I think someone mentioned this before on the forums, perhaps in the Cousins thread, but I thought I'd post it here for individual discussion, cos I think it definitely warrants it... Video of Alan Jones from 2GB - click here to play, approx 40mb.... I'm just dumbstruck. He takes the pussies way out and says "John Howard is right, drugs are evil" at one point, and never claims the arguments as one he holds, but it's a start... all we need is a few more right wingers to come out with some sensible discussion on drug law reform and you can get a ball rolling. What do you think?

Well the Federal election has finally been called - November 24th 2007. If you are not enrolled to vote you have until Wednesday night 8pm (17th October) to get yourself enrolled. Who are you guys voting for and why? To kick it off - I'm voting Green. They have intelligent policies, and they're all available on their website year round to read - the other parties hide their policies, or radically change them with each election cycle. In particular the Greens have a sensible position on illicit drugs. They were forced to temper their position at the last Federal election, so explicit legalisation of cannabis has unfortunately taken a back seat - but the State bas…

Let's be clear- the government isn't opposed to people using drugs. However, you have to use the drug that is controlled and taxed, and the one which is responsible for more violence, motor accidents and drug abuse related illness than any other. Just what we need, a pub on every streetcorner. How about some more drive-through liquor stores? Kerb service with coldies! Chicks on rollerskates delivering jugs of draught. Hell, put a keg on every right turn lane and get those homeless windscreen washers into the taxable system, making excise revenue. Keep in mind that this is the same government which so believes its own propaganda as to pass laws based in zero-tolera…

Hello All Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the 'current' penalty for plants under lights in WA? Numbers and weights of shit would be good too. I have looked on several sites but no success. Thanks

Just saw this most interesting article on the repeal of alcohol prohibition in the 20's/30's on Reason Magazines blog, and thought I'd post it here. It makes some interesting points and I wonder what the rest of you guys think of it? Source: Reason Magazine Blog Hit and Run - Link to Reason Blog

What ever happen to a slap on the wrist for a couple of plants?. I'm starting to get worried. I thought if ever I was caught, I wouldn't go to Gaol. They just decreased the Less then Commerial Quantitiy from 250 plants to 49. I thought if I was well below the 49 limit I wouldn't go to Gaol. But according to this table when the limit was 250, people have been sent for a row for alot less then 250?. http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/pdo/...tlesscommercial

Hi all. Congrats on the new board I just recently purchased a book from amazon.com called Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts; A Review of the Scientific Evidence by Lynn Zimmer PH.D. and John P Morgan M.D. It's a fantastic read, with endorsements from many directions; Journal of the American Medical Association, British Medical Journal, Science magazine, and National Review just to name a few. I'd love to dump a copy in the lap of every politition in this country. It's quite depressing really, the overwhelming body of scientific evidence from the last 30 years leads to the conclusion that there is very little harm done by even moderate use. Prohibition is a ridiculous i…

http://newsbreak.com.au/related/a891159 ONE of the Prime Minister's close confidants has challenged politicians to set an example to the sporting and wider community and submit to random drug testing. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander," Senator Bill Heffernan said yesterday. "If it is good enough for us to push footy heroes, what about us?" I agree "If there's evidence that, you know, there's a problem with politicians then they should be treated no different from anybody else," Mr Howard told the Ten Network. What happened to Use=Abuse. Just bcause they, like the majority, do not have problems associated with drug use, does not mean that they should b…

Thought you all might be interested in this.... Love and a squish, Alison xx Cosmos http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/node/1442 Medical marijuana Issue 10 of Cosmos, August 2006 by Elizabeth Finkel "He reported success in treating rheumatism, and noted that cannabis was a great anti-vomiting agent." Cannabis use has a 4,000-year medical history, dating back to the early Chinese and Indian civilisations. In the early 1840s, William O'Shaughnessy, of the East India Trading Company, described experiments giving cannabis tinctures to patients suffering rheumatism, tetanus, rabies, infantile convulsions, cholera and delirium tremens – condit…
