I love what is going on in California but i hate how even medical marijuana is not a political issue in this country. With the Greens and independents negotiating power, it would be great if somebody raised marijuana as an issue, but in Australia its not even on the radar, except when its being mentioned as a "dangerous substance" and increase in penalties needed. Do Australians not love Marijuana as much as Californians? At this rate Australia will be lucky to have strictly controlled medical marijuana within 20 years (that means you can't get it unless you have select severe illnesses and have tried other medicines etc, if you take it for anxiety or depression don…

Seems the best bet to form an Australia wide group is to incorporate an Association in one state then submit to become a registered body so it can operate Australia wide. Each state has its own fee structure for this. (these fees are just for the incorporation, not including the registration as a national body) QLD $117.00 QLD fees NSW $109.00 NSW fees ACT $142.00 ACT fees VIC $58.50 (if we use the model rules), $116.90 (own rules) Vic Fees TAS $133 TAS fees NT $65 NT fees SA $156 SA fees WA $126.00 WA fees OR ALTERNATIVELY We could approach one of the groups that already exists and either work with them to increase the awaren…

I tried a quick search for this but couldnt come up with much. What is the saliva test they use? I hear it can detect use between 4 and 14 hours after use. Anyways, it seems like a good idea to be prepared for these tests. As I dont smoke before/during work, and these saliva tests can show up from the night before, as far as I'm concerned its better safe than sorry. That I am currently looking at to keep in the car, because I drive lots for work, is a mouthwash (single use bottle) that I can keep in the car. This is for use if I think I am getting pulled over, or see a drug bus up the road and have smoked earlier that day or the night before. One I have been looking at …

I'm really interested to know if anyone can clarify what exactly your rights are if the cops pull you over and then ask to search your car. I found this online, but it doesn't quite answer my query. I was under the impression that the cops had to have "reasonable" grounds to search your car. Is this true or not? For example, if you are pulled over for speeding, unlicenced driving, wrong rego etc, is this "reasonable" cause for them to search your car?? Any other advice on what to do when you are pulled over would also be appreciated.. http://public.findlaw.com/traffic-ticket-violation-law/traffic-stop-searches/traffic-stop-do-list.html
