Cannabis Law and Politics

So how many people have actually died from smoking dope? I haven't heard of any 100% certain fatalities myself but one book I read alleged that Bruce Lee died from a rare allergic reaction. He was quite a dope fiend apparently. Him and his mate Steve McQueen who used to tear down Hollywood boulevard in his sports car. Bruce is quoted as saying that sitting in the passenger seat of that car was the scariest thing he ever did. Dope is incarcenogenic like Tobacco but I've never heard of any cancer cases. Millions die from the Governments favourite taxable legal drug so why dope hasn't been shown to cause similar effects on health beats the hell out of me. I'm sure the proh…

OK we have the reasons to legalise cannabis thread. Which I hope people will continue to add to. Now what reasons are there NOT to legalise cannabis? This is mainly from the point of view of the straight community, to prepare us for any arguments we may encounter, but there may even be some reasons that stoners don't want cannabis legalised either.

Waste Not; Want More. And Other Scholarly Words. Some time back – years ago; probably late 1980s, I homebrewed some wheat beer. I remember that this brew did not come from a pre-prepared can of ingredients that you mix with sugar-water and bottle. This stuff was made with hops that had to be boiled in a net-bag, with ingredients and procedures I have long since forgotten. Anyway, the time and effort paid off because I made about a hundred and twenty dollars worth of beer for twenty-something – using the old extra strength Australian owned Redback as the standard. I know I made more than two dozen long-necks because I hide some of these in a box, at the back of a dila…

As everyone here would know the only way we are going to get the canabis laws changed in australia is to change the fact that a majority of our population is ignorant. We can all sit around and tell the other people here(who in principle agree with our beliefs) but that isnt getting the message to people who otherwise wouldnt know it. i was just tossing the idea through my head then of a full page colour add in the big newspapers(courier mail, australian, sydney morning herrald etc) with information but then i realised i deffinatly wouldnt be the person to right it because so many people know the facts better then i do plus i wouldnt be able to afford it. thats wh…

This evening i began drafting a short letter to A Current Affair(yes i know its a ignorant show but a lot of people watch it I have tried to avoid the topic of legalization for recreational medicinal or high thc fiber crops(yes i am aware that high thc crops grow better) instead it is a request that they try and educate their audience that there is no reason to fear low THC hemp. yes i do know their is no reason to fear high thc hemp either but making the smaller step first would work better. plus make it slightly less likely to be ignored (damn ignorant tv people) id be very thankful if anyone has anything to add that they please tell me i shall be waiting atle…

I sometimes hear the words from polititions when talking about drug law reform to the tune of "the softening/decriminalisation of drugs would send the wrong message to the community". Does this mean that some laws are largely symbolic? This logic can be used to justify laws which are clearly ineffective, as are most laws against drugs. With this being the case it is then the responsibility of the police to determine the degree to which different laws are policed and enforced. So really, the policies/attitudes of the police are often more important than what the actual laws are in terms of how it effects the average citizen/victim. So what say does the public have…

Marijuana link to stabbing murders by Dr Right Monday July 10, 2006 at 09:09 AM HOMICIDE squad detectives are investigating whether a mix of marijuana and mental illness was a factor in four murders in the past month Two young men and a couple who left behind a young child were the victims of fatal stabbings in the space of nine days.

Guess which one of us had a cone before this meeting? I had reason to be at the launch of Poverty Week in NSW at Parliament House - didn't get the chance to raise my favourite topic as I glad-handled the Premier, I was representing another group but I certainly decided to mellow out before I left home.
