I can understand that the government wants to boost the economy following the pandemic and to gain popularity for the approaching general election. Somehow, the idea to partly legalise the drug places a lot of burden on the law enforcers to make quick decisions, in much the same way as the PDPA (personal data protection law) that is still being criticised by members of the public due to its lack of clarity, such as the use of CCTV in public places, the personal information collected by various search engines. According to my research from several news agencies and the authorities’ websites, T ..read more

Scientists find little evidence to show cannabis oils help end pain, according to major study – Daily Mail

 Trendy cannabis-based products that have become a £700 million-a-year business in the UK do not appear to alleviate pain, according to a major US study. Over the past decade there has been a boom in sales of oils, sprays and ointments containing cannabidiol (CBD) – one of the main active ingredients in cannabis but which does not produce the ‘high’ associated with the Class B drug. Many adverts for CBD products imply health benefits, including pain relief, although as almost all are classed as food supplements, makers are banned from making explicit claims. But researchers, in a study ba ..read more

According to a study published in Scientific Reports, a team of researchers at the University of New Mexico observed 146 healthy university students between the ages of 18 to 25. Each young adult underwent a series of psychological assessments and questionnaires as scientists analysed their ‘moral foundations’.

The Unintended Consequence of Trying to Give Black Marijuana Entrepreneurs a Head Start – POLITICO

The biggest change in the new ordinance: It reserved dispensary and consumption lounge licenses for “equity” applicants, rather than “legacy” applicants. Equity applicants were defined as individuals residing in a community with a higher rate of marijuana arrests than Michigan’s median and where at least 20 percent of the population have incomes below the federal poverty threshold. But critics said the change merely amounted to using different terminology to establish a similarly discriminatory licensing structure. Once again, almost immediately, the city got sued. This time, however, the pla ..read more

Brazil court approves home grown cannabis for medical use

1y ago
A five-judge panel of the country’s Superior Court of Justice unanimously agreed that the three patients can grow cannabis and extract its oil for use in pain relief. Brazilian law currently limits the medical use of marijuana-derived products to imported goods. Brazil’s health ministry is yet to regulate home cultivation of cannabis for medical use, which puts anyone doing it at the risk of arrest. Judge Rogério Schietti said the top court’s panel acted because the government had failed to take a scientific position on the issue. “The discourse against this possibility is moralist ..read more

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland says that the Justice Department is “examining” marijuana policy and will be addressing the issue “in the days ahead.” The comments come in response to one of several questions that Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) submitted to the nation’s top prosecutor as a follow-up to a congressional hearing that was held in April. The senator wanted to know whether DOJ intended to reissue Obama-era guidance to federal prosecutors on cannabis enforcement priorities, which generally urged discretion in marijuana cases in states and territories where the plant is legal, that wa ..read more
