I know it is a rip off but I am pretty desperate, new in town etc etc So if I head down to the X and actually manage to score as opposed to being totally ripped off, and then I get busted by the cops with their dogs and I have a gram on me, what are the likely consequences. Bearing in mind I am a tourist (in London as a tourist you will be dealt with more lightly- however that probably isnt the case here). So what is likely to happen, and what is the worst case scenario? Could I get busted, arrested, deported??? Thanks for any info anyone has to share, especially if you have experience of being busted on the X Thanks

Hi All, It looks like the politicians are trying to toughen up Cannabis laws in Queensland. Inquiry into Addressing Cannabis Please read the Media Releaseand the Issue Paper which outline the topic. From the sound of the bias in those statements we need as may people as possible to Make a Submission. They even have a prepared Electronic Form to make the completion so easy even a stoner could do it. It would be good if as many Qld'ers here could make their opinions heard. Megalomaniac

March is time to vote for South Australians. and I just wanted to remind all the stoners out there about HEMP SA. They just got a new facebook page, here is a description on that page: Help End Marijuana Prohibition (H.E.M.P) SA is a political party based in South Australia commited to the legalisation of cannabis in its many forms, and for its many uses. This group is a show of support for the party, and the causes and values the party holds. Cannabis in its various forms is one of the most useful, naturally occurring substances in the world. It has been in use for thousands of years by humans, for all things ranging from clothes, to relaxation, to religion, to med…

Hey all. Sorry to post yet another tidbit - but it's my first day off work for ages, so I'm going nuts with it Thought I'd post here some of my fave quotes from notable people about cannabis. Feel free to add to the list! "Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany) "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing l…

Hey Guys, So I wrote a 1000+ word letter to Mr Rudd a couple of days ago regarding the correlation between the War on Drugs and Environmental Sustainability/Climate Change Action, and I was wondering whether anyone who has previously written to the PM would be able to give me an idea of the quality of his response, the time he took to make it, his attitude, or even if he bothered to respond.

I all I just read: Driver Drug Tests-Your PERSONAL experiences? I skim read so I don't know if i missed anything, so sorry if im asking what has already been dealth with If one is an weekend smoker how long will it take before you can safely drive without getting a reading? I'm from SA and the SA police website says that the test will only result in a positive if you have smoked in the last few hours but could last longer depending on metabolism, use, etc. If marijuana stays in your system for up to 30 days is there any chance one can still get caught, even though they are abiding by the rules? Is there any way you can prove you smoked 2 days ago? There is no wa…

Ruins the soil were it grows and does terrible things to the water in surrounding creeks and rivers . without an abundance of chemicals will not grow very well . hemp used for thousands of years with many uses outnumbering cotton . grows well without the use of chemicals or herbicides leaves the soil in better condition then before it was planted and has no negative effect on the land or water surrounding it . CHEMICAL companies supply billions of dollars worth of dangerous cancer causing substances to cotton fa…

Hi folks. Some of you may of heard of F.R.E.E. Australia party but for those who have not, its a political party that started up recently in South Australia. It came to prominence during the debate surrounding the Rann Governments so called "Anti Bikie Laws" or more accurately the "Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Bill 2007" This party is firmly against these laws and so far this issue is the main issue upon which F.R.E.E. Australia comments in the media. This party will be trying several members for the Legislative Council in the South Australian elections which are I believe next year some time. They also seem to be in the process of starting up chapters in othe…

so from nxt wk 'hydroponic shops'need to be licensed to sell certain types of equipment,anyone buying needs to show full ID and the shops are meant to send this info straight to the cops. hmmm seems a bit draconian to me,electrical wholesalers dont need to license,online sellers can do wot they want. i think its another case of election year politics lets blame all our woes on the hydro shops. so wots the choice,stock up on filters and lights now or drive to vic or risk the postal service.

Every debate in the media seem to always bring up the issue of mental illness in regards to cannabis. Its always portrayed as something having negative social effects. Especially among the young, teenagers, troubled people. My observation with Cannabis is that even in extreme cases the consequences of consuming cannabis are surprisingly benign- even in highly disturbed and volatile people. I believe many people incorrectly associate characteristics of disturbed and undesirable people that smoke cannabis (traits they would have anyway) with the effects of the cannabis. Like racism a rational discrimination develops. They blame the cannabis for the way people are, and rea…
