Inhaled cannabis can blunt the pain of diabetic neuropathy without seriously impairing cognitive function, a new study shows.

"The higher the dose, the more the pain relief," first author Mark Wallace, MD, told Medscape Medical News. "There was, however, a dose-dependent increase in euphoria."

The study is the first randomized controlled trial of inhaled cannabis for diabetic neuropathy pain, said Dr Wallace, chair of the Division of Pain Management at the University of California, San Diego. It was published in the July issue of the Journal of Pain.

Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is speaking out in support of a controversial medical marijuana store in Winnipeg.

During a stop in the city on Wednesday, Trudeau said marijuana storefronts like "Your Medical Cannabis Headquarters," owned by Glenn Price, should be allowed to operate.

At a Liberal campaign office just blocks away from the shop, Trudeau reiterated his pledge to legalize marijuana if elected.

He said by licensing and restricting the sale, it keeps the drugs out of the hands of kids and criminals.

Police closed down Price's store last week, saying he is not a licensed producer so it's illegal for him to sell medical marijuana.

For years, Sarah Wilkinson woke up every day wondering if it would be her daughter's last.

When she was a baby, Mia was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy that caused her to suffer waves of intense seizures — sometimes up to 100 episodes in one day.

To make matters worse, the dozens of pills Mia's doctor had prescribed for her condition weren't working and she was miserable all the time.

"She sometimes had seizures that would last up to 23 hours and she would have to be put into a medically-induced coma," recalls Wilkinson, who lives with her family outside of Calgary, Alberta. "And whenever she would have a big seizure, my two sons would start panicking because she would be turning blue."

Vancouver police say a marijuana plant discovered growing in a city traffic circle was legal, unless someone had been watering it.

"The alleged marijuana plant growing in the traffic circle at West 19th Avenue and Ontario Street has been removed for analysis and has been determined to likely be a male cannabis plant and therefore not capable of producing THC, rendering the plant legal hemp," Sgt. Randy Fincham said in an email statement.

But if someone was watering the plant, Finchan said in the email, it would have been violating the city’s current stage 4 water restriction which forbids all forms of residential lawn or garden watering.

Residents of Vancouver’s hip Mount Pleasant neighbourhood have found marijuana plants among the flowers and shrubs of at least two traffic circles, sparking local joy and a race between residents and police to harvest them.

“I think it represents a good sense of humour in the neighbourhood,” resident Stephen Tanner told CTV, adding such gardens are usually tended by locals.

Eric Lamond and several other residents said they have seen marijuana plants growing in the centre of traffic circles along Ontario Street in the past few months in what seems to be a random series of guerrilla gardening.

‘‘I love it. It’s beautiful, it’s a beautiful plant, we should all be enjoying it, right? It’s nature,” Lamond told CBC News.
