NZ Police Intel 'New Cannabis'

(heads up thanks to BrandonH)4.2.4 Cannabis Hospital Admissions by Gender and Age The abuse of cannabis by young New Zealanders is a key focus of this assessment primarily because of the widely held perception that cannabis is a harmless drug.

Cannabis Intel, a "confident suppose" is the best we'll get!

Displace Alcohol Problems with Cannabis Benefits.
2008-12-13 09:33:00 Image via Wikipedia Cheers! We're killing ourselves with hypocritical double standards A massive hike in alcohol prices is the key solution to a national booze problem which kills nearly three people every day and injures many more, say doctors and counsellors.Just because something is affordable doesn't make it laudable....Creating an artificial difference by excise tax is an blatant admission of our systemic drug policy failure. The curtailment of adult choice by the creation of an artificial red line will be no barrier to access, only the choices will alter as they have done in Victoria, Australia. This is a harm maximising strategy masquerading as good policy from which nothing significant will be achieved.If politics is the art of the possible, this suggestion is the graffiti of the stupid.Do we really want to hand hard liquors over to criminal supply chains and add to our justice burden in so doing?

Cannabis, Teens and Schizophrenia
2008-09-25 07:32:00 I received a mail today from someone who attended an interesting conference in the Midwest.At a Mental Illness and Criminal Justice Conference today in Omaha, Nebraska, Dr. Frederick Frese, who is the Coordinator of the Summit County Recovery Project and Assistant Prof of Psychology in Clinical Psychology at NEOUCOM and Case Western Reserve U, and on the Board of Trustees for the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, gave a session on teenage cannabis use and schizophrenia.He has been a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic for 40 years.Frese stated that use of cannabis between the ages of 15 and 18 in persons who have a variant allele of the COMT gene will lead to an almost certain psychotic break by the age of 25. He said it's because of the formative time that the brain is in during those years, in combination with that certain allele, together with cannabis use.He said that if you have do not have the variant allele, no problem. Frese is so concerned about this that he and his tea...

George Michael arrestato per possesso di cannabis e crack. Rilasciato.
2008-09-21 14:36:00 George Michael arrestato per possesso di cannabis e crack Rilasciato nel giro di poche ore a cura di Giuseppe Iannozzi George Michael è stato beccato in un bagno pubblico di Londra e subito messo in manette per possesso di droga. Fermato a Hampstead Heath, quartiere a nord di Londra, gli agenti gli hanno trovato addosso droga di tipo A e C, ovvero cannabis e crack per uso personale. Si apprende comunque che la polizia si è limitata ad emettere nei suoi confronti un "formale monito", dopodiché l'ha rilasciato. George Michael, quarantacinque anni, oltre 100 milioni di album venduti, gay dichiarato, ha già avuto alcuni guai con la giustizia per il consumo di sostanze stupefacenti. Nel 2007 fu sorpreso al volante sotto effetto della droga e per punizione la patente di guida gli è stata ritirata per due anni. Un inserviente - uno dei soliti che amano farsi i cazzi degli altri ma solo per metterli nei casini - avrebbe notato il compor...
Cannabis Is Good For You
2008-08-15 08:24:00 Well, not necessarily in general, but if you are a regular methamphetamine user, there is a suggestion that you get less, not more, brain damage if you concurrently use cannabis than if you use methamphetamine only. The fact that there is a drug that gets you high that might actually be protective of brain damage in some cases is downright fascinating.For a widely-praised review of whether or not cannabis causes brain damage, see here.

Cannabis and Brain Damage: Structural Evidence
2008-08-10 13:52:00 A major charge against cannabis is that it causes actual structural damage to the brain, that is, damage to the brain cells, axons and dendrites themselves. In this post, we will look at this charge. In other posts, we will look at other charges relating to cannabis and brain damage.A frequent charge is that marijuana causes "changes to the hippocampus", which may or may not be permanent.A new study released in early June 2008 suggested that use of more than 5 joints/day for more than 10 years (average of 20 years) caused shrinkage of the hippocampus and the amygdala in the brain. The hippocampus of the cannabis users was 12% smaller, and the amygdala was 7.1% smaller. The cannabis users also did poorer on a word recall test.Nadia Solowij of Australia was involved in this study, and her studies, for whatever reason, almost always find serious harm from cannabis, even at low doses (see below).However, three other studies found no hippocampal damage from cannabis. An MRI study from 2...

