Some have argued medical marijuana legalization (MML) poses a threat to public health and safety, perhaps also affecting crime rates. In recent years, some U.S. states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes, reigniting political and public interest in the impact of marijuana legalization on a range of outcomes.\\n\\nMETHODS: Relying on U.S. state panel data, we analyzed the association between state MML and state crime rates for all Part I offenses collected by the FBI.\\n\\nFINDINGS: Results did not indicate a crime exacerbating effect of MML on any of the Part I offenses. Alternatively, state MML may be correlated with a reduction in homicide and assault rates, net of other covariates.\\n\\nCONCLUSIONS: These findings run counter to arguments suggesting the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes poses a danger to public health in terms of exposure to violent crime and property crimes.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/effect-medical-marijuana-laws-crime-evidence-state-panel-data-19902006-1", "reader_count"=>99, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Unspecified"=>2, "Professor > Associate Professor"=>5, "Researcher"=>12, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>8, "Student > Ph.

The statistics included more than 23,500 drivers who died within one hour of a crash between 1999 and 2010.\n\nAlcohol contributed to about the same percentage of traffic fatalities throughout the decade, about 40 percent, Li said.\nBut drugs played an increasingly prevalent role in fatal crashes, the researchers found. Drugged driving accounted for more than 28 percent of traffic deaths in 2010, up from more than 16 percent in 1999.\n\nMarijuana proved to be the main drug involved in the increase, contributing to 12 percent of 2010 crashes compared with 4 percent in 1999.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20140204/fatal-car-crashes-involving-pot-use-have-tripled-in-us-study-finds\n\nAbstract : \n\nDrugged driving is a safety issue of increasing public concern. Using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System for 1999–2010, we assessed trends in alcohol and other drugs detected in drivers who were killed within 1 hour of a motor vehicle crash in 6 US states (California, Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and West Virginia) that routinely performed toxicological testing on drivers involved in such crashes. Of the 23,591 drivers studied, 39.7% tested positive for alcohol and 24.8% for other drugs. During the study period, the prevalence of positive results for non alcohol drugs rose from 16.6% in 1999 to 28.3% in 2010 (Z = −10.19, P < 0.0001), whereas the prevalence of positive results for alcohol remained stable. The most commonly detected non alcohol drug was cannabinol, the prevalence of which increased from 4.2% in 1999 to 12.2% in 2010 (Z = −13.63, P < 0.0001). The increase in the prevalence of non alcohol drugs was observed in all age groups and both sexes. These results indicate that nonalcoholic drugs, particularly marijuana, are increasingly detected in fatally injured drivers.\n\n( * ) http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/01/27/aje.kwt327.abstract?sid=310cc5fd-bfdb-4cf9-a3d9-7f60790a3cd5\n", "isRemoved"=>false, "created"=>"2014-03-27T16:32:20Z", "lastModified"=>"2014-03-27T16:32:20Z", "creator"=>{"userId"=>"415289"}, "highlightedText"=>"", "competingInterestStatement"=>{"creatorWasPrompted"=>true, "hasCompetingInterests"=>false}, "parentArticle"=>{"doi"=>"info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0092816", "state"=>"published", "journals"=>{"PLoSONE"=>{"journalKey"=>"PLoSONE", "eIssn"=>"1932-6203", "title"=>"PLOS ONE"}}}, "replyTreeSize"=>1, "mostRecentActivity"=>"2014-03-28T14:50:37Z", "replies"=>[{"type"=>"REPLY", "parentID"=>79337, "annotationUri"=>"info:doi/10.1371/reply/182daeb9-3b12-46f1-8327-db5836bc0444", "title"=>"RE: SOCIETY SUFFERS AS A WHOLE DUE TO INCREASED CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO MARIHUANA USE", "body"=>"REPLY FROM: The Authors of The Study....\n\nThere is no arguing with the fact that driving fatalities resulting from substance impairment is a critical public health issue. However, I feel that some of your comments as they relate to our study are off base. \n\nFirst, our methods are quite rigorous, and much detail is provided in the narrative. Our multiple time series design is considered by many (e.g., Campbell) to be one of the strongest research designs in the social sciences when an experiment is not feasible, as is the case here. Perhaps more important, our focus was on \"medical marijuana legalization\" and \"crime\", you seem to be more concerned with use in general and driving, which is a related, but different topic. \n\nSecond, the focus of our paper was on crime rates, as opposed to accidents. Crimes and accidents are completely different behaviors--there's this legal concept called \"mens rea\" the commenter seems to be ignoring. And we know of NO evidence that pot legalization has led to increased car fatalities involving marijuana users with prescriptions. We would argue that for most prescription marijuana smokers who routinely drive under the influence, the laws do nothing more than legalize behavior they were preciously engaged in illegally. In order for this commenter’s theory to be valid one would have to believe that:\n\n1) A significant share of marijuana users obtain prescriptions to legalize their previously illegal behavior and as a result are more willing to driving under the influence of pot, and/or\n\n2) There is a significant increase in the number of persons who become first time marijuana users as a result of marijuana legalization and are also willing to drive under the drugs influence.\n\nWhile both scenarios are entirely plausible, for now they must remain idle speculation. Perhaps future research will show there is a correlation between the laws and fatal car crashes. But as is the case for any piece of legislation, there can be both unintended benefits and consequences.\n\nFurthermore, the study the commenter mentions regarding driving fatalities is clearly a needed work (see Brady and Li, 2014), and the authors of that study should be commended, however, they do not (and cannot) make any causal claims about what’s actually behind the accidents. Rather they find an increase in the prevalence of toxicology detection, which is an important and telling finding. From that alone, we cannot know whether the cause of the fatality was due to the marijuana use or something else such as more cars on the road in those states, or perhaps in conjunction with substance use, such as icy roads, another driver (perhaps impaired as well), etc. \n\nMarijuana has been shown to impair driving (e.g., Arterberry et al 2013), and the link between alcohol and impairment needs no citation. The real issue should be about per se laws and education to reduce the risk of accidents resulting from marijuana use; just like with alcohol, these tactics can lead to marked reductions in fatalities on the road and should be the focus of your discussion in my opinion (e.g. see Giesbrecht & Greenfield, 2003). \n\nAgain, there is no downplaying the importance of educating the public about the hazards of impaired driving, but that doesn't change the fact that we found no link between medical marijuana legalization in increases in state crime rates.\n\nReferences:\n\nArterberry, Brooke J.; Treloar, Hayley R.; Smith, Ashley E.; Martens, Matthew P.; Pedersen, Sarah L.; McCarthy, Denis M. \"Marijuana Use, Driving, and Related Cognitions\" Dec 31 , 2012, doi: 10.1037/a0030877\n\nGiesbrecht, N., & Greenfield, T.

