Medical Cannabis Research Fund leads cannabis studies at UNM

ake ad

By Madeline Putkite @madelinepukite

The team of researchers with the Medical Cannabis Research Fund (MCRF) at the University of New Mexico have continued their grassroots effort despite federal pushback, lack of funding and the coronavirus pandemic.

The team is made up of a variety of professors from different departments and backgrounds at UNM. Jacob Vigil, a professor of psychology, is the group’s director and started it alongside Sarah Stith, an assistant professor of economics and an investigator for the MCRF. Research has proven difficult due to the federal restrictions, making it harder to publish findings on controlled substances, Vigil and Stith said. Additionally, physical research has been postponed due to the pandemic, but the team is still doing online research and remote assessments.

The program is limited to observational study techniques, meaning the team can only observe individuals who are already using medical cannabis in their daily lives. Cannabis is a Schedule I drug under federal law, which limits approved studies to federally supplied cannabis that contains levels of THC that are substantially lower than what most medical marijuana patients use.

Still, Stith said they have been able to make some strides in cannabis research, specifically detailing the effects of THC and CBD, which are the two main chemical components of cannabis, according to Healthline.

“THC leads to a more intense experience so you get more symptom relief but you also get more side effects,” Stith said.

“The CBD moderates that effect so you may get fewer therapeutic benefits, but you also get fewer negative side effects.”

In their research, Stith and

Vigil also refrained from differentiating between medical and recreational cannabis use, as they believe any use of cannabis can be considered medical.

“If people are using it to calm their nerves, or to not yell at their kids or their wife, or to sleep, or to reduce a little bit of an ache in their back, that's all medicinal,” Vigil said.

Before the pandemic, the

team had been physically studying the potential effects medical cannabis use can have on how individuals interact with each other, and if it can help to create a more inclusive community.

“One of my personal pursuits seems to be the effects of cannabis on how we think about ourselves as social beings, and of other people,” Vigil said. “I believe that it has a direct effect

on our pro-sociality, so basically how we feel about communities and groups and so forth, in a way that creates a more benign disposition.”

This physical research was stopped halfway through at the candidate selection process due to the pandemic and the University’s closure. They studied nearly 150 healthy undergrad students with varied levels of ex-

posure to medical cannabis.

“Early indications are that the data is going to suggest some really interesting distinctions for those undergraduate students that had THC in their system and those that didn't in terms of reducing aggression towards other folks, and hostility,” Vigil said.

Stith said it will also be important in future research to understand how to regulate the different levels of THC in cannabis. These differences can result from varying growing conditions, and are even harder to keep consistent across multiple strains. This can lead to some frustration when patients try to find a consistent dose of THC to manage their condition.

“This inability to standardize the medication is really a challenge for cannabis patients, because you find something that works for your condition, but how do you get that same product again?” Stith said. “I think that's really going to be the future research … which types of people benefit from which types of cannabis.”

Currently, the team cannot apply for federal research grants, since cannabis is illegal federally, and have only received limited grants from the University. This motivated Vigil to set up the MCRF, which provides almost all of their funding.

“Our little fund that we started is basically a grassroots effort to directly serve our community by folks that grew up here and care about the community and don't (care) about our scientific egos and our reputations or anything like that,” Vigil said. “I truly devoted my life to serving you and everybody else around us.”

PHOTO STORY

Local 4/20 art show kicks off the holiday weekend with a bong

By Shelby Kleinhans @BirdsNotReal99

Situated between a barber shop and a tattoo parlor, the exterior of Rebel Prints off Third street in downtown Albuquerque appears unassuming at first glance. But if you walked in on the afternoon of April 16, you would’ve been treated to a wide array of artwork and apparel in a particular shade of green.

This wasn’t your average art pop-up; it was the “Roll into Spring Cannabis Inspired Art Show” hosted by Rebel Prints from 4:20 to 7:10 p.m. The description of the event posted on Facebook stated, “Here we go Yo! Let's Roll into Spring with a fresh look on going Green. Live Art! Chill Vibes! Masks Required.”

