Leafs before

using marijuana as an adult is not associated with mood and anxiety

disorders including depression and bipolar disorder according to a new

study published yesterday the research published in the journal of the American

Medical Association psychiatry

challenges some previous studies which claimed an association between marijuana

use and both depression and anxiety scientists examine the records of nearly

35,000 American adults who participated in the National epidemiologic survey on

alcohol and related conditions they looked at the prevalence of cannabis use

among the study's participants in 2001 and 2002 then checked on their rates of

mental health problems three years later 2004 and 2005 after controlling for

confounding factors such as socioeconomic differences family history

environment and past and present psyche I psychiatric disorders reach searchers

found that cannabis use was not associated with increased risk for

developing mood or anxiety disorders the lead author mark Olson of Columbia

University in New York City and his colleagues think that some prior

evidence of supposed links between marijuana and psychiatric disorders

could be due more to confounding factors that actual connection

the research is quote a strike against the hypothesis that cannabis use cause

its mood and anxiety disorders in quote according to Keith Humphreys a

specialist in addiction and mental health at Stanford University the study

did find an association between cannabis use and later substance use disorders

such as dependence on alcohol tobacco and other drugs people who use one

substance often use others as in the classic beer and a cigarette combo

according to Olufsen he said quote the findings concerning cannabis raised the

question

alcohol use also contributes to the risk of subsequent substance use disorders in

quote but he added that's beyond the scope of this current study the new

study adds to the previous research debunking the supposed connection

between marijuana and mental health disorders

much of the United States federal government's literature on cannabis

includes erroneous claims about links between marijuana and depression which

are downright inaccurate in view of the latest findings in its 2014 publication

the dangers and consequences of marijuana abuse the Federal Drug

Enforcement Administration mentions depression no fewer than four steam

times falsely claiming that cannabis is linked to depression among teens adults

and even dogs the tragedy is that these inaccurate documents are often used as

the basis of a federal drug policy which locks people out for possessing cannabis

a harmless plant and shuts off safe access to a medicine that could help

hundreds and thousands maybe millions of patients across the river in washington

stay in washington state's marijuana legalization law I 502 passed in 2012

didn't take long until folks figured out it's the most badly written legalization

law yet passed it so badly written in fact that under this report early

progressive legislation it's a felony to pass a joint your significant other ppl

Washington apparently didn't read the damn thing before they passed I 502

seemingly not make it past legalization and thinking how bad could that be it

now falls upon the hapless Washington legislature to fix the mess and that's

pretty damn scary to anyone who knows just how clueless it is and that body of

lawmakers when it comes to cannabis but they get points for trying at least when

it comes to the sharing issue Washington's house bill 2494 an act

relating to penalties for marijuana offenses on Monday past the Washington

house 73 224 and has been referred to committee in the Senate the bill would

finally allow adults 21 and older to share up to half an ounce of cannabis

flowers eight ounces of infused edibles and 36 ounces

infuse drink without being guilty of a felony we hope the senate passes over in

europe into in Germany the administration of fda-approved synthetic

THC your travel all marinol induces death and leukemia cell lines and offers

a low toxic their option for patients with cancer according to findings

published online in the journal BMC cancer German researchers evaluated the

impact to trap and all on leukemia cells investigators reported that synthetic

THC display quote remarkable antiproliferative as well as Pro app

atopic efficacy cause cell death in a broad spectrum of acute leukemia cell

lines in quote these findings provide a promising rationale for the clinical use

of cannabinoids in distinct entities of acute leukemia the authors concluded

preclinical data dating back over four decades it's consistently documented the

ability of various cannabinoids to halt the spread of cancer cells in laboratory

settings in 2011 the website for the USA National Cancer Institute cancer dot gov

