Legal cannabis sale plan slammed May 6, 2008 - 11:59PM A proposal by the head of a Sydney drug and alcohol clinic that cannabis should be sold legally at post offices has been branded irresponsible by an anti-drug group. St Vincent's Hospital drug and alcohol service director Alex Wodak argued that cannabis should be legalised and distributed by the government, which would then be able to reap the resulting tax revenue. Drug Free Australia chair Craig Thompson rejected Dr Wodak's proposal. "At a time when the most reputable evidence points to the increased harms of cannabis, it seems highly irresponsible from a person in Dr Wodak's position to make such a statemen…

We apologise however Bongs N Things will be closed while we relocate it, as the current location has experienced nothing but problems unfortunately with the dispatch of orders. This has also slightly delayed our expected re-order dates sorry. Upon relocation of the shop it will also be under a new management style more suited to it. We apologise to anyone who has experienced any problems with their orders arriving and will hopefully have this solved with the move. If you have any current standing orders you have paid for and are still awaiting the delivery of it please email me along with your Order Number.

Some members of Minnesota's law enforcement community are lying in order to kill MPP’s medical marijuana bill in the state — in other words, in order to keep patients in pain. This small but vocal contingent is claiming that marijuana has no medical value, that “every prosecutor in every medical marijuana state” opposes its use, that you can “overdose” on marijuana, and more than a dozen other outrageous lies. We’re fighting back. Yesterday, MPP held a news conference at the Minnesota statehouse to refute the outright false testimony that law enforcement officials have been providing the legislature and the news media. And we distributed to reporters and legislators an …

From the ABC: Can't be anything but good. Too many zero-tolerance drug policy advocates have been able to use the 'no evidence of harmlessness' crutch because too many governments have actively interfered with cannabis research, preventing the assembly of a credible body of evidence. However, keep in mind that this study is being done by the government's 'National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre.' Whatever they come up with will be biased toward reduction or cessation of cannabis use, sort of out of the universal 'drugs-r-bad-mkay' box. They probably won't take into account that many cannabis users self medicate for physical or psychological disco…
