The South Australian election is less than a fortnight away. A Liberal majority will see the state's cannabis expiation system overhauled - fines will be increased, or the entire system may be scrapped. This will result in more cannabis users being targeted by law enforcement, greater hardship for our community, and it will not reduce cannabis use, cultivation, availability or harm - not a single one of their aims will be achieved with Zero Tolerance laws. If you're in SA, please vote 1 for the Greens. Do not vote Labor or an Independent, VOTE GREEN! You may think that this is a two party system, and either Labor or Liberal will get in anyway so you may as well vote…

I just think she would turn Australia around and lead it back towards a New Zealand type mentality and not towards this tragic hard line economical vision that the liberals are hell bent on. I think this is far more pressing than simply trying to get the greens in. I think Labour under Gillard will head greener anyways. And green pressure can still be applied while they are in.... the hand brake needs to be applied to Howards Way. Just my two sense. I'm getting organised to move to NZ in the next four years cause thise place is getting led so so far to the dogs... Its less about a single (selfish) 'hemp' policy, and more about getting Liberal 'out'

Hi all, HEMP are running in the upperhouse in the SA election and the candidate is Lisa Crago. The updated site is http://hemp.on.net HEMP HELP LINE 0439 800 891 Lisa is a 30ish with a degree in political science from Flinders Uni, a parent, not your average 'stoner' and currently completin a Law Degree. With a very short lead in time the campaign has had a jump start thanks to the hard line policiy of Liberal, Family First, No Drugs plus the Greens in SA dumping its legalisation policy. As a past Federal campaign manager for the Greens Lisa is no stranger to politics. She is also aware of the 'greenwash' of the SA Greens still pretending to advocate for r…

I am considering starting a couple of plants in my girlfriends house. In the shed to be precise. My girlfriend owns the house however we both will be living there. the shed will be my domain to which i hold the only key and i will be paying her rent. She is currently studying to be a high school teacher and hence will be employed by the state. Q- if we gut busted, can i claim full responsibility and can she stick to "i know nothing" will this ride? or are they going to do the owner of the property despite a signed confession from me. There would be money to get a solicitor to defend her if necessary. as i am sure you are aware, with a drug record, her carrer would be …

Hey guys, Following recent announcements from the Howard government, it's become clear that a very organised anti-cannabis offensive is reaching its peak. NAPNT have dubbed this The Cannabis Wars 2006, and I agree that this year is going to be a very pivotal year for our community. If you were ever contemplating getting involved, even if only in the form of anonymous donations or support in whatever way you can contribute, then NOW is the time. This is really important guys, we have a very important battle ahead of us and if we win strategic ground in the next few months then it's going to make all of our lives much easier, and keep our families that much safer. If…

Hi everyone, i'm just new to OS, but i was recently reading the QLD 'Drugs misuse act 1986' and the 'Drugs misuse regulation 1987' and noticed a possible loophole in the legislation. www.legislation.qld.gov.au/ LEGISLTN/CURRENT/D/DrugsMisuseA86.pdf www.legislation.qld.gov.au/ LEGISLTN/CURRENT/D/DrugsMisuseR87.pdf As stated in drugs misuse A86, part 2, penalties apply for a number of offences concerning schedule 2 substances, however, in drugs misuse R87 (part 5), schedule 2 lists only Cannabis Sativa. What about Cannabis indica? Could this be classed under Cannabinoids? Does anyone think that this could be a justifiable defence if someone was to be prosecuted, …

Greetings fellow stoners, I was unsure of where to post this, but I think as issue such as this would be highly politicised, so here we are... After recently watching a downloaded documentary, it really occurred to me how remarkable this plant is. Here are a few things that can be made: - Ethanol, a fuel (sure it can be made from other plants too, but due to the high cellulose content, cannabis is particularly suited for ethanol production) - Fibre for clothing etc (cannabis contains one of the strongest and longest fibres of any know plant( - Dietary supplement (the oil from seeds contains the most balanced combination of essential fatty acids found in nature) - Pa…

In light of possible new laws regarding hydro grown weed, i've been wondering what is and isn't hydro. If someone was using Coco and hand watering with hydro nutes with no aparent hydro system ie: res tanks, pumps and pipes etc. Would that be hydro in the eyes of the law? After all the plants are in what looks to be soil. Coco maybe a safer option for our NSW members before too long.

Hry guys, ive browsed quite a few posts however am still a little unsure... when being prosecuted for cultivation in NSW, do you get catagorised by the number of plants or by weight of plant matter? More specifically, what is/will be the penalty for under five plants? And how many outdoor plants is the limit to still get the minimum charges? Also will up to 300gm still be the weight before deemed supply? ta

Dutch get first cannabis pharmacy From correspondents in Amsterdam February 02, 2006 THE Dutch city of Groningen looks set to open the Netherlands' first pharmacy totally dedicated to providing high quality cannabis for pain relief at affordable prices, it was reported today.

Groningen city council member Fleur Woudstra, who supports the cannabis pharmacy, told the paper…

Hi all, After having a quick read through this thread: http://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...wtopic=5911&hl= I have had an idea, I think we should create a thread that is a resource for people to refute so called "experts" claims as to the destructive nature of MJ. What i was thinking of is just a simple list of links reference material, eg: university and medical studies and scientific evidence. Knowledge is power and it would be nice to have the amunition handy to refute obvious bullshit with facts rather than them putting down our views as "just that, your views". So please if you have any links to studies and scientific evedence please post…
