Marijuana poised to become legal in Canada July 11, 2011

Pot laws ruled unconstitutional - thestar.com

Excerpt:
An Ontario Superior Court judge has ruled that the federal medical
marijuana program is unconstitutional, giving the government three
months to fix the problem before pot is effectively legalized.


In an April 11 ruling, Justice Donald
Taliano found that doctors across the country have “massively
boycotted” the medical marijuana program and largely refuse to sign off
on forms giving sick people access to necessary medication.


As a result, legitimately sick people
cannot access medical marijuana through appropriate means and must
resort to illegal actions.


Doctors’ “overwhelming refusal to
participate in the medicinal marijuana program completely undermines the
effectiveness of the program,” the judge wrote in his ruling.

Daily Drinking, Marijuana use rise in Ontario, study shows

People in Canada's most populous province are drinking alcohol more often and smoking dope in larger proportions - and psychological distress is more widespread there, according to the latest data from a long-running study of Ontario residents.

These are findings from surveys conducted in 2009, the latest in a series of studies that have been performed since 1977 by the Toronto based Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
Robert Mann, the centre's senior scientist and lead investigator on the study, said it's unclear whether there is a relationship between trends seen in the use of alcohol and cannabis, and feelings of mental well-being. However, he said there could be some connections.

Ontario Court: Marijuana Prohibition is Unconstitutional

The legalized marijuana possession ruling is suspended for three months for the federal government to either fix the Marijuana Medical Access Regulations or appeal his ruling, so don't go stocking up on Doritos and Red Vines just yet.

While the Ontario Superior Court declared, in no uncertain terms, that the prohibition on marijuana prohibition and possession was "constitutionally invalid and of no force and effect", that is only one step towards legalization.

Marijuana Growth in Canada - Legalize It and Tax the Revenue, says Fraser Institute

The cultivation and production of marijuana in British Columbia highlights the problems inherent in the enforcement of laws that are generally ignored by broad sectors of the populace. Some 7.5 percent of all Canadians report they use marijuana currently, and over their lifetimes, 23 percent report themselves as having used marijuana at least once.

Why Canada’s Drug Policy Won’t Check Addiction

"Canada’s anti-drug strategy a failure, study suggests," read the headline of a brief cbc story that circulated through a handful of news outlets before dying out early this year. The British Columbia Centre for Excellence in hiv/aids had just published a paper revealing that almost three-quarters of the $368 million allocated to Canada’s Drug Strategy in 2004 2005 was spent on enforcement initiatives aimed at staunching the supply of drugs. The authors pointed out that despite this war on drugs, the rate of consumption was higher than ever: in 2002, 45 percent of Canadians reported having used illicit drugs in their lives, up from 28.5 percent in 1994.

The study advocated that money be directed toward cost-effective, evidence-based prevention, treatment, and harm-reduction programs -- the other three pillars of Canada’s drug policy. But to Bruce Alexander, a psychologist who recently retired after thirty-five years at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, the policy debate is just a distraction. "There’s no drug policy that will have much effect on addiction," he says from his home in Vancouver. "I think that’s one of our diversions: ’If we could just get the drug policy right, we’d solve our addiction problem.’ I don’t think that would touch it. The only way we’ll ever touch the problem of addiction is by developing and fostering viable culture."

Alexander has been delivering this message since the late 1970s, when he ran a series of elegant experiments he calls Rat Park, which led him to conclude that drugs -- even such hard drugs as heroin and cocaine -- do not cause addiction; the user’s environment does. It was a stunning result, one that should have had a seismic effect on drug policy. But, like the report on Canada’s failed drug strategy, Alexander’s research was largely ignored.

Chronic Marijuana Smoking Affects Brain Chemistry, Molecular Imaging Shows

Definitive proof of an adverse effect of chronic marijuana use revealed at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting could lead to potential drug treatments and aid other research involved in cannabinoid receptors, a neurotransmission system receiving a lot of attention. Scientists used molecular imaging to visualize changes in the brains of heavy marijuana smokers versus non-smokers and found that abuse of the drug led to a decreased number of cannabinoid CB1 receptors, which are involved in not just pleasure, appetite and pain tolerance but a host of other psychological and physiological functions of the body.
"Addictions are a major medical and socioeconomic problem," says Jussi Hirvonen, MD, PhD, lead author of the collaborative study between the National Institute of Mental Health and National Institute on Drug Abuse, Bethesda, Md. "Unfortunately, we do not fully understand the neurobiological mechanisms involved in addiction. With this study, we were able to show for the first time that people who abuse cannabis have abnormalities of the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. This information may prove critical for the development of novel treatments for cannabis abuse. Furthermore, this research shows that the decreased receptors in people who abuse cannabis return to normal when they stop smoking the drug."

