Cannabis Law and Politics

Members of the Network Against Prohibition (NAP) have been outraged by revelations that hundreds of Territorians missed out on work because of past illicit drug use. The claims, by the Murdoch Sunday Territorian come days after an announcement that 65 people had been purged from the Australian Defence Force for the same reason, many from Robertson Barracks south of Darwin. ConocoPhillips, the company responsible for building the new Gas Plant at Wickham Point in Darwin harbour, told the Sunday Territorian that 40% of NT residents who applied for jobs on the project were rejected because of failed drug and alcohol tests. NAP spokesperson Gary Meyerhoff said “According …

THE STORY OF THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. THE MODERN AUSTRALIAN VERSION : The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grassho…

Hiya all! This is my first post here(I think!) A little story for ya'all... My partner has an arthritic condition, and spinal injuries sustained through her ex-husbands inability to control himself :angry: I put her onto 'erb about 3 years ago and after securing the right clone,she was able to function 200% better than before! Although the legal risks involved were too high, so she has discontinued treatment and has re-lapsed. This fool (ex-husband) grows copious amounts of 'commercial bud' for re-sale,we know this as he used to weigh up and sell in front of the kids....but doesn't contribute anything but hassles and threats to us and our 3 kids (not that we want …

I was just bored looking around and came across this site.Network against Prohibition. I reckon this shit is fucking wrong eh, they seem to think pot smokers and junkys are the same thing, Syringe Festival?? I think thats just fucked, a fucking diesease festival, and the poster for it with a bunch of junkys directing a syringe at a cop car, what are they trying to do there?? force cops to take drugs or give them aids/overdose, I dunno, who can understand a junkies mind. Maybe I sound like a christian right now, but I dont think a pot leaf should ever be seen next to a fucking syringe, I got nothing against opiates, thats your own business, but using syringes to take d…

Hey, Does anyone think Bob Carr will start his announced medical cannabis trial before he loses office? I suspect the Liberals/Nats will bury it if they get in next time.

Authors: Maddox, S; Williams, S Title: Cannabis-related experiences and rate of cultivation: would they change under a policy of decriminalization? Source: DRUGS-EDUCATION PREVENTION AND POLICY, 5 (1): 47-58 MAR 1998 KeyWords Plus: AUSTRALIA Abstract: It has been argued by many involved in the treatment and prevention of drug-related problems that policies of prohibition have been largely ineffective, that they produce a range of health, social and economic harms, and may well have contributed to an increase in the use of some illicit drugs. Policy makers in some countries are considering the adoption of strategies which aim to reduce harm without necessarily eli…

If I were to say get seeds sent from the UK or whereever and they were found by customs what happens? Do they just confiscate them or can the police prosecute you for something? If all they do is confiscate them, does anyone have any good sites with an option for extra fast shipping they can recommend? thanks

Alright, I was listening to the radio the other day, and they were discussing the best way to beat a Piss Test. This guy calls up and says that he works at one of those Urinalisys Labs, and he said that, "Niacin is the only thing that works on THC" I was still pretty skeptical about it, but until I talked to my friends about it, and they said that they've been using it for drug test too, and it always works for them. But anyway, I had already been smoking earlier that week, (we must have smoked about 6 bowls). So I ran to the health food store, and bought a bottle. I took 2 pills, and it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, my skin started turning red, and I had a …
