An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say.

Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in. Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials.

Loud sex enough for cops to search your home, court rules For Brian McGacken of Farmingdale, New Jersey, an evening of loud sex resulted in a 10-year prison sentence for growing marijuana. On Feb. 17, 2007, New Jersey state troopers arrived at McGacken's home, responding to an anonymous 911 call complaining of screams coming from McGacken's home. McGacken explained the noise was a bout of loud sex; his girlfriend appeared at the front door and corroborated his claim. But officers searched his home anyway, and found enough marijuana -- including potted plants -- to put him away for 10 years on charges of producing a controlled substance. Appealing the conviction, McG…

The idea behind closing for the day is to encourage all those who like to smoke a joint to get out and vote for the parties which will ensure that coffee shops will not be banned in the Netherlands. Nol van Schaik <http://nolvanschaik.info/index.html>, who owns a coffee shop in Haarlem, launched the campaign because he f…

Hi all, I'm making a documentary on the use of drug detection dogs by police on public transport and at events. I'm looking for stories related to drug dogs in nsw. I'm particularly exploring their effectiveness and impact on people in light of the NSW ombudsman report on the dogs. Full confidentiality is assured if required, as I need audial as well visual interviews. Thankfully, Jarrod

Fair enough this isn't Canna related. But it similar in regards to medicinal extracts from other plants for either possible cures or general well-being. It's quite refreshing news that science is looking towards natural remedies, than the same old synthetic crap they like to palm off onto us. Anyway, enough outta me. I'll let the reports do the talking. Source: www.news.com.au Source: www.goldcoast.com.au

Hey all. Sorry to post yet another tidbit - but it's my first day off work for ages, so I'm going nuts with it Thought I'd post here some of my fave quotes from notable people about cannabis. Feel free to add to the list! "Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany) "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law.
