Cannabis Law and Politics

Hi all Just wondering whos going to the HHI Expo this year? I noticed the Australian Cannabis Community (oz stoners) have a spot on the exhibitors list but I havent seen it plugged anywhere? Looks to be some exciting speakers on Medical Cannabis as well as some great exhibits. Could be a great chance for some show specials (fingers crossed).....

HEMP Party secretary Andrew Kavasilas is calling for fresh thinking on the subject. “I believe the Australian government is being dragged kicking …

I have no questions at moment since most have already been asked (but not answered) but i will s…

Hey everyone! As we all know roadside drug testing is just trojan horse zero tolerance drug policy under the guise of road safety so as to garner public support for the harrasment of cannabis and other drug users. Every state and territory now uses some form of drug testing for road users and between them all there is little consensus as to how long we should be waiting before driving again. Which would be info that might actually help improve road safety. So, in acknowledgement of this cluster fuck that is drug testing I thought I'd get the ball rolling here to look at how long it takes for cannabis metabolites to stop showing positive by collating the communities …

I'm interested in starting a movement to let the Govt know exactly what we think of their pathetic new laws on medical Canna and tell them exactly what we want, that we are adults capable of making informed decisions on this matter and to stop treating us with contempt. I firmly believe if we stand up together, en masse, across the country. We can make positive change, the science has already been proven, most people know it is a medicine, all we need is to get the attention of politicians buy appealing to the one thing they are really interest in, votes. All we need is to get together, we have the numbers! If we can just get all interested in the future of Canna…