Cannabis Should Be Decriminalized

I think that Cannabis should be decriminalized because the affects are less harmful then drinking alcohol or taking prescription medication. More people die from alcohol and prescription medication abuse every year rather then from Cannabis, there are no reported deaths from Cannabis alone in over 5000 years of the plant's cultivation.

Cannabis Use May Worsen Sexual Dysfunction, Rat Study Suggests

Rany Shamloul's recent review of the medical literature on cannabis use and sexual health has revealed that cannabis use may negatively impact male sexual performance.

"Cannabis is the most widely-used illicit drug globally," says Dr. Shamloul, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. "It is also often used by young, sexually active people who are unaware of the hazardous effects it may be having on their sexual health and performance."

Recent animal and in vitro studies have identified new negative connections between cannabis use and sexual dysfunction that may put an end to previous controversy.

While it was previously known that cannabis could affect certain receptors in the brain, it's now believed that these receptors also exist in the penis. Cannabis use may have an antagonizing effect on these receptors in the penis, making it more difficult for a man to achieve and maintain an erection.

Study Identifies Novel Role for a Protein That Could Lead to New Treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis

 A new study by rheumatologists at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York has shown that a powerful pro-inflammatory protein, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), can also suppress aspects of inflammation. The researchers say the identification of the mechanism of how this occurs could potentially lead to new treatments for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The study was published May 22 online in advance of publication in the journal Nature Immunology.

"Prior to this study, TNF has long been known as a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, but if you look carefully through the literature, there are hints that it also has some suppressive functions, but nothing was known about the mechanisms," said Lionel Ivashkiv, M.D., associate chief scientific officer and physician in the Arthritis and Tissue Degeneration Program at Hospital for Special Surgery who led the study. "This is really the first mechanism showing how TNF can turn inflammation down."

Because many proteins have homeostatic functions, both driving and suppressing certain actions so a cell can maintain internal equilibrium, researchers thought TNF might not be an exception. "Most strong activators in the immune system trigger a feedback response to restrain the amount of inflammation," Dr. Ivashkiv said.

To find out, researchers designed experiments stimulating macrophages with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a prototypical inflammatory factor that stimulates receptors important in inflammation. In test tube studies, the researchers treated human monocytes and macrophages, cells that have a key role in inflammatory diseases, with TNF and then challenged these cells with LPS. They found that the TNF suppressed the inflammatory response of the macrophages and monocytes. They then gave mice low doses of TNF followed by high doses of LPS and found that the mice were protected from the effects of high dose LPS, which is usually lethal. They discovered that the mechanism by which TNF suppressed the inflammatory response involved a protein known as GSK3 (glycogen synthase kinase 3-alpha) and a gene known as TNFAIP3 that encodes the A20 protein. Experiments with a drug that can inhibit GSK3 as well as experiments with RNA interference of A20, which can block A20 gene function, helped identify the roles of this protein and gene.

A Brief Overview of Marijuana as an Excellent Alternative Medicine

Cannabis indica, cannabis sativa, cannabis americanus, Indian hemp and marijuana (or marihuana) all refer to the same plant. Cannabis is used throughout the world for diverse purposes and has a long history characterized by usefulness, euphoria or evil depending on one’s point of view. Medical professionals in the western world have forgotten almost all they once knew about the therapeutic properties of marijuana, or cannabis.
Analgesia, anti-convulsant action, appetite stimulation, ataraxia, antibiotic properties and low toxicity have been described throughout medical literature. For the most part the therapeutic aspects of cannabis remain to be re-explored under modern clinical conditions. In fact, from 1839 to its removal from availability to physicians in 1937 at least 12 separate therapeutic uses for cannabis were described:

• analgesic-hypnotic
• appetite stimulant
• gastrointestinal sedative
• anti-epileptic
• anti-spasmodic
• prophylactic and treatment of the neuralgias, including migraine and tic douloreuz
• anti-depressant
• tranquilizer
• anti-asthmatic
• oxytocic
• anti-tussive
• topical anesthetic
• withdrawal agent for opiate and alcohol addiction
• childbirth analgesic
• antibiotic

Meanwhile, cannabis continues to be denied to sufferers by the government, despite efficacious preliminary results and entreaties of numerous patients to unresponsive government agencies rationalizing their intransigence by a "we can’t be too careful" stance.

Protein responsible for the Detection of Extreme Heat and Pain Discovered

The protein responsible for the detection of extreme heat and pain resulting from infections has been identified by a team of K.U.Leuven researchers led by Professor Thomas Voets. The protein is a promising target for the development of new analgesic medications.

