Call for independent inquiry into medical cannabis
BODY:
Medical cannabis advocates have written an open letter calling for an independent inquiry of medicinal cannabis products after a Ministry of Health review recommended only minor changes to how the products are regulated. The letter says the MoH review had biased methodology, misleading and deceptive scientific claims. Nine to Noon speaks to campaigner Rebecca Reider and Dr Paul Wieland - a consultant anaesthetist at Southland Hospital.
EXTENDED BODY:
A review which left the rules for access to medical cannabis largely unchanged was 'biased', an open letter from advocates says.
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne had Ministry officials and medical professionals look at guidelines used to assess applications for prescribing cannabis-based products.
The review concluded there was a lack of data to support using the products.
Now a group of medicinal cannabis advocates, including the former president of the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Helen Kelly, have signed an open letter denouncing the review, saying it used biased methodology, and made misleading and deceptive scientific claims.
They have called for an independent inquiry into medical cannabis products.
Southland Hospital consultant anesthetist Paul Wieland told Nine to Noon the rules for prescribing the drug were very strict and costly.
"It's so ridiculously expensive, it costs... 12 or 13 hundred dollars a month, and who can afford it?"
He said there was not enough good data on medical cannabis worldwide because of the legal status of the drug.
"For example in... the United States it is nigh impossible to do cannabis studies unless you look at negative side effects because they have to be approved by a number of political bodies.
"For some reason many politicians seem still to be locked into this Reefer Madness thinking that was so prevalent in the '30s and 40s," Dr Wieland said.
A lot of the evidence for the positive effects of cannabis was based on anecdotal accounts, or came from case studies, he said.
"What is really needed to happen is for some clinical trials involving the whole cannabis plant."
Nelson chronic pain sufferer Rebecca Reider, who was recently discharged without conviction for importing a cannabis pain relief product, said Mr Dunne was "categorically resistant" to the drug, and there is a strong anti-cannabis bias in the review.
She said the doctors who provided the advice for the review did not have specific medical cannabis training, and the legal status of the drug made it hard for doctors to become familiar with it.
There are growing number of studies that showed the efficacy of cannabis, but people were forced to self-medicate and that could be dangerous, Ms Reider said.
Mr Dunne has previously said he wanted drugs to be viewed as a health issue and last month allowed a patient with a severe case of Tourette's Syndrome to be treated with a cannabis-based product.
Mr Dunne declined to appear on Nine to Noon.

New study shows IMF still tying economic reforms to loans
BODY:
A new study finds IMF is still demanding structural adjustment in borrower economies.
EXTENDED BODY:
A new study has found that despite the IMFs claims it has changed and no longer ties financial support to economic reforms, it still does. The International Monetary Fund's managing director Christine Lagarde has said the types of structural adjustments demanded of borrower countries is a thing of the past and "before her time". But the joint study from Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge and Waikato universities shows that conditions on loans such as the sale of state-owned-assets, restrictions on public spending and labour reforms are still prevalent.

Parenting - Resilient grieving, the loss of a child

The triple tragedy received wide media coverage, the crash was caused by a Dutch visitor who failed to stop at a stop sign. Lucy Hone has a Master's degree in resilience psychology. After Abi died, Lucy Hone wondered whether the resilience psychology she had been immersed in, could be applied in practical ways to deal with the trauma that she and Abi's Dad and two brothers were experiencing.Lucy Hone has written a book called What Abi Taught Us - which tells of her own fight for sanity, as the family endured some very dark days.
EXTENDED BODY:
When Lucy Hone's 12-year-old daughter Abi was killed in a road accident, her grief was overwhelming.
At the time Lucy was studying for her Master's degree in resilience psychology – and she decided to use it to help with her family’s trauma.
The crash also claimed the lives of Abi's friend Ella and Ella's mother Sally Summerfield. It was caused by a Dutch visitor who failed to stop at a stop sign. The triple tragedy received wide media coverage.
After Abi died, Lucy Hone wondered whether the resilience psychology she had been immersed in, could be applied in practical ways to deal with the trauma that she and Abi's Dad and two brothers were experiencing.
She has written a book called What Abi Taught Us which tells of her own fight for sanity, as the family endured some very dark days.
She talks to Kathryn Ryan.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation
KR: It’s a cliché, but in an instant everything changes.
LH: Yeah, absolutely. Like everybody you never think it’s going to happen to you. And when we first heard there was an accident it truly never occurred to us it would involve our girls. Maybe they had been held up perhaps, and they might be a little bit late, but they never said they were going to get down at the same time as us to Ohau. So it wasn’t until we called the police to say “just checking in, we are here, three families and we are letting you know we are here and we are expecting the Summerfield to arrive". And then we got a phone call from the police saying that they wanted to speak to us. And then, obviously in that moment, your lives take and extraordinarily different path.
KR: In that very, very early stage is it even possible to explain the overwhelming sensations, but also this underlying instinct you had that ‘we’ve got to fight for our survival here’?
Yes, in a lot of the research I’ve done it’s not that uncommon. And certainly from the feedback I’ve had from people this week who have started reading my book. I’ve had comments from people saying thanks for putting words into how I feel and normalising, in some ways, that determination to get through. So we know from resilient phycology that it’s kind of best defined as a determination to do whatever it takes to survive. To force yourself to think in certain ways and act in certain ways just to get through.
Is it a case that everything starts again?
I think we certainly feel that you’re living two different lives, our middle boy Paddy says exactly that – he’s living a different life now. But you know we didn’t have any choices over their deaths and we all feel really strongly that we do somehow have choice over how we approach our recovery. So there is that sort of determination and desperation to do whatever you can to enable you to get back to living a reasonably ordinary life. And I think it’s important to emphasise that my goal from the outset was only ever mainly functioning. It wasn’t a very ambitious goal, but it was mainly to see how we could get out of bed in the morning.
That in itself can be an achievement some days can’t it?
Yes there are good signs to show that distracting, engaging activities are really good ways to enable us to keep doing what we do and to carry on. I came across this beautiful grief theory called the oscillation theory and it says that we approach our grief and then we need to withdrawal, and that really resonates with me. Sometimes I’m strong enough to deal with it and I really do get glimpses of what’s really happened to us and there are other times that I definitely can’t cope with it so I want to ignore it and immerse myself in work and friendships, and our dog, our silly dog – it really helps to get up and walk the dog in the morning. There’s a myriad of strategies and a lot of them are very simple and practical, and they just require commitment to help us get through this.

