Rome |
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]:
4.5 ---
Legislation: Marijuana is illegal, but is tolerated for personal useage. A new law may be passed allowing up to 5 grams of any drug for personal usage
Law enforcement: Cops are very relaxed in italy. They will aproach you if you are smoking in their face, but as long as you're in a crowded piazza, or in your home, they don't care at all. They are too busy flirting with girls and smoking cigarettes.
Where to buy marijuana in Rome: Definitely not campo!!!! That is a good place to score bad stuff.
Santa Maria in Trastevere, and the bar "san Calisto" close bye. look for pierced homeless types, and make eye contact. Remember that they will hook you up, if you pay more.
also, if you go to termini station and walk the streets near by. Find a few moroccans. Many of them have family/friends who dealers. They can give great deals for bigger purchaces.
another reporter added: "San Lorenzo, kind of a student district i suppose. just walk around and keep your eyes open. albanians mostly, shaved head, some tattoed and scary looking, ...
otherwise ask for a place called "trenta-due" (=32) just opposite of the "trenta-tre" (33 i suppose). alternative place, just ask someone, smoking is socially accepted there. be careful though - and nice... "
Rome marijuana prices: Hashish is about 10 euros a gram, but a 10 euro piece ranges from .7 -1.5 grams.
20 euros - 2-3 grams,
50 euros - 6-12 grams,
100 euros - 30-50 grams (look for morrocans for good deals)
weed is not totally worth buying, but it's actually the same price or slightly cheaper
Strains: mostly moroccan hash, but sometimes good zero zero first press kinds of stuff. Also napal, and black afghani too.
Weed is usually homegrown crap, but sometimes I find really nice orenge bud. Well dried and cured.
More information: I have lived here a year now. I recommend making friends, and learning a tiny bit of italian.
if you buy only from the streets it might not be good, but if you get to konw a guy, he can hook you up with what he is smoking.
City Report
An amazing blend of the incredibly ancient and the cutting edge, Rome leaves travellers torn between getting up early in the morning to attempt to see it all or spare some energy for the roaring nightlife. With mid-range drug laws and plenty of supply, tokers can look forward to an excellent selection of bud surrounded by some of the most stunning views and ancient history in Europe.
Olives, grapes and other fruits and vegetables prosper in Italy’s balmy climate -- as does high-quality ganga.
Cultivated all across the countryside – in apartments, greenhouses and in the south, massive
plantations surrounded by sunflowers -- marijuana is easily available, as is imported hash. And locals are partaking along with the tourists. Marco Cappato, a member of the Italian branch of The Transnational Radical Party, estimates up to 7 million Italians smoke pot.
"Italy has a one year mandatory draft and it is common knowledge that an overwhelming majority of the soldiers smoke joints,¨ he said.
Pot -- and hemp -- are also part of Rome’s lengthy history along with the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and Circus Maximus. Hemp ropes and sails were used by Roman ships, Lucilius described its uses in 120 B.C, followed by Pliny the Elder documenting hemp’s preparation and different grades in the first century A.D.
Police may not view pot smoking in quite the same historical perspective, however. According to the Ministry of Health, personal possession has been decriminalized, but if you are caught smoking or in possession of pot or hash you can lose your passport. According to marijuana legalization group NORML, even these penalties are rarely enforced by the Rome police these days.
Distributors -- even those giving smokables away for free -- do face jail time, however.
Not surprisingly, the Vatican is virulently anti-drug use.
"Drug laws should not be liberalized," said Cardinal Silvano Piovanelli. Not smoking up in Vatican-controlled areas is a good idea.
If you are looking for some bud, there are several places in Rome you can head for a hook-up.
The Spanish Stairs are a highly recommended buying spot, according to Joe from Seattle.
The intricate staircase -- a wildly popular tourist hangout, with tourist prices on everything – leads from Piazza di Spangna to the Irinita dei Monti church, is close to the Spagna metro stop. Circus Maximus -- once an arena that could seat 300,000 for thrilling chariot races -- is another excellent choice for smokers looking for a little green.

