Mediswipe has met their promise and Amazon has delivered early. Chillo, made in Austria, has arrived via FedX in Georgia, USA. It's chilling now!

I personally never drank an energy drink. I started drinking coffee in 2009 when advised it would relieve head and neck pain while editing one evening. It did get rid of the pain. We quit editing after the sun came up. I've drank coffee ever since on the onset of this pain. Am starting this Chillo, as a replacement brew on the next episode, since Chillo contains properties that are supposed to help relieve swelling, like HEMP SEED extract, caffeine and B-12 just to feel better. I'm hoping there is enough extract and caffeine to get relief.

“The business is there and whoever steps into it is going to do well”

We should know by the numbers

The government would save an estimated $13.7 billion on prohibition enforcement costs and tax revenue by legalizing marijuana.

The economic benefits of pushing pot into mainstream commerce have long been cited as a reason to make the drug legal, and the economists' petition comes as government officials at both the federal and local levels are looking for ways to raise funds.

The majority of Americans say they prefer cutting programs to increasing taxes as a way to deal with the nation’s budget deficit -- marijuana legalization would seemingly give the government money without doing either.

Pot legalization puts bankers in a pickle
By Brett Wolf | Reuters - Cards supporting Amendment 64 are seen in campaign offices in Denver, Colorado, May 25, 2012 file photo. REUTERS/Rick Wilking/Files
ST. LOUIS, Nov 8 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) - Colorado and Washington may have voted to legalize recreational marijuana, but it is far from a green light for banks to provide accounts or other services to the pot industry in those states.

Financial institutions across the country still face legal risks if they do business with marijuana shops because pot remains illegal under federal law.

"If financial institutions are federally licensed or insured, they must comply with federal regulations, and those regulations are clear about conducting financial transactions with money generated by the sale of narcotics," said Jim Dowling, a former Internal Revenue Service special agent who also acted as an anti-money laundering advisor to the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

The ballot measures on Tuesday made Colorado and Washington the first states to permit recreational marijuana sale and use. Medical-marijuana laws have been around in some states for more than a decade.

California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana in 1996. With the addition of Massachusetts, which passed a medical-marijuana ballot initiative on Tuesday, 18 states and the District of Columbia now have such laws on their books.

The medical marijuana business was worth $1.7 billion in 2011 and growing, according to a study by financial-analysis firm See Change Strategy.

The federal government does not recognize states' authority to legalize marijuana under any circumstances, however. It has targeted some medical-pot businesses for violations of the 40-year-old Controlled Substances Act, which classifies the drug a Schedule 1 narcotic, meaning it is considered addictive and with no medical value.

The Justice Department on Wednesday said its marijuana enforcement policies remained unchanged. "We are reviewing the ballot initiatives and have no additional comment at this time," its public statement said.

A Justice Department spokeswoman did not respond to a request for additional comment related to banking activity.

DEA WARNS BANKS

Under President Barack Obama, federal authorities have focused enforcement efforts on large commercial medical marijuana operations that generate a lot of money. In some cases, federal money-laundering and forfeiture laws have been used against such businesses.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) began warning banks and credit card companies away from medical marijuana businesses four years ago, and many, if not all, have responded by closing the businesses' accounts. Even small regional banks that once publicly embraced the industry have abandoned it.

Some medical marijuana businesses pose as traditional medical clinics to open bank accounts, or clandestinely misuse existing personal or business accounts.

U.S. attorneys offices in states with medical marijuana laws have had a large degree of autonomy in determining when to bring criminal prosecutions for marijuana-related infractions of the Controlled Substances Act.

In 2010, Californians considered legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. While the measure ultimately failed, prior to the vote U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder vowed to aggressively prosecute "organizations that possess, manufacture or distribute marijuana for recreational use".

After Tuesday's votes, the Justice Department and individual U.S. attorneys offices will have to clarify their intentions with regard to enforcing the federal marijuana ban in Colorado and Washington, former federal enforcement officials said.

The recreational marijuana measures in both states will allow pot to be sold at state-licensed stores.

However, former Justice Department officials said that financial institutions, even those in Colorado and Washington State risk possible criminal or civil penalties for doing business with pot shops.

Once the states have begun their licensing processes, financial institutions may need to update their reviews on existing business customers by ensuring they are not on lists of state-licensed marijuana stores, the sources said.

Marijuana study latest evidence MMJ doesn't boost teen use, advocate says
By Michael Roberts Tue., Jun. 19 2012 at 8:51 AM

A just-released study associated with the University of Colorado Denver finds no link between teen marijuana use and the legalization of medical marijuana; read the report below.
Sensible Colorado's Brian Vicente sees these results as more evidence that regulating pot actually causes a decrease in teen use.

