World's oldest marijuana stash totally busted

[By Jennifer Viegas ]

Nearly two pounds of still-green plant material found in a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert has just been identified as the world's oldest marijuana stash, according to a paper in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany.

A barrage of tests proves the marijuana possessed potent psychoactive properties and casts doubt on the theory that the ancients only grew the plant for hemp in order to make clothing, rope and other objects.

They apparently were getting high too.

Lead author Ethan Russo told Discovery News that the marijuana "is quite similar" to what's grown today.

"We know from both the chemical analysis and genetics that it could produce THC (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, the main psychoactive chemical in the plant)," he explained, adding that no one could feel its effects today, due to decomposition over the millennia.


Russo served as a visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany while conducting the study. He and his international team analyzed the cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China. It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45.

Colorado pot growers gear up for ‘green rush’

[By T.W. Farnam, Published: March 25/Washingpost] 

 

Denver - The pot industry in Colorado is undergoing a massive makeover as it prepares to begin selling marijuana for recreational use legally under state law. Businesses are ramping up production, and trade associations are cleaning up their image, anticipating what could be a billion-dollar industry.

 

But the entrepreneurs who are hoping to cash in on the “green rush” starting next year are struggling with the unique challenges of conducting a business that the federal government considers a crime....

Illinois: House Committee Approves Industrial Hemp Bill

 
 [Source: NORML]

Legislation to legalize the licensed cultivation of industrial hemp, House Bill 2668, has been approved by the Illinois House Agriculture and Conservation Committee in a 9-8 vote. The measure now awaits action from the full House. You can read the full text of House Bill 2668 here.

The United States is the only developed nation that fails to cultivate industrial hemp as an economic crop, according to a 2005 Congressional Resource Service (CRS) report. Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa that contains only minute (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Farmers worldwide grow hemp commercially for fiber, seed, and oil for use in a variety of industrial and consumer products, including food and clothing. House Bill 2668 would allow Illinois to authorize a licensed, statewide hemp industry.

Please use the pre-written letter below to contact your Representative to urge him or her to vote "yes" on HB 2668 and support industrial hemp in Illinois. NORML will keep you updated as this legislation moves forward. You can find further information on this measure from Illinois NORML here.

Legal Cannabis Dispensaries – The Future of Colorado

[March 16, 2013 By Michelle Schmeer]

The legalization of medical marijuana in a number of states over the past few years has been a huge victory, to be sure, but there is still a long way to go as far as marijuana being legalized for recreational use, but not as far as you may think.  Colorado is one of two states to lead the path to legalization and now they are gearing up to get everything situated so that the state can begin to benefit from taking this unprecedented step.  One thing that will have to be worked out is how marijuana can be obtained, which also means working out how it will be sold.  So far it seems that the methods of moving and obtaining will be done through legal cannabis dispensaries, rather than private individual dealers.  This leads to numerous questions as to how and by whom the dispensaries will be run.  And a few of those questions are particularly important to have answered before it comes time to start buying or selling legal marijuana in Colorado.

Minnesota medical marijuana push to wait until 2014

A report issued by Yahoo yesterday that medical marijuana backers have to wait until 2014 session for planned push to change Minnesota law. Hoping the best to Heather Azzi of Minnesotans for Compassionate Care. Medical marijuana bills have been approved in several states in the past and then not implemented by the leadership within that state’s government. Is it unfair or unjust? Do state governments disregard requests and desires from its people?

Minnesota Medical Marijuana push continued...
