Marijuana News Online: California Legalizes Medical Use Of Pot

 

As marijuana usage continues to grow across the country, and despite recent attempts to legalize the drug, marijuana related stories continue to dominate the news. From high cost rehab centers to new medical treatment options to legal protection from arrest, many issues are being addressed as states move closer to fully legalizing marijuana. However, marijuana is not the only type of cannabis that causes problems. In fact, recent reports have indicated that cannabis use may have a negative impact on brain development in children. Here is what you need to know.

Many medical cannabis dispensaries have recently been significantly impacted as a result of cannabis news online coverage, Marijuana Moment, national marijuana dispensary chain, MedMen, was temporarily closed down by June 1st, after a number of their retail stores were robbed, as well as local independent operators and cultivators who were targeted as they did business on their sidewalks. With the loss of retail store sales, and the drop in wholesale prices that retail customers were paying for marijuana flower buds, many medical cannabis businesses found that they had to close their doors for the time being. The unfortunate effects of this news has been an increase in interest in the cannabis industry and local business owners who are opening new medical cannabis shops. However, with some research it should be noted that despite the loss of retail stores and storefronts, the cannabis industry as a whole has continued to experience a steady increase in sales, and local business owners have reported that the amount of cannabis they have taken on as personal business, has more than covered their losses during the recent turmoil.

Despite the negative press that the cannabis industry has been receiving over the past two months, there has been no mention on any major news stations or networks that the cannabis flower bud, cannabis plant and cannabis oil, is scheduled to become illegal in the United States one day. Although, there is word that the federal government will not reclassify marijuana at this time, and that the Controlled Substances Act will remain on the books as a criminal offense. It is believed that the Controlled Substances Act, which makes it illegal to have any kind of "levying" of the financial or personal property of anyone, will be reclassified as a Schedule II drug. This means that it will be illegal for individuals to buy marijuana, even as home grown.

In June, a new bill was introduced in the United States Congress, that seeks to legalize marijuana. The Controlled Substances Import and Export Act of 1990 is scheduled to be deleted from the books of the United States Federal Government, according to a recent article in ข่าวกัญชาออนไลน์. The bill, called the Marijuana Enforcement Act, seeks to remove marijuana from the controlled substances list, making it a regulated substance. It would create a legitimate marketplace for online suppliers who wish to offer medical marijuana to consumers in other states, who would then be able to legally purchase marijuana from these online sources. Marijuana Legalization is seen as a way to help those who are suffering from chronic pain from injuries sustained in a car accident, or other type of injury.

According to Marijuana News Online, some members of the Senate and House of Representatives have introduced bills that would reclassify the state of Colorado's law as recreational marijuana use, rather than medical marijuana use. Medical marijuana users in thirty-two states can now legally grow, cultivate and sell their own medicine, without being arrested by the state. The proposed legislation would allow state revenue to be generated by taxing marijuana users, rather than taxing commercial businesses that hire people to sell pot at retail stores.

In late June, the Marijuana Lobby in the United States filed a lawsuit against the Drug Enforcement Administration and the National Drug Administration. The suit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, claims that the Bush Administration has been trying to interfere with the states' lawful marijuana use laws. The Bush Administration's lawyers claim that the current Controlled Substances Act (CSA) makes it illegal for states to prohibit the cultivation, possession and consumption of medical marijuana. Marijuana is considered a Schedule I drug, which has "no accepted medicinal use." But the plaintiffs argue that the Bush Administration has exceeded the power conferred upon the states by the CSA. They are asking the court to vacate the portions of the CSA that prohibit interstate trafficking and enjoin the federal government from attempting to criminalize medical use of marijuana.