Granted, Vicente has a dog in this fight: He's among the primary proponents of Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act. As such, he's heartened by the conclusions reached by a team that includes UCD Professor Daniel Rees, based on data collected for the years 1993 to 2009 -- a period when thirteen states, including Colorado, legalized medical marijuana. The researchers report no statistical evidence that MMJ legalization caused more teens to toke.

Vicente sees the survey as part of a trend. "This is the second such report we've seen in just a matter of two weeks showing that regulating marijuana sales leads to a decrease in teen use."

The other study Vicente references is the Center for Disease Control's National Youth Risk Behavior Survey, made public on June 7. The headline item from the study was data positing that more teens are currently using marijuana than smoke cigarettes. But although overall teen marijuana use went up across the country, Colorado went the other direction, with the teen numbers actually declining from 2009 to 2011 -- the period Vicente refers to as the medical marijuana "green rush" in the state.

Medical marijuana legalized in Connecticut
By Mary Ellen Clark

Connecticut on Friday became the 17th U.S. state to legalize the medical use of marijuana.

The state's Governor Dannel Malloy signed into law legislation allowing licensed physicians to certify an adult patient's use of marijuana for medical purposes, according to a statement from the governor's office.

The new law puts in place restrictions to prevent the kind of abuse that has plagued some of the 16 other states and the District of Columbia where pot is legal for medical use.

"For years, we've heard from so many patients with chronic diseases who undergo treatments like chemotherapy or radiation and are denied the palliative benefits that medical marijuana would provide," Governor Malloy said.

"With careful regulation and safeguards, this law will allow a doctor and a patient to decide what is in that patient's best interest," he said.

Under the bill, patients and their caregivers must register with the Department of Consumer Protection. In addition, a doctor must certify there is a medical need for marijuana to be dispensed, including such debilitating conditions as cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or epilepsy.

Finally, only a pharmacist with a special license can dispense medical marijuana, according to the new law.

Obama’s high school pot-smoking detailed in Maraniss book
By Olivier Knox

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-high-school-pot-smoking-detailed-maraniss-book-154948662.html

Bill Clinton he was not. When it came to smoking pot, the teenage Barack Obama had rules. You had to embrace "total absorption" or face a penalty. When you smoked in the car, "the windows had to be rolled up." And he could horn his way in, calling out "Intercepted!" and grab the joint out of turn.
Best-selling author David Maraniss' "Barack Obama: The Story" describes the future president's teenage antics, notably his copious marijuana smoking, details of which were published early Friday by Buzzfeed. While the book won't be released until June 19, vast sections of it were already available Friday on Google Books.
[Related: Obama ex-girlfriend recalls his 'sexual warmth']
Starting on page 293, the reader begins to get the dope on high school-age Obama's group of basketball- and fun-loving buds, who dubbed themselves the "Choom Gang," from a verb meaning "to smoke marijuana."
"As a member of the Choom Gang, Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called 'TA,' short for 'total absorption.' To place this in the physical and political context of another young man who would grow up to be president, TA was the antithesis of Bill Clinton's claim that as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled," writes Maraniss, author of a biography of the 42nd president.
"When you were with Barry and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang from marijuana, meaning "numbing tobacco") instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around. "'Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated,' explained one member of the Choom Gang, Tom Topolinski, the Chinese-looking kid with a Polish name who answered to Topo."
[Related: Aides gave filmmakers bin Laden raid info]
Obama also made popular a pot-smoking practice that the future president and his pals called "roof hits." When they smoked in the car, they rolled up the windows, and "when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling," Maraniss writes.
Obama "also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted 'Intercepted' and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind," according to the text.
Maraniss details how the Choom Gang relaxed at a spot they called "Pumping Stations" partway up Mount Tantalus on Oahu.
"They parked single file on the grassy edge, turned up their stereos playing Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult, and Stevie Wonder, lit up some 'sweet-sticky Hawaiian buds,' and washed it down with 'green bottled beer' (the Choom Gang preferred Heineken, Beck's, and St. Pauli Girl)," according to Maraniss.
"No shouting, no violence, no fights; they even cleaned up their beer bottles. This was their haven, in the darkness high above the city and the pressures of Punahou," he writes.
They also operated by consensus (NATO-style!), with any member able to "veto" a suggestion. "Whenever an idea was broached, someone could hold up his hand in the V sign (a backward peace sign of that era) and indicate that the motion was not approved. They later shortened the process so that you could just shout 'V' to get the point across," says Maraniss.
Sure, they drove around in a VW bus nicknamed the "Choomwagon." And their dealer was a "freakin' scary" guy named Ray who met a grisly end. "Many years later they learned that he had been killed with a ball-peen hammer by a scorned gay lover." (On his yearbook page, Obama says "Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times.")
But Maraniss also suggests that Obama, like, oh, everyone in the world, embellished his mischief.
"Later in life, looking back on those days, Obama made it sound as though he were hanging out with a group of misbegotten ne'er-do-wells, what he called the 'club of disaffection.' In fact, most members of the Choom Gang were decent students and athletes who went on to successful and productive lives as lawyers, writers, and businessmen," the author says.
Obama was a solid student, and adept at what some readers might know as "osmotic learning."
"He seemed nonchalant, yet performed well. How did he do it? He told his Choom Gang mates that the trick was if you put the textbook under your pillow the night before you would perform better on an exam. 'It never worked for me,' said Topolinski."