Italy: New national and regional laws facilitate the medical use of cannabis-based medicines |
On 23 January the Federal Ministry of Health issued a decree for the introduction of plant-based medicinal cannabis drugs (substances and herbal preparations, including extracts and tinctures) into the unified law on narcotics (Table II, Section B, law 309/90). So far, cannabis was considered to be devoid of therapeutic properties and only THC was accepted as a medicinal drug.
In 2012 the regional parliaments of Tuscany, Liguria, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia had already approved similar laws with broad political support, aimed at facilitating the use of drugs based on natural and synthetic cannabinoids available abroad and imported into Italy. Through the regional healthcare system these medications are intended to be distributed free of charge by hospitals to patients. Currently there are talks on how the regional laws should be implemented and on the medical conditions, for which these medicines may be used.

Science/Animal: Cannabigerol effective in experimental inflammatory bowel disease |
Cannabigerol (CBG), a non-psychotropic cannabinoid, was effective in a mouse model of colitis. It reduced nitric oxide production in macrophages and reduced formation of free radicals in cells of the intestine. Authors concluded that “CBG could be considered for clinical experimentation in IBD [inflammatory bowel disease] patients.”

Legal cannabis: Benedetto, I have a present for you
|
Dear Benedetto (Della Vedova), thank you for the great job you are doing with the Parliamentary Intergroup for legal cannabis. Thanks to all the 250 MPs and Senators who signed the bill. Thank you (and Carmelo Palma) for involving me and for recalling the Radical campaigns on this issue for over forty years.
I have a present for you and the 250 subscribers of the bill: it is sent to you by Andrea Trisciuoglio, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and is being cured with medicinal cannabis since years, while fighting at the same time to ensure that these drigs are effectively accesible to all those who could benefit from them. Andrea, Secretary of the Cannabis Social Club LapianTiamo, sends you the sachets you find in the picture, to make sure that the parliamentary times adopted for this debate are swift.
Will you plant them? I don't know and maybe it is not that important, even though it could be world news. I do ask you to take them with you, to remember that for the patients and the victims of this blind prohibitionism - provoking immeasurable suffering on the side of the citizens and abnormally large revenues for criminal and mafia organizations - the time that goes by without concrete results may become cause for despair.
May the force be with you!

Cannabis: new civil disobedience with Rita Bernardini on Piazza Duomo in Florence
|
Saturday afternoon the Florentine radical association "Andrea Tamburi" held a demonstration in front of the Presidency of the Tuscan Region at Piazza Duomo in Florence to ask the Institutions to provide sick people with the possibility of self-cultivation of cannabis for therapeutic purposes.
In this regard, the Secretary of Radicali Italiani Rita Bernardini, who attended the demonstration, started a new civil disobedience action by planting some cannabis plants and by "instigating" the other participants to take part in the initiative. The invite was positively received by Regional Councillor Tommasso Fattori (Sì Toscana) who took some seeds at the demonstration with the promise of growing them in his institutional office.

Italian party holds sit-in for marijuana - United Press International - Published: Nov. 9, 2012 |
ROME, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Italy's Radical Party called a sit-in for Friday in front of the parliament building in Rome to demand the decriminalization of medical marijuana cultivation.
Rita Bernardini, a member of Parliament from the Radical Party, carried marijuana plants and handed out "samples" cultivated from her home in Rome at Friday's "Cannabis: Italy calling the U.S." protest in front of the Palazzo Montecitorio, ANSA reported.
"I received a lot of advice like the correct sun exposure, the type of fertilizer used for flowering ... and the result is great," Bernardini said.
The sit-in was organized after the U.S. states of Colorado and Washington voted Tuesday to legalize marijuana for medical and recreational purposes.

