California medical marijuana operation targeted by feds

By Joe Mozingo, Los Angeles Times

The federal government is moving to shut down the nation's largest and highest-profile medical marijuana dispensary operation, filing papers to seize properties in Oakland and San Jose where Harborside Health Center does business.

Copies of the federal Complaint for Forfeiture were taped to the front doors of the two dispensaries Tuesday, alleging that they were "operating in violation of federal law."

Study Shows Cannabis Improves Cognitive Function in Bipolar Patients

Results from a new study show indicate that bipolar patients with a history of marijuana use have better neurocognitive function than those who have never used cannabis.
The team, from The Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, New York, found that patients with bipolar I (BD I) disorder who used marijuana performed better on tests of attention, processing speed, and working memory than other BD 1 patients, reports Mark Cowen at News Medical.
"These data could be interpreted to suggest that cannabis use may have a beneficial effect on cognitive functioning in patients with severe psychiatric disorders," said lead researcher Raphael Braga.

Help The Medical Marijuana Movement

Dispensary owners can you take your jobs a bit more seriously and remember you are providing medicine to patients.
I don't think any ill patients should be smoking pre rolled blunts. Cmon guys really the public is not going to continue to be accepting of mmj if you cater your business to stoners rather than patients.
Releaf Alternative in Vallejo, CA  gets this perfectly. They have a very well educated staff and they know the needs of patients. They don't advertise because they don't want to be a dispensary as such. They seem to really want to maintain the collective atmosphere and stay small. CCC in Vallejo Better Health, And every other shop open other than Releaf are just weed dealers.
Ya I fuckin said it. Biiaatch!

A Mango Can Increase The Effects Of Cannabis

Did you know that mangoes can enhance your Marijuana high? It may sound strange, but it all comes down to chemical interactions within your body.
Marijuana and mangoes both contain a terpene chemical called Myrcene. This chemical helps the psychoactives in Cannabis cross the blood-brain barrier more efficiently.
Lower quality strains of Marijuana generally do not have as much Myrcene as higher quality strains. So in order to enhance the quality of your weed, increase the amount of Myrcene in your body.
This is easily done by eating mangoes. Next time you’re at the grocery store, buy some and give it a shot. Mangoes also have various health benefits including: antioxidant & anticancer properties, good vitamin content, high iron content, and tryptophan – a precursor of serotonin.
