| | | | Marinol: Encyclopedia II - Tetrahydrocannabinol - Pharmacology Its pharmacological actions are the result of its binding to the cannabinoid receptor CB1, located in the brain. The presence of these specialized receptors in the brain implied to researchers that endogenous cannabinoids were manufactured by the body, so the search began for a substance normally manufactured in the brain that binds to these receptors, the so-called natural ligand or agonist, leading to the eventual discovery of anandamide and some related compounds. This story resembles the discovery of the endogenous opiates (endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphin), after the realization that morphine and ot ...

Cannabis rescheduling in the United States - Arguments for rescheduling.
The position of Jon Gettman, leader of the rescheduling movement, is that a drug cannot remain in a Schedule unless it fully meets all three statutory criteria for that Schedule [1]. Gettman believes that "high potential for abuse" means that a drug has a potential for abuse similar to that of heroin or cocaine [2]. Gettman argues further that since laboratory animals do not self-administer marijuana, and because marijuana's toxicity is less than that of he ...

| | | | Marinol: Encyclopedia II - Cannabis drug - Legality Since the twentieth century, most countries have laws against the cultivation, use, possession, or transfer of cannabis (and, naturally, these laws impact adversely on the herb's cultivation for non-recreational purposes) but there are many regions where certain circumstances of cannabis handling are legal or licensed and others where laws against its use, possession, or sale are not enforced. Many jurisdictions have also decriminalized possession of small quantities of cannabis, so that it is punished by confiscation and/or a fine, r ...

| | | | Marinol: Encyclopedia II - Peter McWilliams - Death while out on bond pending sentencing On June 14th of 2000, McWilliams was found dead in his apartment. He had choked on his own vomit. His mother's house had been used to collateralize the bond on which he was allowed to remain free pending sentencing, a condition of which was that he refrain from using cannabis. For fear of losing his mother's house, he did so, again forgoing the medication needed to control his symptoms. He had access to Marinol, but it was ineffective for him about one-third of the time.

The federal prosecutor personally called my mother to tell her that if I was found ...
