voters of Colorado voted to change the state's constitution to regulate the sales and distributions of it and to allow it for recreational use.

MILLERSBURG — A Killbuck man on Thursday admitted to selling marijuana to a confidential informant working with the Holmes County Sheriff's Office in June.

The law allowed patients with specific illnesses to possess a small amount of marijuana (1.25 ounces) for treatment, as long as it was prescribed by a physician. In 2002, the amount of marijuana patients were allowed to possess was increased from 1.25 ounces to 2.5 ounces. Some of the specific illnesses medical marijuana was prescribed for are nausea, vomiting, wasting syndrome or loss of appetite due to AIDS, chemotherapy or radiation treatments for cancer, glaucoma, seizures from a disease such as epilepsy, and muscle spasms from a disease like multiple sclerosis (State of Maine Legislature 2017).

Study Summary This study focused on the cognitive effects of cannabis use in adolescent and young adult users, with a range of individuals who were non-users, occasional users of cannabis (twice per week or less), and frequent users of cannabis (more than 3 times per week). There were two hypotheses noted for this study: (1) “cannabis users would show deficits in executive functioning, memory, and social cognition, with occasional cannabis users showing lesser deficits than frequent users”, and (2) “cognitive deficits would be more pronounced during adolescence and in those who initiated use at earlier ages” (Scott et al. , pg 424). Cannabinoid receptors exist in the body (C1 and C2 receptors), and are responsible for affecting the mood

Media outlets throughout the state are covering various efforts to convince Ohioans to vote for an Amendment to the Ohio Constitution to legalize marijuana in Ohio. The best publicized and financed of these efforts is by the cleverly named “ResponsibleOhio.” ResponsibleOhio has been touting a 13-page proposed Amendment to the Ohio Constitution that would legalize possession, use and sale of medical and recreational marijuana in Ohio. ResponsibleOhio almost certainly will have sufficient signatures of registered voters to place its proposed Amendment on the November 3, 2015 ballot.

Another potential challenge is a new law. California just passed a proposition that makes marijuana legal and allows people to grow it in their backyard for recreational purposes. There are people who are worried about how this might affect our area since it is known for pot and is a good source of our economy. Those people think it might cause hardship for people and business that relied on it and make more people homeless as a result.

The demanders in this situation are a very diverse group of people who come from very different backgrounds, but all have one common goal: the decriminalization of marijuana. The demanders, whether they realize it or not, have their roots as a group in those marijuana users who existed during the presidencies that originally criminalized the drug. Those presidents and their administrations created a precedent that marijuana demanders have been fighting against since the problem started with the Nixon administration.

Cannabis is one of the world’s most ancient drugs that has been used throughout history with various purposes. In China, cannabis was used as for medical purposes for rheumatic pain, constipation, and as an anesthetic for patients (Zuardi, 2006). In the year 450 BC Cannabis was brought by Scythian invaders to Europe, for the purpose of being used during rituals yet the drug was introduced in western medicine in the 19th century by a physician named Willian B Shaughnessy and Jacques-Joseph Morrow ( Zuardi, 20016). Both Shaughnessy and Morrow contributed to the medical literature of cannabis and its psychoactive effects ( Zuardi, 2006). In India, Cannabis was used as part of a religious ritual, as the Atharva Veda says, Cannabis was

The voters of the state of Colorado approved the legalization of marijuana, allowing the sale of marijuana in retail stores starting January 1, 2014. There are those that feel the legalization is providing Colorado and its cities with increased tax revenue and lower criminal costs associated with marijuana. There are others that believe the legalization is increasing the population of drug users and attracting undesired elements to the state. Now that the sale of marijuana has been legal for more than a year, what are the facts concerning these issues.
