Estimate: Worldwide Population Of Lawful Medical Marijuana Patients

weedporndaily:

An increasing number of patients in the world are using cannabis for therapeutic reasons, with available data from countries, which have installed programs for their citizens. Good data are available for Israel, Canada, the Netherlands and many states of the US with medicinal cannabis laws and registries. In several more countries only a few patients are allowed to use cannabis for medicinal purposes, including Germany, Norway, Finland and Italy. In many other countries such as Spain and some states of the US without a registry such as California the number of medicinal users is estimated to be high, but no detailed data are available.

The numbers in California with hundreds of cannabis dispensaries and clinics that issue medical cannabis recommendations are unclear, since the state does not require residents to register as patients (see below**)
Most of the 16 states that allow the medicinal use of cannabis require a registration. Recently the press agency Associated Press published data on registered patients in different states of the USA based on state agencies responsible for maintaining patient registries:

State: Number of registered patients (per 1,000 of the whole population) –

Colorado: 82,089 (16.3)

Oregon: 57,386 (15.0)

Montana: 14,364 (14.5)

Michigan: 131,483 (13.3)

Hawaii: 11,695 (8.6)

Rhode Island: 4,466 (4.2)

Arizona: 22,037 (3.5)

New Mexico: 4,310 (2.1)

Maine: 2,708 (2.0)

Nevada: 3,388 (1.3)

Vermont: 505 (0.8)

Alaska: 538 (0.8)

I keep on climbing higher and higher. Felix Baumgartner prepares to take a test jump at 13.6 miles above ground. This is in preparation for his 23-mile-high skydive taking place later this summer. [msnbc]

I would so love to be this man.

Momentum Against The War On Drugs Worldwide

weedporndaily:

As we reported yesterday, Vice President Biden is in Latin America and is hearing a lot from leaders there that the War on Drugs is failing miserably.His response was predictably stupid.

“It warrants a discussion. It’s totally legitimate for this to be raised. It’s worth discussing … but there is no possibility that the Obama-Biden administration will change its policy on legalization.”

Yeah, that’s our Vice President. But beyond Biden’s inability to form coherent sentences is the absolute refusal of The Obama Administration to consider a different path. The U.S. is dooming so many countries to incredible violence and political corruption.