Seeing the Doctor Online
By Lisa Scherzer | The Exchange – Wed, May 23, 2012 1:27 PM ED

http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/seeing-doctor-online-172704066.html


You notice a mysterious rash on your forearm. With no idea as to what might be causing it — not bedbugs! — you take to the Web. Not to check WebMD for a quickie self-diagnosis but to Skype with your dermatologist and show him the affected patch of skin.

Online doctor visits are becoming increasingly common as cheaper videoconference tools and more high-speed Internet connections make it a cheaper and more convenient alternative to in-person consultations. Some specialties in health care, including online therapy and teleradiology, have gone mainstream.
Over 10 million Americans use a form of telemedicine each year, according to the American Telemedicine Association, a group that promotes the use of remote medical technologies. ("Telemedicine" or "telehealth" includes the diagnosis, consultation and treatment of patients via videoconference, phone and other applications.) And 15 states have passed laws requiring private insurers to cover services provided via telemedicine. Basic email communication between doctor and patient has more than doubled in recent years: 29 million people sent or received email from their doctor in 2011, up from 13 million in 2010, according to Manhattan Associates, a pharmaceutical market research firm.
A Solution to Physician Shortage?
Virtual doctor visits are also being touted as a possible solution to the nation's physician shortage. According to 2010 projections by the Association of American Medical Colleges' Center for Workforce Studies, there will be a shortage of about 63,000 doctors by 2015, with greater shortages on the horizon — 91,500 and 130,600 for 2020 and 2025, respectively.
Some studies have even shown the health benefits of online communication between doctors and patients. A 2010 Kaiser Permanente study, for example, observed more than 35,000 patients in Southern California who had diabetes, hypertension or both, and found patient-physician email within a two-month period was associated with a statistically significant improvement in effectiveness of care. Results included 2% to 6.5% improvements in glycemic, cholesterol and blood pressure screening and control. (Kaiser Permanente offers many telemedicine services, the latest being a health-management app for the iPhone which lets members email their providers, check lab test results, order prescription refills and manage appointments on their phones.)
Insurers are getting on board, too. Many big names, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth, WellPoint and Kaiser Permanente, offer coverage for a variety of online medical consultations. In 2010 two BlueCross BlueShield organizations in upstate New York started offering their members and employers virtual physician visits. And last year drug-store chain Rite Aid, along with OptimumHealth, began offering online consultations with doctors and nurses through NowClinic at its pharmacies in some regions. With the service, Rite Aid customers can see and speak directly to doctors who can discuss symptoms, provide guidance, diagnose and prescribe certain medications. (Patients pay $45 for a 10-minute visit with a NowClinic doctor; visits can be extended an additional 3 or 5 minutes for an extra charge.)
Getting Digital Care
A handful of services have landed in the marketplace offering patients a more digital-based way of getting care. One example is Telcare, an FDA-approved wireless glucose meter ($150) for diabetes patients that launched earlier this year. The device automatically uploads results online that can be read by preselected caregivers who can also provide feedback. MDLiveCare, founded in 2006, is a network of board-certified physicians and licensed therapists who can diagnose, recommend treatment and prescribe medication through phone or online video consultations.
The appeal is obvious. "You don't have to take off school, take off work, find parking, or sit in a waiting room," says Dr. G. Daniel Martich, chief medical information officer at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
UPMC, for instance, offers e-visits for issues that don't need urgent attention. Patients log on to the hospital's patient portal from anywhere and fill out a form explaining their symptoms. "We put it through algorithmic approach…. Depending on how you answer one question, it leads to the next question," says Dr. Martich. Altogether, the form takes five to 10 minutes to complete and is kept with the patient's electronic records; a doctor usually responds within two hours. "We promise a 24-hour turnaround," Martich says.
So does this mean, with a fast Internet connection and a Webcam, that your days of waiting endlessly at the doctor's office are over? Not exactly. This method of care isn't right for everyone or every medical issue. Indeed, there are skeptics who think telemedicine has significant limitations, particularly when it comes to the more delicate aspects of the doctor-patient relationship. Using the Web to make appointments and get answers to simple questions is one thing. "But there are some elements of taking care of people that don't lend themselves to 21st century technology," says Dr. Sam Bierstock, whose company, Champions in Healthcare, helps hospitals implement electronic health records. "Patient care that comes with a certain amt of empathy and guidance depending on the situation — I don't think you can do all that in cyber world."
Most important, online doctor visits shouldn't be used in emergency situations. "They tend to work best when there's already an established patient-physician relationship," says Dr. Anthony Shih, executive vice president at the Commonwealth Fund, a health research foundation.
This mode of care, he adds, has been successfully used for routine requests, like prescription refill requests and checking in with your doctor for monitoring chronic illnesses in between in-person visits (for example, emailing your blood pressure readings for patients with hypertension). If you want to see your doctor about a new and potentially complex health problem, he says, online communication is not your best bet.

