Since 1992, every Thursday and when breaking news warrants, NORML | The NORML Foundation have been issuing weekly press releases for marijuana law supporters and the media.

Authors concluded, “Discovery and development of novel antibacterial agents such as CBD are a major step towards the future of therapeutics in a world where antibiotics are no longer efficacious and cost effective.”
Investigators concluded that those with a history of cannabis use had “reduced odds of experiencing 90-day medical complications” following surgery.
Forty-five percent of respondents said that the federal government should legalize marijuana nationwide; only 21 percent said the decision should be left up to the states.
Of the nine patients who completed the 12-week trial, six of them reduced their daily consumption of cannabis/tobacco joints by 50 percent.
Just over 30 percent of patients in the sample said that they used cannabis explicitly for purposes of pain management.