Iconic leaves, reddened eyes and lighters were plentiful among the artwork adorning the walls of the studios crafted by 13 local artists. Screen-printed t-shirts made by Karl Bautista, the owner of Rebel Prints, would satisfy any cannabis enthusiast’s needs. A vendor market out back hosted an additional eight artists selling their goods.

Chill vibes were aplenty at this show, which had everything from beadwork to handmade jewelry, and prints of paintings

that were both 4/20 inspired and not. Every artist at the show was passionate about their craft and more than happy to talk to guests about their work.

Coming from the Laguna Pueblo, Bautista said he didn’t discriminate against any artist and wanted to uplift newer and younger artists because “the way we’re taught and raised is to have a communal based life and to offer all of our stuff to everybody at any time.”

Bautista also said 100% of the profits from sales of the pieces hanging on the walls goes directly back to the artists because of the financial strain put on them by the pandemic.

When asked about the theme of the pop-up and the recent legalization of recreational cannabis, Bautista said it was coincidental how close together Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s signing of the bill and his art show were.

“Bob Ross is one of my idols and he always says ‘It’s a happy little accident,’ so this is a happy little accident. Because of 4/20 I wanted to be able to just kind of fit in and get that flow with what’s going on in time” Bautista said.

PLAYLIST

Cannabisseur’s Delight The recent legalization of recreational cannabis is cause for celebration, and to commemorate the event and the upcoming 4/20 holiday, the Daily Lobo editors assembled their favorite songs with especially chill vibes.

Listen to the playlist on Spotify by scanning the code below!

Editor: Joseph McKee Song: Nothing Can Stop Us Saint Etienne Playlist Tracks: 1 - 5 Featuring a blend of houseinspired rhythms, breathy vocals and romantic strings, “Nothing Can Stop Us” is one of the strongest songs off of Saint Etienne’s 1991 album, “Foxbase Alpha.” The song has an overall dream-like quality and bright pop essence that is addictive given its simple beat and swirling flourishes.

Editor: Megan Gleason Song: Come Sail Away - Styx Playlist Tracks: 6 - 10

Editor: Liam DeBonis Song: Serene - Ambulo Playlist Tracks: 11 - 15

This classic song takes you through a multitude of different rock styles while highlighting creative and realistic lyrics. The combination of percussive and vocal elements, along with core guitar support, creates an encapsulating listening experience that perfectly accompanies your “relaxation” time. Although the chorus eventually fades out, the song continues to play in your mind well into the rest of the day.

“Serene” is a masterpiece of soothing, gentle beats to slow your heart rate down.

The calming piano chords and laid-back beat forms an idyllic backdrop for the beautiful guitar line which flows effortlessly through the track. It’s a perfect song to sip tea or meditate with.

Editor: Alex McCausland Song: Into the Deep Time (One Sun) - Candy Claws Playlist Tracks: 16 - 20

Editor: John Scott Song: Pink + White - Frank Ocean Playlist Tracks: 21 - 24

This intro track to the album “Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time” surrounds you in a lush, enveloping soundscape that pulls you in further and further with each psychedelic chord. The song’s droning progression lulls you into a trance-like state that compliments any herbalist’s day off. Great for fans of: My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Melody’s Echo Chamber and Tame Impala.

Even on an album that’s loaded with fantastic songs, “Pink + White” still manages to stand out among the crowd, namely because of the elegant, lavish production and Frank Ocean’s smooth vocals. Once you hit the vocal harmonizations with Beyonce, you’re completely entranced. You’ll wish you could go back and listen to it for the first time just to remember the feeling.

Governor legalizes recreational marijuana statewide

By Gabriel Biadora & Madeline Pukite @gabrielbiadora @ madelinepukite

On April 12, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation legalizing adult recreational cannabis use and authorizing the expungement of some cannabis convictions.

