Today is International Drug Users Day, a day when users of currently illicit drugs reflect on the damage inflicted on their communities in the name of the war on drugs. All around the world, people who use illicit drugs are persecuted. The death penalty is still in place for drug offences in many countries. Pressured by the United States, many governments are adopting failed prohibitionist strategies in their bid to eradicate all illicit opium and coca production worldwide by 2008. The UN General Assembly made that pledge in Geneva in 1998. Immense resources are being devoured as nations do their bit to meet this stated goal. The United States Government is paying…

i cant believe the CDP (christian Democratic Party) they have to be the most dangerous political group in australia. There policies claim the greens are comunists, gay people are evil, youth should be controlled. They claim by making drugs MORE ILLIGAL that it will stop people using. They claim if your caught with a small amount of marijuna, a jail sentence is appropriate. They are a dangerous group of people , and i cant believe they exist, if anyone has any opinions on why these people have these policies i would like to hear it......

Mon, 4 Oct 2004 A MEDIA RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE ME...... 'WEED CONTROL' A BREATH OF FRESH AIR SAYS HEMP What has the HEMP Party and the Australian Defence Force got in common? They both advocate responsible cannabis use! "Press reports that the Defence Department has a treatment program called 'Weed Control' advising safer drug use such as eating hash cookies instead of smoking joints, is a breath of fresh air," said NSW HEMP Senate Candidate Michael Balderstone. "Is this in the field, we wonder? It might make our guys aware enough to evade those amphetamine fuelled U.S. fighter pilots!" he added. "Voters should remember on Saturday cannabis is alrea…

I was wondering if people out there really think dope will ever be legalized? The hope seems to be fed every so often by some politician, but never really gets any further. Not to mention that our "Brave New World" is a bit more inclined in restricting our freedom than improving it. I think the best we can hope for is a distracted police force and lenient judges.

These results are NOT final as they don't include postal, absentee etc votes. NSW Senate HEMP 19,159 primary votes (down .2%) QLD Senate HEMP 13,767 primary votes (down .55%) #2 preferences go to the Greens. Hopefully that will be enough to get them some senate seats!!!

Well life some times sux, I have to sit a drug test for a job and need to detox before I go to the test. Question does anyone know of a way to purge your body quicker? Some sites say it takes up to 30 days to pass a urine test. After the first test I only have to do swabs which are easy to pass because they only test for the hours before. Has any one ever done a test or know how long it realy takes before you pass? I been smoking every day for 15 years + only a J or 2 but I only get one bite at the cherry and dont want to fail. Cheers all Rob J

(content by John Jiggens, author of Marijuana Australiana) As a founder of HEMP (Help End Marijuana Prohibition) and a former HEMP candidate, I am writing to explain why I have resigned from the HEMP party and why I am urging voters in NSW who support drug law reform to vote for John Kaye and the Greens and not HEMP in the coming Federal election. Many New South Wales voters no doubt giggled when they heard that the HEMP Party had stuffed up their voting ticket. What HEMP NSW are not admitting is how monumental their stuff-up is. The preference tickets issued by the NSW HEMP Party are out there in the outer-stratosphere of incompetence. They have nothing to do with …
