Hey guys... Just thought I would put in a Plug for a Lawsuit we were in a few years ago, as NOTHING in Canada has changed since we SUED the Government for a SAFE, CLEAN, AFFORDABLE source of Cannabis in 2003. I STILL buy from the street when I can't grow enough to take care of my needs and am RARELY able to fill my allotted prescription of 20-28 grams a DAY. I am one of the largest prescriptions for Cannabis in Canada at this time due to an excruciating pain I have in my face twenty four hours a day called Tic Douloureux - the Worst pain known to medicine, associated with Multiple Sclerosis..... I am STILL fighting to have ALL Drugs legalized and regulated here in…

I've tried interpreting the wording of the actual law, but I can't figure out if it is one plant per house or per person? Does anyone know if I put in one for me and one for the misses, is that still covered by the on the spot fine?

Number of research papers here. http://www.ancd.org.au/publications/index....research_papers research publication in question http://www.ancd.org.au/publications/pdf/rp...s_questions.pdf this website and its research paper is referred to by. http://notes.med.unsw.edu.au/ndarcweb.nsf/...7F?OpenDocument Publication 2006. This is a recent report on cannabis. This is an excellent publication and I recommend everyone read this. It still thats so little is known about cannabis - but what is known, its more positive than you think. So, is ignorance really isnt an excuse, particulary with those intent on pushing lies and propaganda on "hydro" ? ---- So does this resear…

Just saw a story on Sunrise where this Dr Michael Carr-Gregg was explaining the dangers of marijuana, backed up by 5second soundbytes from pimple faced schoolkids interviewed in a shopping mall. He said parents might be able to tell if their kid is smoking mj if they find their garden hose is getting shorter or they find their toothpicks are missing. Yeah good idea ya fucking wanker parents should count their toothpicks and measure their garden hose every week to see whether or not their kids are doing drugs

It won't be long before all smoking in public places, including bars, will be banned in Australia. Do you think this will effect the Hemp Bar in Nimbin? It seems the cops are willing to let them exist there as long as they keep it out of sight but what if the Health Department was involved under an anti smoking law?

other than the fact you want to get high? ok, for most of us that is good enough reason in itself, but its not a very good argument to people who don't smoke, and we need their support. so we need some better arguments. medicinal use? Yeah maybe. Mainly for relief of nausea and to make the patient feel better but no direct medicinal value in most cases. Still, any drug which is not physically addictive and has minimal side effects and health risks and makes patients feel better must be a good thing. Do we have support from the medical community on this? I don't think so. In my own experience speaking with Doctors they seem to be of the opinion that in most case…

My brother, Nick who lives in Wollongong, visited the other day and among the gems he brought with him was a digi copy of a Australian Marijuana Party pamphlet from Kiama by-election circa 1985. Maybe some of the old-timers might remember how strong pot was in those days? 30 times stronger today? Ha ha ha what a joke, I remember some mind boggling herb from that era.

One of the main reasons for the prohibition of marijuana, given that it seems these days that people can do it a good deal of the time in the privacy of their own home, is to make it socially unacceptable in the general community. The present level of the law enforcement on this matter results in it's relative acceptance for home use: mainly because the prisons aren't big enough to imprison all of the users, but it is not acceptable for public use or even intoxication (even if the drug was consumed at home). The design of all this is to make being under it's influence in public socially unacceptable. Hence: it is "bad" to drive while stoned on cannabis. This is rega…

If everyone on this site was interviewed as representatives of the stoner community, what impression would we give? Would getting to know the people behind the screen names encourage an argument for law reform or would it only confirm that marijuana destroys lives and stoners are a waste of space. If you don't think your life is a positive example for cannabis law reform then maybe you should do something about it. For yourself if nothing else. If your life isn't a good example to others, how happy can you be with it yourself?

I just read a member here (postman) tried it on in Qld, man I'd love to have been in court that day to see the magistate's red neck light up... But has anyone got any reliable info on this new angle I just read about in USA? I can't find any real way of knowing if they beat their system or not. News Article re: Marijauan Religion finding a loophole The apparent site Septics have a strange view to law. if they find something in their constitution that allowed some horrid thing, something un-imaginable; they'd allow it. Equally, if they found something that was fine and upstanding, but against their consitution, they'd actively destroy it. They have an intensely …

How come the hemp industry looks for support from pot smokers but won't offer their support in return? The hemp industry in Australia not only provides no support for pot smokers, but goes out of its way to distance itself from us. Most people in the hemp industry would gladly see all stoners locked up if it meant they'd become millionaires. If you think hemp can save the planet then great but don't think by supporting the hemp indistry they will do the same for us, because they won't. BTW I notice the cops have street cams in Nimbin these days. PS - The hemp industry can go fuck itself IMO

This may well have been cited here before, and I oppologise if that's so, but I found an interesting statistic on channel 9's web site. They listed all the results of surveys over a couple years, one of which was "Should Marijuana be legalised? Here's the results- April 1, 2001: Should marijuana be legalised? Yes: 7386 No: 7175 NINE MSN SURVEY RESULTS So when should we expect the change? cheers rob

Well the site I've been harping on and on about is finally open www.MarijuanaAustraliana.net Please come on over and check it out, register an account and post to the forums. This is your site, the whole point of this project is to give us a place to discuss and plan the outright legalisation of cannabis in Australia. I'm not hosting anything to do with cultivation, the primary focus is on cannabis law reform. I'm not trying to replace OzStoners or split the community - this site is fantastic. Please get involved! We're not going to get anywhere without your support, we need as many Australians to register and contribute as possible. You don't…