“This legislation is a major, major step forward for our state.

Legalized adult-use cannabis is going to change the way we think about New Mexico for the bet-

ter — our workforce, our economy, our future,” Lujan Grisham said in a statement released on the same day.

House Bill 2 (HB 2), the Cannabis Regulation Act, will allow individuals 21 years or older to legally purchase up to 2 oz (about 57 grams) of cannabis flower, 16 grams of extract and 800 mg of edibles at one time from a licensed retailer. Any more than said amount may not be possessed at one time outside of a private residence.

In addition, consumers will only be able to publicly smoke cannabis products in regulated, specified consumption areas.

Individuals can grow up to 12 mature cannabis plants at their residence for personal use, and cannabis producers can grow up to 200 mature cannabis plants at a licensed location. A yearly limit will be placed on how many cannabis plants a licensee may grow based on market analysis of supply and demand.

According to HB 2, retail sales of commercial cannabis will begin no later than April 1 of next year.

Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), the Expungement of Certain Criminal Records Act, could expunge cannabis convictions for “tens of thousands of New Mexicans,”

according to a press release from the office of the governor.

“Thousands of people, and a disproportionate number of them from communities of color, have been wronged by this country’s failed war on drugs,” Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, said. “We will all benefit from our state’s smart, fair and equitable new approach to past low-level convictions.”

Lujan Grisham has historically been a proponent of cannabis legalization, citing the economic potential of the recreational cannabis industry.

“We’re ready to break new ground. We’re ready to invest in

ourselves and the limitless potential of New Mexicans,” Lujan Grisham said. “And we’re ready to get to work in making this industry a successful one.”

Following cannabis legalization, inmates await expungement

By Hannah John @yesitshannahj

Within recent years, adult use of recreational marijuana has been legalized in 16 states, and the use of medical marijuana has been legalized in 19 states. Despite the sweeping shift of the drug’s legal status, some states have yet to expunged the records of people who have been convicted of marijuana charges.

Racial disparity plays a big role in marijuana-related arrests. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, Black people in New Mexico are four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people. Within Bernalillo County alone, a Black person was almost twice as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession in 2018. This is compared to the nationwide average, where Black people are 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people, the highest disparity from 2010 - 2018.

According to Bernadine Hernandez, an assistant professor at the University of New Mexico and a

member of both the Prison Divest New Mexico Coalition and the Fronteristxs Collective, private prisons thrive within New Mexico. Inmates, including people with marijuana charges, are most likely to be held at a private prison.

“Private prisons are not part of the state or federal government so private prisons do not have to report to any type of government officials to keep them in check, there’s no checks and balances. The conditions in private prisons are really bad and they don’t have to report to anybody,” Hernandez said. “(The prisons are) also making money off of people who are incarcerated in New Mexico, which always happen to be BIPOC, particularly Indigenous and Latinx people.

That shouldn’t be happening — you shouldn’t be making money off of incarcerated people.”

In 2019, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill that decriminalized the possession of marijuana up to half an ounce. According to Shad DeFoor, a local Albuquerque resident who was incarcerated for a year for vehicular homicide when he was 18 years old, this didn’t change

things for the people who were arrested for marijuana charges before 2019. Some of those people are still serving time to this day.

“During my time incarcerated, I obviously met a lot of people that were locked up for (drug charges involving marijuana). Obviously, in prison, it wasn’t just petty possession anymore,” DeFoor said. “It was usually distribution or some heavy

possession, over a couple pounds type thing. I saw people doing years for it, nine or 10 years — longer than the murderers.”

In 2007, a bill passed in New Mexico that legalized the use of medical marijuana. Despite this, incarcerated people with marijuana charges still had to wait out their sentences even knowing marijuana has recognized medicinal uses.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO DeFoor said dispensary owners usually own more plants than is legally allowed, but that it’s usually overlooked because their business is generating money for the state.

