October 05, 2006 04:17pm Article from: The Advertiser FINES for people caught smoking, selling or cultivating cannabis will increase, in some cases triple, from December. Attorney-General Michael Atkinson yesterday announced the increase in cannabis related fines. Mr Atkinson says the review of legislation will deliver the first increase in fines in more than 20 years.

The current $50 fine for possessing less than 25g of cannabis or less than 5g of cannabis resin, smoking or consuming cannabis or cannabis resin or possessing cannabis using equipment, will triple to…

The Full report can be found here http://www.unodc.org/unodc/world_drug_report.html A couple of exerts from the report ; "Confronted with the evidence that a relatively inexpensive and harmless recreational drug continues to be consumed by at least 1 in 25 people on the planet, and that it is supplied by a vast army of small growers the value of whose total economic activity is enormous, ought to make even the most diehard pot prohibitionist hesitate. Cannabis prohibition is a failed policy. In a world challenged by mass poverty, global warming, nuclear proliferation, and Islamist terrorism, what sense does it make to expend scarce government resources on enforcing th…

12 March 2006 TRANSCRIPT OF THE PRIME MINISTER THE HON JOHN HOWARD MP ADDRESS TO THE DEAKIN SOCIETY, MELBOURNE "REFLECTIONS ON THE SITUATION IN IRAQ" E&OE… During our recent celebrations of the Coalition's ten years in power, I have, as Prime Minister, been publicly reflecting on our Party's many great achievements, as was appropriate to do. But on this occasion, among old friends and senior colleagues, I wish to share some unsettling thoughts about the situation in Iraq. Three years ago in Sydney, when I spoke to the men and women of the Australian Defence Force, who were gathered on the deck of HMAS Kanimbla, I felt that above all other Australians, they were entitl…

IT seems illogical, but the same compound that addles the brains of marijuana users may help treat the symptoms and slow the onset of Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia among elderly people. In laboratory experiments, the compound, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), preserved levels of a brain chemical that declines in Alzheimer's, permitting the build-up of brain-gumming "amyloid plaques". The plaques are the hallmark of Alzheimer's and its dementia-inducing damage. "Our results provide a mechanism whereby the THC molecule can directly impact Alzheimer's disease pathology," researchers reported in the US journal Molecular Pharmaceutics. The team …

By Linda Silmalis January 22, 2006 SCHOOLS across the state will be forced to play the Australian anthem before class under a radical NSW Government plan to create respect in the community. Teachers at primary schools will be required to introduce "Australian values" studies from the beginning of this school year while the Three Rs will be expanded to five to include the topics of Respect and Responsibility. The move marks the first stage of plans to foster respect of authority which will be rolled out over the next few months. The changes cover all the major portfolios, including police, transport and housing. It will include a law enforcement package with ne…

Hey everyone today is OZ Stoners 7th year online, I know a few of you have been here since the begining and some of you may even remember OZ Stoners when it was an information site with no forums.

ALREADY facing possible charges of contempt of court, a Sydney doctor who grew almost 50,000 cannabis plants has verbally attacked police, the courts and his conviction. Dr Andrew John Katelaris was convicted on March 8 this year of one count of cultivating not less than a large commercial quantity of cannabis. He was given a three-year good behaviour bond by Judge Ralph Coolahan when he appeared in the NSW District Court in Newcastle today. But Judge Coolahan said he was referring another matter, in which Katelaris accused a jury of being ignorant and referred to them as "sheep", for consideration of charges of contempt. Outside court following his conviction, an…

RITUALS associated with drinking tea are typically rituals of relaxation. In Britain, workers will take a break for a "mornin' cuppa". So, when a group of entrepreneurs bought the rights to sell a drink made with tea and cannabis in the UK, it could have been the perfect opportunity for marketing a product guaranteed to make consumers zone out. Instead, C-Ice is concentrating on what it claims are its health properties. "The health angle is by far the most interesting one for us," says Harinder Kohli, C-Ice's UK commercial director. Kohli says C-Ice can boost the immune system as a result of the vitamins, minerals, omega oils and amino acids found in cannabis. The dri…

The NSW Council of Civil Liberties is looking at stamping out ALL sniffer dogs in NSW :thumbsup Apparently 70-80% of positive detections end without a single bit of evidence of drugs at all so the sniffer dogs are basically useless The council says its police harrassment to have a sniffer dog smell you up and down, expecially considering 70-80% of all positive results given by the dogs are false postives.... The police are whinging (as to be expected) demanding that the dogs stay on as they play a valuable role in the war on drugs and stamping them out will open the way for dealers and traffickers.... I'm not sure if they meant all public sniffer dogs like at…

Hey guys... Just thought I would put in a Plug for a Lawsuit we were in a few years ago, as NOTHING in Canada has changed since we SUED the Government for a SAFE, CLEAN, AFFORDABLE source of Cannabis in 2003. I STILL buy from the street when I can't grow enough to take care of my needs and am RARELY able to fill my allotted prescription of 20-28 grams a DAY. I am one of the largest prescriptions for Cannabis in Canada at this time due to an excruciating pain I have in my face twenty four hours a day called Tic Douloureux - the Worst pain known to medicine, associated with Multiple Sclerosis..... I am STILL fighting to have ALL Drugs legalized and regulated here in…
