The federal government ruled on Friday that marijuana has no accepted medical use and should remain in the same class of drugs as heroin despite their patent on the medicine currently legal under numerous states.

California and many other states have legalized marijuana for medicinal reasons and efforts to re-legalize it in general is expected to appear on the 2012 ballot in California as Proposition 19

The abstract from the US Patent reads as follows:

“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention.”

The patent granted to the US Government and its uses of medical cannabis indicates that they have known for quite some time that cannabis is truly a medicinal plant.

This should be very alarming considering that the US Government has long denied the efficacy of medical marijuana as a medicine, as well as resisting the reclassification of the plant from Schedule 1 (no medical use), terrorizing/incarcerating medical patients and their family members, while at the same time successfully operating a 20+ year Federal Medical Marijuana Program.

It’s patent with the “Department of Commerce” is evident that the US Government is more interested in COMMERCE than it is for the health and well being of it’s citizens. Perhaps an International Patent (if there isn’t one already) by the US Government will make the world realize what a truly remarkable and miraculous plant cannabis really is for humankind.

The measure to legalize cannabis in California yesterday, also known as Prop 19, was lost with only approximately 46% of Californians voting Yes to legalize the plant.

Fortunately, Colorado activist groups are not deterred by California’s results on Prop 19.

Safer and Sensible Colorado are planning a 2010 statewide initiative to make marijuana legal and regulate it like alcohol.

SAFER and Sensible Colorado released the following statement:

Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) and Sensible Colorado are working to place a measure on the 2012 ballot that would remove penalties for adult marijuana use and establish a system of regulation for marijuana similar to that of alcohol.

According to a 9 News/Denver Post poll released last week, 46 percent of likely 2010 voters would support such a measure, while just 43 percent would oppose it. The poll echoes previous and recent internal polls showing support for regulating marijuana around 50 percent among 2010 likely voters.The 2012 electorate should be even more favorably inclined toward supporting such a measure.

“California started the race toward legalization but Colorado is going to finish it,” said Mason Tvert, executive director of SAFER, “Coloradans are ready to move forward and bring about a safer, more sensible approach to marijuana.

“For too long our government and the Arrest and Prosecution Industry have been playing a game to keep marijuana illegal for adults,” Tvert said. “That game will soon be over — we’re playing to win in 2012.”

“Over the past five years we have built a large coalition of organizations, elected officials, and citizens across the state,” said Sensible Colorado Executive Director Brian Vicente. “Now that the 2010 election is over we are moving full-steam ahead with a plan to organize, mobilize, and energize our coalition and potential voters throughout Colorado.

“The campaign for legalization in Colorado begins today and will not end until we become the first — or one of the first — in the nation to establish a legal marijuana market for all adults.”

Prop 19 Losing in CA

It’s the final election-day news conference on behalf of legalizing marijuana in California. Despite the energetic rallies and picket signs, the polls aren’t look promising.

The Iowa Board of Pharmacy has reclassified marijuana as a drug with medicinal purposes.Today, the Iowa Board of Pharmacy changed the classification in order to indicated that marijuana is considered to have accepted medical. Under the previous classification, marijuana was thought to have no proven or acceptable medical use.

The change will classify cannabis / marijuana with narcotics such as opiates and methadone.
