Sweden | has No MEDICAL MARIJUANA (cannabis) LAW. Cannabis has no officially recognized medical usage and medical use is not seen as an extenuating circumstance. Rather the opposite, in a case that drew some attention in the national press involving a multiple sclerosis patient, the disease, and the fact that she stated that cannabis helped her, were seen as an aggravated circumstance by the court. The court argued in the verdict that she lacked motivation to stop using the drug and therefore gave her an unconditioned jail sentence, although she was a first-time offender, she would have otherwise regularly been given a suspended sentence or a fine. The Medical Products Agency reported in 2008 that no drugs containing cannabinoids are available, although they can have beneficial effects on symptoms like neuralgia. Cannabinoid mouth spray Sativex that is derived from cannabis plants was approved in Sweden for the treatment of spasticity due to Multiple Sclerosis on 22 December 2011. Research on cannabinoids is done at the famous Karolinska Institute. More on Law, Legislation, Action and Activities as we find out. ...

Though regionally and in certain circles "street legal" it is still illegal to sell, transfer, purchase, use or possess any quantity of cannabis in Sweden. Social stigmatisation through social rejection and exclusion from the labourmarket and social services are the most common sanctions in matters regarding personal use. The national police runs a "disturb and annoy" program aimed at users supported by the national "zero tolerance" policy.

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.