The Plant, the Whole Plant and nothing but the Plant
Friday, January 16th, 2009
Although not the first such study, researchers in Milano, Italy, recently presented a study on whole plant extracts of Cannabis formulations to treat neuropathic pain. If you’d like to read the study, please see the reference at the end of this blog.
After reading the results, researchers learned that extracting a single active ingredient from cannabis does not produce the ends desired. This is one more well designed, although “rat-based”, study encouraging us to realize that including all genetic variations of the whole plant in medications will probably produce better and safer drugs than extracting one cannabinoid at a time.
Researchers might not be achieving the effects they desire, but this might be the result of ignorance in the knowledge of manipulating cannabinoids, or it might be that the whole plant is in fact “the medicine”. Certainly the ratio of the various cannabinoids in different strains will greatly vary, but at the very least we can say that overall, cannabis is an extremely safe medication.

N.J. Senate approves medical marijuana bill -
Monday, December 15, 2008 |
TRENTON BUREAU:
A Senate committee today cleared a measure that would allow medical use of marijuana in New Jersey.
The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee voted to approve the long-stalled bill by a 6 to 1 margin; two senators abstained.
The bill calls for creating “alternative treatment centers” where people with chronic and terminal diseases would be allowed access to marijuana. Supporters say marijuana is a viable treatment option to alleviate pain in many cases.
“It is the definition of basic human decency that we do whatever we can to ease the pain and suffering of people living with severe chronic and terminal diseases,” said bill sponsor Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union.
“When all other avenues of currently-approved pain relief have been exhausted, we need to give doctors the freedom to prescribe medical marijuana to give their patients a measure of comfort and dignity in the face of their debilitating diseases. This bill is about the most humane, compassionate option for those state residents who have nowhere else to turn in managing their illnesses.”
If ultimately approved by the full Legislature and signed by Governor Corzine, New Jersey would be the 14th state to allow medical use of marijuana.

A new study entitled Marijuana Effectiveness as an HIV Self-Care Strategy, which was released this past weekend in Clinical Nursing Research, indicates that persons living with HIV/AIDS rate cannabis as more effective in treating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, and neuropathy than other prescription and over the counter medications.
The study, which was conducted over a two year period and included 775 patients from the USA, Africa, and Puerto Rico, assessed the use of cannabis as a symptom management approach for anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy. 27% of survey participants reported using cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Researchers wrote that cannabis use “was rated slightly more effective than antidepressants for anxiety and depression, Imodium for diarrhea, [over the counter] (OTC) medications for fatigue, and anti-epileptics and OTC medications for neuropathy” while cannabis was rated “slightly less effective for nausea than either prescribed or OTC medications.” Authors concluded that cannabis “is perceived by users as at least as effective as prescribed medications in symptom management.”

Italian Police Find Huge Cannabis Plantation In Railroad Tunnel,
Drug Dogs Pulled From Tunnel In A Swoon
By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ in Global, Growing
Tuesday, August 14, 2012
|
It's always the smell. Tipped off by the dankness emanating from a suburban street, Italian police discovered a huge subterranean cannabis grow operation in an old railroad tunnel originally built by Benito Mussolini.
The cops in Rome seized what they claimed was 340 kilos of marijuana, and they claimed it was worth three million euros ($3.7 million) on the street, reports Tom Kington of The Guardian. The grow-op was hidden behind a legal mushroom-growing business at the entrance of the tunnel; a fake wall had been built with revolving breeze blocks to conceal the plants.
When police climbed a ladder and looked over a makeshift wall at the back of the mushroom farm, they said they discovered a 43,000-square-foot tunnel housing the growing cannabis.
Police drug dogs were pulled, swooning, from the tunnel as the smell of a thousand marijuana plants became too much for them. "The high temperatures recently probably made the smell more intense," speculated one cop.

Italy Relaxes Cannabis Laws - a stoner's perspective
by Richard Owen, Times Online (UK), 6/27/06
|
Boosted by its overwhelming victory in the referendum on devolution yesterday, the centre-left Government of Romano Prodi has moved to dismantle yet another legacy of the Berlusconi era by overturning its “zero tolerance” drugs policy.
The change will restore the distinction between “hard” and “soft” drugs, and will increase the amount of cannabis a person can possess without being arrested as a suspected dealer.
Paolo Ferrero, the Welfare Minister, who is a Communist, said he would ask Parliament to repeal the “zero tolerance” policy and re-establish the distinction between hard and soft drugs. The emphasis would be on
“prevention rather than punishment” and “treatment and rehabilitation rather than repression”. This would help to fight illegal drug-dealing by the Mafia, Signor Ferrero said.

