Paranoia! Even the word strikes delusional fear in the hearts and minds of some individuals and collectives. So, what is Paranoia? - Logically speaking, Paranoia is a form of illogical fear and dread, stemming from ungrounded/ irrational/ illogical and unreasonable emotional states and mindsets. But, there are two sides to every coin when it comes to fear - the other side is logical, reasonable, rational and grounded fear. ‘Fear’ is defined as (from Goth. ‘ferja’ meaning ‘pursuer’ to O.E. ‘danger, fear’) an “emotion, state of mind, caused by a sense of impending danger, misfortune, pain etc; terror, dreadâ€. This emotion/state of mind can be caused…

(Parody of 'Imagine' - John Lennon) IMAGINE no Prohibition, It’s easy if you try. No more living in fear, and trying to understand why. Imagine all of our people, living as one human race. Imagine Universal Tolerance. And respect being shown across the world. No one being suppressed and hated, and no more tolerance flags unfurled. Imagine all of our people living together in Peace. Yoo-ou-ou-ou, You may say I’m bloody dreamin’, but I know I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us, in just living free under the sun. Imagine no discrimination. I wonder if you can. No more biased and racist attitudes, being unleashed as a Master plan. Imagine all…

So, a few weeks ago I signed up to this "Stop the war on drugs" petition I saw on twitter. Expected nothing to come of it. Then today, I checked my email (something I NEVER do) and found this: (I just hope it's true)

Ros Philips of Family Voice Australia is calling for a TV advertising campaign and specialised Cannabis rehab services to help Australians quit cannabis. "Right now we are seeing a very effective TV campaign encouraging tobacco smokers to quit. But there is nothing to encourage cannabis or marijuana smokers to do the same, despite mounting evidence of the damage it does to the physical and mental health". Nothing to encourage/ brutally force cannabis consumers to give up their choice? Really? What about No Tolerance Against Cannabis Campaigns, which consist of persecution, harrassment, slander, vilification, discrimination, false imprisonment, home invasions, …

Tagged with: Conservatives Federal Government Mandatory Minimums Marijuana Law Enforcement Marijuana Laws Stephen Harperhttp://www.cannabisnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/news_canadian-flag.jpgPrime Minister Stephen Harper is getting tougher on pot growers than he is on rapists of children. Under the Tories’ omnibus crime legislation tabled Tuesday, a person growing 201 pot plants in a rental unit would receive a longer mandatory sentence than someone who rapes a toddler or forces a five-year-old to have sex with an animal. Producing six to 200 pot plants nets an automatic six-month sentence, with an extra three months if it’s done in a rental or …

Hey guys, I just done a cannabis survey, it's just really sadden me that some of the facts they put on are really just FALSE !!!, I personally don't think they even go and research science and benefits that cannabis can bring, instead they just ask about all the bad things about cannabis and the new WA laws, overall everything are just over-exaggerated, especially the 5.7x times to cause cancer one. Australia is really falling behind. In other countries, they are pushing and working very hard to free the world. Take care everyone.

Two employees of a private security firm called G4S have been fired after attaching an electronic monitor to a man’s prosthetic leg. The firm, which claims to be “the world’s leading international security solutions group,†places tens of thousands of ankle bracelet monitors on offenders each year on behalf of Brittan’s Ministry of Justice. However, 29-year-old Christopher Lowcock, who was to be monitored for a court-imposed curfew due to drug and weapon charges, fooled them. Lowcock got G4S employees to attach his electronic monitor to the ankle of his false leg. This, of course, allowed him to remove the limb, leave it behind, and break curfew without alerti…

Barnett goes for a new War on Drugs with Cannabis laws in Western Australia. Well the genius at the helm of the Western Australian parliament has come up with a grand idea. Let's increase penalties for cannabis possession, use and cultivation, as well as distribution of smoking implements to minors, by a full order of magnitude shall we? So a $200 fine for possession of 30gm now turns into a $2000 fine and potentially 2yrs gaol for posession of anything over 10gm. Just read the following story to see the crazy at work. WTF are these guys smoking to think this is anything like a good idea and that it would have anything but devestating consequences for the vast m…

"ANY TIME THAT THEY LIKE" - (Cannabis Parody: ‘In the middle of the night’ - Billy Joel) Any time that they like, They smash bottles in my street. Spreading violence and fear, While on others they beat. Drug abuse is now legal, An ever climbing cost. And families regularly mourn, The loved ones that they’ve lost. Even though the abuse is rife And our home gets trashed from city to shore, To try to excuse their ‘revellers’ crimes, Upon another’s choice they wage uncivil war. In the middle of the night, I get woken from my sleep. By fighting and screams, From people in too deep. But when we al…

For many decades now legal drug supremacists and anti-drug collectives have worked together to brand the cannabis genus as ‘the gateway to all drug taking’. In the name of targeting/persecuting this so-called ‘gateway’ and other heretical drug choices classed as ‘illicit,’ these bigots, hypocrites and other holier-than-thou collectives created a Gateway to Hell that they continually hold wide open for their fellow human beings, as well as the other genera on this Planet. Let’s look at this simply: Just like in the time of Ethanol Drug Prohibition, Selective Drug Prohibition is a massive Gateway. It’s a gateway to legalized corruption. .Itâ…
