Portugal's drug decriminalization 'bizarrely underappreciated': Greenwald Rachel Oswald Published: Monday April 6, 2009 Champions of harsh drug criminalization laws as the best solution to curbing drug use will be chagrined to find that Portugal’s eight year history of decriminalization has led to lower drug usage rates.

Interesting report concerning The History and Use Cannabis in Australia, Prohibition and the Illicit Market. LINK It lists some figures for the average price of an ounce of cannabis over a number of years in Australia. (on page 11) I'm interested to hear some comments on this, especially from those who participated in the Cannabis market first hand at those times. Particularly in the 70's, where the prices are so low. I can't comment, I was not even thought of at that time. Cheers

Ode to the Trailblazers
The tapestry of OZ Stoners is woven with the dedication and vision of its founding members. Their relentless drive and contributions have been the bedrock of its success. While many of these pioneers continue to shape its direction, we pause to honor those trailblazers we've lost over time. Their indomitable spirit continues to inspire and resonate within the cannabis community. - Memorial Hall
The Lighthouse of Today and Promise of Tomorrow
OZ Stoners, in the contemporary digital landscape, stands as a lighthouse for the Australian cannabis community. Beyond being a forum, it exemplifies adaptability, unity, and a shared passion.