TOP COURT IN MARIJUANA FLAP
(ANSA) - Rome, January 14 - Italy`s top court caused a
flap on Wednesday when it said it was OK to grow marijuana as
long as people didn`t let it get big enough to have any of
the drug in it yet.
Overturning the conviction of a Marche man caught with
23 small plants in 2003, the Cassation Court said police
should only step in when there was a concrete threat.
Politicians pounced on the verdict, with Isabella
Bertolini of the ruling People of Freedom (PdL) party saying:
``The Cassation judges really seem to be living on
another planet. The next thing they`ll do is have the police
take gardening courses to be sure of intervening when the
plant is getting dangerous``.
PdL Senate whip Maurizio Gasparri said: ``They`ve got to
be kidding. Who knows, someday they might grow up
themselves``.

Pot Compounds Reduce Multi-Drug Resistant Infections, Study Says Cannabinoids Show “Exceptional” Antibacterial Activity Against MRSA -
August 28, 2008 - Novara, Italy:
Novara, Italy: The administration of natural plant cannabinoids can significantly reduce the spread of drug-resistant bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (aka MRSA), according to preclinical data to be published in the Journal of Natural Products.
Investigators at Italy's Universita del Piemonte Orientale and Britain's University of London, School of Pharmacy assessed the antibacterial properties of five cannabinoids - THC, CBD (cannabidiol), CBG (cannabigerol), CBC (cannabichromine), and CBN (cannabinol) - against various strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA.
"All compounds showed potent antibacterial activity," authors determined. Researchers noted that cannabinoids showed "exceptional" antibacterial activity against EMERSA-15 and EMERSA-16, the major epidemic MRSA strains occurring in UK hospitals.
Authors concluded:
"Although the use of cannabinoids as systemic antibacterial agents awaits rigorous clinical trials, … their topical application to reduce skin colonization by MRSA seems promising. … Cannabis sativa … represents an interesting source of antibacterial agents to address the problem of multidrug resistance in MRSA and other pathogenic bacteria."
According to a 2007 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, MRSA is responsible for more than 18,500 hospital-stay related deaths each year.

Italy approves new marijuana law
By Christian Fraser
BBC News, Rome
Statistics show a third of Italian teenagers have tried marijuana
The Italian government has approved a law that increases sanctions against people who smoke marijuana, putting the drug on a par with cocaine and heroin.
Under the new legislation, people found in possession of cannabis could risk having their passport and their driving licence suspended.
The government has forced through this new legislation with a confidence vote.
The move has been greeted mostly with dismay by opposition MPs and drug treatment professionals.
Under the new rules, dealing and trafficking in drugs - whether heroin, cocaine or cannabis - will be punished with jail sentences of between six and 20 years and a fine of up to 260,000 euros (£180,000).
People who ignore repeated warnings to stop using cannabis will face a driving ban and be forced to stay at home at night.

Italy: Difficulties to obtain cannabis-based medicines
IACM-Bulletin of 28 November 2004
While cannabis is still listed in the Italian Pharmacopoeia, there are no cannabis-based medicines available in Italy. Patients with multiple sclerosis or other conditions where cannabis or derivatives might offer some benefit, must obtain a special import permit from the Health Ministry for each prescription of their physician.
Drugs registered in other countries, such as Nabilone or Dronabinol (Marinol) or cannabis available in Dutch pharmacies, can be prescribed by Italian doctors, but the procedure to import them is very complicated. Since these drugs are controlled drugs (narcotics) a single prescription cannot be issued for more than 30 daily doses.
Moreover, such drugs cannot be obtained through an ordinary pharmacy, but only through the pharmacy of the "local health agency" (ASL), usually the nearest hospital. Furthermore, Italian physicians are very reluctant to prescribe such a controversial drug.
To the knowledge of the Italian Association for Therapeutic Cannabis (Associazione per la Cannabis Terapeutica, ACT) there are only a few patients in Italy obtaining nabilone (most of them for MS), and probably one only with the permit to import medical cannabis from The Netherlands. Many of them have not been able to follow their therapy regularly due to the problems described above.

