The analytical methods were obtained from peer reviewed literature, have been used as part of international or federal monitoring programs for cannabis, and have been verified for their scientific validity. Methods other than those presented in this monograph may be scientifically valid and provide reliable results. However, all methods must be verified as being scientifically valid prior to use for regulatory compliance. In the United States, cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law; therefore, any use or pos- session of cannabis and its preparations is illegal except pursuant to the compassionate use Investigational New Drug exemption.PREVIEW These standards are not intended to support, encourage or promote the illegal cultivation, use, trade, or commerce of cannabis. Individuals, entities and institutions intending to possess or utilize cannabis and its preparationsCOMPLETE should consult with legal counsel prior to engaging in any such activity. The citing of any commercial names or products does not and should not be construed as constituting an endorse- ment by the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia. Additionally, the reliability, and therefore ability to comply with state or federal regulations, of any conclusions drawn from the analysis of a sample is dependent upon the test sample accurately representing the entire batch.

    MICHAEL H. DAUB ATTORNEY AT LAW 10249 YELLOW CIRCLE DRIVE SUITE 102 MINNETONKA, MN 55343 TELEPHONE: (612) 333-1943 E-MAIL: [email protected] February 16, 2021 Representative Zack Stephenson 509 State Office Building St. Paul, MN 55155 In Re: HF 600 Dear Representative Stephenson, I am a drug and substance use disorder policy expert. I am grateful for the opportunity to comment on HF 600 which proposes to regulate adult-use cannabis. There are aspects of HF 600 which I support and some that I oppose. Dr. Karen Randall, a Pueblo, Colorado emergency department physician who specializes in cannabis science and medicine states that “the legalization of marijuana has damaged, rather than helped,” her home state. She goes on to state that, “I think the public needs to know that we are not okay...the grand experiment is not going well. I don’t think the public is hearing about this as they should be.” She adds, “State government has not only ignored scientific findings about marijuana’s effects to push sales, but failed in the regulatory responsibility it promised would accompany legislation.” In support of her statements, she focused on high potency cannabis products, a marked increase in medical problems, misguided impressions of cannabis’ benefits, increased homelessness, and a growing population of chronic, cannabis dependent users. Minnesota sits at a crossroads. Cannabis legalization brings with it difficult legal and policy challenges. Although Minnesota partially decriminalized cannabis in 1976, the legalization movement never gained much momentum. In 2014, Minnesota legalized medical cannabis. Although the federal law criminalizing cannabis, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (“CSA”) remains in effect, the budding experiment to legalize cannabis has not withered on the vine.

De materia medica Cover of an early printed version of De materia medica. Lyon, 1554AuthorPediaus Dioscorides Strange plants RomeSubjectMedicinal, DrugsPublication date50-70 (50-70)Pages5 volumesTextDe materia medica in Wikisource De materia medica (Latin name for Greek work Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς, Peri hul's iatrik's, both means about medical material) is a pharmacopeia of medicinal plants and medicines that can be obtained from them. The five-volume work was written between 50 and 70 CE by Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician in the Roman army. It was widely read for more than 1,500 years until it supplanted the revised herbs during the Renaissance, making it one of the longest of all natural history books. The paper describes many drugs that are known to be effective, including aconite, aloe, coloxinth, colocum, genban, opium and squirt. In all, about 600 plants are covered, along with some animals and minerals, and about 1000 medicines of them. De materia medica was distributed as illustrated manuscripts, copied by hand, in Greek, Latin and Arabic throughout the media period. From the sixteenth century, the text of the Dioscopide was translated into Italian, German, Spanish and French, and in 1655 into English. It formed the basis of herbs in these languages by such people as Leonhart Fuchs, Valery Cordus, Lobelius, Rembert Dodoens, Carolus Klusius, John Gerard and William Turner. Gradually these herbs included more and more direct observations, complementing and eventually displacing the classic text.

  • Urtica Urens

    Urtica Urens

    Dwarf Nettle Urtica urens Weed management guide for Australian vegetable production INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT Identification Dwarf nettle (Urtica urens) is an annual herbaceous plant, native to Mediterranean Europe, that grows between 10 and 75 cm in height. Leaves are up to 6 cm in length but often 1-3 cm, oval to elliptical in shape, deeply toothed or serrated on the edges, green to dark green, and covered with scattered stinging hairs. Clusters of small, greenish-white flowers form where 1 the leaves join the stems. Dwarf nettle is also known in Australia as small nettle, lesser nettle, or stinging nettle. Vegetable farmers are likely to be very familiar with it where it is found on their farm, and to be well aware of how to identify it. However depending on its stage of growth, it may be possible to mis-identify it as tall nettle (Urtica dioica), native scrub 2 nettle (Urtica incisa) or potentially deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), particularly where the plants are recently germinated. Figure 1 includes a series of photos of dwarf nettle at different life stages in order to facilitate correct identifica- tion on-farm, from a young seedling through to a mature 3 flowering plant. Dwarf nettle may be mis-identified as native scrub nettle (Urtica incisa), a common species native to Australia. 4 Compared to dwarf nettle, native scrub nettle reaches up to 1m in height, has longer lance-shaped leaves (up to 12 cm) that are paler beneath, fewer stinging hairs, and spike-like clusters of flowers that can be longer than the leaf stalks.