New York judge with cancer makes case for marijuana
By Jessica Dye | Reuters – NEW YORK (Reuters) - A cancer-stricken judge in New York has become an unlikely voice in support of legalizing the use of medical marijuana with the admission that he smokes pot to ease the side-effects of his treatments.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach, who is being treated for pancreatic cancer, wrote in a New York Times article on Thursday that he had been using marijuana provided by friends at "great personal risk" to help him cope with the nausea, sleeplessness and loss of appetite from chemotherapy treatments.
"This is not a law-and-order issue; it is a medical and a human rights issue," wrote Reichbach, 65, who has spent 21 years on the bench in Kings County Supreme Court, and continues to hear cases even as he receives cancer treatment.
In the past, admitting to taking a few puffs of marijuana has been enough to derail some judges' careers. U.S. appeals court Judge Douglas Ginsburg saw his nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court go up in smoke in 1987 after admitting he had used marijuana several times in the 1960s and 1970s.
In 2011, a Georgia judge was removed from the bench for various infractions including publicly admitting to smoking pot regularly.
New York is not among the U.S. 16 states and the District of Columbia that allow medical marijuana. Cannabis remains an illegal narcotic under federal law.
Under New York's Code for Judicial Conduct, judges are required to "respect and comply with the law." First-time possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana is punishable by a $100 maximum fine.
While Reichbach's editorial amounts to an admission he broke the law, his story is more likely to elicit admiration than condemnation, judicial ethics experts said.
"It's brave and wonderful, but it's heart-wrenching," said Ellen Yaroshefsky, a law professor at the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law. "There are key moments in history where a judge makes a bold stand. This is one of the moments, and we should be proud of it."
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES UNCLEAR
In New York, disciplinary actions involving judges are handled by the state's Commission on Judicial Conduct, which reviews allegations of criminal activity and other wrongdoing and decides on an appropriate reprimand. That could range from a confidential cautionary letter to dismissal, although more serious forms of punishment require approval from the state's chief judge.
Robert Tembeckjian, counsel for the commission, declined to say whether any inquiry could or would be opened into Reichbach's statements.
"Information relating to the conduct of judges that appears in newspapers is routinely reviewed by the commission," Tembeckjian said.
The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office did not immediately comment on whether any action was being contemplated against the judge. But first-time possession of a small amount of marijuana is classified only as a civil offense.
A spokesman for the state court system, David Bookstaver, also declined to address whether Reichbach might face consequences for the editorial, saying only that "everyone's thoughts in the court system are with Justice Reichbach as he battles a very serious disease."
One potential conflict that may arise from Reichbach's comments is his ability to hear cases involving marijuana possession, said Monroe Freedman, a law professor at Hofstra University.
"He has admitted to unlawful conduct," Freedman said. "Ordinarily, that could be a problem, but it's a very narrow, specific situation and I would hope nothing would come of it that would be adverse to the judge."
Support for medical-marijuana legislation is gaining support among New Yorkers. A poll from Siena Research Institute released on Wednesday found 57 percent of New Yorkers supported establishing a legal framework for allowing doctors to prescribe marijuana for cancer, chronic pain and other illnesses.
On Tuesday, a New York Assembly committee approved medical-marijuana legislation, and the Democratic-controlled Assembly appears poised to pass it for the third time in five years. A spokesman for the state Senate Republican majority said that chamber was unlikely to act on the measure this year.

