Marijuana Going Virtual?

Due to the positive changes to the medical marijuana laws and regulations, it is unquestionable that marijuana sellers, who usually only accept cash, will now be obtaining merchant accounts in their businesses. This is also true to suppliers. They are even taking their business to the virtual world and they are looking for web experts to help them build their sites. This will help to implement their new mode of payments.

Undeniably, marijuana sellers are finding it hard to get merchant services using traditional ways.  Mobile terminals, E-commerce and internet point of sale are needed if these entrepreneurs really want to increase their revenue. These are obviously big hurdles.

A business’ ability to accept debit and credit cards benefits the owners. Their venture to create internet sales can help them to gain more potential clients and expand their services. It also gives owners security on their money as not everyone has cash to pay.

Montana Lawmakers Debate Marijuana Legalization

In Helena, Montana, Governor Brian Schweitzer rejected a bill which abolishes the voters-approved medical marijuana law in Montana. Gov. Schweitzer said that it is against the people’s decision.

During the session, the Left house and the Senate conferees left the session. They left with only eight more days to discuss this matter and with a compromised proposal that will surely tighten the laws regarding the medical marijuana legalization.

With fifteen states that have legalized marijuana, it is not easy for the federal government to decide how to strongly implement and regulate the rules. They believe it could be risky and addictive but they said that they will not punish users as long as they follow the indicated state laws.

However, Montana legislatives disagree. They said that its legalization only attracts criminals and youth. Because of this, the bill sponsored by House Speaker Mike Milburn, which states the approval of marijuana legalization, took an unusual turn last week.

Brinkley: Less Penalty on Criminalizing Marijuana

Images_4

In Annapolis, it is definitely good news for Frederick County Senator, David Brinkley, as it has taken almost one decade to minimize the criminal penalties for using medical marijuana.

As a Republican, Brinkley is one of the lead sponsors of the bill that permits marijuana users to be criminally free when found using the said drug. Also, Brinkley wants to run a research study regarding the general use of medical marijuana.


The bill was given the initial “ok” last Saturday by the House of Delegates. If this bill gets passed on Monday, Brinkley thinks it will be accepted already.


Brinkley, a cancer survivor, believes that a person should not be punished for using. He also believes that carrying a criminal record for the rest of one’s life is ridiculous as seeking the treatment for a chronic illness is not a crime, especially which other medicines cannot provide relief.


On the other hand, the bill does not cover those who use it in public places and in doses of more than an ounce.

Stop Cancer from Spreading

Molecular Cancer Therapeutics is a journal that published a study on breast cancer. The study suggested that breast cancer spreading may be prevented by the non-psychoactive element that is naturally present in the marijuana plant.

A chemical called cannabidiol (CBD), was found to affect the gene’s activity, known as ld-1, to hormone- independent breast cancer patients. In embryos, this ld-1 helps the cells grow and spread but they should not be active until adulthood. In adults, it can only be found in cancer cells that spread all over the body.

The study’s senior researcher Pierre Yves-Desprez, said that when the ld-1 genes get activated, this is when the trouble starts. They tell the cells to act like the embryonic cells. They go wild, multiply and transfer. And so, Desprez said that ld-1 must be inactive to make the cancer less lethal. Tumors can be removed through surgery but if it is widely spread already, it may be hard to fight anymore.
