We now have conservative independents jumping on the bandwagon and the National Party abandoning its own policy platform to avoid the "soft-on-drugs" tag. The mainstream media, who only a short time ago were supportiv…

Toronto Star May. 10, 2003. 10:28 AM Ottawa backs off pot law plans Possession to stay criminal offence Changes come after U.S. outcry TONDA MACCHARLES OTTAWA BUREAU OTTAWA— The federal government has backed off plans to make pot possession a mere ticketing offence, the Star has learned. Instead, sources say the Liberal government will keep simple possession of marijuana on the books as a criminal offence under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The new plan came days after U.S. officials warned that any easing of Canada's marijuana laws could lead to a crackdown at border crossings. The government will provide "alternative" civil penalties — fines, …

quote from an article i was reading about SA: "Marijuana is still an illicit substance in South Australia even though it was widely "decriminalised" for personal use by the Labour Government in 1987. That government brought in an expiation fine system where simple possession of small quantities enabled the police to give you a fine and no criminal record - rather like a parking fine. This "decriminalisation" of cannabis has served to stop the crowding of courts of stoned offenders of a victimless crime and makes an important distinction between personal use and dealing." I think this maybe the approach to take for initating the legalisation of cannabis? crawl before …

Well pipeman, smart choise!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,...,947688,00.html Cannabis 'could kill 30,000 a year' James Meikle, health correspondent Friday May 2, 2003 The Guardian Thirty thousand Britons a year might eventually die from cannabis smoking, doctors claimed last night. They called for a battle against the drug to mirror that belatedly waged against tobacco, saying that it too could soon pose a major public health hazard. Their warning, made in an editorial in the British Medical Journal, is the most high-profile attempt yet to alert authorities to public health difficulties that might result from an apparently more liberal attitude to the drug. The authors,…

Apr. 30, 2003. 08:49 AM Chrétien ready to ease pot possession law Applause greets promise to youth 'We're not legalizing it' ANDREW CHUNG OTTAWA BUREAU OTTAWA — Calling his government "activist" and "not afraid to take on controversial issues," Prime Minister Jean Chrétien cast a nod at youth last night and vowed that marijuana would soon be decriminalized. It was the first public pronouncement from Chrétien that possessing small quantities of marijuana would be decriminalized in Canada. "We will soon introduce legislation to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana," he told a Liberal party fundraiser. Amid applause, he quipped, "Don't start to…

generally, if your gonna be concerned about having your machine turned into a zombie or sumthin nasty happening then you should worried only if you have a broadband connection, 56k dialups aren't usually bothered with any more as its far easier to crack broadband connections these days, they offer much better/faster access to your computer and net etc... you must have a firewall if you have broadband... look into using linux if your technical and paranoid minded... I can offer limited linux advice ( I don't use it but know alot about it)... look into a "port monitor" or port sentry or port sniffer...something that monitors port scans/ connections/ requests etc.... as…

Although I've been tokin' for as long as I can remember(which isn't usually too far back), I'm still a newb when it comes to growing, making hash, and all that good stuff. That being said, I figured I could help a few people in this area of the site, as this is one area that I'm not a newb. Outside of the firewalls and Anti-viruses that everyone should have on your computer, another good security feature to have handy is the proxy. This is what I call preventative defense. A firewall's great if someone is trying to infiltrate your computer, but if information can get out it can get in and so can an attacker. So in comes the proxy... If you can't find a computer, i…