Law enforcement: Swedish police will arrest you if they see you smoking cannabis publicly, and the swedish police has since a couple years back mainly focused on new and young drug users (under the age of 18). If you only have THC in the urine you will get a fine. repeated use of cannabis can in the long run give you a prison sentence. dont walk around with a big amount in the pocket!!! Where to buy marijuana: Get a hold of me!! haha if you know a real cannabis smoker in malmo its very easy finding good hashish but in malmo allmost everybody try to rip you of! In Malmo you have to know somebody to obtain good weed or hashish. Its mostly hash of bad quality beeing sold here, even if you know somebody!! Now and then there is really good weed and hash but its not very often and to obtain the quality stuff you HAVE TO KNOW SOMEONE. However if you dont know someone in malmo and want to have a smoke you could try to talk to the heroin junkies outside “triangeln”, a large shopping complex, they could probably hook you up, but Im sure they would also try to rob you. you could also try the shady-looking-albans hanging around mollan in their raggedy cars… sooner or later you wil find a perso n dealing hash out of his car. but keep away from the cops, if they find you smoking or even suspect you have been dealing with cannabis in one way or the other they will search you, and they can take you to the station and make you leave a urine sample. Brands: Moroccan hashish of poor quality and sometimes good quality. sometimes black hashish from afghanistan/lebanon of good quality. sometimes smuggeled in skunk from amsterdam/copenhagen. sometimes homegrown skunk of good quality and sometimes really bad.. it all depends on who you know!! Marijuana Prices: 100 swedish kronors / gram some times you can find 5g for 400kr. prices have been going upwards the latest couple of years and it allmost allways cost 100kr/g if you buy up to 10g. sometimes you can find 20g for like 1200-1600 depending on the quality and the dealer. 100g can range from 3500kr-7500kr depending on quality and even more, the dealer!! More information: >> Learn more >> Stockholm | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4 --- Legislation: All drug use, possession, acquisition, and trafficking are crimes and are punishable under Swedish law. Setting up a contact between a dealer and consumer is also punishable by law. The Swedish judicial system divides narcotics offenses into minor, simple and aggravated categories based on the amount of drugs involved – regardless of whether there was intent to sell. Those convicted of minor offenses can get up to six months in jail. Simple offenses carry a three-year sentence, while aggravated convictions garner at least two and a possible 10 years in prison. “Sweden has one of the harshest drugs policies in the world,” wrote journalist Danny Rosenbaum. “In many countries, including Britain, it is common for people in possession of cannabis to face only a caution. In Sweden, however, offenders are always prosecuted.” Law enforcement: Police will confiscate any cannabis found, and in most cases they will prosecute. Under 18s caught with cannabis are normally just given a warning, but if you get a strict cop, then they will take you down. Where to buy marijuana: The south city, sodermalm… the place to be. The train stations there on a friday night are often a easy place to pick up. Watch for police as drunken swedes get quite aggressive so police are always around the corner. NEVER EVER EVER try and buy at plattan or sergelstorg. Its heroin junkies selling bad qualtiy gear mixed with chemicals. and theres alot of police around. and also : “In Stockholm at the main square “sergels torg” which most people call it “plattan” there are heroinjunkies always trying to fool newbies buying. The arablooking guys and the white often put candy in aluminum foil and a small piece bad hash at one end. Mariatorget, Fridhemsplan and Stadion have also been reported as good spots. If you don’t want to risk the cops on Stockholm’s streets, another widely-known, berserker booze spot where visitors could probably indulge in plenty of other goodies is the overnight ferry between Stockholm and Finland.” and: “I just want to add two more places where you buy: “Rinkeby torg” and “Medborgarplatsen”. These places are, acording to the police, half open markets.” and also: “There is a reggae bar called “Sderkllaren” it is verry near the Substation Medborgarplatsen. There are always a lot of smokers in that bar, just ask one of the rastas if they have some Mary Jane or if they know anyone that have it. just be shure that they don’t think that you are 5-0 During the summer it is very very easy to get some Mary Jane just ask someone that looks like a smoker. Try to ask a rastaman or a someone that looks like a “hip hoper” they will help you try to ask when they are drunk ;)… DON’T EVER PAY MORE THEN 500 Swe kr if they tell you to pay more are they trying to fool you! But you can tell them that you will give them a bud or to join smoking a spliff , they will help you even faster” Marijuana Prices: Latest Info says: 400 SEK for 5g of hash 500 SEK for 5g of weed, some good will go for 600 SEK Hashish: 100SEK – 200SEK /gram (soap bar = 5gram/300SEK all year) Bud: 70SEK – 300SEK/gram (300 is for top buds, white widow and super skunk) 100SEK = £8 = $16 and also: “Hashish goes for as little as the equivalent of $6, or as much as $30, per gram. Pot sells at around $16 for an eighth of an ounce.” Brands: The hash is marock. in the summer some afgani hash is around but not much. The stadarn buds are medium quality hybrids or indicas. sativas are not so common. White Widow, Nothern Lights, Bubblegum and blueberry are sold if you know the right people. spend a couple of weeks collecting contacts and you will have acsess to them, high prices though. and also: “Bad brown marock is available nearly everywhere, buds are harder to obtain if you don’t know the grower, it never sells on the street. In the summer the hash is top quality, but during the winter the quality is not so good. Quality and quantity differ a lot. ‘Five grams’ could easily end up being three grams. Quality is either really good or pure shit” More information: There are not true headshops in stockholm, but you can buy bongs in a shop called le mirage on ‘gamla stan’ (the old town) WeBeHigh city tale: Thanks to a government crackdown on drugs that has lasted decades, alcohol is the most common way to get loose among Swedes. Greater Stockholm is a city built on an archipelago of small islands whose 1.7 million residents gorge themselves on fish – poached, pickled and fried. They also have an old-time fisherman’s taste for booze. Strong local beers, as well as wine and liquor, are sold by the state-owned Systembolaget outlets, which are widespread and open on weekdays. Customers take a number, and Friday afternoon lines are long. But while it is the most popular and prevalent, alcohol certainly isn’t the sole party favour in Sweden’s capital. “In the summer the hash is top quality, but during the winter the quality is not so good,” said a tourist named Kevin. “Quality and quantity differ a lot. ‘Five grams’ could easily end up being three grams. Quality is either really good or pure shit.” Hashish goes for as little as the equivalent of $6, or as much as $30, per gram. Pot sells at around $16 for an eighth of an ounce. A smoker named Rich said hash was easier to obtain than marijuana, adding that buyers often get homegrown bud “with bad quality.” “Big risk for rip-offs when you buy in the streets in Sweden if you don’t know what you’re doing,” he said. Ecstasy, found most often in the city’s dance clubs, sells for between $26 and $35 for one pill. LSD microdots can go for only two dollars per hit, while speed is around $33 for a gram. Common spots to buy include Mariatorget, Fridhemsplan and Stadion. While many said soft drugs were also easy to get at the central subway station, Kevin warned against it. “Don’t go downtown to central station,” Kevin said. “They’ll rip you off because they’re all heroin addicts collecting money for their next fix.” While the major subway stops are widely known as places to locate dealers, buyers should take care. Sweden is very serious about its anti-drug laws. “All drug use, possession, acquisition, and trafficking are crimes and are punishable under Swedish law,” stated a report by marijuana advocate group NORML. “Setting up a contact between a dealer and consumer is also punishable by law.” The Swedish judicial system divides narcotics offences into minor, simple and aggravated categories based on the amount of drugs involved – regardless of whether there was intent to sell. Those convicted of minor offences can get up to six months in jail. Simple offences carry a three-year sentence, while aggravated convictions garner at least two and a possible 10 years in prison. “Sweden has one of the harshest drugs policies in the world,” wrote journalist Danny Rosenbaum. “In many countries, including Britain, it is common for people in possession of cannabis to face only a caution. In Sweden, however, offenders are always prosecuted.” Sweden has been strengthening its drug laws since the 1970s, making it more and more legally difficult to take a hit. The country’s lawmakers in 1988 made it illegal to consume any type of narcotic. That includes marijuana, and in 1994 a policy of prosecuting all pot possession cases took effect. Police can give urine and blood tests if they even suspect drug use. But one traveller thinks that relaxed drug laws could do Swedish society some good. “Having seen almost inarticulate, expressionless, broomstick-up-the-ass stiff Swedes turn into bellowing, Viking berserkers slam-dancing in their own vomit – your typical late Friday night subway train in Stockholm – after drinking excessively; I would almost prefer to see grass nudge out booze as the social, recreational drug of choice,” said Latvian traveller Juris Kaza. If you don’t want to risk the cops on Stockholm’s streets, another widely-known, berserker booze spot where visitors could probably indulge in plenty of other goodies is the overnight ferry between Stockholm and Finland. “Typically, one takes an evening ferry, departing around 8 p.m. and arriving in Turku [Finland] the next morning around 8 a.m.,” explained Dennis, one of a trio who experienced the boat trip. “The conventional approach for a Scandinavian battling winter depression is to take the opportunity to party all night on tax-free booze, hang out on the boat for a few hours and then take it back to Stockholm without setting foot in Turku. The travel agent was surprised that we wanted to spend the day and come back on the evening ferry.” One tourist found the ferry so entertaining he didn’t even bother to get off and check out the Swedish party scene. “The reason you take the ferry to Stockholm is duty-free vodka, duty-free beer and to party,” said Ken Cook, who was coming from Finland. “No need to get off the boat in Stockholm, just turn around and do it again on the way back to Finland.” >> Learn more >>  See also >> Global Marijuana Marches, below.

National clinical conferences on the medicinal use of cannabis have been held in the United States in 2000 and 2002 and are scheduled to continue on a biennial basis. Most importantly, data on the number of physicians currently recommending therapeutic marijuana use to their patients demonstrate its acceptance by the medical community in the United States.

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.

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.
