Well the results are in, and they are no surprise! In a recent poll, 21% of Canadians said they want soft drugs, like marijuana, decriminalized, and 34% want them fully legalized and taxed like tobacco. 20% of Canadians want tougher penalties for people caught with cannabis.

More men than women believe marijuana should be legalized, and, as expected, younger Canadians (aged 18-34) are more open to legalization or decriminalization than those aged 65 and over. British Columbians are the most open to slacker laws with about half of those surveyed saying they want marijuana legalized and taxed the same way tobacco and alcohol are. While Quebec and British Columbia, the second and third largest provinces in Canada, have traditionally lead the marijuana-reform movement, there’s a growing demand for reform in Ontario, Canada’s largest province. This trend shows that many of Canad’as major urban centres are becoming more liberal when it comes to soft drugs, esspecially marijuana.

However, the Conservative government has no plans to soften marijuana laws says Pamela Stephens, a spokeswoman for justice minister Rob Nicholson. “Unlike the Liberals, we have no intention of decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana,” said Stephens.The Conservatives have also made a host of anti-drug initiatives since taking office. “Our message is clear: if you sell or produce drugs, you’ll pay with jail time,” Stephens said. While several US states have decriminalized marijuana for non-medical purposes, it remains illegal in Canada unless users have a medical marijuaan license.

The survey was conducted from July 26 to July 28, 2010 and surveyed 1531 Canadians aged 18 and older. It is considered accurate to within 2.5 percentage points.

It’s always a tough time in football when teams come to the unfortunate decision to cut or save a player’s season. Although I’m not an athlete, I think it’s fair to say that this would be the equivalent of being demoted at the workplace, only to see all of your hard work in training camp go to waste, for a head coach to say “Sorry, we have to let you go.” So far this preseason, we’ve seen a …

Cocaine: ChEBI Entity of the Month 26 August 2009.

The notion of us all carrying cocaine (ChEBI:27958) in our wallets, purses or packets may not be as outrageous or unlikely as we might think! In what researchers describe as the largest, most comprehensive analysis to date of cocaine contamination in banknotes, scientists are reporting that 95% of dollar bills in Washington DC bear traces of the illegal drug cocaine, with high levels also oberved in other big cities, such as Baltimore, Boston and Detroit [1]. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth tested notes from more than 30 cities from five countries (United States, Canada, Brazil, China and Japan). "To my surprise, we’re finding more and more cocaine in banknotes," said lead researcher Yuegang Zuo. He suggested the rise may be due to the economic downturn, "with stressed people turning to cocaine". The U.S. and Canada were found to have the highest levels, with an average contamination rate of between 85 and 90 percent, while China and Japan had the lowest, between 12 and 20 percent contamination [1]. In the U.S. the cleanest bills were collected from Salt Lake City, home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, better known as the Mormons [1].Scientists have known for years that paper money can become contaminated with cocaine during drug deals and directly via snorting cocaine through rolled bills. Large-scale contamination is thought to take place when the notes are stacked together in currency-counting machines. In the new study, Zuo and colleagues used a modified form of a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer for their measurements [2]. This allowed a faster, simpler and more accurate measurement of cocaine contamination than other methods, without destroying the currency. Amounts found in the 234 U.S. banknotes analysed ranged from .006 micrograms (thousands of times smaller than a single grain of sand) to over 1,240 micrograms of cocaine, or the equivalent of about 50 grains of sand, per bill. Zuo downplayed any health or legal concerns linked to the handling of contaminated notes. "For the most part, you can’t get high by sniffing a regular banknote, unless it was used directly in drug uptake or during a drug exchange", Zuo said. "It also won’t affect your health and is unlikely to interfere with blood and urine tests used for drug detection". The study, Zuo said, could help increase public awareness of cocaine use and help curb its abuse by assisting law enforcement agencies and forensic specialists to identify how the drug is used in a given community.

