UNEMPLOYED dad turned himself into a drug dealer after Centrelink told him he was too old to get another job. Marijuana helped generate an income for Mr Cook. Former retail manager Kenneth Mark Cook, 35, had lost his job for the first time in 20 years. He had no prior criminal record except for a few minor traffic infringements. But the Darwin dad resorted to dealing marijuana in his desperation to make money to pay bills and support his wife and children. Cook embarked on the new career path, the Supreme Court heard last week, because Centrelink officials told him to "change his life and re-educate himself" because he was too old to get another retail trade …

Now that recreational use has been dealt with, the WA Government are finally addressing industrial hemp. Hopefully medical use won't be too far behind. If they did it backwards, there'd be too many questions about legitimising or tolerating recreational use - deal with recreational use first and the other topics can be discussed without ambiguity: From: MAPNews <owner-mapnews@mapinc.org> To: mapnews@mapinc.org Subject: MN: Australia: New Laws Clear Way To WA Fields Of Hemp Newshawk: Niall Young Pubdate: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 Source: West Australian (Australia) Copyright: 2003 West Australian Newspapers Limited Contact: letters@wanews.com.au Website: http://www.thew…

For those that know me, you'll already be aware of my views that we need across the board law reform for all drugs. Not just grass. All drugs are a personal choice, and prohibition of ANY substance only and always creates criminal activity, police/government corruption, danger to users, especially youth, and more addicts strangely enough. Each and every one of the spin offs listed there are a huge topic in and of themselves, but I think would go pretty much un-challenged by all who study this subject. There's an article I want to post here in a minute, that shows the incredibly heavy hand that America has in our affairs. Regardless of if you agree with heroin trials…

Front-yard frolics upset neighbours 1 2

THE sight of two people “having sex’’ in the front yard got police involved in a neighbourhood dispute in Crows Nest. Three neighbours, including an elderly woman reduced to tears, called police upset at the behaviour of the pair, who were barely clothed and appeared to be having intercourse, Toowoomba Magistrates Court heard yesterday. The two — a 19-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man — were fined $600 and $85, respectively, on charges including indecent behaviour and obstructing police. The court heard that neighbours had complained on previous occasions about loud parties and music, bad language and abuse they had received from the pair. But the risque episode on Oct…

Just wondering about something, I recall a loooooong time ago, and I may be totally mistaken, that there was some reaseach done into either comparative deteriorative effects of alcohol and other drugs whilst driving, or it was something on the relative IQ's of smokers to drinkers... or something to that effect... not very precise eh? How about I just word it as a question... Have there been any studies into the IQ levels of long term, medium term and short term users of cannabis as compared to those who use no recreational drugs and long term, medium term and short term users of alcohol? I'm interested because of there is a lot of anectodal evidence that cannabis use i…

Anyone see the horrors of marijuana on Today Tonight this evening? (24th. Nov). Apparently this woman's son killed himself because he smoked all this pot for a few weeks, while on holiday. He returned home, to Tasmania and did himself in. Says a lot more about the situation of living in Tasmania for youth than it does about grass I reckon. But what was amazing was the pictures they showed of this kid on holiday were full of images of Jim bean, and Jack Daniels, and booze was barely mentioned. The idiot woman reckons she felt that he son was in a safe environment because he was in the centre of the country at Alice Springs ( I think it was there), and amongst Abori…

Source: http://www.medicalmarihuana.ca/death.html Sunday, November 2, 2003 by James Gordon from The Ottawa Citizen A local Canadian activist has died. Don Appleby was legally allowed to smoke marijuana to help with his AIDS. He apparently blew himself up while attempting to extract THC with butane. Don Appleby died of his injuries suffered in an Oct. 12 explosion while he was trying to make a concentrated oil using marijuana and butane. Don Appleby's fight against the aids virus that was sapping him was made more difficult by a tragic paradox. While the Ottawa man was one of the few Canadians who could legally smoke marijuana for medicinal purposes, he could rarel…

Granger allowed to appeal drug conviction By SEAN FEWSTER 21nov03 FORMER football strongman Dave "Grave Danger" Granger has been given permission to appeal against his drug conviction – and will challenge the validity of state law. Granger and his lawyers will ask the Court of Criminal Appeal to find South Australia's decades-old drug laws "contravene the Australian Constitution" and are unfair to anyone found with large quantities of cannabis. The Court of Criminal Appeal yesterday granted Granger leave to appeal against his jail term of four years and three months. Earlier this month, Granger, 48, was given a two-year non-parole period for growing 17kg of cannab…

Growers Beware 1 2 3

While hunting through the net the other nite I came across an Abstract from the Australian Journal of Plant Physiology. Cannabis sativa were assessed for their usefulness to trace seized Cannabis leaves to the country of origin and to source crops by determing how isotopes signatures relate to plant growth conditions. The CSIRO wanted $18.00 for the full text. No way was I going to pay them so I contacted one of the authors and kindly ask for a copy, which she sent without haste. I refuse to go into detail on this but will send a copy to Ozstoners. One part really opened my eyes and I quote.

6OZ Stoners: Charting the Rise of Australia's Premier Cannabis Community
Greetings, Stoners! The rich narrative of the Australian cannabis community, with OZ Stoners standing tall at its helm, is a blend of trials, tribulations, heartening comebacks, and the unwavering dedication of its members. Let’s delve deep into this riveting tale.
Geocities: The Digital Genesis
In the bustling digital streets of the late '90s, Yahoo Geocities stood out as a haven for burgeoning online communities. It was here, amidst this digital renaissance, that OZ Stoners planted its foundational roots. This marked the dawn of a space that would go on to become synonymous with Australian cannabis culture.
Navigating the Digital Tempests
On its journey, OZ Stoners faced formidable challenges. Between Yahoo's unpredictability and the unexpected anti-cannabis stance of titans like Meta, steering the ship required a blend of adaptability, tenacity, and foresight.
A Hiatus and the Phoenix's Ascent
Come 2022, OZ Stoners entered a period of unplanned dormancy, lasting a challenging 12 months. But, reminiscent of the legendary phoenix, this hiatus was transformed into an opportunity for rebirth. The platform underwent comprehensive upgrades, server enhancements, and a revitalising overhaul. As it emerged, it did so with a phoenix-like rise, soaring higher and brighter, dedicated to serving the community with even more zeal and purpose.
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.
As you engage with OZ Stoners, remember the sweat, tears, and dreams that built its legacy. Here’s to the cannabis community, the trailblazers of the past, and the promising horizons of the future. Cheers to shared stories and monumental growth ahead!
