Expert okay's over counter cannabis May 27, 2004 A Dutch expert says providing cannabis through pharmacies for medical use does not lead to increased recreational use. In New Zealand, a select committee recommended last year that the drug be provided to patients for a range of complaints from chronic pain to MS and cancer sufferers. Officials are currently awaiting the results of a clinical trial in Britain.

Scholten says medicinal cannab…

But now players have even more peril to contend with: addictive drugs that can incapacitate or kill their characters. The designers of Achaea, one of the biggest online text-based games, have recently introduced a virtual addictive drug -- known as gleam -- as part of a story line in which a crime ring has been attempting to infiltrate the game's cities. And some players can't take it fast enough. "What we wanted to do w…

A bumper cannabis crop is being blamed for a Wairarapa school recording one of the highest suspension rates in New Zealand. Makoura College handed out the punishment 62 times last year, with 24 students suspended for drugs in February and March when a surplus of cannabis flooded the market, Education Ministry student support manager Peter Norton said. As a proportion of its 402 students, Makoura recorded its highest ever suspension rate last year and the fourth highest rate in New Zealand. The school had since joined a project involving iwi, which had resulted in suspensions dropping to four in the first term this year, Mr Norton said. College principal Chris …

University life and dope smoking are not synonymous, according to research done by fourth-year health and science students at the University of WA. Luke van Zeller, a health promotion student at UWA, said students had often been labelled "dope smokers" because of the relaxed atmosphere at university and the drug-related history of the '70s protest movement. But he said they had disproved the theory, showing only 2.1% of students regularly smoked cannabis and 56.8% had never taken any drugs. Luke said: "These are very encouraging results. "We intend to use these results to encourage students not to start taking drugs because they feel a need to fit in." In 2001, …

A biscuit is not always just a biscuit, as Marion Chitty found out when her home cooking landed her in court on drug charges this week, along with her partner who grew the special ingredient. But it was the age of the offenders ? not their crime ? that surprised New Plymouth police. Chitty is 67 years old, and her partner Ronald John Henry Stratford is 56. They were caught with 6kg of cannabis, some of which was frozen and stored in a deep freeze. Drug squad boss Detective Sergeant Greg Gray said two of the local police's biggest cannabis seizures recently had involved elderly people. "It's not the first time people in the older age group have been caught w…

It looked like an ordinary suburban home, but inside it had been turned into an enormous greenhouse growing marijuana plants more than a metre tall. Police discovered 850 plants during a raid on the single-storey Canterbury residence yesterday. The crop, with a street value of approximately $1.7 million, was hydroponically grown in four rooms and the roof cavity of the property in Banna St. "The house was set up for the sole purpose of cultivating these plants," Ashfield Detective Acting Inspector Brad Monk said. "There were few signs that people were actually staying at the premises." A team of 16 officers arrived with a search warrant at 9.20am. They were acting…

Ode to the Trailblazers