I&amp;#39;m sure like many of you, the government&amp;#39;s arrogant response to the cannabis legalisation petition has ticked me off. They&amp;#39;ve spat in the face of over 200,000 British people to say they&amp;#39;re going to cross their arms and continue to ignore the issue when clearly this is something a huge number of people support. The evidence overwhelmingly points to the legalisation of cannabis being the next logical step for drugs policy. Prohibition is beyond-a-doubt not working, and reversing it would bring many benefits and is in the best interest of the British people.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;When I was writing my letter to my MP about legalising cannabis I found there&amp;#39;s no central place on the web that provides a list of sources regarding cannabis&amp;#39;s benefits, so I&amp;#39;ve decided to create one here. I&amp;#39;ve seen a few letters to and from MPs about the issue and I believe our letters and arguments would be much more effective if we backed up our points with sources. Most of the responses (&lt;a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/3g5d77/reply_from_tory_mp_about_cannabis_legalisation/\"&gt;such as this one&lt;/a&gt;) I&amp;#39;ve seen have been more or less the same as the government’s response to the official petition – arrogant, stubborn and mostly inaccurate. Using sources will gives us more information for our arguments, backup our points and make it much harder for them to turn around and babble inaccuracy and hopefully get them on our side. You can use the sources however you want in your letter to backup your points. In my own letter to my MP I recently sent I would flag a point with a number in brackets and then list the number along with the corresponding source at the bottom of the document. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;If you would like help getting your letter started there&amp;#39;s &lt;a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/3ek63k/now_we_have_to_ensure_the_uk_petition_is_heard/\"&gt;a good guideline of how to go about it on the r/trees subreddit&lt;/a&gt;. Be sure not to copy and paste anything and use your own words, then use these sources to help backup your points. When you&amp;#39;re ready you can submit your letter to your local MP by using &lt;a href=\"https://www.writetothem.com/\"&gt;WriteToThem.com&lt;/a&gt;. Remember not to be condescending or rude. We can really create change by writing to our MPs, I highly encourage you all to do so!&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s also use this thread as a discussion about sources. If you would like to contribute a source to this post then post it in the comments in the format I&amp;#39;ve used and I&amp;#39;ll add it.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;hr/&gt;\n\n&lt;h1&gt;Sources&lt;/h1&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;The official UK Goverment and Parliament official petitions website: Make the production, sale and use of cannabis legal.\n&lt;a href=\"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104349\"&gt;https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104349&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;The most obvious source. Make sure to mention this to your MP as a petition with over 200,000 signatures is pretty significant. Letting your MP know there&amp;#39;s a lot of support for the issue is important. You should consider signing this if you haven&amp;#39;t done so already.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crime&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Studies overwhelming point to legalisation as a way of reducing crime and heavily impeding black markets. Crime relating to cannabis almost completely originates from conflicts in black markets, criminal organisations and gangs. These sources depend on cannabis being illegal to remain profitable, therefore making cannabis legal would cripple them whilst moving a large amount of their potential profits towards the country. Use these sources to help argue that cannabis legalisation wouldn&amp;#39;t create crime but actually reduce it.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Cannabis growers won&amp;#39;t be prosecuted in Durham:\n&lt;a href=\"http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/22/cannabis-growers-wont-be-prosecuted-in-durham-5307749/\"&gt;http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/22/cannabis-growers-wont-be-prosecuted-in-durham-5307749/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;The current Crime Commissioner of Durham, Ron Hogg, has thrown his support in behind decriminalisation of cannabis users, and placing low priority on possession and small-scale production. There&amp;#39;s some quotes in the article I would recommend using as it&amp;#39;s hugely significant that someone very high up in the police has these views as he&amp;#39;ll be someone much more aware of crime and its causes than most MPs will. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;No correlation between medical marijuana legalization, crime increase: Legalization may reduce homicide, assault rates:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140326182049.htm\"&gt;http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140326182049.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;An article from Science Daily discusses &lt;a href=\"http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0092816\"&gt;a study (found here)&lt;/a&gt; about how legalising medical marijuana (and therefore creating more access to marijuana) does not lead to an increase in crime, but actually points towards a correlation between a reduction in homicide and assault rates. Up to you if you decide to argue whether or not the findings lead to a decrease of those two types of crime, but you can confidently use it to argue that increased legal marijuana access isn&amp;#39;t creating crime.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;The War on Drugs: Wasting billions and undermining economies:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.countthecosts.org/sites/default/files/Economics-briefing.pdf\"&gt;http://www.countthecosts.org/sites/default/files/Economics-briefing.