South Africa   Information pages The World Factbook -- References > South Africa >> Background: South Africa is a country on the continent of Africa. Dutch traders landed at the southern tip of modern day South Africa in 1652 and established a stopover point on the spice route between the Netherlands and the Far East, founding the city of Cape Town. After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902); however, the British and the Afrikaners, as the Boers became known, ruled together beginning in 1910 under the Union of South Africa, which became a republic in 1961 after a whites-only referendum. In 1948, the National Party was voted into power and instituted a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races - which favored the white minority at the expense of the black majority. The African National Congress (ANC) led the opposition to apartheid and many top ANC leaders, such as Nelson MANDELA, spent decades in South Africa's prisons. Internal protests and insurgency, as well as boycotts by some Western nations and institutions, led to the regime's eventual willingness to negotiate a peaceful transition to majority rule. The first multi-racial elections in 1994 brought an end to apartheid and ushered in majority rule under an ANC-led government. South Africa since then has struggled to address apartheid-era imbalances in decent housing, education, and health care. ANC infighting, which has grown in recent years, came to a head in September 2008 when President Thabo MBEKI resigned, and Kgalema MOTLANTHE, the party's General-Secretary, succeeded him as interim president. Jacob ZUMA became president after the ANC won general elections in April 2009. Source - https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/sf.html.

Medical marijuana around the world - Published at 2006-06-22 in Cannabis information » Medical cannabis | Marijuana is looked at very differently around the world. For example, in the Netherlands cannabis has been legally available for recreational use in coffee shops for several years. Thus it has also been available without a prescription for medical uses. Here we take a look at various countries look at the term “medical marijuana”. Source - http://www.420source.com/post/34 International law Marijuana is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs: A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party. This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of marijuana to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.

Cannabis (cannabis sativa) is a herbaceous plant containing more than 60 cannabinoid compounds, of which the main psychoactive constituent is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The THC content of cannabis varies according to the part of the plant used, with THC levels ranging between 0.5% to 5% for marijuana (dried flowering tops and leaves), 5% to 20% for hashish (compressed cannabis resin), and 15% to 20% for hashish oil (extracted from the flowering tops and resin). Mandrax tablets typically consist of a mixture of Methaqualone (the active ingredient) and antihistamine. Methaqualone is a synthetic sedative-hypnotic which acts as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant. ...

The students, based at the university's health science department, and a friend from Tshwane University of Technology, were bust following a tip-off. When police raided the Olympus residence behind the Pretoria Academic Hospital, they discovered rows of dagga plants being nurtured in the nursery cupboard which had been converted into a hothouse with specially fitted light bulbs and tinfoil linings. A further search of the dormitory led to the discovery of dagga being dried between clothes, dagga seeds being grown in cooldrink glasses, while outside on a patio more plants were found. ...

FRANCO, M.D., and EMMANUEL S. ONAIVI, PH.D. Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee A patient information handout on marijuana use, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 2593. Over 50 percent of people will use marijuana sometime in their life. While intoxication lasts two to three hours, the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, can accumulate in fatty tissues, including the brain and testes. Adverse effects from marijuana use include decreased coordination, epithelial damage to the lungs, increased risk of infection, cardiovascular effects and cognitive deficits. Unexplained behavior changes, altered social relationships and poor performance at school or work can signify a drug problem. Treatment requires a combination of education, social support, drug monitoring and attention to comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions. (Am Fam Physician 1999;60:2583-93.) Mechanisms of Action The proposed mechanisms of action of cannabinoids are shown in Table 1.1,4,7,10-14 Marijuana stimulates the dopamine pathway from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens, which is believed to be a reward system of the brain. TABLE 1 Proposed Mechanisms of Action of Cannabinoids: Binding to cannabinoid receptors (affects adenylate cyclase), Increased fluidity of cell membranes, Change in dopamine in brain reward regions, Modulation of g-amino butyric acid system, Alteration of neurotransmitters, Alteration of prostaglandins, Inhibition of calcium uptake by synaptosomes. Two endogenous cannabinoid receptors, CB1 (found primarily, but not exclusively, in the brain) and CB2 (found only in peripheral tissues), have been identified.10-12,15 Cannabinoid receptors are most prevalent in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, basal ganglia and cerebellum, which may account for the primary actions of cannabinoids. Very few cannabinoid receptors are located in the brain stem, which may explain why marijuana used in high dosages does not suppress respiration and why it has a high therapeutic index. ...

Legend has it that the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung discovered the medicinal properties of marijuana almost 5,000 years ago, observing that it was not only psychoactive but useful for pain control. A physician in ancient Greece, Dioscorides, noted that cannabis could treat pain, rheumatism, and gout. Queen Victoria's physician recommended it for insomnia, migraines, menstrual cramps, and muscle spasms. One neurologist estimates that today, perhaps as many as 50,000 Americans with multiple sclerosis illegally smoke marijuana to alleviate their symptoms. ...

Where did we go wrong? asks the health blog of the Wall Street Journal. So far, 60 students have completed two-day weekend sessions in the art and science of the medicinal herb at Oaksterdam University in Oakland, California. The school prepares students for jobs in California’s medical marijuana industry, teaching them how to cultivate cannabis, cook with it, dispense it and “protect your rights in a police encounter,” among other things. The faculty also teach “which strains are best for various medical conditions.” “My basic idea is to try to professionalize the industry and have it taken seriously as a real industry, just like beer and distilling hard alcohol,” Richard Lee, a pot-dispensary owner and the school’s founder,” told Associated Press. ...

