Green Buddha Supports I-502

The Green Buddha Patient Co-op proudly supports the legalization of cannabis, and specifically supports Washington State Initiative Measure No. 502 (I-502) which would license and regulate marijuana use for persons over twenty-one. I-502 is "the most cogent, competent effort in US hostory to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana" and yet some medical marijuana patients feel threatened by it. The issue stems from the DUI component to the initiative. Yet obviously no inititaive would pass if we could drive impaired. Read the facts here. Responsible patients will make the choice to not drive impaired.

Baby Wash Products May Interfere with THC Drug Tests

Scientists of the University of North Carolina, USA, observed that commercially available baby soaps and other wash products may cause positive results in a drug screening on THC. They concluded: "Such
results in this population can lead to involvement by social services or false child abuse allegations. Given these consequences, it is important for laboratories and providers to be aware of this potential source for false positive screening results and to consider confirmation before initiating interventions."

Medical Marijuana Laws, Traffic Fatalities, and Alcohol Consumption

D. Mark Anderson and Daniel Rees
November 2011

"We find that the legalization of medical marijuana is associated with decreased alcohol consumption, especially by 20- through 29-year-olds. In addition, we find that the legalization is associated with decreased beer sales, the most popular alcoholic beverage amoung young adults."

"Evidence from simulator and driving course studies provides a simple explanation for why substituting marijuana for alcohol may lead to fewer traffic fatalities. These studies show that alcohol consumption leads to an increased risk of collision. Even at low doses, drivers under the influence of alcohol tend to underestimate the degree to which they are impaired, drive at faster speeds, and take more risks. In contrast, simulator and driving course studies provide only limited evidence that driving under the influence of marijuana leads to an increased risk of collision, perhaps as a result of compensatory driver behavior.
