Medical Marijuana may help with MRSA infections

If you or someone you care about is dealing with MRSA infection, you should know that medical marijuana can help heal MRSA


1.  Web MD says "Chemicals in Marijuana May Fight MRSA
Study Shows Cannabinoids May Be Useful Against Drug-Resistant Staph Infections"

"By Caroline Wilbert
WebMD Health News Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD

Sept. 4, 2008 -- Chemicals in marijuana may be useful in fighting MRSA, a kind of staph bacterium that is resistant to certain antibiotics.

Researchers in Italy and the U.K. tested five major marijuana chemicals called cannabinoids on different strains of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). All five showed germ-killing activity against the MRSA strains in lab tests. Some synthetic cannabinoids also showed germ-killing capability. The scientists note the cannabinoids kill bacteria in a different way than traditional antibiotics, meaning they might be able to bypass bacterial resistance."


"According to a new study, published August 6, 2008 in the Journal of Natural Products, cannabis has powerful antibiotic properties against several forms of MRSA strains, “of clinical relevance.”

Cannabis plant extracts can effectively fight drug-resistant bacteria.
Scientists Say Substances Derived From Cannabis Could Outdo Conventional Antibiotics In Killing Some Bacteria."


"Substances harvested from cannabis plants could soon outshine conventional antibiotics in the escalating battle against drug-resistant bacteria. The compounds, called cannabinoids, appear to be unaffected by the mechanism that superbugs like MRSA use to evade existing antibiotics. Scientists from Italy and the United Kingdom, who published their research in the Journal of Natural Products last month, say that cannabis-based creams could also be developed to treat persistent skin infections."

Cannabinoids kill hospital superbug MRSA

“Chemicals found in marijuana called Cannabinoids may prove useful in the fight against the antibiotic-resistant superbug MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), new research suggests.

Results of a study by researchers in Italy and the UK has revealed that the five major cannabinoids in the Cannabis sativa plant are effective against different strains of MRSA. Two of the cannabinoids tested are nonpsychotropic, which means that they do not possess the mood-altering properties associated with marijuana. Furthermore, the researchers found that the cannabinoids kill bacteria in a different way to traditional antibacterial drugs, thus meaning that MRSA may not be able to develop resistance against them.”


So what can we learn from this? Wisdom dictates that we use medical marijuana to address this and other health issues that medical grade and higher of hemp heal.  The government needs to stop the drug war so people can be free to use marijuana to solve our problems, beginning with our health and expanding to include our world’s problems with the economy, environment, food, water, energy, textile and building materials… just to name a few. 

An example of how hemp prohibition is wrong is found in the book HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB by Richard M. Davis.  Peter McWilliams was murdered by the government denying him medical marijuana which he was using to help him manage his vomiting from chemo treatments.

"The prosecutors made it clear there was no room for compassion in federal drug law and denied the Judge's request.  Five days later Peter died because, by court order, he did not have the hemp medicine he needed to manage his nausea.  Murder by government."

For more on the work of Peter McWilliams check out Peter's Page and read his book Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do: The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in Our Free Country 

Lord, please don't let the same thing happen to Marc Emery, a heroic Canadian hemp seed merchant and broadcaster and publisher, who contracted MRSA while serving as a political prisoner in a US jail. Since Marc contracted MRSA in jail, he should be granted unconditional access to medical marijuana for healing purposes immediately, as should all medical marijuana patients in prison too.

Anything else is inhumane.

Tell all elected and appointed officials to stop the drug war and re-start the HEMP FOR VICTORY program.

Time4Hemp calls out the Attorney General to come on the show



The full series of this show is posted on YouTube and the remaining segments at the end of this article.

I'm tired of change that has us running in a circle.  I want us to move, using hemp as an empowerment tool, from change to cash, real greenback cash.  How to use hemp as a financial empowerment tool is found in the book by Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum ,  HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE TRILLION DOLLAR CROP.  

Hemp hero Casper Leitch did an extraordinary edition of his groundbreaking show Time4Hemp   last weekend. 

Casper is nominated for Outstanding Hemp Awareness in Radio at this weekend's JACK HERER AWARDS 2010, part of the evolutionary marijuana party of the century, Buddhafest  .

