Occupy L.A. Sees Free Marijuana Thanks to Medical Cannabis Supporters
Category: Culture | Posted on Tue, November, 29th 2011 by THCFinder
Those enduring the elements and the threats of eviction at the Occupy L.A. encampment outside City Hall have been able to count on at least one amenity this month:
Free weed.
That's right. Medical marijuana activists have been quietly (or brazenly, depending on your outlook) handing out small amounts of free weed to patients who need it, longtime decriminalization supporter Richard W. Eastman tells the Weekly today. It all started ...
... Nov. 5 and 6, when Eastman and friends handed out two pounds (two pounds!) of cannabis at Occupy L.A. to celebrate the anniversary of 215 and the role of the initiative's co-author, Dennis Perone.
Eastman:
We fed everybody and gave them free medicine, no questions asked. We didn't even check doctor's recommendations. But we did check IDs to see if they were a minor.
He says the weed was given out in 1 gram increments. Cops tried to stop him and fellow pot activists but backed off, he said:
The police tried to bother us the second day. We reminded them of our First Amendmend rights and that we were giving out medical marijuana information, and they didn't bother us.
In the last few days and weeks Eastman, one of the first dispensary operators in Southern California, continued the tradition, too:
For the last couple weeks I've given out a couple more ounces for the people who really need it.
War sucks!

Move Over Mary Jane, UCI May Unlock The 'Bliss Molecule'
Category: News | Posted on Mon, November, 28th 2011 by THCFinder
No inhaling necessary—your brain produces a marijuana-like chemical with the ability to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression, and scientists are uncovering more about how this neurotransmitter works.
Sometimes called “the bliss molecule,” the brain chemical anandamide is one of the compounds produced by the endocannabinoid system. These compounds are very similar to the active ingredient in marijuana, THC.
A new study by UC Irvine researchers reveals that a protein in the brain ferries anandamide to sites in brain cells where enzymes break down and inactivate the “bliss” chemical. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that blocking this protein increases the potency of anandamide, and may unlock new possibilities in pain control.
The revelation about anandamide transport and breakdown opens up the potential to develop pain medications that don’t produce sedation, addiction, or other central nervous system effects associated with opiates, which are often used to control severe and chronic pain.
UCI professor of pharmacology Daniele Piomelli led the team that interpreted how the protein, called FLAT, binds with anandamide and escorts it to cell sites where it is broken down by fatty acid amide hydrolase, or FAAH, enzymes. This process inactivates the “bliss” effect of anandamide.

Miley Cyrus admits shes a stoner!
Category: Celebrities | Posted on Mon, November, 28th 2011 by THCFinder
HollywoodNews.com: Miley Cyrus’ rep is doing some clean up as the young star recently commented during her birthday that she is a “stoner.”
Her rep is now commenting that the birthday matter was all a simple joke, states UsMagazine.com. “It’s all been taken out of context. The cake was a joke and Miley’s response was intended to be sarcastic,” her rep commented.
Miley reportedly received a Bob Marley cake and commented, “You know you’re a stoner when your friends make you a Bob Marley cake. You know you smoke way too much f-cking weed!”
Miley did get in some hot water back when she was caught on tape supposedly smoking salvia.
Do you think it was all a joke?
