Hey guys, was just wondering, with the internet censorship that the Labour party wants to bring in, will it block this site?? Also what about other marijuana sites such as growing sites, strain guides and forums? If Labour does get elected and this passes through the senate how will you bipass the filter to come onto this site???

Okay I have done a search but I still haven't found a satisfactory answer to the question: Can you get busted from using fairly high amounts of electricity from a hydro grow? I think we can figure it out if people answer the following questions (this is for indoor hydro growers). Please specify if your grow is not at a residential address and answer the following questions, as more people do so we shall be able to build up a picture. If you steal electricity from the grid, also please specify this, as this is likely to significantly effect the risks. (1) How many Watts approx do your lights consume? (2) What State do you live in? (3) Roughly how long have you be…

Dear We won! Late last night the Coalition announced it won't be voting for an internet filter that censors the web. This comes after the Government responded to our campaign by deferring the filter until 2012 (with the likelihood that the filter will never come back in its current form). With independent Senator Nick Xenophon, the Greens and now the Coalition all walking away from the ineffective policy of censoring the internet, there is now no way for the Senate to pass this scheme. This is your victory. Thank you! Check out what we did together -- and hear about the ongoing global fight here: http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet&id=1274 We've…

Did you know that drugs have been part of our culture since the 1960's?! Before that, it seems, there was no such thing as 'drugs'. According to Drug Free World this is a truism. Similarly, according to this crack-pot site, people only take drugs either to 'relax', 'experiment', 'fit in', or 'relieve boredom'. None mentions that we do what we do because it is fun and, in my case, insightful. Rather, according to the people over at the Drug Free World claim that ALL drugs work in the same way: "A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative (slows you down). An even larger amount poisons and can kill. This is true of any drug. On…

Dear Thank you for your email regarding an article in the Sydney Morning Herald on data retention. The Labor Government is consulting broadly with industry in relation to the continuing availability of telecommunications data for law enforcement and national security purposes before making a decision on introducing a data retention regime. The number of requests made for access to telecommunications data in the last reporting year demonstrates the value of this tool in the investigation of serious crime and security matters. The purpose of industry consultation was to initiate discussion on possible models. Consultations have developed a possible model whereby t…

Hi All, All this crap in my letter box, we must be having an election. But I've just recieved some from Family First party. BE AWARE, BE VERY AWARE. This party is Assembly Of God church. Now I've stated before " god and politics don't mix " But this lot are slimey. No where on their brochure is their affiliation with the church stated. None of their political banners state it and not many people actually know who they are. They are putting up candidates in each state. This is not good for anyone. Religion has …

G'day all, As Julya Gullard heads to the GG to call an election, can the people of Australia Drive change and a major voting swing to Free Hemp growing licences to recover an overused and abused Australia. Hemp for cheaper and greener energy, food, houses, roads and medicine. Australia needs to take over and lead the Green Way. NOW IT THE LAST OPPORTUNITY / TIME BEFORE 2012/13. You guys and girls of this forum don't need the lessons, the people of the public in Australia need to see the Green side of Marijuana. Green and growing is the same as forward facing heading in the right direction.... Hemp, like tomatoes isn't for everyone, but will benefit everyone. Use yo…

There are many forms, and many negative and destructive outcomes associated with the ways people have tried to deal with their phobia/s. More often than not, they choose to deal with it by destroying/ eradicating that which they fear, instead of learning to accept, understand and respect that which is 'different'/ 'foreign'/ 'unusual'/ 'strange' to them. Their irrational fear becomes tempered with their irrational hatred of the subject matter involved. If they are in a position of Power (i.e. Governments, Law Makers, Law Enforcers etc), then they usually not only teach their irrational fear/ phobia and their hatred to others, they write it into Policy, and set thei…

So I was doing some more reading on Dr Robert DuPont, former US drug czar and was astounded to read an interview with him which described his policy evolution when it comes to cannabis. When he first started with Nixon he was the head if NIDA and was pro-decriminilisation of cannabis, arguing any problems with it should be a health issue and not a criminal one. That was, until he received a letter from Ron and Marsha "Keith" Schuchard - two middle class American teachers who held a party for their 13-year old daughter, who they claimed had become "moody, indifferent and just wanted to hang out with her friends." At this party, the teens had alcohol and cannabis. As a re…

Hey I have been reading various threads on various "marijuana addiction" forums. I've been smoking pot for years, I am quite capable of consuming an entire ounce within a week. When I run out, I get mild craving for pot, a bit of boredom, slight headache, slightly upset feeling stomach, reduced appetite, lower sleep quality. But its mild and thats it. But many people claim many outrageous things about pot. It pisses me off, because these people almost seem to be brainwashed into believing they are victims. Many of them refer to the years they smoke pot, as not to years they smoked by choice, but years they were "addicted". They call themselves in "recovery". The…
