Cannabis Dependence by Paul DILLon- What a load of BS by Jess Stone! Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in Australia, and in western society in general. Most people use it intermittently, experimenting with it once or twice or regularly over a short period of time. However, some people do experience great problems with the drug and continue to use cannabis even when it begins to have adverse effects on their life. For a long time there was a widespread belief that cannabis was not a drug of dependence and you could not become addicted. This belief was due to an apparent absence of tolerance to the effects of cannabis or of a withdrawal syndrome, particula…

I just came accross in my research an interesting company in the UK called GW Pharmaceuticals they have a product which has been approved for use by Health Cannada as of April 2005 for use on patients with 'central neuropathic pain' the product is what they call a "Oromucosal Spray" which i am assuming is a puffer that uses a liquid not a powder as i believe is the case with asthma. the product contains THC and CBD in a ratio of one to one. so far that is all the information i have found i forwarded an email to the company asking them to send me information on the product. the product has many other uses that it is currently going through approval for.

Charges Dismissed Against Loretta Nall; Happy 4/20 To All of Y'all! Posted in Chronicle Blog by Phillip Smith on Fri, 04/20/2007 - 5:42pm Alabama housewife turned activist Loretta Nall is out from under the long arm of the law, with the marijuana charges against her dropped as Cannabis Nation celebrates its unofficial national holiday, 4/20. She was arrested over an alleged roach after a pro-marijuana legalization letter she wrote to the Birmingham News prompted police and officials at her daughter's school to improperly interrogate the young child. The letter and the child's statements were the basis of the search warrant that led to her arrest. She was convicted…

IT is obvious that some people in the northern NSW town of Nimbin have chosen to be deliberately obtuse and are determined not to face the scientific facts about marijuana. How else can their staging of yet another Mardi Grass be interpreted? This event is wrongly called a festival. There is nothing joyous about people gathering to celebrate a drug that has a proven record of triggering psychosis and schizophrenia. The enthusiastic acolytes of marijuana, who will parade up and down the main street of Nimbin this weekend, dare not read the findings of the world's top neurologists in the past decade or those of Antonio Maria Costa, the executive director of the United N…

Police say outback Indigenous drug smuggling growing Police say the trafficking of cannabis and other drugs is on the rise in South Australia's outback Aboriginal communities. More than a year ago South Australian, Western Australian and Northern Territory police created a substance abuse desk so they could work together to stop alcohol and petrol being smuggled into outback towns. Port Augusta police Superintendent Peter Anderson says while the project and the roll-out of Opal fuel has curbed alcohol abuse and petrol sniffing, more people are now turning to other drugs. "Sadly the focus is now moving towards cannabis and other illicit drugs, so the need for our j…

Time to give Nimbin a fair go by S.Sorrensen Nimbin is a little town that tends to get up the authorities’ noses. Always has, since a bunch of long-haired, peace-loving, rebellious, alternative types invaded the village by Kombi in 1973. Authorities didn’t like Nimbin then. Somehow Nimbin has always given us a glimpse of our future. The village is a microcosm, previewing the impending issues of broader society. Issues like the environment and drugs. Every year thousands of people flock to Nimbin’s MardiGrass. It’s a cannabis law reform rally, a festival... a party. Call it what you will. There’s the Kombi Konvoy which splutters its way from Byron to Nimbin. Some of them…

Australia's binge-drinking culture is a "ticking time bomb" threatening to overload the public health system within decades, health experts have warned. A rise in dangerous drinking across all age groups, class boundaries and cultural lines has prompted calls for action. Top researchers predict Australia will see a big rise in chronic diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, cancers and brain disorders in the next 20 years. Addiction doctors say they are seeing a growing trend of drinkers as young as 18 suffering tremors, sweats and even seizures. Many are drinking a bottle of spirits a day, with experts predicting a rise in brain-damage cases. Those in the field …

HEADING to Nimbin and thinking you might risk taking along some of your best home grown? Here’s the front row line-up of the team you’ll need to avoid.

Greetings, Stoners! The rich narrative of the Australian cannabis community, with OZ Stoners standing tall at its helm, is a blend of trials, tribulations, heartening comebacks, and the unwavering dedication of its members. Let’s delve deep into this riveting tale.
Geocities: The Digital Genesis
In the bustling digital streets of the late '90s, Yahoo Geocities stood out as a haven for burgeoning online communities.

A Hiatus and the Phoenix's Ascent
Come 2022, OZ Stoners entered a period of unplanned dormancy, lasting a challenging 12 months. But, reminiscent of the legendary phoenix, this hiatus was transformed into an opportunity for rebirth. The platform underwent comprehensive upgrades, server enhancements, and a revitalising overhaul. As it emerged, it did so with a phoenix-like rise, soaring higher and brighter, dedicated to serving the community with even more zeal and purpose.
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. As it anchors and shapes cannabis discourse Down Under, it continually underscores the strength and beauty of collective endeavor.