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;A comprehensive analysis of the war on drugs and its effects on the economy and crime. It makes the case that prohibition on drugs has only served to place control of the $330bn market into control of criminal organisations. A good source for using when explaining how drug policies that ban substances only grows the market, makes drugs cheaper and creates more access to it. It also highlights the massive waste of resources policing drugs such as cannabis (such as $1 trillion spent in the US over the past 40 years). If you want to use this source to argue for overhauling the entire drug policy beyond cannabis it also discusses other problems caused such as corruption and increased healthcare costs treating disease. I highly recommend going through this, especially the “are there benefits?” and conclusion sections.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Cannabis petition forces MPs to consider debating legalisation\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/25/cannabis-legalisation-petition-government-website\"&gt;http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/25/cannabis-legalisation-petition-government-website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;An article from the guardian about the petition but most importantly contains quotes from key figures discussing drug policy reform. Figures such as Lady Meacher, chair of the all-party parliamentary group for drug policy reform back the official petition. It also contains some statements from crime commissioners from Derbyshire and Dorset about low prioritisation on cannabis. It&amp;#39;s a good source for Lady Meacher&amp;#39;s quotes supporting legalisation and about how crime commissioners aren&amp;#39;t taking cannabis criminalisation very seriously.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Why it&amp;#39;s time to end the war on drugs:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/486fb0d8-7ca3-11de-a7bf-00144feabdc0.html\"&gt;http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/486fb0d8-7ca3-11de-a7bf-00144feabdc0.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;A Financial Times article about ending the war on drugs. It highlights the massive amount of casualties caused by the drug war internationally and argues for the regulation of recreational drugs including cannabis. It also points to why the ban on marijuana was instated and points out flaws of the drug classification system used in the UK. It&amp;#39;s a good discussion of why the drugs law is failing and raises a good number of points you could use. If you can&amp;#39;t access the article, search for it on google where it&amp;#39;ll directly link you to it.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Is Legalizing Recreational Marijuana Use Beneficial To The Society? Colorado Crime Rate Statistics Surely Suggest So:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.inquisitr.com/1490010/is-legalizing-recreational-marijuana-use-beneficial-to-the-society-colorado-crime-rate-statistics-surely-suggest-so/\"&gt;http://www.inquisitr.com/1490010/is-legalizing-recreational-marijuana-use-beneficial-to-the-society-colorado-crime-rate-statistics-surely-suggest-so/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;A good source to use when arguing that legalisation doesn&amp;#39;t create crime. A common anti-cannabis argument is that having the drug legal would create crime. This argument falls short when you point out that in Colorado, where cannabis has been legalised, crime has actually fallen overall by 10%. The source drills into what that number means and brings even more encouraging statistics. While this figure might seem difficult to correlate directly to cannabis legalisation, it&amp;#39;s a good source for some hard numbers relating to crime throughout the same period before and after legalisation. The source also highlights how very adamant and vocal opponents to legalisation claiming crime would skyrocket have now eaten their words.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Economy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;One of the obvious points of discussing about legalising cannabis is the economic benefits. A legal cannabis industry would bring a lot of money into the UK economy through taxation. There are no solid numbers as everything has to be an estimate but we can at least look at countries and states such as Colorado in the US for good points of reference. Beyond money from direct sales there are more economic benefits such as money going back into the economy from those making profits in a legal cannabis industry (who would no longer need to launder money). Not to mention other economic benefits such as the number of jobs created in a legal cannabis industry and taking otherwise functioning members of society out of prison who are only there for non-violent drug offences. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Colorado pulls in $76M in marijuana taxes and business fees for 2014:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.thecannabist.co/2015/02/10/colorado-pot-tax-44-million-recreational-taxes-2014/29510/\"&gt;http://www.thecannabist.co/2015/02/10/colorado-pot-tax-44-million-recreational-taxes-2014/29510/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Another source highlighting the benefits brought to Colorado after legalisation, namely the estimated $76m generated in taxes and business fees. This really drives home the point that money once being sent into the unknown void of criminal organisations is now being put towards the state and good uses such as improving schools. Using this source will make it easy to argue that legalisation helps kill two birds with one stone – hurting the black market and bringing in more money for the country. Colorado&amp;#39;s tax revenues for cannabis are only increasing, it makes you think about what the tax revenues for the UK would be like and how it would scale over time.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Legalising cannabis: £1.25bn tax benefit - without necessarily damaging public health:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/legalising-cannabis-125bn-tax-benefit--without-necessarily-damaging-public-health-8818064.html\"&gt;http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/legalising-cannabis-125bn-tax-benefit--without-necessarily-damaging-public-health-8818064.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;The independent discusses a study (&lt;a href=\"https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/research/publications/521860\"&gt;the download for which is found here&lt;/a&gt;) that concludes the potential tax revenue from licensed cannabis supply in England and Wales to be around £0.4-0.9bn, and reduction in government deficit to be roughly £0.5-1.25bn. There are some outstanding pros to legalisation discussed in the article such as the suggestion that harm from cannabis use is related to chemical composition tampering of the drug from unknown sources, therefore regulation would diminish that risk and also control potency. I highly recommend going through this article for some good areas to base pro arguments around.