I looked around and all the threads i found relating to questions were about growing, i figure we need one for the activists. What i think we need to do is start by covering all the bases. I see a lot of people answering the questions and problems as they come which is good but I think it would be really helpful if we could see a list of all the possible questions that the anti-smokers, or whoever else out there, might throw up laid out in front of us first and then go through them one-by-one. For example.... 1. Why should we legalise cannabis? 2. Who would this benefit? 3. What about the children? 4. What are the harmful effects? so what i would like people to do…

I'm new to the cannabis scene but do find it fascinating, not only as a substance but also the botany behind it and how you can have so many strains of the same plant by harvesting it differently. Just thought I'd ask you guys why you think its illegal? I mean I compare it to tobacco/alcohol that cause death, destruction, chaos in some cases and the fact that alcohol is scientifically linked to liver problems - not to mention lung, cancer and overall health problems tobacco causes (and is proven). Yet there are no studies of cannabis causing death, liver problems, its never been successfully linked to lung/cancer issues from what I've read and not only that it also has a …

This is the translation of a letter sent to the coffeeshop unions in the Netherlands, I am proud to translate this good news.... Dear folks, The big news today is that the new Tolerance Policy will become active from July 1, 2011, and will be valid until June 30 2015(!). The AHOJG criteria are already avaiable on www.openbaarministerie.nl The good news is not much is going to change. The most important conclusion is that the AHOJG crtieria have not been complemented with the Weedpass and the Distance Criteria. Nothing changes in this area. The announced additions will not be part of the national regulations for coffeeshops. This means that all the evil measureme…

Cannabis is often spoken of as ‘A Gateway Drug’, but always in the negative. Well, we are here to tell you that…… Cannabis can be a positive ‘gateway’. Not all gateways lead to destruction or abuse. To medical sufferers who gain great benefit from respectful medical cannabis application, Cannabis/THC is most definitely a gateway ‘drug’. 1) It is a gateway to most definite improvement in quality of life for sufferers. 2) It is a gateway to medical benefit - For seizure disorders, it is a gateway to seizure control. For muscle spasms and cramping, it is a gateway to alleviating spasms and cramping. For pain disorders, it is a gateway t…

Hey guys. I have seen previous threads saying lets start a group. I posted replies and I have send PM's and comments etc. to try get in contact with other people in WA who are actually interested in starting the revolution that this country needs.

‘HARK THE POLITICIANS SING’ - Cannabis/Prohibition Protest Parody of ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’. Hark the Politicians sing, “We’ve helped silence freedom’s ring.

Hark the politicians sing, “We’ve helped silence freedom’s ringâ€. “Our drugs are constantly adored, while we target you with fire and sword. We invade your home with immunity, while we legally get off our tre…

''HEATH'S DEAD'' - Cannabis protest parody of "Peace sells, but who's buying" - Megadeth. NOTE: Our Aussie boy, Heath Ledger, was first thought to have died from illicit drugs. Everyone kicked up a massive fuss, but when it was discovered that he'd joined the countless other 'legally dead' in the U.S. no one seemed to give a shit anymore. In response, I wrote this. What do you mean, I have to take your drugs? Your way's not the only way. What do you mean, your side effects are normal? Yet normality is thrust aside. What do you mean, my medicine's a crime? It's safer than what you do. And what do you mean by 'pay, and we'll fix your ills'? Nothing but a sick joke…

Gemeente mag wietpas aan laars lappen 11 Hours, 22 Minutes ago Volgens minister Opsteltens conceptbrief aan de Tweede Kamer over de wietpas, is het aan de burgemeesters of coffeeshops besloten clubs worden en toeristen moeten weren. Vrijdag bespreekt hij zijn plan in de ministerraad. Municipalities can ignore weedpass.... According to Minister Opstelten's concept letter to the Tweede Kamer (the official one, not the coffeeshop) about the Weedpass, it is up to the Mayors weather coffeeshops become members clubs and will refuse foreigners. He will discuss his plan in the Ministers Council on Friday.(today) This means nothing will change in Amsterdam, Haarlem, and…

Hi I'm a new member this is my first post Great site guys So my confusion is weather there is any distinction between hydro and natural cultivation in the NT. The NCPIC and others ( including posts here ) state that up to 2 non-hydroponic plants is a minor offense and $200. I have just read all of the NT Misuse of Drugs Act and regulations and there isn't even a mention of hydro, artificial cultivation etc. let alone define what is and what isn't. Am I missing something ? Is this covered by some other legislation besides this act ? I just want to grow some personal indoors so I don't want to get wacked as a dealer or anything like that. PS I read the SA Controlled Subs…

Hey all, I've logged onto this site nearly everyday for the past year but have only posted a couple of times. My name is.. well lets say......Larry and I've smoked weed for about 10 years and am pretty open about it with people i know. Its just every now and then you come across some stiff who thinks every dribble of that comes out of their mouth is truth. Nearly everytime the first thing they say is " mate thats the gateway drug ". If only they would realize that MARIJUANA is more like the gates padlock. 90% of people i know who smoke marijuana have no interest or need to progress to harder drugs. I have been around all sorts of drugs but have never felt the need…
