Marijuana Drug FactsMarijuana is a green or gray mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. There are over 200 slang terms for marijuana including pot, herb, weed, boom, Mary Jane, gangster, and chronic. It is usually smoked as a cigarette called a joint or a nail or in a pipe or bong. In recent years, marijuana has appeared in blunts, which are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with marijuana, often in combination with another drug, such as crack. Some users also mix marijuana into foods or use it to brew tea. The main active chemical in marijuana is THC delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. In 1988, it was discovered that the membranes of certain nerve cells contain protein receptors that bind THC. Once securely in place, THC kicks off a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana. The short term effects of marijuana use include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem-solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate, anxiety, and panic attacks. Marijuana is virtually the only drug licit or illicit that is not water soluble, with the result that its metabolites not the drug itself stay in the system far longer than traces of other drugs. This means that if a person used marijuana two weeks ago his urine is more likely to test positive for it than if he used cocaine two days ago. It is obvious then that marijuana use is much more readily detected than the use of hard drugs, which has the perverse effect of encouraging hard drug use. Is this really what employers want No, but it is quite clear that this is what the government wants. Some studies and marijuana test facts show that when people have smoked large amounts of marijuana for years, the drug takes its role on mental functions. Heavy or daily use of marijuana affects the parts of the brain that control memory, attention and learning. Smoking marijuana causes some changes in the brain that are like those caused by cocaine, heroin and alcohol. Scientists are still learning about the many ways that marijuana can affect the brain.

(And you should know, the team is not notified of the first two positive tests, so its not like the Indiana Pacers were burying their heads in the sand. ) That said, if somebody told me, "Bob, under the terms of your employment, you have to pass drug tests from October until May," youd better believe I would remain clean.

Bouchard is not denying anybody pain relief ultimately, but Bouchard is wasting valuable resources on ensuring working Americans like myself cant take a load off after work with Puff the magic dragon. Youre beating a dead horse Bouchard, its gonna be legalized. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard on Thursday defended raids on two local medical marijuana dispensaries, likening the operations to "organized crime" while calling on legislators to clarify Michigan law.

2010-08-19 Will pot-growing proposal pass the sniff test - LA Daily NewsThere would be no marijuana sales onsite, proponents said. Instead, they see the farm as an alternative to the growers and warehouses that now supply dispensaries across the state with illicit, untested or pesticide-ridden pot. Jason Oh, center, and Daniel Jaimes, right, are the founders of Plant Properties Management. They hope to use a vacant warehouse in Canoga Park to safely and legally grow marijuana. The warehouse they hope to use once housed an illegal marijuana operation. The owner of the property is Eric Prince who is seen inthe background. (Andy Holzman/Daily News Staff Photographer) It took some nosy Los Angeles police to sniff out 850 marijuana plants growing 25 feet behind their Canoga Park station.

2010-08-18 Does reaction to Haslem arrest reveal a double standard Ethan Skolnicks Season Ticket Sun-SentinelI can understand not being surprised about anyone smoking marijuana, but for someone in Haslems position to carry around 20 grams while speeding is utterly ridiculous as a risk for him to take. Every bit as ridiculous as Mario and Michael at rookie camp. The difference is Mario and Michael were kidsrookies. Haslem is a seasoned veteran, whose on-court skill-set doesnt exactly give him carte blanche for character issues. He was chosen as a team captain for his leadership off the court more than anything he has ever done on it. In wasnt fair for the media to constantly hold Haslem up as a do nothing wrong member of the Heat family or Miami community, any more than it was fair to constantly compare Beasley to him so as to find some short-coming in Beasleys individual character.

2010-08-16 Cop talk: Legal pot will increase crashes, deaths, arrests and raquo; Redding Record SearchlightI have no doubt that should marijuana be legalized, the scientific community will be there to provide a measuring device that law enforcement can use in the field. I know there are already some tests that can be administered in the field, but Im not certain that they can detect anything more than the presence of marijuana, as compared with a specific amount. Marijuana stays in your system much longer than alcohol does. So you may not be impaired, but it still shows up in your system. This may not seem like much of an issue. But in those cases where a driver has been involved in a fatal or injury crash, is unable to perform a field sobriety test and his blood test comes back showing he had marijuana in his system, there are going to be issues. Id be interested in what you (law enforcement in general or you specifically) see happening if marijuana is made legal by the voters in November.