Supporter of Oregon medical pot law wins attorney general race
By Teresa Carson | Reuters

PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) - In a primary election race for Oregon's top law enforcement post, the candidate who pledged to protect medical marijuana patients scored a decisive victory Tuesday night over a rival who led a cannabis crackdown last year.
Retired judge Ellen Rosenblum, strongly backed by proponents of liberalized marijuana laws, captured 63 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary for state attorney general, trailed by former U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton with 36 percent, according to early returns.
Because no Republicans sought their party's nomination for attorney general, the Democratic primary victor, Rosenblum, becomes the presumptive winner in November's general election, making her the first woman to claim that office.
With Rosenblum and Holton taking similar stances on issues such as consumer protection, civil rights and the environment, their diametrically opposed views on medical marijuana emerged as a key point of contention in the race, so much so that the campaign was seen largely as a referendum on drug policy generally.
"As attorney general, I will make marijuana enforcement a low priority, and protect the rights of medical marijuana patients," Rosenblum said on her website before the election.
By contrast, Holton called Oregon's medical marijuana law, which has left distribution and cultivation of pot largely unregulated, a "trainwreck" that was putting pot "in the hands of kids" and others who are using it for purposes other than pain management.
In a brief victory statement issued shortly after election officials began to tally the ballots, Rosenblum said she was "honored to have been selected by the voters of Oregon as their choice for the Democratic nominee (for) Attorney General of Oregon."
She made no mention of marijuana or any other specific issues. Nor did Holton, who in his concession statement thanked, among others, the coalition of organized labor groups that backed his candidacy.
But medical marijuana advocates seized on Rosenblum's win as a sign that voters were at odds with the federal government's recent crackdown on storefront cannabis shops in states that have legalized personal use, possession and cultivation of pot for healthcare reasons.
As Oregon's chief federal prosecutor last year, Holton was in the vanguard of that crackdown, sending letters to owners, operators and landlords of storefront pot outlets warning they faced prosecution and civil enforcement actions for involvement in the sale of cannabis.
While medical marijuana is legal in Oregon, the sale for profit of cannabis to any of the state's 55,000 registered cannabis patients is considered illegal, although growers can be reimbursed for supplies and utilities.
Even so, some medical marijuana "cafes" have sprung up in the state, drawing the ire of groups opposed to drug use.
The primary contest unfolded as two groups in Oregon are racing to collect enough signatures for two separate ballot initiatives seeking to legalize marijuana for recreational use in the state.
If their efforts are successful, Oregon voters will join those in Colorado and Washington state who will decide on the matter in November. A total of 16 states, plus the District of Columbia, allow medical marijuana, though cannabis remains classified as an illegal narcotic under federal law.
Some experts predicted a Rosenblum triumph could resonate well outside of Oregon's largely Democratic-registered electorate.
"A victory for Rosenblum could have symbolic power which would reach beyond the state into the national debate," said University of Oregon political science professor Joe Lowndes.

MMJ news can affect this segment of MWIP business and does affect the industry as a whole. Would the mmj patients use their MWIP card in these machines or would these machines use MWIP to process transactions on these types of dispensers? I'm not sure but this may also be a possibility and should be answered soon.

Medbox, Inc. Issues Cease and Desist Order Against Company That Purports To Have Created Medical Marijuana Dispensing MachineLast update: 4/23/2012 10:15:00 AMHOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Medbox, Inc. (pinksheets:MDBX) () commented today on the press release distributed last Friday by Dispense Labs, LLC, a company purporting to have created a "first of its kind" medical marijuana dispensing machine. This company, which is affiliated to a medical marijuana sales center named "The Dispensary Store" conducted several news interviews extolling the benefits of its "proprietary" machine. As the story was being reported, Santa Ana police quickly shut down the illegally operating dispensary affiliated to Dispense Labs, LLC. ABC Local news reported that "Santa Ana Police are cracking down on numerous dispensaries in the city, including this one. The business was cited Friday afternoon and has shut down for now." "There is a complete ban on marijuana dispensaries in the city of Santa Ana through our municipal code," said Santa Ana Corporal Anthony Bertagna. In addition, last Tuesday Dispense Labs, LLC was served with a cease and desist notice by Medbox, Inc. for violating its federal patent (7,844,363 B1) pertaining to technology Medbox, Inc. developed more than 5 years ago. The letter warned the violators as to the penalties for criminal infringement as described in Title 18, section 2319 of the U.S. Code and range from imprisonment of one to ten years, plus fines, depending on the willful nature of the violation. Amongst those being named in the cease and desist order are Joe DeRobbio, CEO and founder of "The Dispensary Group", Dispense Labs, LLC, and The Dispensary Store. Medbox, through its subsidiary companies, have been featured in over 30 news interviews dating back to 2007 involving the machine's positive implications on the medical marijuana industry. Medbox believes the cease and desist order is imperative as Dispense Labs is tarnishing the image of the technology. Medbox has spent the last 3 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on lobbyists in multiple States in order to set the proper stage for these machines and appealing to state and local authorities as to the system's benefits. Currently, the Medbox machines are being used in many Alternative Health Centers that dispense marijuana nationwide. Recently, Medbox technology received an endorsement in Colorado's new House Bill (HB1043) concerning medical marijuana. "They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when a patent is involved it's just plain criminal," stated Dr. Bruce Bedrick, CEO of Medbox, Inc. "Our company's founder developed this technology years ago for use in the medical marijuana industry as a compliance tool. Dispense Labs has misled the media into the false belief that this is a new concept Dispense Labs created. We will be prosecuting these willful violators to the fullest extent of the law." About Medbox, Inc.: Medbox is a leader in the development, sales and service of automated, biometrically controlled dispensing and storage systems for medicine and merchandise. Medbox has offices throughout the world, including New York, Tokyo and Toronto, and has their corporate headquarters in Los Angeles.

