PCIO - New Rasmussen Poll Showing 75% of Americans Support the Use of Medical Marijuana by Adults If Prescribed by a Physician Galvanizing Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: PCIO) and Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) Into the Forefront
Aug 5, 2010 4:37:00 AM
MARINA DEL RAY, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/05/10 -- Marijuana Incorporated (PINKSHEETS: PCIO) (http://www.marijuana-incorporated.com) and Medical Marijuana, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MJNA) has been galvanized by the New Rasmussen Poll showing 75% of Americans support the use of Medical Marijuana by Adults if prescribed by a physician, up from 63% last October. This number clearly shows that a large majority believes in the efficacy of Cannabis, and is an indication that the 14 States and the District of Columbia, recognizing Medical Marijuana were on the right course in fulfilling the will of their citizens.
"We see these numbers as a 'Tipping Point,'" stated CEO Bruce Perlowin. "More states that are currently in the process of Legalization efforts will certainly come into the fold and it is also interesting to note that the Poll showed that 95% believe that it is likely that Marijuana will be fully legalized in the next 10 years.
Furthermore, Rasmussen shows that the California Bill to Tax and Regulate Cannabis, Prop 19, has 52% approving while opposed by only 36% indicating strongly that recreational Marijuana will be legal in California in November. Additionally, the City of Detroit is also voting this November to legalize recreational Marijuana.
These facts underscore the decision by PCIO to apply for and receive a name change to "Marijuana, Inc." and jump into this quickly emerging multi-billion dollar industry. With several divisions being created in Marijuana, Inc., from 420 friendly resorts, to licensing the rights of Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s (PINKSHEETS: MJNA) attractive logo for an entire clothing line, Marijuana, Inc. is positioning itself to be a leader and trend setter in the medical marijuana, cannabis, hemp and related peripheral industries.
NO way with the swings this one is having.... its always nice to grab a few cheapees for a starter position, when no ones looking. Very volatile! Either way we should have a pretty good idea which way the vote will go before 90Day mark.

For some reason i cant send you PM's.
What i like, he is NOT diluting the crap out of CAVR like most otc/pink plays. As you can tell most of the volume came from a huge up day, consolidated the next at around recent gains and then you have a measly 400k day that took it down??? Someone loaded up! IMO Was it for a coming announcement?
Was a buyer here 2day, just been poking around. Iam really liken my chances especially with marijuana being in the for-front of a lot of main stream debates in the U.S.If this guy can pull something together, this could reek some HUGE REWARDS, especially from this PPS.
I also like the FACT they are not changing the whole business model from the preachers coffee gig BUT more so expanding into another market. + For me....
This was a bit of dilution.... Will post a couple L2 shots tomorrow to see if we can figure whats going on and who our X is.
Israel to soothe trauma with marijuana

Israel to soothe trauma with marijuana
By Corinne Heller
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli soldiers traumatised by battle with the Palestinians have a new, unconventional weapon to exorcise their nightmares -- marijuana.
Under an experimental programme, Delta-9 tetrohydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient found in the cannabis plant, will be administered to 15 soldiers over the next several months in an effort to fight post-traumatic stress disorder.
Raphael Mechoulam of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, the chief researcher behind a project he described as a world-first, said the chemical could trick the brain into suppressing unwanted memories.
For soldiers haunted by flashbacks of traumatic battle experiences, he said, the drug, administered in liquid form, could be the answer to hundreds of sleepless nights.
"It helps them sleep better, for one thing. These people often wake up from nightmares, and experience sweating or hallucinations," Mechoulam told Reuters.
The army said civilian and military committees had approved the experiment.
Millions of people, mainly war veterans, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, a psychiatric condition that can develop after experiencing life-threatening events.
MEDICAL USES
Doctors already use so-called medical marijuana to treat nausea among cancer patients, appetite loss among AIDS sufferers and neurological disorders such as Tourette's Syndrome, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
However, Mechoulam said this is the first time THC would be used to treat post-traumatic stress.
Some of the soldiers slated to take part in the experiment came down with the disorder after experiences confronting a Palestinian uprising which began in 2000. Others are veterans of past Israeli-Arab wars.
Symptoms can be eased by painkillers and psychological treatment but THC could speed up the process, or at least reduce the number of traumatic episodes, said Mechoulam. He was among a group of researchers that first isolated THC in 1964.
"If given two or three times a day, it lasts about six hours at a time," Mechoulam said at his office in the university's School of Pharmacy.
The effects of THC on stress were first discovered by Germany's Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in 2002. Scientists tested it on mice and found THC lessened their fear of electric shocks, because it suppressed their memory of them.
PERMITS REQUIRED
Israel's army usually frowns on cannabis and soldiers caught smoking it can expect to be stripped of their ranks or thrown into military jail. Special government authorisation was needed for the experiment.
"A medical permit is needed for what is called 'compassionate use' of marijuana, which means it's used to treat illnesses ... when nothing else seems to work," Mechoulam said.
Smoking marijuana, as an estimated eight percent of Israelis aged 18-40 do, does not act as a medicine on its own, he said.
"The drug is only approved for medical use, and its active curing ingredient, THC, must be isolated and used in medical treatment," he said.
Instead of smoking the drug, soldiers will drink THC dissolved in olive oil.
"We prefer to give it under the tongue rather than through a pill because it's more effective. I hope (the drug) will help at least part of the time, so they can sleep better more often," Mechoulam said.
If successful, the treatment could be tried elsewhere.
The U.S. National Centre for Mental Health says that 30 percent of Americans who spent time in war zones have experienced the disorder, dubbed "shell shock" by veterans of World War One.
Surveys conducted by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington in 2003 found that nearly a fifth of U.S. soldiers returning from the war in Iraq may suffer from the disorder.
A million Vietnam War veterans are believed to have developed it as well.
A New York Academy of Medicine poll found that levels of post-traumatic stress disorder doubled among New York City residents a few weeks after the September 11 attacks.
