Billions Can Be Saved By New Government: (18 November 2008) Voxy.co.nz http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/billions-ca...vernment/5/5514 The new National led government could save as much as five billion dollars a year if they are prepared to address the root cause of its loss, according to MethCon Group director Mike Sabin. "A study by BERL, Business and Economic Research Group identified illicit drug abuse, headed up by methamphetamine, was found to cost the country around $1.3b in 2006, while alcohol abuse is conservatively thought to cost the country between $1b and $4b a year", said Mr. Sabin . "We are in the middle of an economic crisis and the new government ha…

Thirty-seven percent, or 1,519,273 voters, were opposed. Opponents again were unable to derail the measure. Nitty.

Unknown author I use to sell drugs for a living. For ten years I supplied hundreds of thousands of people with a dangerous mind altering substance. This was the job I had always wanted. I had grown up around this drug and from a young age took an unhealthy interest in it. I began using in my teens and quickly joined the drug industry as a shit kicker. Having worked my way up the ladder I was a major player in the distribution of this dangerous drug, and I loved it. Within 5 years I was responsible for a multi million dollar a year business with several staff working for me. I was good at selling this drug, my bosses made huge profits feeding off people’s addicti…

Hey im not sure if this video has been posted or not but http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=kMDVveEZjI8&...feature=related is part 1 of 11 on a documentary on Cannabis. My only wish that the main public or those leading would sit down and just simply watch this video, it is greatly informative and well just makes me fairly annoyed at the cannabis situation at the present time. I also believe that if public awareness of this is not increased cannabis will never be legal.

Bjelke-Peterson son in Qld election bid October 24, 2008 - 11:04AM Source: ABC The Bjelke-Peterson name may be back on the ballot papers when the next Queensland election is held. John Bjelke-Peterson, son of former premier Sir Joh, is seeking preselection for the Liberal-National Party in Nanango in the South Burnett, in south-east Queensland. Mr Bjelke-Peterson stood for the Nationals in 2006, but was narrowly beaten by independent Member Dorothy Pratt. He says he hopes having one of the most famous names in Queensland politics is an advantage. "Certainly my parents have achieved a lot in their time in their services to the state," he said. "I'd like to hope…

I am new to this forum and I have a real serious issue coming up. My husband is traveling and I've heard that there may be checkpoints with dogs since he's going to TX. What is the best way other than luck to help him throw the dogs off so they wont smell it. He thinks if he double bags it in freezer bags and then puts it down in the cooler that will be filled with ice and cold water and other foods including an open bologna package that they wont smell it. Is this true? Or I've heard that if you use some kind of hunting scent that will throw em off too. Can someone help me with this?

Quote of the Week 'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.' Thomas Jefferson 1802

hello to all, excuse my ignorance in not saying hello on joining ozstoners As any who have read my rants I am reform cause they won't let me regrowth I really wanted to have a big bitch to celebrate my 100th post but flaked it and ranted in another thread so this is post 101 (i think) What to rant about is not a hard choice, some have seen my rants about the police being a corrupt institution which has a vested interest in maintaining a false war on drugs. Some may have read my rants about the way the police have treated me, some have accused me of whinging ( and rightly so). But I will try and contain my rants to this thread from now on? Some have read how o…

Hi People how are you all out there? I recently joined the canna community and am really stoked to see such a large number if resources and discussions here. I thought i would ask for some advice on the matter of being busted growing in Queensland. To sum it up a bit over a year ago i was charged with growing some Hydro which came about under some stupid and really unlucky circumstances. One night i was playing guitar with a new guitar amp i just bought. As a result i had the neighbours call the cops who arrived on the seen and silly me had the curtain open to my front door. I answered and they were cool and told me to keep it down. Just as they were waling away they …

Politician sorry for not smoking pot Thursday, 18 September, 2008 World News Australia http://news.sbs.com.au/worldnewsaustralia/...king_pot_557957 The leader of Canada's Green Party has apologised for never having tried marijuana while unveiling plans to call for the legalisation of cannabis. "I am not a fan of marijuana use," politician Elizabeth May explained at a campaign rally in Halifax, ahead of next month's election. "I've never used marijuana. I apologize." In its election manifesto, the Green party said the country's decades-old marijuana prohibition had "utterly failed and has not led to reduced drug use". Rather, prohibition has led to costly policing…
