Cannabis Law and Politics

Here is a proforma that will hopefully be hitting some circles in the medical community in the coming months. Take a copy, change/add to it if you want, and hit up your Doc and see what they say.

2007 national labor platform and constitution http://www.alp.org.au/download/2007_national_platform.pdf Chapter 12 is the one that we would be interested in, which can be found on this page http://www.alp.org.au/platform/chapter_12.php Here are my thoughts on a few of them. <1> Labor believes that a fundamental objective of government is to work with the community to provide greater security for all Australians and their families. To achieve this, the objectives of the criminal law should be to: * prevent crime; * protect the personal safety and property of all Australians; ---------- OK, decriminalize drugs and regulate them and give proper supp…

Hey M8's, I've been looking at this guy over the last few days and I think I want to marry him. OK he's a U.S. guy and all that but he's in the running for the top job in next years election. Here's his policy on drugs: http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Ron_Paul_Drugs.htm Also, there's tons of GREAT clips on you tube featuring this guy and despite the fact that he's going against the corrupt politics of the U.S. he's gaining a LOT of popularity, check him out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GX-bPyPBlY I wonder how a party based on those principles would go here? Popularity-wise I mean.

www.ldp.org.au The liberty and democracy party is the only libertarian party for the federal election. They believe in small government and individual liberty. Their entire philosophy can be summed up like so: Give people freedom and let them live their own lives and they'll be happy. The role of government should be to stop others from interfering with your life, liberty and property, and make sure you don't interfere with their rights.

Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the online petition: "Block Extradition of Emery", hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/Emery/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself. Best wishes, moKing

copyright 2003 George Grass rev. 2004 SEEDLESS MARIJUANA The hoax I think there was and is a scheme to weaken the potency of drug-type marijuna with the help of decoys who would spread misinformation about cultivation, flowering, THC, and even the botany of marijuana. My assertion that the potency of indoor seedless marijuana and clones has more of a placebo effect than the real thing flies in the face of the propaganda put out by the Narcs that this marijuana is more powerful and psychoactive than any other marijuana grown in the World. The gap between reality and propaganda is thought to have begun in the latter half of the 1970's when the Narcs decided someth…

Source: www.news.com.au sounds like the politicians are trying to make the greens look bad because they'll have the balance of power in the senate which will make them able to stop any bullshit laws from getting passed one can only hope that the greens prevail, end up with the balance of power and in turn decriminalize marijuana

Well the Federal election has finally been called - November 24th 2007. If you are not enrolled to vote you have until Wednesday night 8pm (17th October) to get yourself enrolled. Who are you guys voting for and why? To kick it off - I'm voting Green. They have intelligent policies, and they're all available on their website year round to read - the other parties hide their policies, or radically change them with each election cycle. In particular the Greens have a sensible position on illicit drugs. They were forced to temper their position at the last Federal election, so explicit legalisation of cannabis has unfortunately taken a back seat - but the State bas…

Let's be clear- the government isn't opposed to people using drugs. However, you have to use the drug that is controlled and taxed, and the one which is responsible for more violence, motor accidents and drug abuse related illness than any other. Just what we need, a pub on every streetcorner. How about some more drive-through liquor stores? Kerb service with coldies! Chicks on rollerskates delivering jugs of draught. Hell, put a keg on every right turn lane and get those homeless windscreen washers into the taxable system, making excise revenue. Keep in mind that this is the same government which so believes its own propaganda as to pass laws based in zero-tolera…

Very disturbing news... http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6209337.html As I said, very disturbing.
