| |  THE TOP NEWS IN MARIJUANA LAW REFORM Volume 22 • Issue 41 • October 10, 2019 | | | Researchers reported, "[M]arijuana legalization and sales have had minimal to no effect on major crimes in Colorado or Washington. We observed no statistically significant long-term effects of recreational cannabis laws or the initiation of retail sales on violent or property crime rates in these states." | | | | | | The findings are in contrast to the perceptions held by Canadians prior to legalization, when nearly half presumed that the policy change would be associated with a decline in work quality and productivity and a rise in occupational accidents. | | | | | | Researchers further reported that cannabis therapy was associated with a significant reduction in patients' consumption of prescription medications, as well as weight gain and the increased likelihood of full-time employment. | | | | Of the eight products tested by investigators, two contained percentages of CBD and THC that were higher than the amount indicated on the label. Two products contained far less CBD than advertised. One product tested negative for any quantity of cannabidiol. | | | | | | Researchers concluded that medical cannabis administration attenuated the severity of FMF attacks and also decreased their frequency, stating "cannabis is a therapeutic option for treating the most complex patients with FMF." | | | | Researchers concluded that a past history of cannabis exposure "was associated with a decreased risk of CDI amongst hospitalized patients." | | | | | | Clarifying NY State Decriminalization and Marijuana Possession Related Penalties Details 10/09/19 9:10pm UTC Report: Marijuana Legalization Not Associated with Adverse 'Spillover' Effects in Neighboring States Details 10/09/19 7:14pm UTC Study: No Uptick in Violent Crime Following Adult Use Cannabis Legalization Details 10/09/19 1:00am UTC Nevada NORML Takes Washington, DC Details 10/02/19 4:33pm UTC | | | | | | | Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
