IACM: In commemoration of Dr. Ester Fride

It is with great sadness that the IACM informs their readers that
Ester Fride, the Israeli scientist who showed that a newborn
mammal cannot suckle and survive without a functional
endocannabinoid system, died on New Year's Day at the age of
56. The cause was lung cancer, diagnosed in July, 2008. Dr.
Fride, a professor at the College of Judea and Samaria in Ariel,
was the first awardee of the IACM Award for Basic Research in
2005.

In a very personal letter the chairman of the IACM, Ethan Russo,
wrote: "It is perhaps the greatest compliment that one can make
to a friend that has left us too early, that although we are grief-
stricken with their loss, the more pervasive feeling is one of
enrichment that we were lucky enough to walk with her in shared
experiences and thereby be enriched in our own lives."

In the future the IACM Award on Basic Research will be called
"Ester Fride Award".

USA: New Jersey becomes the 14th state to legalize the medical
use of cannabis

On 11 January the New Jersey Legislature approved a bill that
would make the state the 14th in the USA, but one of the few on
the East Coast, to legalize the use of cannabis to help patients
with chronic illnesses. The measure, which would allow patients
diagnosed with severe illnesses like cancer, AIDS, and multiple
sclerosis to have access to cannabis grown and distributed
through state-monitored dispensaries, was passed by the General
Assembly by 48-14 and the State Senate by 25-13.

Governor Jon S. Corzine has said he would sign it into law.
Supporters said that within nine months, patients with a
prescription for cannabis from their doctors should be able to
obtain it at one of six dispensaries. New Jersey's law is regarded
as one of the most restrictive medical cannabis laws in the USA
because it would permit doctors to prescribe it for only a set list of
serious, chronic illnesses. The law would also forbid patients from
growing their own cannabis and from using it in public, and it
would regulate the drug under the strict conditions used to track
the distribution of medically prescribed opiates. Patients would be
limited to two ounces (57 grams) of cannabis per month.

must be something about the area that attracts poor growing techniques