California company DispenseLabs nvents marijuana vending machine with finger print technology

Medical marijuana dispensaries have been described as notoriously "haphazard, unorganized and dangerous" when it comes to the handling of money and inventory. Well, that's all a thing of the past with the debut of Autospense, the medical marijuana vending machine that promises to improve accountability and patient satisfaction. If putting a medical marijuana patient face-to-face with a complicated dispensing machine seems ill-conceived, not to worry: Recent studies suggest that regular pot smoking doesn't negatively affect concentration outside of the acute impairment period. The really important question here is what snacks will this machine have in case users get the munchies.

Economists say U.S. would save billions if pot was legal

Where there's pot, there's gold. So conclude more than 300 economists who say that the government -- if it got out of the business of enforcing marijuana laws -- could save a whopping $7.7 billion annually. Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron also figures there's another $6 billion to be mined each year by taxing the drug at rates similar to booze and tobacco. The economists, who have signed a petition, don't exactly go as far as Miron in suggesting pot be legalized but maintain that it's high time, so to speak, for an "open and honest debate."

According to Arizona's Department of Health Services Director, Will Humble, "The tumblers have clicked, and the race to apply for a dispensary [in Arizona] is on." Arizona's head of the Department of Health Services has given the go-ahead for accepting medical marijuana dispensary licenses in Arizona between May 14th and May 25, 2012.

According to DHS Chief, Will Humble, "The tumblers have clicked, and the race to apply for a dispensary is on. Our revised rules for regulating Medical Marijuana were filed and became official today - and we'll be accepting applications for Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificates from May 14 through May 25."

The growing legitimacy of the burgeoning medical cannabis industry in the US cannot be denied.

In the long run this go-ahead will help the whole mj industry...

In Long Beach City, Frustration Leads to Desperation in Solving Medical Marijuana Issue Last update: 3/28/2012 8:00:00 AM LONG BEACH, Calif., March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- On March 21 at 4:41pm, plain clothes officers not providing identification of the Long Beach Police Department, along with Long Beach Department of Finance workers, initiated an illegal raid against NatureCann Non-Profit Patient Group. Acting without a warrant or court order, the officer incursion involved forcefully breaking into the patient collective where three (3) patient volunteers were assisting fellow patients. An observer recording the event outside of the collective was knocked down by an officer who told him the police "can do whatever they want." Scores of businesses along the Atlantic Avenue Corridor were disrupted by the police presence and activity. Although no warrant was obtained by the department, and no resistance was offered by NatureCann, specialized assault equipment and armed tactics were utilized to force entry into the property. In an attempt to avoid being filmed and prior to making entry, an electronic video surveillance system designed to assist law enforcement was instead destroyed and disabled by the officers. Three (3) volunteers were abducted by the officers on-site while other officers arrested the collective's security guard at a nearby restaurant where he was on break. When asked about the reason for the incursion and arrest, one of the female NatureCann patient volunteers who declined to be named for fear of reprisal said, "I was in fear for my life, looking at the end of a loaded firearm pointed at my head, by an unidentified intruder twice my size. They broke in and started attacking us. We follow all State laws and provide for seriously ill patients." It was later determined that the volunteers had been arrested under a city ordinance recently rendered invalid by a higher court. In February, 2012, the Long Beach City Council enacted a ban of all medical cannabis patient dispensaries after its permitting ordinance requiring "substantial" and non-refundable fees was deemed unconstitutional by a California appellate court. Although the ban states it applies to all medical marijuana dispensaries in the city, dispensaries that had paid the substantial fee are not being targeted by authorities. The city announced it would enforce the ban only against patient groups that had not paid the fees. Days after Long Beach passed its ordinance banning all collectives, another California appellate court deemed similar bans illegal. In June, 2011, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge found that an earlier warrantless raid by Long Beach police officers and officials was improper. Patients involved in that case have filed a suit against the city seeking damages. In addition to being arrested, the volunteer said the police had taken all of the patient group's medication as well as electronic equipment without inventorying or reporting the seizures.

Arizona Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Likely to be Open This Summer, State Official Says
By Ray Stern Tue., Jan. 24 2012 at 6:50 PM

The first medical-marijuana dispensaries could be open as soon as July, says Will Humble, director of the state Department of Health Services.

