How accurate are new roadside drug tests? By Carolyn Tucker Lawyers are lining up to question the accuracy and purpose of new roadside drug tests, claiming there is insufficient scientific evidence to justify the government’s random approach. Launching the new roadside tests last week, Police Minister Judy Spence said there would be zero tolerance for those who climbed behind the wheel under the influence of marijuana, speed, ice or ecstasy. Ms Spence said those were caught would face fines of up to $1050 and lose their licence for up to nine months for a first offence. But some in the legal community, who prefer not to be named, suggested the new laws appeared …

I just wish to advise that I have found what I know to be the best drug, supplement, treatment, etc. that I have or will ever find in my life. As there are laws about what can be said regarding medicines, etc. I will refrain from advising that this stuff can cure cancer, AIDS, malaria, fungus, cold, influenza and such like. The results occur in hours not days after starting with this stuff. Moreover, as it cannot be patented and the ingredients can be purchased easily it is very, very inexpensive. I couldn't be bothered making it up myself so I purchase it for $14.50 which includes $5.00 postage. If you are at all interested I suggest that you Google “MMS Humble” and shou…

Hey all BJ Here again. As i posted some time ago with my dramas of getting busted growing and getting off with the great result of No Conviction Recorded, i now have another dilemma. Basically i am going for a computer job. I have a long history of working in computers and am currently shortlisted for a new job. The question on the forms asks me to disclose anything charges i have been found guilty of or had a conviction for in the past. I called QLD police and they said that my recent charges from last year of No Conviction Recorded for growing / posession etc will not show up as no conviction was recorded. However i have read conflicting information online a…

Ever wonder why, despite all the evidence to support the value of Cannabis and Cannabis derivatives to health and the welfare of the seriously ill, that our government still considers us stoners to be outlaws, and still criminalises the consumption of pot? Read this. I know it's wikipedia, but the external sources link to primary source documentation. This is similar to other international agreements that our successive parliaments have signed us up to without referendum. It makes for very interesting reading. Apologies if this is not the correct thread, but the Belladonna I'm curently smoking has my brain doing circus tricks! Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs

I found this interesting and while I new about it I didnt know the specific details of what happened. This should be widely known! If people knew the real story behind the demonizing of pot they would be outraged. Way back when, cannibis hemp was the new cash crop. It was being hailed by everyone as the miracle plant, including the AMA. It was so successful that it was going to replace wood as the main ingredient in paper. It was easily renewable and didn't require the vast amounts of water to produce paper like wood does. It also didn't pollute nearly as much. Lots of rich people had a huge stake in wood and paper, the Duponts, etc. Eventually, a banker and influential…

Hi guys, I've been thinking for a long time about the possibility of creating a new party with the single policy of legalising marijuana. No doubt many others have had this idea and other parties standing on the same platform already exist at a federal level. I'm not the most savvy person when it comes to the quagmire of modern electioneering and politicking in general but I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Atleast half of Australians have smoked pot at some point and this would be a splendid way of educating people about the benefits of industrial hemp. Personally I'd like to see indepth research into the potential for hempseed oil as a biomass fuel for power plants…

TWO healthy children who had never been abused or neglected by their parents were forced into foster care last September after it was found the couple had smoked cannabis. The two children -- a girl, aged two, and her baby brother -- were removed from their home by police officers after two case workers from the NSW Department of Community Services had reported their concerns over the parents' drug use. But three months later, NSW Supreme Court judge George Palmer ordered that the children be returned to their parents, whom a psychologist had found to be "loving, sensitive and ... well able to provide for the safety, welfare and wellbeing of their infant children". …

ninemsn.com.au 10:31 AEST Mon Jan 19 2009 by Larine Statham Australia's only sitting Democrat says she is pleased the man she voted for will replace her when she retires. David Winderlich worked as Sandra Kanck's policy adviser for several years, before being elected to replace her in the legislative council of the South Australian Parliament in a party vote that took place last week. "He has an excellent understanding of parliament and knows all the laws that are up in the air at the moment and he'll be able to slip right into it," Ms Kanck said. Richard Way and Craig Bossie also contended the seat, but were defeated by the father of five. "All I know was tha…

Oh noes. When the libs were in power they put forth the idea a couple of times of making the internet more family friendly. Fair enough, I don't ant my kids getting hit with unwanted porn or other nasties. These ideas however were always opt-in, that is, that if you were concerned about that kind of thing you have it activated at a user level. This NEW plan involves blanket censorship at the ISP level..whether you want it or not. This includes 2 lists, a child-friendly one and one that also blocks 'illegal' sites including kiddie porn (fair enough) terrorist sites and DRUG SITES. It's bad enough that mj is illegal in the first place, making it illegal to even talk a…