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Cannabis&amp;#39;s long term health effects are still being researched but most studies seem to indicate casual use is not harmful. Like most recreational substances smoking cannabis might cause some harm, but at this point we can definitely say that it&amp;#39;s safe enough to give adults the right to choose to use it if they want to or not. It just simply isn&amp;#39;t true to say that weed is going to kill you, or even damage you in the long term such as how tobacco or alcohol will. In-fact, cannabis clearly has major medical benefits and therefore shouldn&amp;#39;t be ignorantly disregarded as a useless substance worthy of prison time. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Association Between Marijuana Exposure and Pulmonary Function Over 20 Years:\n&lt;a href=\"https://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1104848\"&gt;https://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1104848&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;This study concludes that low cumulative marijuana use is not associated with adverse effects on lungs or lung function. This is a substantial study collecting data from over 5,000 U.S adults for more than twenty years, comparing the effects of both (tobacco) cigarettes and marijuana smoking. This amount of data over such a long period of time gives the study a huge amount of weight and makes it a reliable source to use to make the point casual cannabis use isn&amp;#39;t detrimental to a user&amp;#39;s lungs. When looking at tobacco users the study found a consistent loss of lung function with increasing exposure, a distinct contrast to their findings with marijuana use. This evidence makes it easy to argue cannabis should be legal when cigarettes are legal. The study cautions heavy smoking as it may take a toll on the lungs, but does acknowledge the effects may differ when cannabis is ingested and does not acknowledge vaping which may be much safer than smoking. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Marijuana may be even safer than previously thought, researchers say:\n&lt;a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/23/marijuana-may-be-even-safer-than-previously-thought-researchers-say/\"&gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/23/marijuana-may-be-even-safer-than-previously-thought-researchers-say/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;This article discusses a study (&lt;a href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4311234/\"&gt;found here&lt;/a&gt;) that directly compares the risks between alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. The study looks at the risk of death of a variety of commonly used substances and found alcohol to be the deadliest substance, followed by heroin and cocaine. It&amp;#39;s worth looking at this source as just seeing the chart between the substances&amp;#39; harmfulness is truly an eye-opener. Cannabis was found to be &lt;strong&gt;114 times less deadly than alcohol&lt;/strong&gt;. While the numbers are encouraging it&amp;#39;s important to stay grounded as the article points out these findings doesn&amp;#39;t mean it&amp;#39;s safe full stop but it&amp;#39;s probably not something that the government needs to spend money deterring people from using. The study also states that the low risks of the drug suggests “a strict legal regulatory approach rather than the current prohibition approach”.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Cannabidiol Reduces the Anxiety Induced by Simulated Public Speaking in Treatment-Naïve Social Phobia Patients:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3079847/\"&gt;http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3079847/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;This study compares a control set of patients with and without social anxiety disorder in a public speaking simulation to determine the effects of a component in the cannabis plant. The study concluded that the patients treated with Cannabidiol had significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort in speech performance. Using this source helps make the argument that cannabis has medical uses and there should be an avenue for receiving treatment using it.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Smoked Cannabis for chronic neuropathic pain: a randomized controlled trial:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.cmaj.ca/content/182/14/E694.abstract\"&gt;http://www.cmaj.ca/content/182/14/E694.abstract&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;One of the more well-known benefits of smoking cannabis is its ability to relieve pain, this study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal confirms it. The study finds that 3 inhalations of cannabis daily for 5 days reduced intensity of pain and improved sleep. The author concludes that the substance clearly has medical value. This is yet another source to use to argue cannabis is useful medically.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;New Study Finds Marijuana To Be Effective Against Depression:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/06/marijauna-depression_n_6622126.html\"&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/06/marijauna-depression_n_6622126.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;In a study (&lt;a href=\"http://www.jneurosci.org/content/34/44/14560.short\"&gt;found here&lt;/a&gt;) conducted at the University of Buffalo&amp;#39;s Research Institute on Addictions shows results of testing marijuana cannabinoids on rat&amp;#39;s brains and that it was effective at alleviating symptoms of depression. The article points out that a &lt;a href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02791072.2013.873843\"&gt;similar study&lt;/a&gt; has found that patients who smoked cannabis experienced a 75 percent reduction in PTSD symptoms. This source is useful for pointing out potential medical uses of cannabis.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Marijuana stops child&amp;#39;s severe seizures\n&lt;a href=\"http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/\"&gt;http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;This article by CNN clearly shows that cannabis to be very effective at treating recurring seizures. This is a very emotional story about a young girl who suffered from epilepsy, after exhausting all other options her parents turned to a particular strain of cannabis. Her seizures went from occurring multiple times an hour to being immediately relieved. She now have cannabis oil twice a day in her food, she now has seizures two or three times a month almost entirely in her sleep. This story is similar to others as many people suffering from prolonged disorders have found relief through cannabis treatment.