More wasted dollars that could be put to much better use in actually helping people with problems ... more bullshit from people who don't seem to understand the logical arguments surrounding "drugs" ... People are going to take drugs as they have done for 1000's of years , It's not going to change. Use services and finances available to support the ones who may develop problems with drug use. It's all a farce and they are still trying to find more ways to demonize it , government funded and therefore biased research will not acheive anything at all remotely positive or constructive.

Hello to everyone, This morning I was reading and noticed yet another claim about Cannabis effecting driving. I woke up early today and for unknown reasons seem to have the writing bug and have written a few "opinion" peices that started as just trying to list a few ideas [in Notepad.exe] and turned into a larger than expected "spew" of thought.

Note: I realize there is is already a Topic 'pinned' here about Dope and Driving - Link. It's closely related and worth a read too ...

I heard this on ABC Radio National a couple of months back so I had a bit of a search and I haven't seen anyone post this, sorry if it's been posted before. It's a speech given by Norm Stamper at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney. He's the former Seattle police chief making sense on the so called war on drugs.

But the local authority said the lights on Warrenhurst Road in Fleetwood should be as bright as every other street's. It was only when the police noticed how dim the area was at night that an investigation began. They discovered that…

http://www.opposingviews.com/articles/opin...hs-r-1254094668 We need to work to change this imbalance, politicians may set drug policy, but its the media who have the most influence over which policies are publicized, therefore skewing the political process by manipulating public opinion.

This article is from 'The West Australian' Newspaper from Nov 13th, i couldnt find the online source so i copy and pasted the article that some kind person typed up Hopefully they still dont go through, but an interesting point brought up by Mongy is that the repeal was just to take attention away from the law that went through allowing police to search without suspicion, which is a disgusting violation of civil rights.
