Medical Cannabis Cambodia Association day at the new media center. The first dispensary for med-pot is our goal in this developing nation. FREE ROGER CHRISTIE...etc...

If you would like to know more about the medical uses of cannabis, please run a search for "Granny Storm Crow's MMJ Reference list - July 2010" for 100s of free cannabis articles and studies from reputable sources. Educate yourself! Thank you.

I'm from Germany and I've closely followed the news surrounding this. Germany is not legalizing medical marijuana in the sense of making available the herb in dispensaries or pharmacies or allowing the cultivation by patients, but rather what's happening is very limited and a narrow opening that helps big pharma but is a disgrace to patients' rights:

In short: only cannabis based medications such as Sativex are being legalized. They are a) rescheduling cannabis plant material allowing its handling by manufacturers, and b) rescheduling cannabis based medications/standardized extracts (produced by said manufacturers) allowing doctors to prescribe them to patients (for a very limited range of severe illnesses) using a special narcotics prescription. So no easy access for patients suffering from light to moderate illnesses in the foreseeable future. Plus, at this point it's  entirely unclear whether medical insurance companies will be obliged to cover these medications.

The timing, no surprise, just happens to coincide with Sativex' big roll out in Europe, so it's obvious that the pharma lobby had a hand in this. Or why else would such a move come from a conservative, notoriously backwards thinking government coalition?

That said, it's a step in the right direction after years on inactivtiy on this front. Better than nothing. At least the very sick and dying will be helped in some way for the time being. I hope this small move at least increases acceptance, stirs debate and lays the foundation for further changes in law.

Anything that might push forward the rescheduling of cannabis in the US is OK by me. The legitimized general use of cannabis as a medicine in Europe, whether through the Sativex route, or otherwise, will support the process of normalization here.

This whole thing is stupid.  Let's take a plant flower that works perfectly on its own and turn it into a pill so we can market it as a "legal drug".  It is a PLANT people.  For a Christian government to call a plant illegal is just plain stupid!  Read the bible again, especially about all seed barring plants...

Undeniably feel that that you just described. The perfect justification was over the internet most effective point to bear in mind. I say to you, I surely get frustrated while everyone ponder problems that they clearly don't know on the subject of. You were able to hit the nail upon the top and additionally described out the main aspect without having side-effect, individuals could take a signal. Will probably be back to read more. Regards

I'm so excited with this post. I really appreciate sharing this great post. Keep up your excellent work.

Marijuana is really bad for health but i cant understanding why country like Germany takes risk of this type.
