CBD Crew was formed in the summer of 2009 by Shantibaba (Mr Nice Seeds), and Jaime (Resin Seeds) who experimented with bringing the high CBD content of Cannatonic to some of the legendary old school genetics of the Mr Nice Seed Bank. The CBD Crew’s target was to achieve an optimum ratio of 1:1 THC:CBD, which they have now done with all the strains they offer. The reason for focussing breeding efforts on Cannabidiol or CBD (one of the more important cannabinoids found in cannabis) is due to its beneficial properties. Medically it has been shown to reduce convulsion, inflammation,…
Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS.OB) a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana) products, is very pleased to inform that news of recent FDA Cancer Drug Approval puts Cannabis Science in a very good position moving forward with its current Cancer solutions.

See FDA Announcement here.“For the FDA to approve a drug with serious side effects within six months, suggests that the Cannabis Science should receive similar consideration when we submit our application for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma,” said Dr.…
More than two-thirds of cancer patients who were prescribed medical marijuana to combat pain are reportedly satisfied with the treatment, according to a comprehensive study conducted for the first time in Israel. The study – conducted recently at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, in conjunction with the Israel Cancer Association – involved 264 cancer patients who were treated with medical marijuana for a full year.

We have received a number of emails from cannabis activists asking for clarification on how the new Sentencing Guidelines will impact on cannabis cultivation and possession. Release provided detailed advice to the Council and has welcomed many of the changes in the guidelines as an improvement on the previous regime, but in relation to cannabis, there has only been a slight shift in approach. With regards to possession of cannabis, there has been very little change from the current Magistrates Sentencing Guidelines. The starting point for sentencing remains the same, that is, a Band B fine. The sentencing range has…
New sentencing guidelines have been released for drug offences in the UK. Many are excited. Some go so far as to engage in celebration. One cannabis advocacy group has gone so far as to announce that personal use grow operations are now decriminalized. This is dangerous thinking; the sort that could get folks thrown in a small, dank cell. You need to go over these new guidelines with a legal eye to see why exactly this whole thing is a bit of bait-and-switch on the part of authorities. Many are hailing the new guidelines as a victory for cannabis growers. …
Take a California road trip into the heart of the Emerald Triangle, where marijuana is grown in lush and pungent abundance, where it is the number-one cash crop, and where it is often the mainstay of the local rural economy. The California Green Rush has taken root as the culture formerly known as the counter culture comes of age and is seen by many as a growing solution rather than a growing problem. The original Emerald Triangle counties of Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity have expanded southward and east throughout California. In many areas, marijuana has replaced the once thriving timber…
20-Year Study Finds No Decline In Lung Function For Occasional Cannabis Smokers; Lung Function Of Most Marijuana Smokers Improves Over Time Often, when people hear about the studies which have shown that smoking marijuana doesn’t cause lung cancer, they’ll say something like, “Well, inhaling any smoke, cancer or not, is bound to cause some breathing problems.” Guess what? It doesn’t do that, either.A report to be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that — over a 20-year period — marijuana smokers generally did not experience a loss in lung function, reports Derek Abma at Postmedia…
We should not be helping the government implement ‘softer’ ways by which they can police us – i.e. ‘decriminalisation’. Instead, we have to take back our privacy – cannabis-users are equal to alcohol-users. Our rights must also equate. No violence for cigarette users? No incarceration for alcohol users? Then equality before the law must extend to us. No more state interference into peaceful, private activity. Responsible adults have used cannabis for thousands of years without hurting anyone. Cannabis users aren’t a problem, so it’s off-base to expect us to dream up ways to tax and regulate cannabis users. Our job…
When the 30th Anniversary of the Dutch coffeeshops was nearing, Nol decided to write a book about that notorious history of the cannabis scene in the Netherlands. He started collecting all the material he needed, with great help of Wernard Bruining, the man that started the first ever coffeeshop in the world, the Mellow Yellow in Amsterdam.The book describes how the pioneers of marihuana, some of them without realising it then, made cannabis and coffeeshops a socially accepted phenomenon in the Netherlands.If you want to know all about how the coffeeshop system in Holland came to be, you should read…