A DNA study on the 2,500 year old remains of a North African man known as the Young Man of Byrsa could change what we currently know about human migration.
The man's sarcophagus was found in 1994 on Byrsa Hill - once the site of a Phoenician acropolis, now home to the National Museum of Carthage in present-day Tunisia. Full mitochondrial sequencing has revealed that he stood 1.7 metres tall, was aged between 19 and 24 years old, and most surprisingly, had Mediterranean / European ancestry as opposed to African or Asian.

1:20 DNA study of Ancient Phoenican finds European Ancestry
A study of the remains of an ancient Phoenican man could change what we know about human migration. Otago University Professor of Biological Anthropology, Lisa Matisoo-Smith lead a DNA study on the 2500 year old remains of a north african man, known as the Young Man of Byrsa.
His sarcophagus was found in1994 on Byrsa Hill, the site of a Phoenician acropolis. Today it is the location of the National Museum of Carthage in Tunisia. He was 1.7 metres tall and aged between 19 and 24 years old. And a full mitochondrial sequencing has revealed some surprising results - he had Mediterranean/European ancestry as opposed to African or Asian.
Professor Matisoo-Smith talks to Jesse Mulligan about what this says about human migration.

Microdosing: hallucinogenics for health
BODY:
Why are some Silicon Valley creatives regularly taking tiny doses of psychedelics? We ask American psychologist and psychedelic research pioneer Dr James Fadiman, who is studying the practice of "microdosing".
EXTENDED BODY:
Why are some Californian creatives regularly taking tiny doses of psychedelic drugs? Psychologist and psychedelic research pioneer Dr James Fadiman has been studying the effects of 'microdosing'.
A 'microdose' is a very small amount of LSD or hallucinogenic mushrooms – about a 10th to a 20th of the amount one would take to get 'high' – taken to improve mental health or aptitude.
James Fadiman tells Bryan Crump that the effects are sub-perceptual, which means users don’t perceive the external world any differently.
Interview highlights
Dr James Fadiman: [Microdosing] has an enormous number of benefits for health. I should mention from the onset it has no traditional psychedelic effects… As someone said once “The rocks don’t glitter even a little”.
The benefits seem to be that the body uses this little dose to reset parts of itself which are off-centre. The most usual is people who report depression and anxiety, usually saying they have tried a number of meds who haven’t worked well or they don’t like the side effects. They find microdosing almost immediately to improve anxiety and depression without any side effects that they notice.
For people who don’t have a psychological medical condition, they report that they function better. What that means for most people is that they are not more creative – as in higher level – but they are creative longer. They’re able to sustain their work in a different way.
A number of people have used it for specific problem solving. I recently talked to a group in San Francisco, a young man said ‘I use it when I have a serious coding problem’, which in San Francisco is quite usual.
Another person says ‘I use it for machine design, because it’s difficult to keep in mind the different parts as they are in motion and I have increased pattern recognition when I am microdosing'.
A number of people have used it for sports. They indicate their reflexes are a little better and their mental coordination is better.
The advice is – if you have any psychedelic effect, that’s too much. If the rocks start to glow and the flowers turn and notice you, you’re not going to function very well at a sales meeting where you’re selling chocolate covered widgets.
There are two research studies going on now – one in Australia and one in Spain – and there are some under the radar but very tightly controlled research studies being done in other places… Basically, it’s very hard to hold down something that improves peoples’ health.
The difficulty is that microdoses seem to be helpful for people with difficulties, but they have a different kind of help when you’re not in difficulty. They’re much closer to, say, Vitamin D.

Capturing South Africa - Accusations of corruption and unexplained ministerial appointments have fuelled widespread suspicions that the South African state has been "captured". At the heart of this accusation are the Gupta brothers - a secretive family of Indian-born entrepreneurs. From modest beginnings in the 1990s, the Guptas' South African business empire grew dramatically. Boosted, it is said, by their alleged influence over state contracts, political appointments and President Zuma himself. Michael Robinson tells the story of "Guptagate" - how one of the fiercest political storms since the ending of apartheid has swept South Africa and its increasingly embattled President.