“There’s people I have seen that are doing nine or 10 years for distribution of cannabis — they didn’t get those same breaks (dispensaries did) with the judicial system or how the legislation reads out,” DeFoor said.

“Despite similar drug use rates, people of color are stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted and eventually incarcerated at 13 times the rates of whites,” the Drug Policy Alliance reports.

On April 12, Lujan Grisham legalized recreational cannabis use in New Mexico. Along with this new law comes the possibility of expungement of low-level cannabis related convictions from the records of 150,000 people who are currently incarcerated.

DeFoor believes this is a step in the right direction. “(Expungement) is definitely a necessary step. I followed the legislation closely with the expungement and how it doesn’t keep you out of participating in the future of cannabis,” DeFoor said. “It is righting the wrong as best as it can at this point in the game.”

Cannabis and Communication classes offered at UNM

By Megan Gleason @fabflutist2716 Since spring 2019, associate professor Tamar Ginossar has taught two “Cannabis and Communication” courses focused on stigma and discourse surrounding the recentlylegalized drug.

“For the 200 level (course), the goal is to apply communication concepts and learn about the field of communication through the topic of cannabis, which is a topic that is very meaningful and very interesting to a lot of students,” Ginossar said.

The upper-level companion course, CJ 393, will be available as a class this summer over Zoom, but Ginossar said she’s hoping they can transition back to an in-person environment in the future. According to Ginossar, this class is more indepth than the introductory course and has a specific focus on research.

“We learn the meat and potatoes about what you need to know about cannabis to effectively communicate with the public,” Timothy Harris, a former student and UNM graduate, said.

Harris added that a difference between the two courses is that the 200-level course teaches about stigma as a general concept, whereas the 300-level course explores stigma’s specific effects on communication.

“There’s a lot of stigma associated (with cannabis), and that’s something that came up really strongly in both of the classes I taught on the topic, is the importance of address-

ing stigma,” Ginossar said. “Even though, medically, cannabis has been legalized in New Mexico for a while, there was still a lot of stigma around it.”

Ginossar said stigma can be both good and bad. For example, it can be positive because the subject is taboo and enticing to college students. However, the more negative side emerges when students decide not to tell their parents they’re taking the course in fear of what their reactions will be.

“There’s a level of stigma attached to cannabis that isn’t seen in, say, if you take antidepressants or if you undergo chemo treatments,” Harris said. “I’m sure those things are stigmatized as well, but just because of the history of cannabis as a drug, it’s a little bit more of a complex issue.”

Harris said one of the most important takeaways of the class was the need to normalize topics surrounded by stigma. As a journalist himself, he uses his platform to assist in this normalization, and encourages others with a platform to do the same.

“There’s no limits to what can become a normal part of day-to-day life,” Harris said.

Ginossar said she teaches this course specifically because students can relate to the topic.

“I feel that pedagogically it’s really important to choose topics that are interesting to students, and cannabis all of a sudden is a topic that is very interesting to many students and has an impact on a societal level and an individual level that is really important to consider,” Ginossar said.

Cannabis is a subject that quickly evolves and progresses, and the course must adapt to reflect that, Ginossar said. The recent legalization of recreational cannabis will contribute to changes in the class curriculum.

“The first most immediate thing is we need to learn how it was exactly legalized, what provisions were made, how this policy change was informed by policies in other states, maybe even other countries,” Ginossar said. “But it might influence it in other ways; it just happened so I definitely need to consider what is the impact going to be long term.”

Conversations about personal experiences with cannabis will be more open during the course due to the legalization, according to Ginossar.

“The conversation will definitely shift away from the medicalization and more towards the ways that we talk about other commodities in our state,” Harris said.

Harris said students often misinterpret the goal of the course, thinking it will be strictly about cannabis and other related topics. More accurately, this is a communication course that intersects with cannabis.

“You’re learning communication methods. It’s no different than if you would take any other public health communication course,” Harris said.
