http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/letter-to-our-prime-minister-who-inhaled.jpg Dear Malcolm, why do the police get the last say in Australia on drug policy?Are they the drug experts? Don’t they have a conflict of interest seeing as half their work and a lot of their funding is fighting the drug war? It’s never been harder for a Cannabis user to mind their own business with new policing methods exposing us daily to persecution, and Cannabis is still in the same basket with all the other illegal drugs. Yet pot is so different. It’s simply a dried herb, unadulterated, while all the rest are processed and most of them chemicals. Cannabis is uniquely fa…

I know this article is about the US canna growing power struggles however I think it has real relevance to Australia and the current canna control model that is now underway. The subject of taxation and closed state border controls are very interesting too. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/10/willie-nelson-crusade-stop-big-pot.html?mid=facebook_nymag

Who really believes these politicians when they sincerely declare what they’re doing to allow the use of Cannabis for medical purposes? Who believed NSW Premier Bob Carr in the early 2000’s when he said,”It’s a Government’s duty to ensure medical Cannabis etc etc”? Or the more recent NSW and ACT Medical Cannabis Inquiries and their cross party committees who unanimously concurred medical Cannabis should be allowed? Or the Greens inspired Regulator of Medical Cannabis Bill which all agreed was a half hearted plan with no chance of ever getting up? Of course nothing came of the Inquiries and promises, the same situation has been repeated in other Sates and Territories. Now …

HEMP TO PROTEST SALIVA COPS ON MONDAY SEPT 28 LISMORE COURT HOUSEThe road to hell is paved with good intentions, says Nimbin’s HEMP Embassy, and trebling roadside drug testing as the main weapon in the NSW governments war on ice is just that. “Enough is enough and we invite everyone to join our protest outside Lismore Court House next Monday with some suggested ways of improving driver impairment testing because the current system is scarcely about that at all,”says Michael Balderstone, Embassy President. “Long term Cannabis users who have been driving safely for years are staying at home for fear of losing their licence,”he says. “Cannabis users across the state have bee…

From now until 24 August 2015, you can make submissions to An inquiry into measures introduced to restrict personal choice 'for the individual's own good'. I think it's the Senate Standing Economics References Committee that's doing this one (go figure). What is probably of most interest to people here, is that this committee wants to know what you think about: The economic and social impact of legislation, policies or Commonwealth guidelines, with particular reference to: c.the sale and use of marijuana and associated products, including any impact on the health, enjoyment and finances of users and non-users; and f.any other measures introduced to restrict personal c…

Hi guys for those that don't already know, Greens Senator Richard Di Natale will be introducing a medical cannabis bill to the parliment tomorrow. One thing he has made very clear to us is that many politicians are totally blind to the fact that cannabis has legitimate medical uses and for this bill to have any chance of passing people need to be contacting the,Senators, local members and other state and federal members of parliment letting them know cannabis DOES have legitimate medical uses and urging them to support this Bill. What can you do you ask.... One thing you can do is copy and email the letter below to all or any of the Senators from the link at the end…

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/strung-out.jpgThe death from cancer of a young man in his mid-20s is inescapably tragic. Dan Haslam discovered, like thousands before him, that using Cannabis was a way to control the by-products of his conventional cancer treatments including nausea, severe vomiting, weight loss, pain AND mental distress. The loss of a 3 children in that same week to seizure activity is no less tragic – especially when these deaths could have been prevented by the stroke of a pen on a statute. Hundreds of parents who have children with severe intractable epilepsy and who know about Cannabis, are staggered by the results they see a…