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Cannabis and Cannabinoids-for health professionals:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq#section/all\"&gt;http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq#section/all&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;This document from the National Cancer Institute has a lot of information regarding cannabis and cannabinoids and their potential uses. The document is inconclusive on cannabis&amp;#39;s relationship with cancer, but does offer more conclusive results regarding other issues. For example the document states that cannabis has mood-elevation properties to combat anxiety and can help improve sleep with users. This document is particularly useful as a source to use when arguing that cannabis is unable to cause death as it provides sources that reason that it is impossible to have a lethal overdose. It also dismisses the notion that cannabis is addictive; its addictive potential is much lower than many prescribable agents or other substances of abuse. This is a large source containing a lot of information so you may want to quote it for only one or two particular issues you&amp;#39;re raising.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Misc&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Cannabis row drugs adviser sacked\n&lt;a href=\"http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8334774.stm\"&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8334774.stm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;In 2009 the UK&amp;#39;s chief drugs adviser, David Nutt, was sacked following a paper he published claiming alcohol and tobacco were more harmful than many illegal drugs including ecstasy, LSD and cannabis. He criticised politicians for “distorting” and “devaluing” the research evidence in the debate over illegal drugs. He stated he was not ready to intentionally “mislead” the public about drugs to convey a moral “message” on the government’s behalf. The source has interesting quotes from the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne which will get you thinking about the government’s agenda. This was very controversial event which is a clear indication that the government&amp;#39;s drug policy is not based on evidence but is more akin to a moral standpoint. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Pot Use Among Colorado Teens Appears to Drop After Legalization:\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/08/07/pot-use-among-colorado-teens-appears-to-drop-after-legalization\"&gt;http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/08/07/pot-use-among-colorado-teens-appears-to-drop-after-legalization&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve seen the argument that it&amp;#39;s important to deter young people from using cannabis via criminalisation. While the health related issues of cannabis on the non-matured brain are yet to be fully understood it&amp;#39;s very interesting to note that legalisation clearly leads to drops in use of cannabis by young people. This might be caused by people discovering that being taught that using cannabis is potentially lethal might be much ado about nothing, or that they&amp;#39;re no longer getting a kick out of doing something that was taboo, regardless, the results are clear. Now if someone argues that youth use needs to drop, you can confidentially recommend legalisation!&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Changing Public Opinion\n&lt;a href=\"http://www.tdpf.org.uk/campaign/changing-public-opinion\"&gt;http://www.tdpf.org.uk/campaign/changing-public-opinion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Results from a nation-wide poll revealed that over half of the British public support cannabis legalisation or decriminalisation of possession. These results are worth reading in full but the message is clear – the British public want a reform of national drug policy. These results alone are reason enough to change the UK&amp;#39;s drug policy or at least hold a referendum on legalising or decriminalising cannabis as we live in a democratic country. Be sure to show these results to your MP as these numbers could prove to be the most important factor in changing the law.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Another point of debate is civil-liberties and points-of-view issue. In a few MP responses against drug policy reform I&amp;#39;ve seen them argue that cannabis isn&amp;#39;t right and we need to discourage use of it. You can&amp;#39;t really cite anything that objectively says consuming something for recreational purposes is right or wrong. It&amp;#39;s a moral issue but you can still be persuasive in the ways you present your argument and opinions. After researching the subject myself I&amp;#39;ve decided my stance and can see that the objective pros of legalisation &lt;em&gt;greatly&lt;/em&gt; outweigh the objective negatives. Part of changing someone&amp;#39;s mind is presenting a concrete arguement – which hopefully these sources will help you do – but you will have to use your own words when it comes to persuading them morally. Remember to avoid being aggressive or condescending. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;In my letter to my MP I argued that being against legalisation because one doesn&amp;#39;t agree with using it recreationally is an out-dated mindset, not based on science and shouldn&amp;#39;t be considered the basis of law. Having the courage to change long-standing beliefs or overcome embarrassment to be in favour of legalisation is doing the British public justice. Over half of the British public support legalisation, and we need to embrace scientific evidence and the wants of the British public in this progressive democratic country.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;hr/&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;While we&amp;#39;re at it let&amp;#39;s hold our government in accordance to their own arrogant drug policies &lt;a href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/28/lord-sewel-quits-house-of-lords-over-sex-and-drugs-claims\"&gt;because we know they enjoy recreational drugs as well&lt;/a&gt;. Consider signing this petition enforcing mandatory drug tests for all Members of Parliament:\n&lt;a href=\"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/105119\"&gt;https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/105119&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt;", "selftext"=>"Hey everyone. I'm sure like many of you, the government's arrogant response to the cannabis legalisation petition has ticked me off. They've spat in the face of over 200,000 British people to say they're going to cross their arms and continue to ignore the issue when clearly this is something a huge number of people support. The evidence overwhelmingly points to the legalisation of cannabis being the next logical step for drugs policy. Prohibition is beyond-a-doubt not working, and reversing it would bring many benefits and is in the best interest of the British people.