For small children, bedtime is story time, a cherished moment each night to get toasty in jammies and settle down with teddy bears, blankies, and tales of fuzzy animals, fairies, the stars and moon -- and partisan politics. What?! These days, even kids books aren't free from the venom being spewed back and forth in the ongoing civil war between the left and right. Here are some recent titles that might call themselves "children's literature" but are nothing more than political propaganda with all the subtlety of a fox in socks. "It's Just a Plant: A Children's Story of Marijuana" by Ricardo Cortes. (Magic Propaganda Mill, 44 pp., $18.95). The story: After …

WEST HAVEN, Conn. -- It might have been the biggest pot bust in West Haven history, but the case against three Vietnamese immigrants has fallen apart because of questions about a search. The three were arrested in December 2003 after officers allegedly found $4 million worth of marijuana growing in their homes. But prosecutors on Thursday dismissed all charges against Meng Le, 51, and accepted pleas to reduced charges from Thu Dang, 43, and her husband, Tam Ha, 31. Milford Superior Court Judge John J. Ronan said police testimony raised serious questions about whether Dang and Le consented to have their homes searched. Police testified that they asked to search…

The things you do when your 'medicated' and bored: I decided to do some research and play around with the figures to see if we can get someone to represent us in parliament. I made the figures pretty conservative (mainly used government figures) as I didn't want to exaggerate. Also decided to extrapolate to see the size of the pot economy in Oz. What you think guys? Are my figures valid?

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.
