THE State Government would need to secure special federal clearance to import cannabis under its medical trial of the drug. Importing the drug from overseas is one option being considered ? along with growing the plants locally in high-security specialist research facilities. Other key aspects of the trial are also unresolved, including how much cannabis would cost and whether it would be subsidised under the pharmaceutical benefits scheme. The form of the cannabis is also up for expert debate and could include a spray, an "electronic bong" inhaler or tablets. Getting the drug into the country could prove difficult. The Federal Health Department is still unsure whet…

Hanging on the precipice of states' rights in the nation's drug war is a 58-year-old San Francisco author known as the "Ganja Guru." And there lying at the bottom is a shattered Lady Justice, with no middle ground in sight. Ed Rosenthal is no stranger to controversy. Over the years, he's authored several books about the benefits of marijuana use and has even testified before Congress about the need to re-evaluate federal laws that make growing or smoking marijuana a criminal offense. Now Rosenthal, who grew marijuana for medicinal purposes, could spend the rest of his life in prison. Yet he had the city of Oakland's blessing to grow the cannabis. He had the voters o…

medical Legalised cannabis will be prescribed to people suffering from chronic pain or wasting illnesses under a four-year trial to be run by the NSW Health Department. The State Government aims to introduce draft legislation to govern the trial during the current parliamentary sitting, with the trial to begin next year. It would include hundreds of people with cancer, HIV, severe or chronic pain, MS-related muscle spasticity, spinal cord injury or nausea caused by chemotherapy. The Government is yet to outline how the cannabis would be distributed to participants. Options include allowing them to grow a limited number of marijuana plants, but a spokesman for the Sp…

Shares in GW Pharmaceuticals Plc, a British firm pioneering cannabis-based medicines, hit an all-time high on Wednesday as Germany's Bayer AG acquired rights to its first product. The drugs and chemicals group will pay GW up to 25 million pounds ($41 million) for exclusive rights to market the drug in Britain, under the brand name Sativex. GW, which cultivates some 40,000 marijuana plants a year at a secret location in the English countryside, will also receive a significant share of sales. The cannabis-based drug Sativex is sprayed into the mouth rather than smoked and is expected to be launched in the UK later this year, initially as a pain relief treatment for mult…

If you can find the court pages for your state then it could go a long way to easing the paranoia of being busted, the actual sentences rarely match the law here in Tas. These sentences were copied from the Tas supreme court web page last year. R v ROBERT 18 JUNE 2002 COMMENTS ON PASSING SENTENCE CRAWFORD J Robert, you pleaded guilty to one count of selling a narcotic substance.

BBC Online Houses made from cannabis are far stronger and cheaper than conventional buildings, says South African innovator Andre du Plessis. He sees this as the solution to the housing problem in South Africa, where millions of people live in shanty towns. Since he started advocating the "dope houses", some South Africans have been joking that if one caught fire, people would run towards the burning building, rather than away. But Mr du Plessis told the BBC Network Africa programme that if one of the houses did catch fire, it would not give off any "class C or D noxious fumes". So he says people would have no reason to steal lumps out of the houses to smoke. …