\n\nWhen I was writing my letter to my MP about legalising cannabis I found there's no central place on the web that provides a list of sources regarding cannabis's benefits, so I've decided to create one here. I've seen a few letters to and from MPs about the issue and I believe our letters and arguments would be much more effective if we backed up our points with sources. Most of the responses ([such as this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/3g5d77/reply_from_tory_mp_about_cannabis_legalisation/)) I've seen have been more or less the same as the government’s response to the official petition – arrogant, stubborn and mostly inaccurate. Using sources will gives us more information for our arguments, backup our points and make it much harder for them to turn around and babble inaccuracy and hopefully get them on our side. You can use the sources however you want in your letter to backup your points. In my own letter to my MP I recently sent I would flag a point with a number in brackets and then list the number along with the corresponding source at the bottom of the document. \n\nIf you would like help getting your letter started there's [a good guideline of how to go about it on the r/trees subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/3ek63k/now_we_have_to_ensure_the_uk_petition_is_heard/). Be sure not to copy and paste anything and use your own words, then use these sources to help backup your points. When you're ready you can submit your letter to your local MP by using [WriteToThem.com](https://www.writetothem.com/). Remember not to be condescending or rude. We can really create change by writing to our MPs, I highly encourage you all to do so!\n\nLet's also use this thread as a discussion about sources. If you would like to contribute a source to this post then post it in the comments in the format I've used and I'll add it.\n\n----------\n\n# Sources\n\n\n* The official UK Goverment and Parliament official petitions website: Make the production, sale and use of cannabis legal.\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104349\n\nThe most obvious source. Make sure to mention this to your MP as a petition with over 200,000 signatures is pretty significant. Letting your MP know there's a lot of support for the issue is important. You should consider signing this if you haven't done so already.\n\n# **Crime**\n\nStudies overwhelming point to legalisation as a way of reducing crime and heavily impeding black markets. Crime relating to cannabis almost completely originates from conflicts in black markets, criminal organisations and gangs. These sources depend on cannabis being illegal to remain profitable, therefore making cannabis legal would cripple them whilst moving a large amount of their potential profits towards the country. Use these sources to help argue that cannabis legalisation wouldn't create crime but actually reduce it.\n\n* Cannabis growers won't be prosecuted in Durham:\nhttp://metro.co.uk/2015/07/22/cannabis-growers-wont-be-prosecuted-in-durham-5307749/\n\nThe current Crime Commissioner of Durham, Ron Hogg, has thrown his support in behind decriminalisation of cannabis users, and placing low priority on possession and small-scale production. There's some quotes in the article I would recommend using as it's hugely significant that someone very high up in the police has these views as he'll be someone much more aware of crime and its causes than most MPs will. \n\n* No correlation between medical marijuana legalization, crime increase: Legalization may reduce homicide, assault rates:\nhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140326182049.htm\n\nAn article from Science Daily discusses [a study (found here)](http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0092816) about how legalising medical marijuana (and therefore creating more access to marijuana) does not lead to an increase in crime, but actually points towards a correlation between a reduction in homicide and assault rates. Up to you if you decide to argue whether or not the findings lead to a decrease of those two types of crime, but you can confidently use it to argue that increased legal marijuana access isn't creating crime.\n\n* The War on Drugs: Wasting billions and undermining economies:\nhttp://www.countthecosts.org/sites/default/files/Economics-briefing.pdf\n\nA comprehensive analysis of the war on drugs and its effects on the economy and crime. It makes the case that prohibition on drugs has only served to place control of the $330bn market into control of criminal organisations. A good source for using when explaining how drug policies that ban substances only grows the market, makes drugs cheaper and creates more access to it. It also highlights the massive waste of resources policing drugs such as cannabis (such as $1 trillion spent in the US over the past 40 years). If you want to use this source to argue for overhauling the entire drug policy beyond cannabis it also discusses other problems caused such as corruption and increased healthcare costs treating disease. I highly recommend going through this, especially the “are there benefits?” and conclusion sections.\n\n* Cannabis petition forces MPs to consider debating legalisation\nhttp://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/25/cannabis-legalisation-petition-government-website\n\nAn article from the guardian about the petition but most importantly contains quotes from key figures discussing drug policy reform. Figures such as Lady Meacher, chair of the all-party parliamentary group for drug policy reform back the official petition. It also contains some statements from crime commissioners from Derbyshire and Dorset about low prioritisation on cannabis. It's a good source for Lady Meacher's quotes supporting legalisation and about how crime commissioners aren't taking cannabis criminalisation very seriously.\n\n* Why it's time to end the war on drugs:\nhttp://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/486fb0d8-7ca3-11de-a7bf-00144feabdc0.html\n\nA Financial Times article about ending the war on drugs. It highlights the massive amount of casualties caused by the drug war internationally and argues for the regulation of recreational drugs including cannabis. It also points to why the ban on marijuana was instated and points out flaws of the drug classification system used in the UK. It's a good discussion of why the drugs law is failing and raises a good number of points you could use. If you can't access the article, search for it on google where it'll directly link you to it.