What ever happen to a slap on the wrist for a couple of plants?. I'm starting to get worried. I thought if ever I was caught, I wouldn't go to Gaol. They just decreased the Less then Commerial Quantitiy from 250 plants to 49. I thought if I was well below the 49 limit I wouldn't go to Gaol. But according to this table when the limit was 250, people have been sent for a row for alot less then 250?. http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/pdo/...tlesscommercial

Hi all. Congrats on the new board I just recently purchased a book from amazon.com called Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts; A Review of the Scientific Evidence by Lynn Zimmer PH.D. and John P Morgan M.D. It's a fantastic read, with endorsements from many directions; Journal of the American Medical Association, British Medical Journal, Science magazine, and National Review just to name a few. I'd love to dump a copy in the lap of every politition in this country. It's quite depressing really, the overwhelming body of scientific evidence from the last 30 years leads to the conclusion that there is very little harm done by even moderate use. Prohibition is a ridiculous i…

http://newsbreak.com.au/related/a891159 ONE of the Prime Minister's close confidants has challenged politicians to set an example to the sporting and wider community and submit to random drug testing. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander," Senator Bill Heffernan said yesterday. "If it is good enough for us to push footy heroes, what about us?" I agree "If there's evidence that, you know, there's a problem with politicians then they should be treated no different from anybody else," Mr Howard told the Ten Network. What happened to Use=Abuse. Just bcause they, like the majority, do not have problems associated with drug use, does not mean that they should b…

News Ltd is the biggest offender when it comes to zero-tolerance drug-warrior slanted news stories. This has to be the biggest shit smear I've seen on a newspaper not yet in a birdcage: The folks in those big seedbanks in the Netherlands would like some of that super-cannabis that the 'Vietnamese crime gangs' are keeping all to themselves... and as IF anyone would need to travel to Canada to learn how to grow weed indoors, year-round. Do you like the tie-up of cannabis with heroin? After all, those Vietnamese crime gangs are big on the smack too... Author Keith is a totally racist Moor-on. ferfuxsake. However, a disturbing trend is going on over at the…

You've probably all seen the papers this week with all the fuss about alcoholism, violence and unemployment in Aboriginal communities, as usual the PM is soap boxing about saving children etc... Well the solution is quite simple really. Here's an easy way to solve Aboriginal unemployment, violence and alcohol abuse all in one brilliant sweep. Ban alcohol for a start, good, but don't leave them empty handed...Get them growing commercial quantities of cannabis. This would provide huge amounts of income and jobs for the communities seeing that Australians love their herb. Obviously this would include recreational (smoking) cannabis, medicinal cannabis and of course cannabis …

Tip-off sparked school nude drug tests Anti-doping officials have defended drug testing schoolboy rowers in the nude, saying it is a common procedure and the regatta was raided after a tip-off from an insider. The private schoolboys, from Newington College and Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore), gave samples to Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority officials at an inter-school regatta on March 17. Under the international drug-testing standard, the boys had to pull their shirts up to their chests and drop their pants in the presence of a chaperone from the authority. The incident reportedly angered some GPS principals, who refused to provide ASADA t…

Hi all Aussie cannabis lovers, Well I haven't started a thread yet, and I hadn't seen this topic specifically listed so.... tell me all the reasons you think cannabis is illegal. From health/policitical/manufacturing/conspiracy angles. All is good. Let me get the list started: - government really cares about our health and thinks that it is another harmful substance that it needs to protect us from (I know this is BS propoganda -> but get the bad out of the road first); - cannabis as a plant cannot be patented and having a multitude of medical uses (which have been largely suppressed) poses a threat to pharmeceutical industries. Why? - grow your medicine in the b…

ALCOHOL AND CANNABIS: THE MIX by Paul Dillon .... SSOnet.com.au Over the years this column has tended to concentrate on those drugs often linked to the nightclub/ dance party scene. Ecstasy, crystal and GHB attract most of the headlines and we often warn about mixing drugs for, although many people believe that mixing can enhance the effects, we know the risks are also increased when drugs are used in combination, i.e. polydrug use. Not including tobacco, the most common pattern of polydrug use in Australia is among people who mix cannabis and alcohol. People who mix cannabis and alcohol say they do it to get more “out of it”, or that they use the second drug to…

This may have been posted before, but oh well Little background... I'm a noob smoker, only started recreational use a few months back (I'm 19). I was totally against marijuana use all the way up until a few months ago until a mate of mine slowly convinced me that it's mostly just propaganda. He pointed me to some websites (erowid, norml etc), I checked them out, had a look at some of the references and I was sold. So now I'm in the same vote as most of you on here thinking whytfh is it illegal at all? I've been checking out a lot of forums, blogs and other sites around the issue of legalisation. People seem to be doing some things to push the subject, but I get …
