In recent months i have heard so many different things about the new laws in WA about marijuana. Everyone seems to have a different interpretation on the laws. I know that a fines and education system has been introduced, but what specifically does that mean. I know i still cant legally smoke weed, but what does it change if i get caught? -Peace

Hi! I´m a new member here and live in Oulu, Finland. Anyways, a few days ago I was offered a chance to go to Sydney to study for 9 months. Naturally the first thing what crossed my mind was the pot. So I have a few questions to you aussies, and I´ll be really grateful if somebody can give me the answers. First, are the drug laws in Sydney (southern Australia?) the same to foreigners than they are for local people? Second, what the laws are in practice? I know what they are theorically, but what do you get in real life if you get caught from use, posession or growing.. Third, what´s the public opinion about smoking? Can you smoke in public places, how elderly people …

i was just thinkin about making a bong outta labratory glasses. is it possible to make a hole by using a blow torch and using glass glue to cover the loose bits?? anyone try this? I've got the pipe, cone thingy together with metal pipes but i'm still confused about making the hole. any have any ideas??

after a more in depth victorian law writeup rather than the very vague caught with possession of 50 grams or less = $150 fine and blah blah blah. anyone know any links?

this is an interesting story i though id share with you all late last March myself, Psylence and another friend decided to go and have a quick bong in the gym changerooms at lunch. its the schools smoking spot, whether it be pot or ciggarettes (usually cigs), and students never get caught. in these changerooms there is one cubical, closed off from a urinal alongside it. you snap a load in the cubical, and if a teacher comes in, youre hidden, and hope they go away. so i took the first cone back, then psylence. when our other mate... let's call him Bob... went in to take his, a teacher walked in. now the bong was on the floor, and the place reeked of pot cos it was the…

Due to dismal dynamics of cannabis activism in Sydney, we are going to start to advertise for fresh blood to assist in future political activies. Coming up is the 1st anniversary of Bob Carr's statement in the Parliament on 20th May 2003 This is a perfect opportunity to give Bob some stick. So far we only have 2 protesters and myself. It would be nice if we could get some other patients or supporters could show up as well. If anyone out there can help, this is critical time. It's important to keep this issue fresh in the public's mind. It would also be a good chance to rubbish Bob's suggestion of importing a 'container' load of refined drug from Canada. Believe …

A magistrate admitted today that drug prohibition is the real cause of drug related harm in the Northern Territory of Australia. Wallace made the comments while sentencing a young man to a 28 day mandatory sentence for possession of Cannabis, Amphetamines and Ecstasy. While delivering sentence in Court 2 at Darwin Magistrate’s Court this morning, Wallace told the court that he accepted that the defendant had suffered “No physiological or psychological harm from his drug use.” He said that the only harm suffered by the defendant was due to his encounter with the criminal justice system. Yesterday, defence lawyer Alan Woodcock told the court that “Taking large amou…

An appeal has been lodged with the Local Government Review Tribunal however it is not expected that the appeal will be heard before Saturday.

Members of the Darwin based drug user organisation the Network Against Prohibition have invited everyone who is opposed to the presence of US troops in the Northern Territory (NT) to attend the 18th Community Smoke-in for Human Rights at high noon tomorrow in Darwin’s Raintree Park. The Community Smoke-ins are regular protest events where members of the community openly smoke cannabis in defiance of the NT Government’s ‘drug house’ legislation and the war on drugs in general. Network Against Prohibition (NAP) spokesperson Gary Meyerhoff said that one of the reasons the network oppose drug prohibition is because it is used by the United States to dictate foreign polic…

If the public understood the true history, causes and effects of the war on drugs and the international regime of drug prohibition, they would recognise the prohibition itself as the greatest organised crime on earth. Respectful law enforcement has been diminished by police involvement in the war on drugs. A special kind of divide and rule has resulted which separates police from drug users. This divide has adverse consequences for the police recruiting program. The drug prohibition adds to the social isolation of police and frequently results in the corruption of police officers. The war on drugs is a declared war and those captured in it are entitled to the protec…