\n\n* Is Legalizing Recreational Marijuana Use Beneficial To The Society? Colorado Crime Rate Statistics Surely Suggest So:\nhttp://www.inquisitr.com/1490010/is-legalizing-recreational-marijuana-use-beneficial-to-the-society-colorado-crime-rate-statistics-surely-suggest-so/\n\nA good source to use when arguing that legalisation doesn't create crime. A common anti-cannabis argument is that having the drug legal would create crime. This argument falls short when you point out that in Colorado, where cannabis has been legalised, crime has actually fallen overall by 10%. The source drills into what that number means and brings even more encouraging statistics. While this figure might seem difficult to correlate directly to cannabis legalisation, it's a good source for some hard numbers relating to crime throughout the same period before and after legalisation. The source also highlights how very adamant and vocal opponents to legalisation claiming crime would skyrocket have now eaten their words.\n\n# **Economy**\n\nOne of the obvious points of discussing about legalising cannabis is the economic benefits. A legal cannabis industry would bring a lot of money into the UK economy through taxation. There are no solid numbers as everything has to be an estimate but we can at least look at countries and states such as Colorado in the US for good points of reference. Beyond money from direct sales there are more economic benefits such as money going back into the economy from those making profits in a legal cannabis industry (who would no longer need to launder money). Not to mention other economic benefits such as the number of jobs created in a legal cannabis industry and taking otherwise functioning members of society out of prison who are only there for non-violent drug offences. \n\n* Colorado pulls in $76M in marijuana taxes and business fees for 2014:\nhttp://www.thecannabist.co/2015/02/10/colorado-pot-tax-44-million-recreational-taxes-2014/29510/\n\nAnother source highlighting the benefits brought to Colorado after legalisation, namely the estimated $76m generated in taxes and business fees. This really drives home the point that money once being sent into the unknown void of criminal organisations is now being put towards the state and good uses such as improving schools. Using this source will make it easy to argue that legalisation helps kill two birds with one stone – hurting the black market and bringing in more money for the country. Colorado's tax revenues for cannabis are only increasing, it makes you think about what the tax revenues for the UK would be like and how it would scale over time.\n\n* Legalising cannabis: £1.25bn tax benefit - without necessarily damaging public health:\nhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/legalising-cannabis-125bn-tax-benefit--without-necessarily-damaging-public-health-8818064.html\n\nThe independent discusses a study ([the download for which is found here](https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/research/publications/521860)) that concludes the potential tax revenue from licensed cannabis supply in England and Wales to be around £0.4-0.9bn, and reduction in government deficit to be roughly £0.5-1.25bn. There are some outstanding pros to legalisation discussed in the article such as the suggestion that harm from cannabis use is related to chemical composition tampering of the drug from unknown sources, therefore regulation would diminish that risk and also control potency. I highly recommend going through this article for some good areas to base pro arguments around.\n\n# **Health**\n\nCannabis's long term health effects are still being researched but most studies seem to indicate casual use is not harmful. Like most recreational substances smoking cannabis might cause some harm, but at this point we can definitely say that it's safe enough to give adults the right to choose to use it if they want to or not. It just simply isn't true to say that weed is going to kill you, or even damage you in the long term such as how tobacco or alcohol will. In-fact, cannabis clearly has major medical benefits and therefore shouldn't be ignorantly disregarded as a useless substance worthy of prison time. \n\n* Association Between Marijuana Exposure and Pulmonary Function Over 20 Years:\nhttps://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1104848\n\nThis study concludes that low cumulative marijuana use is not associated with adverse effects on lungs or lung function. This is a substantial study collecting data from over 5,000 U.S adults for more than twenty years, comparing the effects of both (tobacco) cigarettes and marijuana smoking. This amount of data over such a long period of time gives the study a huge amount of weight and makes it a reliable source to use to make the point casual cannabis use isn't detrimental to a user's lungs. When looking at tobacco users the study found a consistent loss of lung function with increasing exposure, a distinct contrast to their findings with marijuana use. This evidence makes it easy to argue cannabis should be legal when cigarettes are legal. The study cautions heavy smoking as it may take a toll on the lungs, but does acknowledge the effects may differ when cannabis is ingested and does not acknowledge vaping which may be much safer than smoking. \n\n* Marijuana may be even safer than previously thought, researchers say:\nhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/23/marijuana-may-be-even-safer-than-previously-thought-researchers-say/\n\nThis article discusses a study ([found here](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4311234/)) that directly compares the risks between alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. The study looks at the risk of death of a variety of commonly used substances and found alcohol to be the deadliest substance, followed by heroin and cocaine. It's worth looking at this source as just seeing the chart between the substances' harmfulness is truly an eye-opener. Cannabis was found to be **114 times less deadly than alcohol**. While the numbers are encouraging it's important to stay grounded as the article points out these findings doesn't mean it's safe full stop but it's probably not something that the government needs to spend money deterring people from using. The study also states that the low risks of the drug suggests “a strict legal regulatory approach rather than the current prohibition approach”.\n\n* Cannabidiol Reduces the Anxiety Induced by Simulated Public Speaking in Treatment-Naïve Social Phobia Patients:\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3079847/\n\nThis study compares a control set of patients with and without social anxiety disorder in a public speaking simulation to determine the effects of a component in the cannabis plant. The study concluded that the patients treated with Cannabidiol had significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort in speech performance. Using this source helps make the argument that cannabis has medical uses and there should be an avenue for receiving treatment using it.