Police have been told to back off from harassing tourists and drug users at Nimbin in northern NSW. A rally, organised by the Hemp Embassy, was held yesterday to protest against what some say is a new wave of police harassment. Police have strengthened their presence in the town, and a special operation included searching overseas visitors on tourist buses for drugs. Hemp spokesman Michael Balderstone says there needs to be better communication between the police and the community.

Hello together, Since the first of February this year, Belgium has updated their cannabis laws. They already did so in May 2003, yet because of severe shortcomings the court overruled those changes in October 2004. Therefore those laws were being revised and now accepted.

4th February 2005 ABC Gold Coast Radio interviewed a lower level government minister who is demanding that NSW/Queensland marijuana laws be changed so that they are consistent and relevant to each other, because, as the law stands today, you can, in NSW have your one or two plants and not be too worried, whereas in Queensland they, in theory will lock you up and throw away the key for the smallest amount. He went on to say that " the average marijuana plant can be harvested 4 times a year, yielding approximately 2kg per harvest, which is 8kg a year, enough to bring serious consequences in Queensland, but not much of a problem in NSW". Is he serious? I would like one…
