Cannabis Use Associated With Reduced Risk Factors For Type 2 Diabetes
By Paul Armentano | NORML Deputy Director
BOSTON, MA — Subjects who regularly consume cannabis possess favorable indices related to diabetic control as compared to occasional consumers or non-users of the substance, according to trial data published in The American Journal of Medicine.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston assessed the relationship between marijuana use and fasting insulin, glucose, and insulin resistance in a sample of 4,657 male subjects.
Investigators reported: “ubjects who reported using marijuana in the past month had lower levels of fasting insulin and HOMA-IR [insulin resistance], as well as smaller waist circumference and higher levels of HDL-C [high-density lipoprotein or ‘good’ cholesterol]. These associations were attenuated among those who reported using marijuana at least once, but not in the past 30 days, suggesting that the impact of marijuana use on insulin and insulin resistance exists during periods of recent use.”
Writing in an accompanying commentary, American Journal of Medicine Editor-in-Chief Joseph S. Alpert, MD stated: “These are indeed remarkable observations that are supported, as the authors note, by basic science experiments that came to similar conclusions. … I would like to call on the NIH and the DEA to collaborate in developing policies to implement solid scientific investigations that would lead to information assisting physicians in the proper use and prescription of THC in its synthetic or herbal form.”
Observational trial data published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal previously reported that adults with a history of marijuana use had a lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes and possess a lower risk of contracting the disease than did those with no history of cannabis consumption, even after researchers adjusted for social variables such as subjects’ ethnicity and levels of physical activity.

I have type 2 diabetes so it is good to know my weed consumption is helping me combat my condition along with a paleo diet and exercise.
In time I hope to reverse my diabetes with these lifestyle changes, finding out about Cannabis helps lower my fasting insulin is great news and also makes me a Medical Marijuana user too.

Lib Dem leadership candidate Norman Lamb calls for cannabis legalisation
Lamb criticises ‘catastrophic failure’ of war on drugs and urges rational, education-based approach
The Liberal Democrat leadership candidate Norman Lamb has called for the UK to legalise, regulate and tax the sale of cannabis.
The former care minister and MP for North Norfolk said the UK should draw on examples from US states such as Colorado, which legalised the possession of small amounts of marijuana for recreational use by over-21s in November 2012.
He said he wanted immediate legalisation of the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and said there should be a swift evidence-based policy change in relation to recreational use.
Lamb acknowledged that the legalisation of recreational use would require a UN treaty change, which he said could be secured at the 2016 meeting of the general assembly on the UN’s drug control system.
“There has been a catastrophic failure of the war on drugs, with thousands of lives lost,” Lamb said. Drug laws were “criminalising so many young people, which blights their lives because of a decision about personal use which then affects their careers and creates a global criminal network”.
He added: “As a parent, I have real concerns about the dangers of drugs, both legal and illegal. But I think that it’s much better to take a rational, education-based approach rather than the approach that we take at the moment.”
The Liberal Democrats have historically been supportive of liberalising drug laws. Their general election manifesto this year pledged to allow doctors to prescribe cannabis for medicinal use and to establish a review to assess the effectiveness of legalisation experiments in the US and Uruguay.
Lamb’s only opposition in the leadership race is Tim Farron, the former Lib Dem president and key figure on the left of the party. Farron is thought to be the frontrunner and has secured the formal backing of three of the party’s eight MPs (Mark Williams, John Pugh and Greg Mulholland); the heads of the Scottish and Welsh branches of the Lib Dems, Willie Rennie and Kirsty Williams; the party’s only surviving MEP, Catherine Bearder; and more than 100 former Lib Dem election candidates.
Lamb has been publicly endorsed by Tom Brake, the MP for Carshalton and Wallington, and Shirley Williams, a founding member of the Social Democratic party, which joined with the Liberals to form the Liberal Democrats in 1988.
On Monday, Julian Huppert, a former MP and a campaigner for drug law reform, backed Lamb and his cannabis policy.
“This is not the first time Norman has called for bold changes based on looking at the evidence – he’s done so on mental health, on prison reform and more,” Huppert said. “I think this is exactly the bold leadership we need, and hope people who feel likewise will support Norman.”

We already have the Green Party saying they will decriminalize Cannabis and now Lib Dem's say they want to legalize cannabis.
Could we be taking the first baby step in towards a more enlightened UK drugs policy?
I've been following the progress of the US medical marijuana and the three states that have introduced recreational cannabis and it has warmed my heart and given me hope that we (UK) would one day do the same.
The UK political parties have been oppose to such legislation partly due to thinking they would lose voters.
Just the other day I was reading a cannabis article that happened to be on the Daily Mail web site and at the bottom of the page they had a poll - legalize cannabis - don't legalize cannabis. I clicked "Legalize Cannabis" and then found out that 88% of people who clicked it were voting YES to legalization. I didn't see that coming from Daily Mail Readers
Today I find I have a bit more of a spring in my step and feel a little more positive towards our politicians, let hope this continues and legalization one day becomes a reality for the UK.