publicly acknowledged the anticancer properties of cannabinoids posting quote

cannabinoids appear to kill tumor cells but do not affect their non transform

counterparts in may even protect them from cell death in the practice of

integrative oncology the healthcare provider may recommend medicinal

cannabis not only for symptom management but also for its possible direct

antitumor effect in quote language was removed from the website a little over a

week later because the federal interference however this study dropping

appears in cerebral vascular disease now up in Montreal Canada cannabinoids are

safe and effective in the treatment of chronic pain conditions according to a

recent review of clinical trials published online ahead of print in the

Canadian Journal of anesthesia Vesta Gators at the University of Montreal

Department of Anesthesiology evaluated the results of 26 clinical trials of

good or excellent quality involving 1364 subjects trials to assess the use of

various types of cannabinoid preparations including herbal cannabis

liquid in oral cannabis extracts and synthetic cannabinoid agents in pain

they concluded quote overall the recent literature supports the idea that

currently available cannabinoids are modestly effective analgesic that

provide a safe reasonable therapeutic option for managing chronic non-cancer

related pain and possibly cancer-related pain as well

quote their conclusion mimics that of 2015 systemic review published in the

journal new road immune pharmacology that reported quote cannabinoids are

cannabis considerations for the anesthesiologist in pain physician

appears in this month's edition of the Canadian Journal of anaesthesia a lot of

medical stories tonight now we're gonna go over to Jack credit is waiting in the

wings ready to play some use of marijuana but I call it cannabis and

it's much more than the tree of life

related songs every we welcomed viewers well from caspar

to say hey it is the 19th of February and if you're watching us on Friday the

19th you can call us 50 3288 4442 that's 50 3288 4442 were also streaming online

at Ustream dot tv if you're watching their you can type something a little

text box area and hopefully we get that translated to a little video screen here

so we can answer your questions on line as well have you been doing casper I am

excited we got a lot of good things going on at the time for him global

broadcasting networks are encouraged people to drop in and check it out we

got all kinds of wonderful music and of course great podcast for you to enjoy

download and share new poll been really busy the Oregon legislators also

considering a bill 1591 that would allow medical club to make numerous other

changes to the medical law last week our show was all clips from a rally back

Monday a week ago when I think there are some great speeches in last week's show

but there's going to be another rally at the state Capitol on the 23rd talking

pet which is a week from Tuesday talking about the arts Tuesday action talking

about the changes and also going in the lobby the legislature the marijuana law

panel joint session they like to you

humorously call it that's what it's really called the Joint Committee on

cannabis and measure 91 implementation they have their Tuesday hearings coming

up on Tuesday as well so it's good chance to get in there and tell the

legislators who in charge of drafting these laws what you think about their

changes how we need to protect medical marijuana and how we need to realize

that marijuana is not alcohol

you know it doesn't deserve to be treated like alcohol no one dies from

marijuana like they die from alcohol and the most dangerous thing about marijuana

are the laws against it so we are due to get down there right to state

legislators and support this if you're across the river in washington support

that senate bill that will allow candidates to be shared as well plus

alcohol on so many different levels is just damaging to your body . that's true

liver kidneys your eyes your brain cells were also your blood pressure even in

the number of days that you might stay on this planet whereas utilizing

Canada's helps you so many different ways including for most people probably

increasing longevity

well that was one of the things I learned from Jack here I thought was

really most amazing I didn't believe it when he first said he did he said that's

an outrageous thing to say people who smoked marijuana and cigarettes with an

average of seven years longer than people who just both cigarettes at

people who smoke marijuana and nothing else but a live longer than people who

smoke nothing and as jack pointed out because it cuts back on high blood

pressure diseases like stroke and heart attack and putting up with your

relatives in reading about congress stress strain I oxidant too so it helps

cut down on cancer like several stories we have the first part of a show right

you know we are taking your phone calls tonight we have a couple caller standing

by

so we're going to take all welcome the show caller

appreciate everything that you've done was like my question is I read an

article about treating blood might prove to you that I told him he could talk

about that are our Portland outdoor garden had an early infestation abroad

mice and help me figure out what they were

we treated them and knocked them out about two to three weeks into the flour

cycle but it cut our production of flowers by about 50% fortunately we

haven't figured it out you know we would have had any flowers at all but they're

awful little things they're microscopic you need a six-year power microscope to

be able to see them even so what I noticed at first were the the pistols

the little hairs on the the but flowers growing they were just brown instead and

that was really the first Sinai I had at the plus then there was this cutting of

the leaves where the Leafs didn't show the spot old thing that you get with it

with red spider mite which you can barely see with your eyes but these are

just microscopic little bugs awful you know i i intend to use it

activating early added compost to your situation

activate was not enough activate will will wipe out mold and mildew but it

didn't help with the found this other clean green another biological control

that that finally ended up are you human compost heap of that now just clean

green

ok yeah I think something like that happening need my phone was doing before

I thought so teachers how ya there you like I said you can't possibly see them

with your I yeah you can't even see them with the 20 power microscope

magnification you gotta go to a sixty power magnification if you want to see

him very well you need something even stronger than that will help

hey you're welcome hopefully you don't have a friend of mine in central organ

called them cannabis ebola and so I was at a loss as to what was causing this

this problem with our our flower crops here in Portland fortunately we didn't

see it in our other guards we have another caller standing by welcome to
