Great bunch of people at the ADLRF, these are the people who are fighting for us and others on the science. A discussion paper has recently been produced by an organisation called "TRANSFORM drug policy foundation" on the options of a regulated drug market and how this may work in practice. It may be of interest to members here and thought I'd provide a link to it here. It's long, take that as given, but it's worth the read and the arguments are put quite well. http://www.tdpf.org.uk/blueprint%20download.htm Enjoy and know that there are many many others who have the same goals of a free society which doesn't punish consenting adults for victimless crimes.

IF You were Reported to the Police for Growing How long would it take for the boys to come knocking at your door? Interested to know from people who have been raided or even people that have heard from someone who knows some one that was visited. Just wondering if it is days/months/years .... I am not sure if someone has reported me so I was wondering how long to wait until i could reassure myself that it is just my paranoia and not based on fact.

I am posting the banner I made off to the Hemp Embassy today for their use both at Sydney and at MardiGrass ... and anywhere else they want. If I can't be there in person I can be there in spirit at least. Some of the damn sequins didn't co-operate though

Just an update for the interested activists to be I am currently reading and digesting all the stuff that the government requires in order to form a legitimate group, which will be a non profit organisation. This might take me a while as there is a lot to read before we can go further. I am hoping to have a sample Mission Statement and constitution up for discussion soon, but can't give you an exact time frame at this point in time.

I got an email from the NSW police about the rally in Sydney on the 7th September. it says : I am attaching the PDF they sent me to this post so you can read it. NOW ... HOW DO I FILL IT OUT ??? I presume I have to give my name and address ??? I'd rather not actually .... as I am not the organiser... or the head of an organisation. I am not attending the Rally, coz I can't afford to get to Sydney for it. I am also not a resident of NSW. We don't have an organisation to name in the paperwork. I am wondering if the HEMP embassy at nimbin should/would/could perhaps be filling out the paperwork as they are attending as far as I know and they are an establish…

Respect for national sovereignty is a key concept for Member States of the United Nations. Article 2 (7) of the United Nations Charter states "Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state...". The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) can recommend and offer guidelines, but it is the prerogative of Member States to formulate national policy.

Being 21 days since we lodged proceedings in the High Court M28 of 2009 Melbourne Registry we expected that we would receive the opp submissions today in the mail, we did not. We have however just been notified that the Vic OPP has sought and received an extension of time to lodge their summary of response argument in the High Court to our application. The letter we got from the high court says High court time extensions under Rule 26 of the high court rules are only granted in "Exceptional Circumstances" So what was the "exceptional circumstances"? the fact that the OPP has suddenly realised it does not have a leg to stand on? Summary of responses from the Attorneys…
