Members of the Network Against Prohibition (NAP) have been outraged by revelations that hundreds of Territorians missed out on work because of past illicit drug use. The claims, by the Murdoch Sunday Territorian come days after an announcement that 65 people had been purged from the Australian Defence Force for the same reason, many from Robertson Barracks south of Darwin. ConocoPhillips, the company responsible for building the new Gas Plant at Wickham Point in Darwin harbour, told the Sunday Territorian that 40% of NT residents who applied for jobs on the project were rejected because of failed drug and alcohol tests. NAP spokesperson Gary Meyerhoff said “According …

does this happen to anyone else here...? when i have any THC at all, even just one cone, in a few minutes i get this really intense tingling through my whole body (most intense in the feet, legs and chest). it's most noticable when i'm sitting still or lying down, or even just standing. it's the best feeling ever... better than anything. and the thing is, if i really let go i can still feel it the next day in the feet and lower legs. it's like the muscles are contracting really slowly and it feels great. fuck, i dunno. it's pretty weird. no one else i know experiences it, but i remember john birmingham said on triple j one time that he was aware of and could feel all…

AN American assistant principal who was trying to get a student expelled admitted planting marijuana in the boy's locker, police said. Police say Pat Conroy told them he placed the marijuana in the locker at South Haven High School, Michigan, last year because he suspected the boy was a drug dealer and wanted him expelled. The plan failed because a police drug dog did not find the contraband during a school search last year. Conroy, who has been placed on administrative leave, said he "lost his perspective" and had done something "stupid, arrogant and unethical", according to a police report. He told police that he only planted evidence once, according to the report…

A VICTORIAN policeman due to be presented with an international award for fighting the drug war has been accused of being involved in drug rip-offs. The detective, formerly attached to the National Crime Authority and the elite Australian Crime Commission, was yesterday accused of stealing money and drugs from drug dealers with other corrupt police. He was named during a hearing of the Police Integrity Commission in Sydney yesterday and was later suspended without pay by Victoria Police. The Herald Sun believes the detective, whose name was suppressed by the commission, is overseas, where he was to be given a medal this week for services to the community in rel…

POLICE will hold a phone-in next month to gather intelligence on hydroponic cannabis operations. The March 10 phone-in follows a similar operation last year, which resulted in more than 1000 calls. That operation also resulted in a large amount of hydroponic equipment being seized and destroyed. Next month's phone-in is in response to the large number of crops discovered in Adelaide over the past six months. Police say there are 66 shops specialising in hydroponics equipment in Adelaide. The believe many of these are selling equipment and fertilizers to hundreds of cannabis growers. It has been established that many of these shops have clear links to organised…

DRUG BARON LAW RARELY USED... Only one person has substantial property frozen. By Sean Cowan PROPERTY confiscation laws designed to bring down drug dealing Mr Bigs have been used just once since they were intro- duced more than three years ago. The laws allow police to freeze suspected criminals' assets without charges being laid. If the suspects want the property back they must prove it was bought with legally obtained funds. A list of police targets obtained by The West Australian reveals that 11 people have been the subject of unexplained-wealth seizures. Nine of them had already been charged over drug hauls but were arrested before a law was passed that allow…

A GERMAN high school student today admitted baking a hashish-laced chocolate cake that briefly landed 10 of his teachers in a hospital, and police said his apology likely would spare him being charged with any offence. The 19-year-old, identified only by his first name, Ole, told reporters he had volunteered to spend 10 days working at a local hospital in the northern town of Lueneburg to show his regret over placing the cake outside the school staff room on Thursday. "I created a real mess a few days ago," Ole said after appearing before an assembly of his school's 700 students and 65 teachers. "I would like to apologise." Ten teachers were taken to a hospital aft…

Drug Companies Pay Off Government to Sell More Anti-Psychotic Drugs Ill post it here for ppl that get lazy like me an dont feel like clickin the ling The drug industry knows how to market their drugs. For the big named drugs they spend billions of dollars on consumer advertising, but to sell medicines that treat schizophrenia the companies focus on a smaller group of customers, the state officials who oversee treatment for patients with mental illness. These patients make states among the largest buyers of antipsychotic drugs. Past evidence has shown, since the mid-1990s a group of major drug companies had campaigned to convince state officials that a new gener…

Is it my imagination or have there been quite a few dope related busts over the past few weeks?

In leafy Artarmon, the greenery is not confined to the garden. A cranky cat whose meows worried the neighbours has exposed its owner as a small-scale cannabis grower. Cranky at having been left alone for the weekend, the tabby meowed so loudly that neighbours called the RSPCA. What they found was a fat and happy feline living among a brightly lit jungle of cannabis plants worth nearly $100,000. The cat's owner, Rhonda McIntyre, 49, an unemployed landscape gardener, had turned her green thumb to hydroponic marijuana cultivation while recovering from a back injury. She pleaded guilty in North Sydney Local Court yesterday to possessing an indictable quantity of cannabi…