Cannabis is not a cause of anti-social behaviour.
2008-06-06 02:47:00 Image via Wikipedia In the politics of drug policy in the community an emerging concern is being expressed characterised by an anti-fun, anti-youth intolerance ranging from neo-prohibitionism to a 'more rules is better than some rules' debate surrounding alcohol deficits in the community. If Cannabis is not a cause of anti-social behaviour AND cannabis is displacing alcohol and other mind altering substances it can be reasonably argued its use is ''harm minimizing" AND producing a positive social outcome.And why do those who are morally (or politically) concerned 'about drug harms' resist change (ie: "we don't need a third drug!") when cannabis is so prevalent and so benign by any comparison yet 'in their name and mine' its draconian sanction so damaging."The Advisory Council also found that cannabis use isn't actually associated with antisocial or criminal behaviour, but the public perception is that it is, because there's a lot of misleading information which confuses p...

Long-term daily cannabis use seen harmful to brain tissue, mental health
2008-06-03 09:33:00 Image by Getty Images via DaylifeDr. Yucel says "Many people in the community, as well as cannabis users themselves, believe that cannabis is relatively harmless and should be legally available,"(see Yucel Research link here)This argument is a straw man.The heavy use of cannabis as characterized by this study [5+ daily joints*356*10yrs] would be the extreme exception in consumption.It would be very difficult to find 15 cannabis only consumers in Australia using at this level.(further) This heavy consumption was occurring in a context of absolute prohibition, clear evidence of policy 'efficacy' failure being so predicated on zero tolerance of any harm.But what do we find? A harm association by a correlation only, and as reported elsewhere - no basis for thinking there is cannabis harm causation other than at sub clinical behavioral measures.Remember the UN cannabis related covenants sanctions billions of dollars annually on police, justice, law, and corrections and maintains a cult...
Cannabis - no threat. Very relevant to NZ Law Comm. review?
2008-05-31 20:38:00 Small data set but very relevant to NZ Law Comm. drug policy review? It complements the important sociology research paper presented by Geoff Noller at Otago University in early May. STUDY SHOWS MARIHUANA USE NOT A THREAThttp://www.mapinc.org/nor-ml/v08/n541/a11.htm"I would argue that it is the prohibition of marihuana that actually leads to crime," he said. "Not that there aren't any cases where someone is inebriated and in such a state that they aren't thinking clearly and do things that normally they wouldn't do, but that is the same with alcohol. If you look at it, the drug that is most highly correlated with crime, particularly violent crime, is alcohol. And no one is calling for that to be criminalized." .... snip...."Although these findings are not generalizable given the small sample size, if they are corroborated by further ethnographic research there may be a compelling reason to reconsider present laws that prohibit marihuana use and treat recreational marihuana users a...

The work, to be published in the August edition of the journal Addiction also dispels the image of ice and speed users as young, wealthy party-goers. "That's something which people have speculated on for decades and decades - that there was some progression in the way in which young people are introduced to drugs. You start with tobacco and alcohol, move to cannabis, once you feel comfortable with the former, once you feel comfortable with cannabis, you're more likely to move onto other drugs. And that's certainly the progression that we found with amphetamine use," one of...

Pro-cannabis protest held in peace, man
2008-05-01 18:49:00 Police made no arrests at a pro-cannabis protest in Invercargill yesterday — despite a cannabis plant being in plain view and supporters openly smoking the drug.A police officer at the scene, next to the Cenotaph in Dee St, read the Misuse of Drugs Act but after talking with the protesters did not act on it.Protest co-ordinator Dakta Green said it was the group's most heated exchange with police on its nationwide protest tour but was pleased it had not gone further. "It was a perfectly reasonable and responsible thing for the Invercargill police to do — this is a peaceful political protest and they did right to step back and withdraw." There had been two arrests on the tour, in Palmerston North on Good Friday, for cannabis use.Senior Sergeant Olaf Jensen, of Invercargill, said police didn't undertake the search for operational reasons.Southland area commander Inspector Tony O'Neill said the group's aim was to provoke a reaction — which police were not going to give it.He a...

The metabolites are the left overs, the residual chemical structure from the active ingredient.
