Cannabis Law and Politics

I don't know if any of you know about this site. But they basically have this thing where people e-mail them ideas, they put them up and people vote and comment. They have a legalise drugs one here pretty close to the top of the list. Whichever gets the most support they try and raise money to get an advertisement on the TV or in the newspaper. So I urge you to sign up over there and vote 'Hot' on this idea! http://www.getup.org.au/2020/idea.php?ideaID=180

Antwerp, March 2009 A RESEARCH INTO THE PARTICIPATION OF DRUG USER ORGANISATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF DRUG POLICIES ON A LOCAL AND EUROPEAN LEVEL Please find herewith the final report of a research on the participation of associations representing drug users in the design and implementation of policies that directly affect their lives: drug policies.

I only just came across this story Police in the Richmond local area command say they were surprised by the results of a recent crackdown on illicit drugs. Acting Superintendent Greg Moore says two tourists buses were pulled over near Nimbin late last week and more than half the passengers onboard were found to be carrying drugs. He says while 24 of those caught were issued with cautions, others were not so lucky. "Depends on the type of drug and the quantities involved," he said. "In the majority of cases last week people were entitled to cannabis cautions, but there were other drugs such as LSD, amphetamines and ecstasy also seized. "Those people with the ha…

This article by me appeared in Treating Yourself Magazine #13. It is my overview of my recent visit to Nimbin and being a cannabis activist in Australia. I hope you enjoy this. The Prism of Activism My name is Mark, and I am a cannabis activist living in Canberra, Australia. I am but one of many good folk in my homeland who have taken up the struggle to bring cannabis and hemp awareness to the World, and put an end to prohibition. Being a cannabis activist in Australia is an onerous task. It requires dedication, commitment and courage. The laws in Australia are still somewhat draconian, and the Federal Government still maintains a zero tolerance towards cannabis, b…

How accurate are new roadside drug tests? By Carolyn Tucker Lawyers are lining up to question the accuracy and purpose of new roadside drug tests, claiming there is insufficient scientific evidence to justify the government’s random approach. Launching the new roadside tests last week, Police Minister Judy Spence said there would be zero tolerance for those who climbed behind the wheel under the influence of marijuana, speed, ice or ecstasy. Ms Spence said those were caught would face fines of up to $1050 and lose their licence for up to nine months for a first offence. But some in the legal community, who prefer not to be named, suggested the new laws appeared …

I just wish to advise that I have found what I know to be the best drug, supplement, treatment, etc. that I have or will ever find in my life. As there are laws about what can be said regarding medicines, etc. I will refrain from advising that this stuff can cure cancer, AIDS, malaria, fungus, cold, influenza and such like. The results occur in hours not days after starting with this stuff. Moreover, as it cannot be patented and the ingredients can be purchased easily it is very, very inexpensive. I couldn't be bothered making it up myself so I purchase it for $14.50 which includes $5.00 postage. If you are at all interested I suggest that you Google “MMS Humble” and shou…

Hey all BJ Here again. As i posted some time ago with my dramas of getting busted growing and getting off with the great result of No Conviction Recorded, i now have another dilemma. Basically i am going for a computer job. I have a long history of working in computers and am currently shortlisted for a new job. The question on the forms asks me to disclose anything charges i have been found guilty of or had a conviction for in the past. I called QLD police and they said that my recent charges from last year of No Conviction Recorded for growing / posession etc will not show up as no conviction was recorded. However i have read conflicting information online a…
