Marijuana
laws in Ann Arbor, Michigan - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (INF) During the last thirty years, the
college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan has enacted some of the most lenient laws
on marijuana possession in the United States. These include measures approved
in a 1972 city-council ordinance, a 1974 voter referendum making possession of
small amounts of the substance merely a civil infraction subject to a small
fine, and a 2004 referendum on the use of medical marijuana. However, the
far-stricter state laws are still enforced on University of Michigan property,
even within the city of Ann Arbor. ....

Legal and medical
status of cannabis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Cannabis is in Schedule
IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special
restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV
drugs:
A Party shall, if in its opinion
the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means
of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production,
manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug
except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research
only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to
the direct supervision and control of the Party.
This provision, while apparently
providing for the limitation of cannabis to research purposes only, also seems
to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official
Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make
that judgment in good faith. Visit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_and_medical_status_of_cannabis

medical pot-use measures are Ann Arbor, Detroit, Ferndale and Traverse City.

Feature: Medical Marijuana Gets a Hearing in Michigan
(NEWs {Issue #463, 12/1/06}, Org {from Drug War Chronicle}) The medical
marijuana issue came to the Michigan statehouse for the first time ever this
week. In Lansing on Tuesday, the state House Government Operations Committee
held a hearing where medical marijuana patients, advocates, and supporters were
given the floor -- and they came from across the state and the country to do
just that. The hearing was tied to
5740, a bill that would allow people with 'debilitating medical conditions' to
use marijuana without fear of arrest, which was introduced by Rep. LaMar
Lemmons III and now has eight cosponsors. But with the legislative session just
two weeks away from ending, the hearing will lead to no action this year. Visit:

REVIEW OF HUMAN STUDIES ON MEDICAL USE OF MARIJUANA
by Dale H. Gieringer, Ph.D. (INF {Article, August 1996}, Org {California NORML, 2215-R Market St. #278, San
Francisco CA 94114 * (415) 563-5858 / canorml@igc.apc.org } ) SUMMARY: HUMAN
STUDIES ON MEDICAL USES OF MARIJUANA.
There have been hundreds of studies on the medical uses of cannabis
since its introduction to western medicine in the early nineteenth century. A review of the literature
reveals over 65 human studies, most of them in the
1970's and early 80's. * The best established medical use of smoked marijuana is as
an anti-nauseant for cancer chemotherapy. Marijuana's
efficacy was demonstrated in studies by
half a dozen states, involving hundreds of
subjects. Most
research has found smoked marijuana superior to oral THC (Marinol). Many oncologists are currently recommending
marijuana to their patients. Visit: http://www.marijuana.org/DalesReport.html
California Cannabis Research Medical Group (CCRMG) | Implementation of the
Compassionate Use Act In a Family Medical Practice: Seven Years' Clinical Experience, By Frank H. Lucido, MD, with Mariavittoria Mangini,
PhD, FNP. Clinical medicine, as I have
experienced it during a quarter century of practice, is a constantly evolving
system. Every practitioner has a different approach to gathering clinical
information, diagnostic reasoning and therapeutic decision making. There is rarely a single correct way to care
for patients. Instead, there is usually a wide variety of acceptable
approaches, any of which may be appropriate in a given situation1. (Goldberg,
2002b). Visit - http://www.ccrmg.org/journal/04spr/medicalpractice.html
