“Amnesty” for NSW Police Drugs Users Operation Abelia – Research and investigation into illegal drug use by “some” NSW Police Officers. Police Integrity Commission website <http://www.pic.nsw.gov.au/InvestigationReports.aspx> The report consists of 4 volumes - it’s a lot of reading so I have extracted a few sections from volume 1 of the summary report ... still a lot to read A few things to note: 1.The meaning of Amnesty: “an act of grace on the part of the state which effectively obliterates some wrong doing.” (The CCH Macquarie Dictionary of Law) 2.The word minimise is used consistently throughout the report – not “drug free” or “zero tolerance.” 3…

Marijuana patients advised "don't smoke..vaporize" 5 September 2008 PR Cannazine http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/611/27/ Patients receiving physician approval to use cannabis should be warned that chemicals released when the dried leaves and/or flowers are burned put heavy smokers at increased risk for bronchitis and respiratory infections.1 The risk can be avoided, however, by an alternative delivery system: a device called a vaporizer that heats dried cannabis to a temperature where cannabinoid vapors are released, but below the point of combustion, where noxious and carcinogenic smoke toxins are formed. Patients can thus inhale the pharmaceutically acti…

Heard this the other day thought it would be interesting to read more on it (boy was i wrong) Amy Winehouse's (or Winey Drughorse as i affectiantly call her) excessive drug consumption, with one binge after the next, has left doctor with dears that she could be brain damaged. The troubled ‘Rehab’ singer indulged in a 36-hour pot smoking session in July this year, which left her vomiting uncontrollably and hallucinating. Medics also warned the hellraiser will die if she has another drug binge and worried she would break bones during a fit, which a friend said was “like something from ‘The Exorcist’” - the infamous horror movie in which then-child actress Linda B…

Cheech & Chong Higher Than Martin Scorsese By Angela Watercutter September 04, 2008 Underwire ...Wired Blog Network http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/09/cheech-chong-hi.html Web traffic numbers are boring. Unless, of course, they can be used to lord over one's opponent ("More unique users on Tuesdays than 4chan!"). Which means, now that Cheech & Chong's MySpace profile has gotten more adds in 24 hours than Martin Scorsese's did, well, it's time to take notice. The classic counterculture comedians signed up well over 100,000 "friends" in the first day following the relaunch of their page to promote a new tour, according to the social networking site. What …

I love the media, they're such a bunch of knobs. http://www.smh.com.au/news/health/dope-smo...7097241179.html "More than a third of people who present at Sydney emergency departments after smoking cannabis are violent and half have mental health problems such as severe anxiety and suicidal thoughts, shattering the image that dope smokers are relaxed and sleepy, researchers have found." Hmm, OK so did the MJ CAUSE those problems or are these folks who have other issues and just happen to use MJ as well? "The data, collected by the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre, at the University of NSW, indicates that cannabis users can be as aggressive as cry…

The potency of cannabis gathered in police seizures has dropped, new official data reveals, casting doubt on one of the government's key arguments for reclassifying the drug from class C to class B. Figures collected by the Forensic Science Service and seen by guardian.co.uk show that the potency of herbal cannabis, which includes the strong "skunk" strain, has dropped from 12.7% to 9.5% since 2004, when it was first moved from class B to the less serious class C. This means that samples collected by the police are now weaker than when David Blunkett, the then-home secretary, downgraded the drug in 2004. According to the figures the level of THC - the main psychoact…

“Medical Marijuana” Takes On New Meaning for Metastatic Breast Cancer PR Cannazine http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/578/27/ 30 August 2008 If you have breast cancer, you may have considered the use of “medical marijuana” at some point during your chemo treatment. Smoking marijuana has provided some women with relief from the nausea and vomiting that can accompany chemo, relief that the range of normal side effect drugs weren’t able to give. Some states permit the legal use of medical marijuana; most don’t. Nevertheless, most women who want to try marijuana seem to be able to get it. Personally, I didn’t experience any severe problems with nausea. But I wa…