\n\n* Smoked Cannabis for chronic neuropathic pain: a randomized controlled trial:\nhttp://www.cmaj.ca/content/182/14/E694.abstract\n\nOne of the more well-known benefits of smoking cannabis is its ability to relieve pain, this study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal confirms it. The study finds that 3 inhalations of cannabis daily for 5 days reduced intensity of pain and improved sleep. The author concludes that the substance clearly has medical value. This is yet another source to use to argue cannabis is useful medically.\n\n* New Study Finds Marijuana To Be Effective Against Depression:\nhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/06/marijauna-depression_n_6622126.html\n\nIn a study ([found here](http://www.jneurosci.org/content/34/44/14560.short)) conducted at the University of Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions shows results of testing marijuana cannabinoids on rat's brains and that it was effective at alleviating symptoms of depression. The article points out that a [similar study](http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02791072.2013.873843) has found that patients who smoked cannabis experienced a 75 percent reduction in PTSD symptoms. This source is useful for pointing out potential medical uses of cannabis.\n\n* Marijuana stops child's severe seizures\nhttp://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/\n\nThis article by CNN clearly shows that cannabis to be very effective at treating recurring seizures. This is a very emotional story about a young girl who suffered from epilepsy, after exhausting all other options her parents turned to a particular strain of cannabis. Her seizures went from occurring multiple times an hour to being immediately relieved. She now have cannabis oil twice a day in her food, she now has seizures two or three times a month almost entirely in her sleep. This story is similar to others as many people suffering from prolonged disorders have found relief through cannabis treatment.\n\n* Cannabis and Cannabinoids-for health professionals:\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq#section/all\n\nThis document from the National Cancer Institute has a lot of information regarding cannabis and cannabinoids and their potential uses. The document is inconclusive on cannabis's relationship with cancer, but does offer more conclusive results regarding other issues. For example the document states that cannabis has mood-elevation properties to combat anxiety and can help improve sleep with users. This document is particularly useful as a source to use when arguing that cannabis is unable to cause death as it provides sources that reason that it is impossible to have a lethal overdose. It also dismisses the notion that cannabis is addictive; its addictive potential is much lower than many prescribable agents or other substances of abuse. This is a large source containing a lot of information so you may want to quote it for only one or two particular issues you're raising.\n\n# **Misc**\n* Cannabis row drugs adviser sacked\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8334774.stm\n\nIn 2009 the UK's chief drugs adviser, David Nutt, was sacked following a paper he published claiming alcohol and tobacco were more harmful than many illegal drugs including ecstasy, LSD and cannabis. He criticised politicians for “distorting” and “devaluing” the research evidence in the debate over illegal drugs. He stated he was not ready to intentionally “mislead” the public about drugs to convey a moral “message” on the government’s behalf. The source has interesting quotes from the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne which will get you thinking about the government’s agenda. This was very controversial event which is a clear indication that the government's drug policy is not based on evidence but is more akin to a moral standpoint. \n\n* Pot Use Among Colorado Teens Appears to Drop After Legalization:\nhttp://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/08/07/pot-use-among-colorado-teens-appears-to-drop-after-legalization\n\nI've seen the argument that it's important to deter young people from using cannabis via criminalisation. While the health related issues of cannabis on the non-matured brain are yet to be fully understood it's very interesting to note that legalisation clearly leads to drops in use of cannabis by young people. This might be caused by people discovering that being taught that using cannabis is potentially lethal might be much ado about nothing, or that they're no longer getting a kick out of doing something that was taboo, regardless, the results are clear. Now if someone argues that youth use needs to drop, you can confidentially recommend legalisation!\n\n* Changing Public Opinion\nhttp://www.tdpf.org.uk/campaign/changing-public-opinion\n\nResults from a nation-wide poll revealed that over half of the British public support cannabis legalisation or decriminalisation of possession. These results are worth reading in full but the message is clear – the British public want a reform of national drug policy. These results alone are reason enough to change the UK's drug policy or at least hold a referendum on legalising or decriminalising cannabis as we live in a democratic country. Be sure to show these results to your MP as these numbers could prove to be the most important factor in changing the law.\n\n# **Other**\n\nAnother point of debate is civil-liberties and points-of-view issue. In a few MP responses against drug policy reform I've seen them argue that cannabis isn't right and we need to discourage use of it. You can't really cite anything that objectively says consuming something for recreational purposes is right or wrong. It's a moral issue but you can still be persuasive in the ways you present your argument and opinions. After researching the subject myself I've decided my stance and can see that the objective pros of legalisation *greatly* outweigh the objective negatives. Part of changing someone's mind is presenting a concrete arguement – which hopefully these sources will help you do – but you will have to use your own words when it comes to persuading them morally. Remember to avoid being aggressive or condescending. \n\nIn my letter to my MP I argued that being against legalisation because one doesn't agree with using it recreationally is an out-dated mindset, not based on science and shouldn't be considered the basis of law. Having the courage to change long-standing beliefs or overcome embarrassment to be in favour of legalisation is doing the British public justice. Over half of the British public support legalisation, and we need to embrace scientific evidence and the wants of the British public in this progressive democratic country.\n\n----------\n\nWhile we're at it let's hold our government in accordance to their own arrogant drug policies [because we know they enjoy recreational drugs as well](http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/28/lord-sewel-quits-house-of-lords-over-sex-and-drugs-claims).
