Cannabis Law and Politics

Hello together, here's some reflections about some aspects of the cannabis prohibition in America. I wrote another detailed essay about the role of media, but the whole essay takes over 20 pages- so I don't know where to post it. Anyways, here it is. Oh yea, by the way, my bibliography is screwed up and i have to rewrite it, but that's going to happen soon. Reasons for the cannabis prohibition today Cannabis politic in the USA (1930-1940) - Introduction - Did cannabis have to be eliminated due to its competitive role towards the uprising artificial fibre, paper and pharma industry? - The ”Marihuana Tax Act” ( 1935- 1937) - Conclusion Introduction: …

Just thought Id let people know about a 4 Corners special on Monday night 8.30 ABC, looks like more bad publicity about mental ilness and pot

Hi all, Anyone heard of ways to beat a drug test? Apart from staying of the smoke for a month that is. My mate has to get one soon but is a heavy smoker, hes prepared to quit and wait it out before the test but asked me if there was anything that blocks/masks the test. I thought it would be interesting to hear anyones ideas about what they have heard or are they impossible to beat? He can get a QML drug test for $25 so we have a test subject So fire away no matter how strange it might sound.

Hey people, I thought it might be interesting to see what wacky conspiracy theories people have heard. A friend (and chronic smoker) is always reading those "nexus"? magazines, anyway I was around at his place havin a sesh, when the news came on about Bin Laden's new tape, Nath started blowin his top saying that Bin Laden is just a puppet, and sept 11 was setup to provide a "platform" for "global control". It might have just been the c99 but I gotta tell ya what he was saying started to make a lot of sense. :yingyang

Today is International Drug Users Day, a day when users of currently illicit drugs reflect on the damage inflicted on their communities in the name of the war on drugs. All around the world, people who use illicit drugs are persecuted. The death penalty is still in place for drug offences in many countries. Pressured by the United States, many governments are adopting failed prohibitionist strategies in their bid to eradicate all illicit opium and coca production worldwide by 2008. The UN General Assembly made that pledge in Geneva in 1998. Immense resources are being devoured as nations do their bit to meet this stated goal. The United States Government is paying…

i cant believe the CDP (christian Democratic Party) they have to be the most dangerous political group in australia. There policies claim the greens are comunists, gay people are evil, youth should be controlled. They claim by making drugs MORE ILLIGAL that it will stop people using. They claim if your caught with a small amount of marijuna, a jail sentence is appropriate. They are a dangerous group of people , and i cant believe they exist, if anyone has any opinions on why these people have these policies i would like to hear it......

I was wondering if people out there really think dope will ever be legalized? The hope seems to be fed every so often by some politician, but never really gets any further. Not to mention that our "Brave New World" is a bit more inclined in restricting our freedom than improving it. I think the best we can hope for is a distracted police force and lenient judges.

These results are NOT final as they don't include postal, absentee etc votes. NSW Senate HEMP 19,159 primary votes (down .2%) QLD Senate HEMP 13,767 primary votes (down .55%) #2 preferences go to the Greens. Hopefully that will be enough to get them some senate seats!!!