AFRICA | Africa is confirming its role as a production area, a transit territory and a consumer market. South Africa is probably the world's leading producer of marijuana, but most of it is consumed on the domestic market, which also absorbs the output of neighboring countries, notably Lesotho, where cannabis is the main cash crop. At the other end of the continent, Algeria's market for cannabis products is supplied not only in hashish from Morocco but also, recently, in West African marijuana. In some countries, such as Congo, war is to blame for the boom in illicit crops, which have slowly become the prize of rural conflicts. More peacefully, in Kenya, khat represents major political and economic stakes. African and international organized crime are also involved in transit-trafficking of hashish, heroin and Mandrax from South-east Asia, and of South American cocaine. In addition, they distribute these substances on booming African markets. ... THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY IN LESOTHO | Lesotho is a small, mostly rural, mountainous Southern African country of about 2 million inhabitants, which is completely landlocked in South African territory. Although it is politically an independent state, Lesotho's geographic location makes it very dependent on its powerful neighbor, which absorbs most of its exports. Additionally, given Lesotho's lack of industry, poor soil and general state of underdevelopment (it is one of the world's poorest countries, with a GNP per capita of US $770 in 1995), South African mines are the largest employer of Basotho workforce. ... Visit: http://www.ukcia.org/research/Geopolitics/CannabisInAfrica.html Medical-marijuana user taken on a bad trip by legal system By David Harsanyi, Denver Post Staff Columnist - Posted: 03/29/2007 | Sometimes there's a fine line between consent and coercion. Jack Branson learned that lesson the hard way in October 2004 when officers from the North Metro Drug Task Force knocked on his door. Would Branson give consent to these officers to conduct a warrantless search of his home in Thornton? Well, of course he would consent - especially after, as Branson tells it, the dozen or so armed cops explained, in detail, the needless tragedies that would befall his home if they were forced to go through the trouble of returning with a warrant. In they went. The police, naturally, knew exactly what they were looking for and quickly seized about a dozen marijuana plants Branson was growing in the backyard. Charged with felony cultivation and possession with intent to distribute, the 38-year-old Branson, who is in a 20-year fight with HIV, is now facing a maximum six years in prison. Branson, who had no previous criminal record, claims that a physician named Dr. Cynthia Firnhaber verbally recommended medical marijuana to him in 2002 to help ease his pain. ... The main problem for the defense will be Firnhaber. She now teaches in South Africa at the University of Witwatersrand, where she's a specialist in fighting AIDS. Securing her live testimony in court could prove difficult. Written testimony won't do. And even if they can get her on the phone, a judge would have to allow it. ...

Several years since SB420, and almost a year since the California Attorney General's guidelines. We have even had The California Third District Court of Appeal last week issue a ruling reaffirming patients rights to collectively cultivate medical marijuana. However here in San Diego we still have our leadership debating whether marijuana is medicine. The San Diego DA’s Office and Bonnie Dumanis have stated numerous times that there is no such thing as a legal collective or cooperative, and that anyone who engages in an attempt to cultivate and distribute collectively is obviously in it for profit, "why else would they get in to this activity". ...

Visit: http://www.utopiasprings.com/vcanagra.htm Medical Marijuana for Pain and Depression, by www.disabled-world.com | Medical Marijuana. Marijuana is one of the most beneficial and therapeutically active substances known to man. Medical Cannabis refers to the use of the drug cannabis as a physician-recommended herbal therapy, most notably as an antiemetic. Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for approximately 4,000 years. Writings from ancient India confirm that its psychoactive properties were recognized, and doctors used it for a variety of illnesses and ailments. These included a whole host of gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, headaches and as a pain reliever frequently used in childbirth. In the 1970s, a synthetic version of THC, the primary active ingredient in cannabis, was synthesized to make the drug Marinol. Due to the prohibition of marijuana however; it's use as a medicine is restricted. However, recent Canadian government legislation have made it more available to patients. Patients are now able to apply for personal possession and even a limited cultivation license. ... Further Information Regarding Medical Marijuana; Marijuana rivals mainstream drugs for HIV/AIDS symptoms.

The federal drug prosecutors are appealing that case, and in our system it would go up from the provincial level. And ultimately if they go to the Supreme Court, then they don't change the law but they send the message back to Parliament that they had better rethink the law. Dan Abrahamson - Thank you. Moving south of the border from Canada to the United States, we've got two attorneys who are going to speak about different aspects of cannabis reform in the States, Graham Boyd and Attorney Robert Raich. Graham Boyd is also going to discuss very briefly legal issues in South Africa, as Mr. Boyd was practicing law there for the past three months and has come away with some insights about the courts and cannabis reform in that country. Graham Boyd - I'm the director of a project at the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU, that focuses on drug policy litigation issues, and in South Africa [I] work as a co-operating attorney with the Legal Resources Centre in Cape Town. I just want to note one thing though before I get into the substance of what I'm saying: If we're talking about distribution of cannabis it seems to me important that we do think about countries like South Africa at the same time that we think about the countries that the rest of us come from, because a lot of the cannabis that is consumed in the countries we're talking about comes from somewhere else. So, the distribution system isn't just about the coffee shops, or whatever the system is within our own domestic borders, but it's also about thinking on a more global scale about where the cannabis is grown and how it gets from one place to another, and dealing with those issues. I don't have any answers on that, but I just wanted to sort of note that as an issue which we should all probably be thinking about. ... isn't a lot in South Africa in terms of cannabis reform other than one decision ...

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.   ...   Visit - https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=106356.

Archive for the ‘International’ Category In Case there was any Doubt… Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 Posted by elizabeth |   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.”   ...   Visit - http://safeaccessnow.org/blog/?cat=22.

(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.   ...   Click > here < for more.

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.

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.
