Medicines are "protected items" under the geneva conventions and withholding necessary pain medicines from civilians in a time of war is called cruel treatment and enforced under australian law under Chapter 8 Division 268 of the criminal Code.

I believe this may be one of the first recording of the prohibition of Cannabis. It's quite interesting and funny (in a sad, sad way). http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/histor.../willoughby.htm You can see the pattern coming up already in the statistics they have, although I wouldn't regard much of it as true, take a look. Use (or seizing, but probably use) goes down for the first 4 years and then swiftly goes back up again much quicker. It is also interesting that they predicted that "one of the greatest difficulties with regard to control of its production arose out of the fact that the plant from which the drug is obtained grows wild and that the drug itself is de…

http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/news/may...-marijuana-ends Very interesting. And yes we do have it here in Australia. If you ever get on the jury for a Cannabis case, make sure to persuade all the jurors to use jury nullification. Just don't let the prosecutors know that you know about it or you won't get on the jury

Howdy I thought this might interest some of you. In parliament a few days ago, Luke Simpkins MP made the most remarkable speech out of the blue. It was in reference to the article in The Age titled 'Labor softens heroin stance as it splits from US policy'. Although Simpkins spoke about drug policy in general you may be interested to note that he considers cannabis as dangerous and addictive as heroin. This means that he considers regular cannabis smokers are addicts and should have their children permanently removed as well as other bizarre strategies. I wrote more about it here.

If weed was made legal and alcohol was made illegal..... then there would be no more drunken violence, binge drinking etc in our streets! Thats my opinion anyway What do you think, for discussions sake if this was to really happen?? Do you think it would solve or create more problems?? Also, if all current laws stayed the same but weed was legalized do you think binge drinking would decrease?

Here we are with another year of opposition to cannabis and how cannabis is safe? It is the big money factor that has brought out fear such as bill C-15. As we see it this Bill is bad for Canada and the legally qualified cannabis users who live here! Jason goes off in this video without flinching from the camera and speaking from the heart you can see the passion for what we do here at Cannabis in Canada. Jason has gone off before like this when logic fails to meet reason in his view. This said admitting Jason breaching the MMAR for he feels it is wrong has been done before on this channel thus Jason has again challenged the MMAR in relation to transportin…