A rapid pain response to extreme temperatures is of vital importance to prevent being burned by touching a hot object or accidentally swallowing scolding soup, for example. Sensory nerves throughout the body -- including in our skin and mucous membranes -- detect temperature. In people who suffer from certain conditions, such as infections or nerve damage, these nerves become extra sensitive. This sometimes results in oversensitivity to innocuous temperatures and chronic pain.

How Self Esteem Affects Personal Health

It helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle because you enjoy your life more and are a more happy person overall because you feel happy on the inside and once you have that feeling you do not lose it because you love having that feeling, and begin to love life.  

How Individuals, Families and Communities Can Help to Improve Canada's Health Care System



Individuals can help to complete these goals and objectives by learning about how illnesses and diseases spread and how to prevent it. They also need to learn how to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. If they know all these things in the long run it will help Health Canada to improve the health care because more people will not need to attend the hospital for minor things because they will know how when to do without getting help from an emergence room or clinic.

Communities can help by offering more classes at cheaper costs so that they are more available to the general public which would help citizens stop the spread of illnesses and diseases and know what to do if they are faced with a certain illnesses or diseases. Also the community could hold fundraisers and community events to raise money for hospitals to improve the hospital condition or equipment or more staff or whatever they needed to do to improve the quality of the health care being provided.

Families could help to prevent the spread of illnesses and diseases by attending community run first ad classes which would teach not only how to not the spread of diseases and illnesses but also teach people what to do in certain types of emergences. They could help improve the quality of the healthcare by volunteering at events benefiting the hospital or by donating money or even an entire building to the hospital.



Cigarette Smoking and Arsenic Exposure: A Deadly Combination

Arsenic exposure and smoking each elevate the risk of disease. But when combined together, the danger of dying from cardiovascular disease is magnified, a new study finds.

Exposure to high or even moderate levels of the toxin arsenic through drinking water can elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality, according to a new study published in British Medical Journal. Exposed individuals who smoke were hit with a dangerous double whammy: a combined mortality risk that exceeded the influence of either factor alone.

The Best Way Of Getting Into Shape



I think that the overall best and quickest way to get into shape quickly is swimming, because swimming uses all of your body's muscles. Which means that instead of exercising only one part of your body at a time, you can exercise your whole body at once.

I think that if you swim for 30 minutes a day, three times a week it will be equivalent to exercising for 60 minutes, three days times a week.

So if you need to get into shape fast i highly recommend that you try swimming for 30 minutes, three times a week. I think you should try it for your self and receive the benefits.

Heavy Exercise May Produce Asthma-Like Symptoms Even in Healthy Children, Study Finds

You Dont Need To Spend Lots Of Money To Get Into Shape

I know many people think that they need to go to a gym or spend lots of money on exercise equipment, but if you dont want to or you dont have the money then just simply work-out in your garage or at a local park if you live in an apartment without a gym or pool. There are many simple exercise that you can do that are very basic and very affective such exercise as: jogging, push-up, sit ups, pull-ups, crunchs, ect.

It may be difficult at first but if you stick with it for 30 minutes, 3days a week by the second week you will start find that you are able to do with it out becoming tired  as quickly and find that you are able to excise longer if your willing to.

So next time you see a commerical for an exspensive piece of exercise equipment just remeber that you could save that money or do something better with it. Just go outside and enjoy nature, the fresh air and get into shape the simple and natural way.

Smoked Medical Cannabis May Be Beneficial as Treatment for Chronic Neuropathic Pain, Study Suggests

The medicinal use of cannabis has been debated by clinicians, researchers, legislators and the public at large for many years as an alternative to standard pharmaceutical treatments for pain, which may not always be effective and may have unwanted side effects. A new study by McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and McGill University researchers provides evidence that cannabis may offer relief to patients suffering from chronic neuropathic pain.

The results of the groundbreaking study are published in the latest issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

"This is the first trial to be conducted where patients have been allowed to smoke cannabis at home and to monitor their responses, daily," says Dr. Mark Ware, lead author of the study, who is also Director of Clinical Research at the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit at the MUHC and an assistant professor of anesthesia in McGill University's Faculty of Medicine, and neuroscience researcher at the Research Institute of the MUHC.

Medicinal Cannabis Review Highlights Dilemmas Facing Healthcare Professionals

Nurses have a responsibility to respect and support patients who use cannabis for medicinal purposes, but must stay within the law and follow professional guidance at all times, according to a research review in the September issue of the Journal of Clinical Nursing.

Dr Anita Green and Dr Kay De-Vries studied more than 50 published papers, together with professional and Government guidance documents, official reports and media coverage, from 1996 to 2009.