Rastas can use cannabis, Italian court rules
Share: by mabone - October 3, 2008 |
Rastafarians have always regarded Ethiopia as the promised land, but Italy could rank a close second after its Supreme Court ruled that smoking or possessing cannabis is not a criminal offence but a religious act when the person doing it is a Rastafarian.
Last year, the same court declared that cultivating even a single cannabis plant was a punishable offence. But now Italy's Court of Cassation has said Rastafarians use marijuana "not only as a medical but also as a meditative herb. And, as such [it is] a possible bearer of the psychophysical state to contemplation and prayer".
Release, the London-based drugs information service, said that the ruling was a European first.
The case was brought by a man in his forties from Perugia who was sentenced to 16 months in jail plus a €4,000 (£3,000) fine in 2004 for possession of 97g of marijuana. The Supreme Court said the court of first appeal had failed to consider that the man, a Rastafarian, smoked marijuana according to the precepts of his religion, which, the judges said, permits the smoking of 10g per day.
Rastafarians smoke the drug, said the court, "with the memory and in the belief that the sacred plant grew on the tomb of King Solomon".

HEALTH: Medical Use of Marijuana Divides Italy
By Francesca Colombo*
MILAN, Dec 8 (Tierramérica) - In Italy just 10 ill people have authorisation to use marijuana as therapy against pain. But that number could grow in the coming months if parliament approves a law for using this usually illegal plant for medical purposes.
Federico Fantoni, 58, is a doctor - and a quadriplegic. For the past eight years he has used a wheelchair and suffers pain in his arms due to muscle contraction caused by his illness. To fight the pain he tried all possible medications, including opium patches, but he couldn't stand the side effects.
After learning more about the therapeutic use of marijuana (Cannabis sativa), he decided to try it. "In five hours I didn't feel any discomfort," he said in testimony for the Italian Association for Therapeutic Cannabis.
That group is part of the International Association for Cannabis as Medicine, whose objective is to improve the legal framework around the world for utilising marijuana and its pharmacological components in therapeutic applications.
The bill in Italy to legalise medical use of marijuana, presented in October by the Council of Ministers, prompted reactions in favour and against among politicians, experts and citizens.

Italy/Switzerland: Governments plan legal use of cannabis for medicinal purposes
IACM via BBSNews 2006-10-29 -- The Italian government has decided that in the future cannabis may be used for the treatment of pain. The parliament has still to hold a vote on this issue. The measure has "nothing to do with joints" Health Minister Livia Turco stated. The reform can only become into effect after the House of Representatives and the Senate have approved it.
The opposition is divided on this question. While the right-wing nationalists accused the government to legalize a soft drug, Chiara Moroni of the party "Forza Italia" of opposition leader Silvio Berlusconi supported the decision of the cabinet. The lawmaker in Switzerland also made a first step to the possibility of a legal use of cannabis products for medical purposes.
The Health Committee of the parliament (Nationalrat) has decided with clear majority to suggest to the parliament to change the narcotics law accordingly, said the physician Felix Gutzwiller, president of the parliamentary party FDP and member of the Health Committee, on 24 October in the news of the Swiss television.
He therefore assumes that "there will be also a majority in the Nationalrat for the legalization of cannabis as a medicine."

