Even though this is American, it is still something to be supportive of. It's a parody commercial of the Budweiser frogs (explained below), but its a commercial put out by a pro-marijuana organization that wants to make it known that Alcohol is the real bad drug and marijuana is getting all the blame as being the gateway drug, when it is really alcohol and alcohol leads to agressive behaviour and fights whereas marijuana does not. Here is the commerical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlxUuBBJRjI And here is the website for the people that made the commercial, its pretty slick, pass it on to anyone you know that needs some convincing, especially any american friend…

The so-called ‘War on Drugs’ The following is a guest post by Alan Salt, Vice-President of the Hemp Embassy. 10 August 2008 Thoughts on Freedom Australian Libertarian Society Blog http://alsblog.wordpress.com/2008/08/09/th...d-war-on-drugs/ I’m the current Hemp Embassy Vice-President, a drug user of thirty eight years experience, who decided eighteen years ago to limit himself to cannabis and try no more new drugs, ever. I came to Nimbin in 1974 and initially lived as a shareholder at Tuntable Falls on the Co-Ordination Co-Operative, which taught me why we have private property. I also learnt about self-appointed, self-promoting “leaders” who thrust themselves before …

Here is a link to what Sandra Kanck has to say about the medicinal use of cannabis. Sandra Kanck - Speeches and Questions: Medical Marijuana (Controlled Substances (Palliative Use of Cannabis) Amd Bill I though this might be an interesting read for some. Being a medicinal user myself - the law gives me the shits to no end. If it wasn't for this plant I don't think I'd still be here. I'm glad some pollies aren't total retards.

The ideological, illogical war against cannabis By Sandra Kanck - posted Friday, 1 August 2008 ON LINE Opinion <http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=7706&page=0> I’ve introduced a bill which would allow fines to be waived for the personal cultivation and use of marijuana for people suffering designated medical conditions. This would be on the proviso that a medical practitioner has signed a palliative cannabis certificate, saying that the person is suffering from a specified illness or disease, the symptoms of which might be palliated by the smoking or consumption of cannabis or cannabis resin. Given that in South Australia cannabis is a contr…

I have read a great deal of bullshit here and elsewhere on the police "breaking down your door" for importing 5 seeds, etc. The police (in the higher echelons, at least) are not stupid. They know, as well as we do, that marijuana is not a criminal problem and act against it only to satisfy politicians and others who have no life of their own. I therefore find it very difficult to believe that anyone has ever actually been prosecuted in court for importing small (e.g., less than 50 or so) seeds. I say that it has never happened, at least within the last decade. Is there anyone out there who can tell me I am wrong? John

Hello everybody, I just moved to Australia from Czech Republic. I read a few of the posts and topics, but in general, my question is: what are the laws on Cannabis in NSW? On using, possession of cannabis, growing a plant etc. My friend told me its legal to have 1-2 plants at home for own use. So what is the truth ?

I am hoping someone has answers to my hell I am living in at the moment. My family is involved in what the fucking pigs called operation paneling that happened on the mid north coast if anyone sore the news. This happened in April their is about 20 people involved they say. It is commercial cultivation and supply, quantity around 130kg that is what the pigs say anyway, plus they raided houses, sheds and what ever they wanted to do. The crimes commission are involved so you can understand the shits they are in, even though the pigs are lying and making this look like this large organised criminal syndicate of cultivation and supply. We are in the middle of getting how ever…

Feature: Vested Interests of Prohibition I: The Police Drug War Chronicle - world’s leading drug policy newsletter Issue #542 11 July 2008 StoptheDrugWar.com Website at <http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/542/vested_interests_drug_prohibition_law_enforcement> Drug prohibition has been a fact of life in the United States for roughly a century now. While it was ostensibly designed to protect American citizens from the dangers of drug use, it now has a momentum of its own, independent of that original goal, at which it has failed spectacularly. As the prohibitionist response to drug use and sales deepened over the decades, then intensified even more with the bipart…

Two more milestones in the failed war on drugs Sandra Kanck MP 2 July 2008 http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=7576 For those interested in drug laws based on health rather than criminality, June 2008 saw the passing of two anniversaries of note, one at the South Australian level, and the other internationally. In June 2002, the South Australian Drug Summit was held, and the final communiqué recommended a heroin prescription trial and further consideration of the use of cannabis for medical and therapeutic purposes, recommendations which were strongly supported. Six years on, neither of these has happened and, as memories of the Summit recede, the likel…

http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7642 July 3, 2008 - Washington, DC, USA Washington, DC: The United State’s top federal anti-drug agency, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), turned 35-years-old this week, according to US Department of Justice press release. “The Drug Enforcement Administration was created 35 years ago on [July 1] by President Richard Nixon, who through an Executive Order established a single unified command to combat ‘an all-out global war on the drug menace,’” the DOJ release states. “At its outset, the DEA had 1,470 Special Agents, a budget of less than $75 million, and a presence in 31 countries.