The first state-authorized medical marijuana dispensaries will likely open in Arizona this summer, said Will Humble, director of the state Department of Health Services.

Humble, addressing TV viewers minutes ago on Channel 8's (KAET-TV) Horizon news show, said his agency would be awarding the first licenses by mid-June.

"If someone was really ready to go -- they had their business plan and everything ready -- we could see some dispensaries in, say, mid-July, maybe early August," he said.

While that's good news for the state's registered medical-marijuana patients, who now total more than 18,000, it also means the dispensaries will be arriving about a year late.

Voters approved Proposition 203 in the November 2010 election, authorizing the use, cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana for qualified users. The new law gave the DHS power to create an administration system for privately owned dispensaries, the number of which would be capped to 10 percent of the state's pharmacies.

Investors and entrepreneurs prepared to turn the pipe dream of marijuana advocates into reality, with hopes for a literally budding billion-dollar industry.

But Governor Jan Brewer and state Attorney General Tom Horne, both Republicans and vocal opponents of Prop 203, had other plans.

Governor Jan Brewer's legal opposition to medical marijuana has received some setbacks lately.

After the prop squeaked into a narrow victory, Horne met with representatives of the group that had opposed it. They discussed filing a lawsuit in federal court to halt the dispensaries. A few months later, following a letter by then-Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke reiterating that federal law still prohibited marijuana, Brewer filed the lawsuit and stopped the DHS from accepting dispensary applications.

Caregivers and qualified patients continued to received state authorization to grow, share and use medical marijuana.

Two major court rulings on the issue this month nuked Brewer's plans to thwart Arizona voters.

Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton tossed out the federal lawsuit, which basically had asked the judge to determine whether Arizona's law was legal. Bolton said the request for declaratory judgment was premature, because it hinged on the untested notion that state workers were at risk of being prosecuted for administering the program.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Richard Gama ruled a couple of weeks later that the people had spoken and Brewer lacked the discretion to put any portion of the new law on hold. He ordered the state to launch the program as voters intended.

The ruling was in a lawsuit against the state brought by one would-be dispensary operator, Compassion First, LLC, which had opposed some of the rules for dispensary owners invented by the DHS. Gama threw out some of those rules, including a residency requirement.

Humble tells New Times the state has no plans to appeal Gama's ruling. A new rule package based in part on Gama's order can be done "really quickly," with dispensary applications accepted in April, he predicts.
A lottery for the best applicants in each designated area will likely be held in June, following a 45-day review period, Humble says. And that means dispensaries by mid-summer.

On Horizon, Humble said the demand for dispensaries may be less than predicted, in part due to the temporarily derailed process in Arizona and concern of a crackdown by federal authorities.

Arizona's soon-to-be blossoming dispensary industry, which includes authorized cultivation centers, comes as federal authorities in Colorado and California move to close down some of the pot shops.

Tranzbyte continues to remain actively engaged in the marketing of its optical media enhancement products the company has developed over the past 10 years to potential customers in the US and Asia.

Marijuana Smoke Not as Damaging as Tobacco, Says Study
By MIKAELA CONLEY | ABC News