Casper began his career working for the great Jack Herer, who helped him get Time4Hemp going in early 1990.  Casper is one of those hemp activists who has a huge portion of his adult life invested in his griot level tale of the end of hemp prohibition.  His guest list from over the decades is the ultimate Who’s Who in the marijuana legalization movement.  If you or someone you know can donate to the show, Casper should be at BuddhaFest this weekend, this century’s Hemp Woodstock – held in Los Angeles Saturday, October 23, 2010. 

The show from last weekend was the first of its kind for Time4Hemp.  It's a commercial free 2 hours pure talk radio special broadcast on American Freedom Radio featuring a fundraiser for Marc and Jodie Emery, that helped raise thousands of dollars. 

Another evolutionary thing Casper did on the show was call out Attorney General Eric Holder, to come live and explain the war on drugs. Holder should listen and take Casper up on his offer by going on Time4Hemp, it's just a phone call.   

If you or someone you know has a line to the Attorney General, please use it to have him appear on this respected series with an audience that exceeds a million people. 

Casper, for my money, is one of the best  journalists ever.  He had the courage to step off the media plantation.  His show is a strong platform for the government to either explain itself or, more likely, change it's policy and stop the war on drugs..."a total failure."

'the war on drugs is a total failure.'  I was dancing with joy as Casper spoke those revolutionary words.  Anyone who has ever seen me dance know how outrageous I can be (though not as good as I was 30 years ago - my outrageous spirit is still there).

This show's rebroadcast is posted on YouTube as an 8 part webeo and I highly recommend experiencing it as an empowerment too for marijuana activists everywhere.  As Casper's Time4Hemp continues to pull the great minds together, politicians, the homeless, in prison, widowed or dying hemp activist and others committed to doing the right thing, the mastermind alliance to solve the problem of hemp prohibition is in process, and running through Time4Hemp's microphone & cameras.

Donate if you can to free Marc Emery and/or help other innocent people suffering from the war on drugs. Time4Hemp and American Freedom Radio can also use your financial as well as listening support.

Consistent, great live programming is found on Time4Hemp - airs Monday to Friday 11 P.M. Central Time on the American Freedom Radio Network. Check it out.

FREE MARC EMERY TOO!!!


P9273706, originally uploaded by Cannabis Culture.
FREE MARC EMERY TOO!!!

What else must we do to end hemp prohibition now and encourage hemp use in medicine, environmental clean up, building materials, paper, textiles, foods, biomass & biofuels?

Hemp hero and seedologist Marc Emery surrendered to Canadian authorities for extradition to serve 5 years for selling hemp seeds on the internet. This is just wrong on so many levels that we ask you to research and consider the case against the Prince of Pot, Marc Emery.

From:

www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=f91adec5-b66e-4561-944a-51e4486b0e2b&k=31636 

"A defiant Marc Emery begins journey toward five-year U.S. prison term on drug charges" http://j.mp/tcgjV

"Marc Emery was escorted out of B.C. Supreme Court and into jail Monday to await extradition to the U.S.

His wife wailed and wept in the public gallery while cannabis crusaders who crowded the tiny courtroom chanted: "Free Marc Emery!"

As he was led away, Emery yelled to his wife: "I love you Jody Emery. Plant the seeds of freedom -- over grow the government."

He will be held for 30 days to give him time to appeal. Then, after the federal justice minister has signed the removal order, he'll be handed over to the U.S."

Another article for consideration:

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/09/28/marc-emery-surrender.html?ref=rss

"Before entering the B.C. Supreme Court, Emery spoke to a crowd of reporters and supporters outside, telling them he still believes Canada's drug laws prohibiting the use of marijuana are unjust and blaming the laws and the politicians who support them for creating the large criminal organizations that control the illegal trade in marijuana.

"There is no crime here. The politicians who support this extradition are supporters of organized crime. We are making criminals with laws like this," said Emery.

After his surrender, Emery was expected to be sent to North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam, east of Vancouver, to await extradition to the U.S., a process the judge suggested will likely take a month to complete."
