The high prices of drugs caused by prohibition force many drug addicts to turn to robbery in order to pay for their drugs. Legalization would drop drug prices. Drug users would no longer need to rob/assault innocent people in order to support their drug habit. This violence against innocent people would end if drugs were legalized. You support clogging our prisons and jails with nonviolent people. Nearly 50% of all people in prison and jail are serving time for nonviolent dru…

I suddenly realised tonight in a smoky haze that Thomas Jefferson is to blame for the whole cannabis Prohibition thing. He was a Cannabis grower and user and the silly bugga sat down and wrote the American Bill of Rights, there by pissing off the bigots and would be tyrants who vowed immediately never to allow this sort of thing to happen again EVER. They then set out to ban the plant they blamed for his "Evil" thoughts of rights for all. How dare he!!

From the West Australian on Saturday, there was a follow up today but I'll have to type that manually I think as I can't find it on their dumb-ass site. Author: LEE RONDGANGER and RONAN O’CONNELL Date: 11/7/2009 Source: The West Australian Saturday 11th July 2009 Copyright: "West Australian Newspapers Limited 2008" (I think?) This shit makes me mad. They are effectively searching people at random at a train station without consent or reasonable cause. And all that effort for a few "hits" by the dogs, and then subsequent searches which showed nothing. DAMN YOU STUPID ASS LIBERAL/NATIONAL GOVERNMENT! *pant, pant*

California screaming: can stoners save the Golden State? 14/07/2009 4:46:00 PM, Stuart Fagg Next By Stuart Fagg, ninemsn The Republic of California is known for many things: Hollywood, beautiful people, violent street gangs and the Governator. It also has the eighth biggest economy in the world. With a gross domestic product of $1.8 trillion, it's bigger than the Australian, Norwegian and Saudi Arabian economies combined. That's pretty big. And now, it's broke. Earlier this month, the Golden State's budget crisis took a spectacular turn. California began this financial year with a US$26 billion hole in the books and has so little cash it's been forced to issue I…

<h3 class="r">AM: 7TH LIONEL MURPHY MEMORIAL LECTURE by Professor Paul Wilson</h3> This is a PDF and simply will not play nice and allow cut and paste. However this is perhaps one of the best documents from anyone in a long time and this was 1993. We really could use a lot of what he says in this for our own fight against the governments.

Can't blame him for going into US politics instead though. Sorry I haven't been back in awhile. I live a long way from civilisation and rarely visit towns nowadays. I haven't forgotten about trying to create a grassroots movement for queensland. I've just been doing what I do best and buying up high traffic domain names. Just thought I'd ask if you wanted any free advertising. I have a funny feeling that I might be just about to make a headline or two. There is a new ICANN Preside…

After questioning, a team of officers raided his mother's three-storey home in Camden, north London, several hours later. It is alleged further drugs were found at th…

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/13/2624142.htm Sorry, this isn't quite Cannabis related but I know a few people that no longer drink because they prefer to smoke (me included). When's the last time you heard of someone stoned murdering someone?