Marijuana Smoke Not as Damaging as Tobacco, Says Study (ABC News)
Occasional marijuana use does not appear to have long-term adverse effects on lung function, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and University of California at San Francisco analyzed marijuana and tobacco use among 5,000 black and white men from the national database, CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study), which was intended to determine heart disease risk factors over a 20-year period.
Measuring participants' lung function for air flow and lung volume five times throughout the study period, the researchers found that cigarette smokers saw lung function worsen throughout the 20-year period, but marijuana smokers did not. Only the heaviest pot smokers (more than 20 joints per month) showed decreased lung function throughout the study.
"The more typical amounts of marijuana use among Americans are occasional or low levels," said Dr. Stefan Kertesz, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and principle investigator of the study. "From the standpoint of being a scientist, these data suggest that low and moderate range use of marijuana do not do long-term harm."
But, he cautioned, the research should not be viewed as a green light to toke up.
"As a primary care doctor, I see patients who have problems with drugs and alcohol," Kertesz said. "This is a complicated substance that has a lot of potential effects on human life and well-being."
Among the study participants, the average pot smoker lit up two to three times per month. The average tobacco user smoked eight cigarettes per day.
Those who smoked less than the heaviest actually saw a slight increase in air flow and lung function. But otherwise, researchers actually saw a slight increase in lung function among marijuana users.
While an adult male blows out about four liters of air in one second, those who occasionally smoked weed could blow out those four liters, plus another 50 milliliters -- about one-seventh of a soda can. Kertesz said that the enhanced lung capacity could be due to the extended and heavy inhalations done while smoking marijuana rather than any beneficial effect.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the United States. About 16.7 million Americans 12 and older reported using marijuana at least once in the month prior to a survey conducted in 2009 by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Still, the debate goes on as to whether pot should be legalized. So far, 16 states have legalized the substance for medical use to curb symptoms in patients with pain, AIDS, cancer and several other conditions.
"This research will no doubt contribute to the public dialogue on marijuana, but it is far from conclusive when weighing the risks versus benefits of smoked marijuana in different populations," a spokesperson for the National Institute of Drug Abuse said in an email. "For example, it is not clear how these findings relate to patients whose levels of exposure to marijuana are not known, who may be vulnerable as a result of their illness, and/or who are using marijuana to attempt to treat symptoms related to chronic conditions."
As an institute that studies drug abuse, NIDA noted that the results should not overshadow other established harmful effects of marijuana, such as adverse effects on cognition, potential for psychosis or panic during intoxication and the risk of addiction, which occurs in 9 percent of users.
Some health experts have questioned whether the study's findings are conclusive. Robert MacCoun, professor of public policy and law at University of California at Berkeley, said that while the study was carefully conducted, the results are purely correlational.
"The results must be interpreted cautiously," MacCoun said. "For example, it is difficult to be certain that any comparison between the non-smokers and marijuana smokers actually reflects effects of marijuana, rather than some other differences between the groups."
Experts agreed that the study does not provide evidence that marijuana smoking is healthy for the lungs, but that marijuana is indeed a complex substance.
"I think what is most striking about the results is that we are so accustomed to studies emphasizing, and sometimes exaggerating, how dangerous marijuana is for users' health," MacCoun said. "So this study is a cautionary note that we still have a lot to learn about this complex psychoactive plant."

Jesse arrived in NY after leaving Denver on the red eye at 1:00 AM MST this morning and although she doesn't like to fly she's headed to Madison Square Gardens for New Years Phish Fry. Gonna have some fun in NYC. Must be nice to be young dumb and stupid instead of old and dumb like me...Francine Reed. Adam just saw Sts9 and not sure what he's doing but we're keeping Kaya. We'll be throwing the tennis ball and Frisbee, eating BBQ, drinking Pepsi Flashbacks, relaxing while listening to some 70's rock, rhythm and blues and the wife will be flipping channels until we hear for the youngins. I&I will talk soon and perhaps next year we can continue to meet or exceed our goals. You have a great New Years celebration. Whatever you do, be safe and enjoy.

That was an interesting HESG article recently posted Dec 22 by facetime http://relevant.at/wirtschaft/print/372762/health-sciences-group-inc-hesg-strategic-swot-analysis-review-published.story Can't wait to find out more since this is something I didn't know although it sounds more like the old business model. Why the foreign article? Are they or considering being traded on any other exchange? Thanks for all you do. All the best peace & love WeBjammin

Oh yea, WDMG.pk is still trading although they are being forced into involuntary bankruptcy. I heard the CEO Winston tell the trustee in the last hearing that he is working with Wesley Snipes and making $20K a month for some Wesley Snipes game, Julius Styles: The International. It is amazing what he is getting away with as a public company raising funds of $35M or more since 2007 without a real business although he had a great office with wonderful view and a fantastic business plan. If he had of done half of what he said we'd all be in a different position. You know, we've discussed this for awhile.

Happy New Year to everyone on the board.

What do they call it a dead cat bounce, come on HESG give us a reason, an idea, maybe some North American news, a K or Q or a business plan or even a non-audited report

Happy New Year!

97 days and counting...23 to go

Hey neophyte,

Please re-post the link for the letter to President Obama. I&I could not get it to open.

By the way, I&I appreciate your post and hope that the negativity of a few people will not keep you from continuing writing Friedman, doing DD and posting results as you do.

As of today, there are 12 states voting next November of 2012 on cannabis, medical cannabis and hemp laws. That's not to far off and is election time as well.

I&I do have a select few in office on our side. Check this link out and just maybe I&I can put some human beings in office that has our best interest at the forefront of their agenda

http://www.americanselect.org/

Spent some time this week answering the 200+ questions. Don't be in a hurry. You can see how every state compares to your own way of looking at the issues. Just highlight/roll over all the answers as you go for state-by state results. It's not like you have to answer all questions but thought it very interesting how I&I feel about the issues compared to others. Many times agreeing and many times not.

You will be interested in knowing at the time I answered the questions about marijuana there were 66% of the people that strongly favor legalization, 21% somewhat favor, 5% somewhat oppose, 6% strongly oppose and 1% were unsure of some form. Anyone who gets on link to do this survey please post the percentages for marijuana as you answer the questions about marijuana legalization. Grab the pages or print them so you can post percentage results

GLTA

Many thanks!

Irie WeBjammin soon
