World’s Deadliest Drugs Image by mkandlez
Last week, the UK government has sacked its most senior drugs advisor, Dr Professor Nutt, after he claimed cannabis was no more harmful than alcohol. And that horse-riding was riskier than taking ecstasy.
(Technically he’s right. The lifetime odds of dying from ecstasy overdose is 1 in 17,803. The risk of dying from horse-riding is around double – 1 in 7,833.)
Taking the science behind his statement and mashing it up with press coverage of drug risks creates an interesting picture.

“We the People is a higher thought,” opened Bryan W. Brickner, “and the serotonin system is fundamental to all thoughts.”
In We the People and Synaptic Serotonin (5-HT) Science, a new update on the Bryan William Brickner Blog, the focus is serotonergic homeostasis, with particular attention on the central nervous system. In January, Brickner published Shivitti: A Review of Ka-Tzetnik 135633’s Vision, a serotonin system (lysergic acid, LSD) book review on healing Auschwitz nightmares. Today’s post continues the serotonin and healing – for all people – storyline with new 2015 science from the National Institutes of Health (PubMed), which highlights: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), 5-HT3 receptors and OCD, prefrontal cortex (brain) and 5-HT2A receptors, and genetic research on suicide and the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT, SERT).
“There are two today on OCD,” explained Brickner, “with one on the robust data supporting the effectiveness of treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the acknowledged first-line pharmacological treatment of choice.”
“The second OCD serotonin report is scanty,” Brickner continued, “as the research is hampered by a lack of data; the scientific interest is in the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor and OCD patients – though a PubMed review only turned up six publications on the topic, not enough to draw valid conclusions.”
“For the brain serotonin science,” noted Brickner, “research shows the 5-HT2A receptors in the prefrontal cortex regulating dopamine release; this stimulates a ‘long-loop’ feedback system from the cortex to other parts of the brain … and back.”
“With suicide and the serotonin transporter, SERT,” Brickner closed, “the science shows only a small genetic association while pointing out the politically obvious: the serotonin system is part of every suicide solution.”
Brickner has a 1997 political science doctorate from Purdue University and is the author of several political theory books, to include: The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises (1999), Article the first of the Bill of Rights (2006), and Shivitti: A Review of Ka-Tzetnik 135633’s Vision (2015). He also writes political fiction, such as the novella thereafter (2013), and is the publisher of The Cannabis Papers: A citizen’s guide to cannabinoids (2011) and The Bryan William Brickner Blog, a resource for the political science of constitutions and the biological science of receptors.
Next Ew Publishing: Tomorrow, Sunday 22 February, We the People, Publius and Homeostatic Cannabinoids.
“Teamwork is homeostasis,” opened Bryan W. Brickner, “and it’s the little things that count – that create the conditions for any game-winning moment.”
In Teamwork: Publius’ Super Bowl of Cannabinoid Science ~ New Homeostasis on the Bryan William Brickner Blog, today’s spotlight celebrates the little things – in sports as in life – that function without acclaim. Publius, of The Cannabis Papers: A citizen’s guide to cannabinoids (2011), showcases four recent PubMed cannabinoid system (CS) articles discussing: management of neuroinflammatory (brain) disorders, CB1 anti-aversive panic properties, obesity and the therapeutic agents THCV and CBD, and cannabinoids as a tool in modern cancer pharmacotherapy.
“Cannabinoid signaling in the brain,” noted Brickner, “is endowed with significant immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties; the reviewed science shows this to be in both peripheral tissues and in the CNS, indicating a CS role in the management of brain disorders.”
“The panic controlling actions of cannabinoids will be evident Sunday,” Brickner chuckled, “and the new science tells how our CB1 receptors have a direct impact.”
“The obesity update shows two cannabinoids, THCV and CBD,” continued Brickner, “with positive results in treating hepatosteatosis, a liver disease.”
“Cannabinoids benefiting chemotherapeutics,” closed Brickner, “continues the CS anti-cancer narrative; the PubMed abstract notes the teamwork nature of cannabinoids and sees them as a player in modern cancer pharmacotherapy.”
Brickner has a 1997 political science doctorate from Purdue University and is the author of several political theory books, to include: The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises (1999), Article the first of the Bill of Rights (2006), and Shivitti: A Review of Ka-Tzetnik 135633’s Vision (2015).

