Cannabis Law and Politics

Hello, I sent an email to Council for Civil Liberties WA today, here it is. Hello, I just want to know exactly what your organisation does, lobbying etc. I am a member of www.ozstoners.com and I am interested in legalising personal cannabis consumption, and the growth of an outdoor only personal supply. What has your organisation done on this side of things? I know many people willing to pay the membership fee if you are really going to fight for our cause. Whatever information you need, I can provide. The current cannabis laws are a result of U.S. pressure, where as cannabis was a regularly prescribed medicine. 'Reefer madness' propaganda from the 50's shouldn't b…

Lets say I was to video me and my friends smoking weed and talking and then put it on youtube.. What is the likely thing that would happen?

if ya thinking of writing to someone for consent/approval to use cannabis for any reason then here are the people ya should be asking. taken from "the poisons standard amendment" “Appropriate authority†means: (a) in the Australian Capital Territory, ACT Health; (B} for the purpose of providing an exemption from all or part of sections 2 through 12 of this Standard by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, the Chief Executive Officer or their delegate; © in New South Wales, the Director-General of New South Wales Health; (d) in the Northern Territory, the Chief Health Officer of the Department of Health & Families; (e) in Queensland, the …

So I was just thinking about Cannabis legalisation (as I often am) and started to wonder if it would be better to promote the positive benefits of Marijuana use medically, and the overall bigger picture when it comes to Marijuana use through an advertising campaign. But this left a few questions lingering. Can you get in trouble for promoting Cannabis on a large scale? TV, Radio, Bilboards at train stations etc? I'm under the impression that it would be OK. I mean if its OK to advertise a treatment for premature ejaculation surely it would be OK to promote the positive outcome of legalising Cannabis? I'm thinking the more we can make it public knowledge, the more chan…

our politicians need a wake up call..

Hey all I was watching the 7PM Project the other night and they raised the subject of mental health Well as many of us use Cannabis to treat mental health illnesses, i thought it would be good to point it out to the 7PM Project... to try and reach the crew that havent got internet and to hopefully educate some ignorant peeps so if anyone would like to have their say....now is a time to do it. if you can add any doctors or psychologist or psychiatrist reports saying they recognize that ya use Cannabis for medicinal purposes, that would be bloody unreal - however i would black out any personal details that you want to keep private.......if you use any personal do…

Let the fun begin. Our new premier is a hardliner, he's never made any bones about it, I've never liked him and didn't vote for him ... but good on ya if you did. But didn't he also mention "more jails" and "zero tolerance" at some stage? so no more bongs for Victoria??? People are going to lose jobs and income. In my case, because I make my main income from other things than paraphernalia so the loss of income from bong prohibition going to roll off like water off a duck's back for me, but I know a couple of people whose main income is glass for smoking out of. Hookahs will stay legal? How is a hookah different to a bong? Culture? Aren't bongs cultural, too? Sigh. Fu…
