Looks like some little snot in the Federal Government has decided its time make an example of harmless potsmokers again. I realise the Government singles out minority groups to walk all over but this is going to hurt them in the next election. Over half of the population have smoked Cannabis at some point in their lives or still do and we all know the draconian prohibitionist laws originally made to destroy the hemp industry are a croc. What is the point in going after water pipes? For crying out loud I can make one out of an orchy bottle and a few inches of garden hose. Trying to prevent the sale of bongs will only leave us with more money in our pockets to buy pot. Th…

OK we have the reasons to legalise cannabis thread. Which I hope people will continue to add to. Now what reasons are there NOT to legalise cannabis? This is mainly from the point of view of the straight community, to prepare us for any arguments we may encounter, but there may even be some reasons that stoners don't want cannabis legalised either.

Was anyone able to pick up the latest Independent Weekly - it featured a large, healthy shade leaf and a headline to the effect that Adelaide is the marijuana capital of Australia or some such. I suspect it's a stupid sensationist article designed to pull in the weekend readership (ooh, vice!) but maybe I'm being too hard on the paper - it used to be a fairly bright paper. If anyone could post a scan I'd appreciate it or I'll look for it at the library and post it myself here. If Adelaide is the marijuana capital of Australia why do I never bump into other smokers - it's crazy!

Researchers say smoking pot not always path to hard drugs drug use Tuesday, December 05, 2006 By Anita Srikameswaran, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Contrary to popular belief, smoking marijuana need not be a steppingstone between using alcohol and tobacco and experimenting with illegal drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Researchers led by Ralph E. Tarter, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Pharmacy, found that nearly a quarter of the young men they studied used marijuana before they began drinking or smoking cigarettes. It's the reverse of what's known as the "gateway hypothesis," in which drug use is thought to progress from alcohol and tobacco to m…

Tough drug laws hidden away DESPITE Premier Mike Rann's tough talk to stamp out "evil" drug lords who use children as traffickers, his Government has failed to commence new laws targeting drug dealing activities. The laws were passed exactly one-year ago, creating more severe penalties for drug dealers but the Government has stopped them from becoming operational. Drug dealers who sell, supply or administer drugs to children should be facing maximum penalties of life imprisonment and, or, a $1 million fine. But the State Government, which promised to commence the law this year, has stalled its introduction while bureaucratic red-tape holds up other tough new drug la…