Corriere della Sera - Original Article (Italian)
Perhaps it’s the economic crisis that makes people more tolerant. You’re thinking about your job, your mortgage, your future. So if you see a married couple, who happen to both be sporting mustaches and tuxedos; or if your neighbors have a medical prescription to buy marijuana, you just don’t stress out. You don’t worry about American values: if there ever were a time, perhaps now you might just feel like knocking and ask for a puff. News and polls say it’s a new America: not quite like pre-Summer of Love (San Francisco, 1967, that is the ’68 of the new Occidental lifestyles). This is a new America worried about the decline, maybe at the beginning of a more libertarian historical discourse. With this in mind, people celebrated – often illegally – last Monday.
From coast to coast, tens of thousands of people (a conservative estimate) gathered (in their homes, in bars, in parks) to celebrate Cannabis Day, a Californian rite that started at the end of the 70’s. In California a lot of people celebrated without breaking the law: there, as in Massachusetts, marijuana is allowed for medical use. In the case of medical reasons, users include actually ill people, as well as presumed sufferers of “anxiety” and “insomnia,” who get a prescription and go to a proper store [that dispenses medical marijuana]. Anyway, last Monday they were a lot - “never as many,” said Ethan Nadelmann, lobbyist of the Drug Policy Alliance in Washington.

Italy's Top Court OKs 'Young' Marijuana Plants
January 15, 2009 1:29 PM
By PHOEBE NATANSON, Producer, ABC News Rome
Italy's Supreme Court issued yet another perplexing sentence Wednesday relating to marijuana. It ruled that it is in fact OK to grow marijuana as long as the plants do not mature. The reason? The court believes that only mature plants can be considered drugs, as only mature plants contain the active ingredients that can produce euphoric effects.
The news must have delighted the 45-year-old man who had previously had his conviction confirmed by an appeals court in 2003 for growing 23 marijuana plants in his backyard. But it has left some Italians perplexed.
Politicians were the first to ridicule the verdict. Isabella Bertolini of the ruling People of Freedom party was quoted by Italian wire agency Ansa as saying, "The Supreme court judges really seem to be living on another planet. The next thing they'll do is have the police take gardening courses to be sure of intervening when the plant is getting dangerous.''

Grave-digger caught growing marijuana in cemetry
Published on Mon, 07/04/2005 | (ANSA) - Enna, July 4 - A Sicilian grave-digger has been caught growing marijuana in a cemetery here.
The 42-year-old man had two clumps of the illegal crop, one nestling in the lee of old monumental graves and the other tucked away near the graves of stillborn children.
An off-duty policeman spotted the hemp plots while visiting a relative's grave, bringing in an undercover team who set up a surveillance operation in unfinished tombs.
A daytime shift turned up no comers so the police began a 24-hour vigil and finally caught up with the watering can-bearing gravedigger as he approached his plants early one morning.

US Government Says It Will Stop Interfering with Medical Marijuana |
According to this article, US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that states will be allowed to make their own rules about medical marijuana, and that the US federal government will stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in California. (See article “Can Marijuana Help Rescue California’s Economy?”at this link)
In the 1990s, several US states passed referendums which allowed marijuana to be used legally for medical purposes. In a referendum, the registered voters vote directly on the proposed law, as opposed to the law being passed by the state legislature. Thus, when these states passed these referendums, it meant that the citizens of these states really wanted medical marijuana to be made legal.
However, in a blatant disregard for democracy and the people’s will, under the Bush administration, the national government refused to accept this law, and carried out raids of the medical marijuana dispensaries.

History of Medical Cannabis
Cannabis was a part of the American pharmacopoeia until 1942 and is currently available by prescription in the Netherlands, Canada, Spain, and Italy in its whole plant form.
In 1937, the U.S. passed the first federal law against cannabis, despite the objections of the American Medical Association (AMA). Dr. William C. Woodward, testifying on behalf of the AMA, told Congress that, "The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marijuana is a dangerous drug" and warned that a prohibition "loses sight of the fact that future investigation may show that there are substantial medical uses for Cannabis."
Ironically, the U.S. federal government currently grows and provides cannabis for a small number of patients. In 1976 the federal government created the Investigational New Drug (IND) compassionate access research program to allow patients to receive up to nine pounds of cannabis from the government each year. Today, five surviving patients still receive medical cannabis from the federal government, paid for by federal tax dollars.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis |
If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids.
Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.