Childhood cancer survivors 5 times more likely to get cancer again: Study

According to a new study, children who survive cancer are at a higher risk of cancer later in life or may die early of other cause. The study included almost 900 young cancer survivors treated at Sydney Children’s Hospital, from 1972 to 1999, alongside new cancer cases and early deaths. The risk of cancer was five times higher in childhood cancer survivors, the results showed, compared with the …

Essential Drugs For Anxiety Disorders

According to survey report, most of the people around the world are suffering with anxiety disorders, severe pains and trauma care wound and many more diseases. At this point, there are some essential drugs are available in the present market to get relief. Here are some of the important drugs to get relief from anxiety disorders.

Cannabis is the geek word for “hemp”, from which the word “canvas” is derived, after the plants fibrousness. A genus containing a single species of tall coarse annual, found in most moist soils, especially as a weed of nitrogen-rich soils near human habitation. Cultivation, harvesting, and processing of cannabis plants are subject to legal restrictions in many countries. Approved varieties many be cultivated for its fiber (hemp). Cannabis sativa is a strong-smelling, variable annual with long taproot, erect branched stems and palmate leaves. Panicles of small green flowers appear in summer, male and female on separate plants.

For excellent results and reliable performance, Early Skunk could qualify as the best all-round strain in the Sense Seed Bank Outdoor collection. Now available as a feminized skunk seeds variety, growers no longer even need to eliminate males at the start of the flowering period. Just like the original, feminized Skunk seeds produce tough, fast and amazingly vibrant plants that produce lush, heavy harvests of dank, frosted bud in virtually any climate.

The feminized cannabis is produced starting with selected clones of plants of very high quality. In the Netherlands it is common choice to start with plants that are used for coffeehouse production. These female plants are sprayed with special silver salts; this provokes the production of male flowers. But the palm in these flowers will only carry the female chromosome. Once crossed with another female, the offspring will only be female. Beside the fact that feminized seeds generate only female plants, there can be other advantages. One of them is that is possible to “clone a plant as a seed”. Of course this expression is scientifically ridiculous, but it gives really well the idea: crossing a plant with itself will carry out to the offspring a great number of the characters of the mother-plant, resulting really similar to a clone. The growers of a plant that is illegal in most of the planet seems to appreciate the predictability most of all!

Bongs are available in different shapes, sizes, materials, and colors. Bongs are commonly made of acrylic, ceramic, glass, and metal. Some people even carve out temporary bongs from fruits and vegetables. Research shows that smoking from a bong is less harmful than other forms of smoking because of the filtering through water. Instead of water, many bong users use flavored drinks and alcohol. These may not only reduce the effect of tobacco, but may also be inflammable. A problem with bongs is that they must be cleaned periodically and the water changed, otherwise you could end up inhaling a lot of dirt!

If you are the typical party animal who likes to spend time with friends and associates, there are some means you can heighten the degree of your enjoyment. Legal herbs offer legal high alternatives that can magnify pleasant vibes and pleasurable sensations without fear of getting busted for using illegal substances.

Legal herbs and marijuana alternatives also provide drug harm minimization solution, which is another good reason why they have become a market winner. This simply means that herbal smoke products are sold to attain a legal high that do not cause any injurious physical and physiological result to the user. While there’s a spontaneous inclination for a lot of people to search for mind altering but pleasing sensations, self-preservation is also instinctive; thus many are cautious about the perilous downside of illegal substances, including marijuana.

Snuff bullets are rapidly becoming the modern day equivalent of the good old fashioned snuff box. Amongst the younger generations, carrying nasal snuff tobacco in a bullet is surprisingly starting to be seen as a must have fashion accessory. Snuff bullets come in all different shapes and sizes, most are about 5cm to 7 cm tall, so can be easily carried in one’s pocket and several allow for changes in snuff dosage measurement adjustments, which allow snuff to delivered in convenient single shot doses as determined by the individual user at the turn of a dial.

Historically, the giving of a snuff box as a gift was seen as an ideal present for any gentleman or lady – no matter their social class. It would appear with the rise in snuff usage that the snuff bullet will soon replace the snuff box as the ideal present to give to any gentleman or lady in the twenty first century.
