Hey Stoners Welcome to The Johno Show I'm your weedtuber host Jonathan.
Here is your countdown of the top 5 Cannabis news stories for the week.
Yeah!
Story Number 5: In "Your Gut Needs Cannabis" News...
Scientists trying to help people with irritable bowel syndrome, colitis and other stomach
ailments are turning to an interesting combination of chili peppers and cannabis.
They found that exposing immune cells to hot temperatures caused the cells to become highly
activated.
Meaning they went to work to protect the body very similar to how a fever can help immune
cells work better.
Surprisingly, immune cells exposed to chili pepper in a Petri dish behaved just like cells
exposed to higher temperatures.
To test this theory they gave mice capsaicin, which is found in chili peppers.
That activated a special kind of cell that suppressed immune responses in the gut.
In 1980, scientists discovered Anandamide when researchers were trying to make sense
of why our body, especially the brain, has cannabinoid receptors.
Scientists believe that nature didn't develop these receptors just so humans could get stoned.
Anandamide is similar to the cannabinoids found in marijuana, but our body actually
produces it naturally.
The mice given capsaicin were shown to also have a stimulated production of anandamide,
which helped heal their guts and suggests that other cannabinoids like marijuana might
have a similar effect.
Story Number 4: In "Well maybe it's too early for that"
news…
Pueblo County Colorado has seen decades of decline but is finally seeing a turnaround
now that Cannabis is legal in the state.
The county has one of the largest outdoor marijuana grows and has seen a boon in the
retail trade of recreational marijuana.
And now they are thinking of other ways to attract tourists to their area.
One idea may not be hitting it's mark though.
The town has built a Kickstarter campaign to fund the National Marijuana Museum.
Museum organizers have begun fundraising and announced the project will be up and running
by summer 2018.
However, to date the project has only raised $153 dollars from 3 supporters.
With a goal of $200K and only 51 days left in the campaign it's not looking like Pueblo
will be home to a marijuana museum anytime soon.
Story Number 3: In "I don't want to say I told you so"
News...
As I've been reporting DCMJ the group that handed out joints during both Trump's inauguration
and this past 4/20; held a pro-cannabis smoke session on U.S. capitol grounds whereby four
of their members were promptly arrested.
According to the group, the event was intended as an act of civil disobedience.
Capitol police said the four were charged with possession, a violation of federal law.
Story Number 2: In "Maybe social media isn't the best
place to promote that kind of thing" News...
The underground party known as the "Philly Smoke Session" was busted by philadelphia
police and 22 people were arrested at the event, 175 others were released without charge.
The event was heavily promoted on social media as a Spring Fling.
In addition to the arrests, police confiscated fifty pounds of marijuana and 100 pounds of
THC-infused edibles, four handguns, and $50,000 in cash.
Police say they also executed two search warrants on homes owned by the event coordinators where
additional contraband was found.
The following day, protesters stood outside police headquarters in support of the almost
two dozen arrested.
Story Number 1: In "Her own husband called her a liar"
News...
The single largest dismissal of criminal convictions in U.S. history is taking place in Massachusetts
as I speak.
24,000 drug convictions were tainted by a former state drug lab chemist who pleaded
guilty to tampering with evidence and falsifying tests.
Annie Dookhan worked for Massachusetts law enforcement from 2003 until 2012.
Dookhan pleaded guilty in 2013 to charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and tampering
with evidence.
She was sentenced to three years in prison and was paroled last year.
Prosecutors said Dookhan admitted 'dry labbing,' or testing only a fraction of a batch of samples,
then listing them all as positive for illegal drugs.
Her motive was to highlight her productivity and reputation.
She also falsely claimed to have a master's degree in chemistry.
Her own husband, once told a prosecutor quote 'She's a liar, she's always lying.
She is looking for sympathy and attention.'
She was reported as early as 2007 for shoddy work and underhanded tactics, including forging
a supervisor's signature and making up test results.
In 2004, her first year on the job, Dookhan tested more than three times the average chemist
in the lab.
The following year, she tested almost twice that of the next most prolific tester.
Unfortunately, instead of reprimanding her, her supervisors nicknamed her 'superwoman'
Annie.
Now most of the impacted defendants affected by Dookhan had already served their sentences
but will see their convictions wiped away; helping them seek employment and housing.
