Angry telephone calls started coming in to the state Department of Public Safety almost as soon as the June 27 issue of the Hawai'... more -
Austria legalises medicinal cannabis cultivation
Austria's parliament, for the nation’s medical and scientific purposes, has adopted a new bill allowing the cultivation of cannabis. This will, of course, be under the Health Ministry's control.
The bill, approved by parliament during a late-night session Wednesday, will give the health and food safety agency AGES the exclusive right in Austria to grow the plant, which is otherwise categorized as a drug.
Michael Bach, president of the Austrian pain studies association OeSG, welcomed the new legislation, saying: "Any initiative that makes it possible to develop and provide new drugs for pain therapy is welcome."
"Substances drawn from cannabis have been used for medical purposes more and more in the last few years," he added.
Possession of or dealing in cannabis incurs a 6-month prison sentence in Austria. Austria's parliament, for the nation’s medical and scientific purposes, has adopted a new bill allowing the cultivation of cannab... more -
An American pastime: smoking pot - TIME
The Netherlands, with its permissive marijuana laws, may be known as the cannabis capital of the world. But a survey published this month in PLoS Medicine, a journal of the Public Library of Science, suggests that the Dutch don't actually experiment with pot as much as one would expect. Despite tougher drug policies in this country, Americans were twice as likely to have tried marijuana than the Dutch, according to the survey. In fact, Americans were more likely to have tried marijuana or cocaine than people in any of the 16 other countries, including France, Spain, South Africa, Mexico and Colombia, that the survey covered. The Netherlands, with its permissive marijuana laws, may be known as the cannabis capital of the world. But a survey published this mo... more

New "Natural, No-Calorie Sweetener" Hits the Market
Not yet approved by the FDA and considered unsafe by some, the new sweetener is made from "stevia" - a shrub native to Paraguay. It will be marketed as a natural alternative to the array of artificial sweeteners widely available today.
It will be interesting to see if/how consumers react to this new additive. I suppose it will depend on the reaction of health authorities (?) and the media (!) to some degree.

Herb Effective Against Pancreatic Cancer
Nigella sativa (also known as black cumin) may be a potential solution to pancreatic cancer and could be the breakthrough that is needed to solve this complex problem.
This herb is popular across the Middle East and India, and is widely known in those parts to aid in a variety of disorders. From emphysema and asthma, to colic and cancer, this herb has a colorful and storied history that stretches far back in time, even to the Biblical era. With pancreatic cancer being the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in the United States, killing approximately 34,000 people each year, more research needs to be conducted on the effectiveness of this herb in treating this and other cancers. Though more empirical data is needed, Middle-Eastern folklore describes nigella sativa as one of the most potent healing agents, curing a variety of disorders, other cancers, and having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Sometimes, especially in the case of this herb, folklore is more than just exaggerated stories of indigenous peoples; it can actually be useful in everyday life and provide the much needed help that conventional practices do not offer. In fact, according to Arab proverbs, nigella sativa is quoted as having the ability to cure all disease except death. Though its properties in healing all diseases has not been empirically verified, if folklore is going to be a guide to health and wellness, the best herb to start with would be nigella sativa. Nigella sativa (also known as black cumin) may be a potential solution to pancreatic cancer and could be the breakthrough that is need... more -
