I was just doing some reading on Scientology, and was interested to read that the Foundation for a Drug Free world (www.drugfreeworld.org) is actually a front body for the church. Scientology's opposition to drugs is pretty well-known, so I'm not overly surprised by it, although the site does peddle in plenty of lies (like the first line, that reads Drugs have been a part of our culture since the middle of last century). ughh Given many, if not all, of the directors of Drug Free Australia (www.drugfree.org.au) list religious organisations in their profiles (and given I'm sure there's a million other similar anti-drug websites run by religious organisations out there), …

Well I have never been to prison, the most I have ever done was time in lockup for the weekend about 12 years ago after a drunken rampage (back in my days of ignorance, when I drunk instead of used the herb). But it must SUCK in prison... One of the big problems- besides general hostilities- must be a lack of stimulation and boredom. I honestly believed if they allowed *most* prisoners (not prisonerss with psychotic disorders or who are excessively paranoid or accusatory) to consume marijuana in their cells in exchange for good behavior and compliance, I honestly believe you'd see a significant reduction in violence in prison. Marijuana while not a magic cure for ps…

I really hate the negative opinion some people have about weed even when they don't know anything about it. Why is that if somebody goes out and gets blind drunk every weekend then it's all in good fun but if somebody else smokes an occasional joint they must be a drug addict loser? This fucks me right off

It's a pretty safe bet that any drug related site will end up being on the manditoraly banned IP list, including OnLine Seed Shops, OZ Stoners, ETC. They would then probably ban & block encrypted anonymity servers to prevent alternative access to the banned drug related sites. Say goodbye to most imported cannabis genetics & say hello to much poorer quality pot in Australia... We Need To Act NOW to Stop This: URL=http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet/442 Once it's in & Done, we'll NEVER get rid of it. WE'RE NOT LITTLE CHILDREN, RUDD, & THIS ISN'T CHINA, YET.

Hey people. Hope this is the best section for this, I've got a bad back and I am in pain so forgive me... Take a look at this website, which is a South Australian drug program: http://www.drugbeat.org/Marijuana.htm Here is some of the factual information they state about marijuana (copy and pasted): THE FACTS: 75% of people in our Mental Health System are there because of drugs. Marijuana is more addictive than heroin Marijuana detox takes far longer than heroin detox. The symptoms of marijuana detox can be just as severe as heroin. Marijuana is a ‘gateway’ drug for youth. i.e. it does lead to the use of other drugs. The MENTAL effects include: De…

I know it is a rip off but I am pretty desperate, new in town etc etc So if I head down to the X and actually manage to score as opposed to being totally ripped off, and then I get busted by the cops with their dogs and I have a gram on me, what are the likely consequences. Bearing in mind I am a tourist (in London as a tourist you will be dealt with more lightly- however that probably isnt the case here). So what is likely to happen, and what is the worst case scenario? Could I get busted, arrested, deported??? Thanks for any info anyone has to share, especially if you have experience of being busted on the X Thanks

Hi All, It looks like the politicians are trying to toughen up Cannabis laws in Queensland. Inquiry into Addressing Cannabis Please read the Media Releaseand the Issue Paper which outline the topic. From the sound of the bias in those statements we need as may people as possible to Make a Submission. They even have a prepared Electronic Form to make the completion so easy even a stoner could do it. It would be good if as many Qld'ers here could make their opinions heard. Megalomaniac

March is time to vote for South Australians. and I just wanted to remind all the stoners out there about HEMP SA. They just got a new facebook page, here is a description on that page: Help End Marijuana Prohibition (H.E.M.P) SA is a political party based in South Australia commited to the legalisation of cannabis in its many forms, and for its many uses. This group is a show of support for the party, and the causes and values the party holds. Cannabis in its various forms is one of the most useful, naturally occurring substances in the world. It has been in use for thousands of years by humans, for all things ranging from clothes, to relaxation, to religion, to med…

Hi all, I'm making a documentary on the use of drug detection dogs by police on public transport and at events. I'm looking for stories related to drug dogs in nsw.

Hey all. Sorry to post yet another tidbit - but it's my first day off work for ages, so I'm going nuts with it Thought I'd post here some of my fave quotes from notable people about cannabis. Feel free to add to the list! "Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany) "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing l…
