We are in the process of launching a new, non-commercial website devoted to telling the truth about medical cannabis/industrial hemp using primary source information. Primary source information is actual studies, actual laws, actual court rulings, pending bills, and other similar information. Other sections will be devoted to patient stories and photos (with all identifying information removed) to put a 'face' to medical cannabis. We'll also have sections of the website devoted to the history of cannabis (medical and industrial), and other useful information.
Our target audience is physicians, lawyers, lawmakers, patients, and the general public who what accurate information and peer reviewed medical articles concerning medical cannabis. Soon you will be able to go to www.justsayKNOW.org for answers to your questions. In the meantime, please see our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/groups/175780269215499/ to contribute a link or see how the site is progressing.

Sharp Limits on L.A. MMJ Businesses Approved
Sharp Limits on L.A. MMJ Businesses Approved
A ballot measure to sharply limit the number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the Los Angeles was approved by voters Tuesday night. The measure won with 62% of the vote, according to the latest results.
Proposition D would reduce the number of pot shops in the city from about 700 now to about 130 by allowing only those that opened before the adoption of a failed 2007 city moratorium on new dispensaries to remain open. A rival initiative, Measure F, which would have allowed an unlimited number of dispensaries to operate, failed. Both measures would raise taxes on medical marijuana sales 20%.
Yami Bolanos, a Proposition D supporter who opened PureLife Alternative Wellness Center in 2006, cried with happiness as[…]

How To Legalize Pot
How To Legalize Pot
THE first time I talked to Mark Kleiman, a drug policy expert at U.C.L.A., was in 2002, and he explained why legalization of marijuana was a bad idea. Sure, he said, the government should remove penalties for possession, use and cultivation of small amounts.
He did not favor making outlaws of people for enjoying a drug that is less injurious than alcohol or tobacco.
But he worried that a robust commercial marketplace would inevitably lead to much more consumption. You don’t have to be a prohibitionist to recognize that pot, especially in adolescents and very heavy users, can seriously mess with your brain.
So I was interested to learn, 11 years later, that Kleiman is leading the team hired to[…]

Michigan Driver Who Uses MMJ Wins Appeal
Michigan Driver Who Uses MMJ Wins Appeal
The Michigan Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that medical marijuana users aren’t automatically breaking the law if they’re caught driving after using the drug.
The court unanimously overturned an appeals court decision in the case of a Grand Traverse County man, Rodney Koon. He was stopped in 2010 for speeding — going nearly 30 mph over the limit. Koon admitted having smoked medical marijuana earlier, and a blood test revealed the drug in his system.
It’s illegal for Michigan drivers to consume marijuana. But the state high court said medical marijuana users have some protection. The court says police must show that a driver actually was “under the influence” of marijuana for a charge to stick.
Michigan voters approved medical use[…]

How Much Will a Legal Marijuana Habit Cost You?
How Much Will a Legal Marijuana Habit Cost You?
If you’re an average pot smoker in Colorado—paying average prices for average-quality marijuana—you can expect to spend around $650 on weed next year. A study conducted by the Colorado Futures Center at Colorado State University aimed to get to the bottom of how much the state can expect to collect in tax revenues now that marijuana is legal. By doing a little extra math, we can get a rough estimate for what the average marijuana enthusiast will spend annually as well.
Researchers estimate that in 2014, 642,772 Colorado residents, or about 12.5% of the state population, will take advantage of pot’s newly legal status. Analysts assumed each person would smoke or otherwise “use” 3.53 ounces of marijuana annually, for a[…]

Americas Coalition Suggests MJ Laws Be Relaxed
Americas Coalition Suggests MJ Laws Be Relaxed
A comprehensive report on drug policy in the Americas released Friday by a consortium of nations suggests that the legalization of marijuana, but not other illicit drugs, be considered among a range of ideas to reassess how the drug war is carried out.
The report, released by the Organization of American States walked a careful line in not recommending any single approach to the drug problem and encouraging “flexibility.”
Prompted by President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia at the Summit of the Americas last year to answer growing dissatisfaction and calls for new strategies in the drug war, the report’s 400 pages mainly summarize and distill previous research and debate on the subject.
But the fact that it gave weight[…]