They point out that the fact that the cannabis is usually obtained illegally can have consequences for those who choose to use it for its medicinal value and create real dilemmas for the nurses and other healthcare professionals who care for them. For example, it is vital that any drug use is recorded on the patient's medical records for their own safety, but many patients may be unhappy for that to happen.

Surprising Results From Swimming

So i started swimming about 3 weeks ago, everyday or two because i think that i could be in better physical shape. when i first started swimming i could only swim about 2 or 3 laps before becoming tired but after only the first week i found that i could now swim about 6 - 8 laps before getting tired and my body starting to develop stronger muscles.

By the third week i was able to swim 10-12 laps before getting tired and my body was much stronger and my overall mood and self-esteem has sky-rocked since i started getting into shape. I'm very excited to see what other physical and mental benefits i will receive from being more in shape. Although i do think that that my diet probably dose need work and it is my next goal is to become a more healthier eater, i think ill tackle one thing at a time.

I also just wanted to let you know that i will be up-dating this bi-weekly, so if your interested in seeing the health benefits of swimming then come back read about it, and hopefully you will be inspired like i was to get into shape.

Supplement Produces a 'Striking' Endurance Boost

Research from the University of Exeter has revealed taking a dietary supplement to boost nitric oxide in the body can significantly boost stamina during high-intensity exercise.

The study has important implications for athletes, as results suggest that taking the supplement can allow people to exercise up to 20% longer and could produce a 1-2% improvement in race times.
This comes on the back of previous research from Exeter which showed that the high nitrate content of beetroot juice, which also boosts nitric oxide in the body, has a similar effect on performance.

However, the latest study gets the nitric oxide into the body through a different biological process -- and now the researchers are hoping to find out whether combining the two methods could bring an even greater improvement in athletic performance.

Diet Plus Exercise Is More Effective for Weight Loss Than Either Method Alone

Everyone knows that eating a low-fat, low-calorie diet and getting regular exercise helps shed pounds, but a new study led by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has found that when it comes to losing weight and body fat, diet and exercise are most effective when done together as compared to either strategy alone.

The results of this randomized trial, led by Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Prevention Center and a member of the Hutchinson Center's Public Health Sciences Division, were published online April 14 in Obesity.

The majority of women in the study who both improved their diet and exercised regularly shed an average of nearly 11 percent of their starting weight, which exceeded the study's goal of a 10 percent or more reduction in body weight.

Study Finds Exercise Can Curb Marijuana Use and Cravings

Vanderbilt researchers are studying heavy users of marijuana to help understand what exercise does for the brain, contributing to a field of research that uses exercise as a modality for prevention and treatment.

Participants saw a significant decrease in their cravings and daily use after just a few sessions of running on the treadmill, according to a Vanderbilt study published in the journal PLoS ONE. It is the first study to demonstrate that exercise can reduce cannabis use in persons who don't want to stop.

Twelve study participants -- eight female and four male -- were selected because they met the criteria for being 'cannabis-dependent' and did not want treatment to help them stop smoking pot.

How Marijuana Affects the Way the Brain Processes Emotional Information

Drugs like marijuana act on naturally occurring receptors in the brain called cannabinoid receptors. However, the mechanisms by which these drugs produce their sensory and mood altering effects within the brain are largely unknown. Research led by Steven Laviolette at The University of Western Ontario has now identified a critical brain pathway responsible for the effects of cannabinoid drugs on how the brain processes emotional information.

The findings, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, also help to explain the possible link between marijuana use and schizophrenia.

How Technology Has Impacted People's Personal Health

Technology has affected people’s health in many ways both positive and negative, some of the positive ways that technology has affected people’s health is that technology allowed people to make lots of advancements in the medical world such as medical equipment, cures for illnesses and diseases.

The negative affects of technology is that many of the everyday things we currently use pose some kind of risk to a person’s health like; watching TV., talking on a cell phone, using a computer, using microwaves etc. most of these devices admit radiation poisoning, which can increase the probability of developing some other diseases, mainly different types of cancers. however these diseases are not included in radiation sickness. 

I think that people need to pay more attention to the not only the positive effects that some technology offer and also look into to what any possible health effects could be, also to remember that we should depend on technology because we are humans and we need to live and do things for ourselves. So in the coming years with all the new crazy technology coming out remember not to become depended on it because god forbid something horrible happens and technology is of not use.

In conclusion I think that technology neither good nor bad for someone’s personal health because it can pose a lot of risks to people’s health but it has also helped to save tons of people. So i think that we need to pay more attention to the potential health risks, of the things we now use everyday and to see if there is a way to minimize the risk to a person's health.
