From: Amos SAN DIEGO COURTS — A Navy veteran who was the manager of a medical marijuana dispensary was acquitted of five charges of possessing and selling the drug illegally yesterday, a verdict that emboldened medical marijuana activists and was a setback for San Diego prosecutors who have aggressively pursued medical marijuana cases. Jovan Jackson blinked, began to sigh, then started to weep as the court clerk in San Diego Superior Court Judge Cynthia Bashant's courtroom ticked off one "not guilty" verdict after another on the possession and sales of marijuana charges he faced. Jackson was convicted of possessing the drugs Ecstasy and Xanax, however. Those charges were not the focus of the case, and he likely will not spend time in prison for them. After the trial, which began Nov. 20, the jury foreman said that the ambiguity and lack of clarity in California's medical marijuana law tipped the balance in favor of Jackson. Ed Fowler said the law is unclear on the definition of a collective or cooperative, so the panel had to find Jackson not guilty. Jackson, 31, was the manager of the Answerdam Alternative Care in Kearny Mesa. San Diego prosecutors alleged that instead of dispensing medicine, Jackson was in the business of illegally selling the drug for profit. Prosecutor Chris Lindberg argued that the dispensary sold marijuana to anyone who came in. San Diego police conducted undercover purchases in June and July of last year. One detective paid a $20 membership fee and provided a doctor's recommendation but signed up with a false name. At the trial, Jackson's lawyer, Lance Rogers, argued that the dispensary complied with the law, requiring members to have a doctor's recommendation to use the drug and sign a membership agreement. The jury deliberated about a day before reaching its verdict. Perry Wright, another juror, said afterward that clarifying the state's medical marijuana law is needed if there are to be more prosecutions. "If you are going to hold someone to the law, you have to define that law," Wright said. Medical marijuana activists said the verdict should send a message to District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis about bringing more cases and to local law enforcement that has orchestrated raids on cooperatives. "I hope today this sends a signal that this has to stop," said Donna Lambert, a medical marijuana patient who was in the courtroom for the verdict and supported Jackson. |

WTF was the cop smokin? Pretty sad day when an ill person who could benefit from a CHEAP drug is denied access to it. As far as that other stuff, Ecstasy and Xanax (never even heard of Xanax) I can't comment as I really don't know much about the stuff. |

10 Dec 09 - 11:19 AM (#2785404) Subject: RE: BS: Pot U... From: Amos Marijuana might cause new cell growth in the brain * 22:00 13 October 2005 by Kurt Kleiner A synthetic chemical similar to the active ingredient in marijuana makes new cells grow in rat brains. What is more, in rats this cell growth appears to be linked with reducing anxiety and depression. The results suggest that marijuana, or its derivatives, could actually be good for the brain. In mammals, new nerve cells are constantly being produced in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is associated with learning, memory, anxiety and depression. Other recreational drugs, such as alcohol, nicotine and cocaine, have been shown to suppress this new growth. Xia Zhang of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, and colleagues decided to see what effects a synthetic cannabinoid called HU210 had on rats' brains. They found that giving rats high doses of HU210 twice a day for 10 days increased the rate of nerve cell formation, or neurogenesis, in the hippocampus by about 40%. Just like Prozac? A previous study showed that the antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) also increases new cell growth, and the results indicated that it was this cell growth that caused Prozac's anti-anxiety effect. Zhang wondered whether this was also the case for the cannabinoid, and so he tested the rats for behavioural changes. When the rats who had received the cannabinoid were placed under stress, they showed fewer signs of anxiety and depression than rats who had not had the treatment. When neurogenesis was halted in these rats using X-rays, this effect disappeared, indicating that the new cell growth might be responsible for the behavioural changes. In another study, Barry Jacobs, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, gave mice the natural cannabinoid found in marijuana, THC (D9-tetrahydrocannabinol)). But he says he detected no neurogenesis, no matter what dose he gave or the length of time he gave it for. He will present his results at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington DC in November. Jacobs says it could be that HU210 and THC do not have the same effect on cell growth. It could also be the case that cannabinoids behave differently in different rodent species - which leaves open the question of how they behave in humans. Zhang says more research is needed before it is clear whether cannabinoids could some day be used to treat depression in humans. |
