Source: Victoria Times-Colonist While doing some research in the Netherlands recently, I was told a curious story by an Amsterdam city councillor. This councillor is also the owner of a "coffee shop" - a pub that sells marijuana - and so he often plays host to the foreign officials who constantly tour Holland and marvel at how the country's liberal justice policies have somehow managed to fail to spawn depravity, misery and chaos of biblical proportions. One day, he told me, he showed a foreign politician around his pleasant little shop. He pointed to the second floor and told the visitor he had another room upstairs. "That's where they inject hashish," he said wi…

:angry: Recently QLD is starting to X-Ray ALL international mail that enters the state. Is this a so called anti terrorist strategy or is it the start to Big Brothers wider agenda to invade and spy on its citizens ?

Just curious about the Holland's relaxed cannabis laws, I was just curious how does the Dutch police "police" stoned drivers like we and other countries "police" drink drivers??? Do they do "sober test" like walking/hopping on one foot, walking in straight line, etc... like how these damned Yankies test their shitfaced drivers?? Is there's some kind of "little machine" that test stoned driver's THC levels?? or they have to resort to blood/urine tests?? because I was thinking of these heavy cannabis users who may even have "high" THC levels even they are not stoned due their tolerence levels, so if the cops did a blood/urine test on a heavy user and they "reckon" he drov…

A JUDGE has overturned a magistrate's decision to dismiss drug possession charges against a man who was detected carrying drugs by a police sniffer dog. Local Court Magistrate Mary Jerram dismissed the charges after deciding Rocky the dog had conducted an illegal search when it detected the odour of drugs from 21-year-old Glen Darby's trouser pocket outside a Sydney nightclub in February last year. Mr Darby was arrested and charged with two counts of drug possession after police searched him and found he was carrying methylamphetamine and cannabis leaf. The Director of Public Prosecutions appealed the magistrate's ruling, with NSW Supreme Court Justice Barry O'Keef…

I dunno if this information useful.... but it will make me think again before I pack my herbs, as I often take average 4-6 domestic flights a year for the last couple of years, and never had a problem...... found this in ninemsn.com.au News. Domestic flight baggage to be x-rayed Moves were underway to ensure baggage on Qantas domestic flights were x-rayed, Prime Minister John Howard said. He said an announcement would soon be made on steps to remedy the lack of security checks on baggage stored in the hold of Qantas flights within Australia. "Some steps are underway at the present time to remedy that," Mr Howard told the Seven Network. "I can tell you that we'll…

Just a update on reply to possession question by Cheech - when I got busted for the little plant in Qld. 2 of the lovely hippocritical 'd's who laid down the law to me I caught up with later in local papers - One was killed after work driving with 2 female coppers pissed (in a D car) and the other one did 3 years for fraud (having his hand out)He wasn't that bad actually I felt a bit sorry for him. I can't speak ill of the dead so will say nothing about copper who died.

I'm going over to Melbourne on the boat from Tasmania soon and I want to get some weed across. Does anyone know if I'll be able to seal it up well enough to get past sniffer dogs? Has anyone made this journey themselves?

What are the penalties for just having enough weed on you to smoke when it is clear that there isn't enough for supply or dealing? I've heard that they just take it (probably to smoke themselves) and give you an unofficial warning. Can an arsehole cop give you a record for it? Is it safe to smoke in public places, or should I just smoke before going out?

George dubbya called Sadass Hussain to the whitehouse to try and sort a few things out. After the talks, Sadass said to Dubbya, "George, my son loves to watch Star Trek but only sees Asians, Negros,Russians and Americans onboard the Enterprise, My son is very sad, why are there no Arabs onboard? Dubbya leaned over to Sadass and explained that "Star Trek is in the future and the producers couldnt find any"
