They are not, nor ever have been, pre-determined or natural classifications. As laws, land use regulations, as well as national and local power relations shift, so do the definitions of crimes and criminals . Thus, remote sensing cannot detect crime as it might detect a stand of a certain tree species: crimes, their perpetrators and […]

Many arrestees who test positive for cannabis also test positive for alcohol or other drugs
These findings, while far from definitive, do not suggest a clear and direct link between cannabis use and crime. This makes it difficult for researchers to infer the extent to which a certain behaviors can be attributed to specific substances. Furthermore, because of the way that marijuana is metabolized by the human body, positive tests […]
A prenylated product like CBGA can be converted into a variety of cannabinoids
Shoyoma et al published the chemical shifts of CBGVA in CD3OD, so by direct comparison of our NMR spectra to the published chemical shifts we conclude that we produced CBGVA. This is further supported by the work conducted by Bohlmann, which suggests that if the prenylation occurred at the C5 site, we would observe a proton […]
Resveratrol is an aromatic polyketide first isolated from the skin of red grapes
Terpene synthases catalyze the cyclization of the hydrocarbon moiety of isoprenoids to yield cyclized hydrocarbons. While terpene synthases generally have one major product, they are fairly promiscuous and can produce several different terpenes with one enzyme. For example, the humulene synthase from Abies grandis species mainly produces humulene, but also produces 51 additional sesquiterpenes at […]
Cannabis smoking may also lead to increased rates of pneumonia and upper respiratory infections
The NASEM, CDPHE, and WHO reports state there is substantial evidence of a statistical association between marijuana smoking and worse respiratory symptoms and more frequent chronic bronchitis episodes. These data were based primarily on a systematic review by Tetrault et al. from 14 studies that assessed the association between long-term cannabis smoking respiratory symptoms including chronic […]
Cannabis use may result in dependence and cessation may result in withdrawal symptoms
Suicides with marijuana toxicology by year and overall suicide by year data are displayed in Figure 5.Cannabis has been associated with adverse social outcomes which may impact EDs and patient health. The large cohort study of Swedish men drafted at age 18-20 and followed to age 40 showed increased risk of unemployment and need for welfare […]
Gang violence usually arises out of the desire to control a particular market area
The route of administration also affects motivation. As discussed earlier, edible forms of cannabis typically tend to be much stronger and last much longer than smokable forms . Many edible users experience extreme body and mental highs that leads to extreme lethargy. High-C, after I asked him why she smoked so much instead of just […]
Every member of the group brought a bag of their best weed to share with the group
Prior to these new laws, finding high quality marijuana was difficult. Now, with store front dispensaries with delivery services, high quality potent cannabis is available with the THC content listed on the bag. Moreover, as was discussed earlier, new and stronger routes of administration are being developed daily. Even the most fanatical drug dealer would […]
Colorado during that same period saw their arrest rates for marijuana drop 60 percen
Approximately 23 years later, the same type of system of taxation and self-incrimination would be implemented for marijuana.As Doris Marie Provine illustrates in her book UnEqual Under the Law , Drug laws in the U.S. have always been predicated on racist assumptions of criminality and social control. The first drug law implemented in 1872 in […]
Having not had this contact with him early on may have made this study difficult to complete
Sociologist Kathy Charmaz describes how to perform grounded theory by, “You begin with an area to study. Then, you build your theoretical analysis on what you discover is relevant in the actual worlds that you study within this area.” . A grounded theory approach gives extra credence to the interactionist nature of the study because my […]