Cannabis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the plant genus. For use as a psychoactive drug, see Cannabis (drug). For other uses, see Cannabis (disambiguation).
Cannabis (/ˈkænəbɪs/) is a genus of flowering plants that includes three putative varieties, Cannabis sativa,[1] Cannabis indica,[1] and Cannabis ruderalis. These three taxa are indigenous to Central Asia, and South Asia.[2] Cannabis has long been used for fibre (hemp), for seed and seed oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from Cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. To satisfy the UN Narcotics Convention, some Cannabis strains have been bred to produce minimal levels of THC, the principal psychoactive constituent responsible for the “high” associated with marijuana. Marijuana consists of the dried flowers of Cannabis plants selectively bred to produce high levels of THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids. Various extracts including hashish and hash oil are also produced from the plant.[3]
=============================================
Description
Cannabis is an annual, dioecious, flowering herb. The leaves are palmately compound or digitate, with serrate leaflets.[9] The first pair of leaves usually have a single leaflet, the number gradually increasing up to a maximum of about thirteen leaflets per leaf (usually seven or nine), depending on variety and growing conditions. At the top of a flowering plant, this number again diminishes to a single leaflet per leaf. The lower leaf pairs usually occur in an opposite leaf arrangement and the upper leaf pairs in an alternate arrangement on the main stem of a mature plant.
The leaves have a peculiar and diagnostic venation pattern that enables persons poorly familiar with the plant to distinguish a Cannabis leaf from unrelated species that have confusingly similar leaves (see illustration). As is common in serrated leaves, each serration has a central vein extending to its tip. However,the serration vein originates from lower down the central vein of the leaflet, typically opposite to the position of, not the first notch down, but the next notch. This means that on its way from the midrib of the leaflet to the point of the serration, the vein serving the tip of the serration passes close by the intervening notch. Sometimes the vein will actually pass tangent to the notch, but often it will pass by at a small distance, and when that happens a spur vein (occasionally a pair of such spur veins) branches off and joins the leaf margin at the deepest point of the notch. This venation pattern varies slightly among varieties, but in general it enables one to tell Cannabis leaves from superficially similar leaves without difficulty and without special equipment. Tiny samples of Cannabis plants also can be identified with precision by microscopic examination of leaf cells and similar features, but that requires special expertise and equipment.[10]
Cannabis normally has imperfect flowers, with staminate “male” and pistillate “female” flowers occurring on separate plants.[11] It is not unusual, however, for individual plants to bear both male and female flowers.[12] Although monoecious plants are often referred to as “hermaphrodites,” true hermaphrodites (which are less common) bear staminate and pistillate structures on individual flowers, whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant. Male flowers are normally borne on loose panicles, and female flowers are borne on racemes.[13] “At a very early period the Chinese recognized the Cannabis plant as dioecious,”[14] and the (ca. 3rd century BCE) Erya dictionary defined xi 枲 “male Cannabis” and fu 莩 (or ju 苴) “female Cannabis”.[15]
All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated[16] and the fruit is an achene.[17] Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants,[16] with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as “auto-flowering” and may be day-neutral.

Stock promotion is serious business and commonplace in the SmallCap arena, but it is a necessary demon for the undercapitalized companies to market themselves and attract more investors. Stocks using this usually effective method are trying to expand their investor base and ramp up volume, but don’t fall in love with all the bells and whistles because one thing for sure… they are almost always short-lived. It’s just simple market correction that’s all… you can’t expect a stock to gain 50 percent one day and not give any back the next. The best move is to buy early (i.e. when you first receive the promo e-mail) or not at all because after a couple of hours most of the buying is done anyway and the price usually dips back down.
One company from the SmallCap space this morning that looks to be under some sort of promotion campaign is Cannabis Science (OTC:CBIS) because the last news from this company was issued way back in September. Also, a look into their financials will show you that they are a development stage company with no revenue and an accumulative deficit of nearly $ 60 million.
Already today Cannabis Science has traded nearly 2 million shares and hit a 52-week high of almost 6 cents. This stock trades so rarely that it does not even have an average daily volume so stock promotion is definitely one of the possibilities. Another important factor to point out is the business they are engaged in – medical marijuana – is still in such an early stage, both politically and economically, no one really knows what is going to happen with it. The time-frame for profitability could be 20 years instead of 5 like many hope. Definitely do your due diligence and research on this company before clicking the “buy” tab because you could be sitting on these 6 cent shares for quite a while.
Cannabis Science is one of the companies engaged in pharmaceutical grade medical marijuana research and development. The Company works with world authorities on phytocannabinoid science targeting critical illnesses, and adheres to scientific methodologies to develop, produce and commercialize phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products. In sum, Cannabis Science are dedicated to the creation of cannabis-based medicines, both with and without psychoactive properties, to treat disease and the symptoms of disease, as well as for general health maintenance.

You might not know who Arjan Roskam is, but you’ve probably smoked his weed. Arjan’s been breeding some of the most famous marijuana strains in the world—like White Widow, Super Silver Haze, and many others—for over 20 years.
In 1992 he opened his first coffee shop in Amsterdam and has since crafted his marijuana-breeding skills into a market-savvy empire known as Green House Seed Company, which rakes in millions of dollars a year.
He’s won 38 Cannabis Cups and has dubbed himself the King of Cannabis.
VICE joins Arjan and his crew of strain hunters in Colombia to look for three of the country’s rarest types of weed, strains that have remained genetically pure for decades. In grower’s terms, these are called landraces. We trudge up mountains and crisscross military checkpoints in the country’s still-violent south, and then head north to the breathtaking Caribbean coast. As the dominoes of criminalization fall throughout the world, Arjan is positioned to be at the forefront of the legitimate international seed trade.
