Attention all QLD Stoners and Stoners abroad! It's time to put MASSIVE pressure on the QLD Government to Decriminalise MJ.

If you are interested in organizing for your right to smoke MJ then PM me and i will assign you a target and instructions of what messages to send that person.

ORIGINS It has occupied a central position in the history of civilisations, past and present. It¹s known to have provided fibre from 8,000 BC with medicinal uses being recorded in 4000 BC. Sources confirm that hemp textiles have been dated from 10,000 years ago,(approximately the same time as pottery was invented and preceding metalworking).Up until the 1900¹s hemp remained the world¹s primary agricultural commodity. PROHIBITION Cannabis hemp was never prohibited because of any real "drug problem" in the U.S. Available evidence points to vested interests, cooperatively acting together, to pressure legislators into banning cannabis to suit their own ends. These in…

By outlawing marijuana, governments and politicians are playing God. Marijuana is a plant that grows naturally in many countries with warm climates throughout the world and requires no artificial tampering or chemical processing to produce it's phsiological effects --unlike alcohol which has to undergo extensive manmade intervention in the form of processing, fermenting etc. Except for natural drying out, marihuana doesn't require anything else when growing in it's natural state. Yet alcohol which has and continues to be the cause of numerous deaths on the roads--especially people under the age of 25yrs-- and is the cause of high blood pressure, heart disease, liver a…

I just sent him an email saying that his communist government wont be tolerated for very long and i see him being taken out of power by civilians to stand trial on war cri…

Santa will arrive in Darwin tomorrow to express his continued support for the community’s campaign against the ‘drug house’ laws. Currently en route from the North Pole, Santa is expected to make an appearance in Darwin’s Raintree Park tomorrow afternoon, at the 23rd Community Smoke-In for Human Rights. The smoke-in, organised by the Darwin-based drug law-reform group, the Network Against Prohibition (NAP), will be the 23rd such event since the NAP was established in March 2002. It is the fourth with a ‘Christmas in July’ theme. Smoke-ins are held as a regular protest against the Northern Territory Government’s ‘drug house’ laws and other abuses of human rights in t…

I read on sky news thismorning that the president of indonesia has been quoted as saying indonesia refuses to give a presidential pardon to any drug smuggler and that schapelle will be carrying out her 20 year sentance :thumbdown the way things are looking, the courts decision to give her 20 years is going to stand, if the indonesians give the prosecutors what they want (life imprisonment) they'll look like they are corrupt and if they set her free, they'll look like they are sympathetic to drug smugglers, so basically they are just going to wait for things to blow over and just let things stay the way they are.... just like any other problem a government has, there…

read on sky news not to long ago that an international lawyer based in london believes that if the war in iraq is found to be illegal, howard bush and blair will all be prosecuted for war crimes :thumbsup on the last page of the story, it said if the war is found to be illegal and howard leaves australia after his term in office is up, he'll be prosecuted sucks to think that it might only happen if he is out of power and out of the country but im sure we could give him a nice retirement holiday if it came down to it on the bright side of things, if the war is found to be illegal, the leaders of the countries who went to war should be held accountable for all…
