#californiacannabis - "The Board of Supervisors today tentatively approved a series of proposed changes to Riverside County's commercial cannabis ordinance, establishing avenues for the revocation of licenses due to non-operation, loosening regulations on signage and permitting marijuana manufacturing in previously restricted zones.

 

 

#psychedelics - "These results suggest that Br-LSD has the potential to be an effective treatment for major depressive disorders and anxiety, possibly through its effects on neuroplasticity. Compounds modifying synaptic plasticity are considered promising therapies for these disorders. Indeed, a central hypothesis for the mechanism of action for the therapeutic antidepressant effects of psychedelics involves rapid induction of structural and functional neural plasticity and reversal of neuronal atrophy. The lack of Br-LSD tolerance may permit frequent dosing for mood disorders and other indications."

 

#cannabislaw - "A California couple who allege the county of Mendocino unfairly denied them a medical cannabis growing permit are asking the Ninth Circuit for a full-court rehearing of their claims, saying the panel failed to take into account the modern landscape of cannabis' legality when applying a nearly 20-year-old U.S. Supreme Court precedent.

In a petition for en banc rehearing filed Tuesday, Ann Marie Borges and Chris Gurr said one of the basic premises that led to the high court's Gonzales v. Raich  decision in 2005 was that the lack of intrastate regulation of cannabis was a "gaping hole" in the Controlled Substances Act.

However, now that 38 states, including California, have legalized cannabis to one extent or another, there is no longer such a lack of regulation, so the presumption that cannabis cultivation must impact interstate commerce should now be open to rebuttal, according to the motion."
