Hi Guys & Girls of Oz stoners, My name is Wayne, formerly known as generic hippie, and I publish a small pro-cannabis monthly newspaper which was removed from circulation by Joe Friend, local camphor laurel eradication fanatic. In my October edition I published some observations about camphor laurel trees I have made personally, this is the article as written; Camphor Bloody Laurels again… Well, I got the jaws around the place flapping again with my mention of camphor laurels last month. Tony Baron gave me a call asking me to air the other side of this potentially explosive issue. Ok, so it is only “some camphors” that cause problems, not the beautiful specimen …

Authors: Maddox, S; Williams, S Title: Cannabis-related experiences and rate of cultivation: would they change under a policy of decriminalization? Source: DRUGS-EDUCATION PREVENTION AND POLICY, 5 (1): 47-58 MAR 1998 KeyWords Plus: AUSTRALIA Abstract: It has been argued by many involved in the treatment and prevention of drug-related problems that policies of prohibition have been largely ineffective, that they produce a range of health, social and economic harms, and may well have contributed to an increase in the use of some illicit drugs. Policy makers in some countries are considering the adoption of strategies which aim to reduce harm without necessarily eli…

getting seeds sent from the UK

If I were to say get seeds sent from the UK or whereever and they were found by customs what happens? Do they just confiscate them or can the police prosecute you for something? If all they do is confiscate them, does anyone have any good sites with an option for extra fast shipping they can recommend? thanks

Alright, I was listening to the radio the other day, and they were discussing the best way to beat a Piss Test. This guy calls up and says that he works at one of those Urinalisys Labs, and he said that, "Niacin is the only thing that works on THC" I was still pretty skeptical about it, but until I talked to my friends about it, and they said that they've been using it for drug test too, and it always works for them. But anyway, I had already been smoking earlier that week, (we must have smoked about 6 bowls). So I ran to the health food store, and bought a bottle. I took 2 pills, and it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, my skin started turning red, and I had a …

I'm wondering if pot was cheaper, would you buy less alcohol?? or less cigarettes for smokers?? I highly doubt people would, I don't see what the alcohol and tobacco industries fear so much, if pot was cheaper I think more alcohol would be bought, and more ciggarettes would be bought as spin. I think the amount of pot smokers who also smoke ciggarettes is higher than the amount of non pot smokers who smoke ciggarettes. Some people just like to fuck there lungs. I don't buy ciggies or alcohol myself, but I don't think the alcohol companies are the people keeping pot behind bars, the legality of marijuana won't effect the consumption of alcohol the same as the legality of…

Over many years conversating with people in the USA and having been there myself i realise that the war on drugs in many ways is a War On Citizens where neighbours are encouraged by Government Advertising to "dob in a grower,a personal use grower even)"The Us Government often hound innocent people and investigate totally legal sales of Hydroponic equipment in the hope of capturing a "grower".

Hey guys I'm from the UK and I've just found this link on the Mark Thomas website http://www.smokebush.co.uk It seems they got shut down and banned several times for selling anti bush T-shirts with the slogan 'Smoke Bush not Iraq' In the UK every student message board banned them and were politely asked not to come back to markets and boot sales because they were 'attracting the wrong sort of people' A few us citizens even had their t-shirts confiscated on return to the US! Do you have the same trouble in Oz? for the full thread click here: http://www.mtcp.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?...er=asc&start=30 MW

Jesus & Marijuana Cannabis and the Christ: Jesus used Marijuana "If you know the truth, the truth will make you free." (John 8:32) Jesus used Marijuana As doubtful as the following hypothesis might first seem to the reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start: either Jesus used marijuana or he was not the Christ. The very word "Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing properties. The Greek title "Christ" is …

Im not paranoid. Im just cynical. I dont trust GM foods and I belive the whole GM food thing is a system set up by american corporate interests to screw the rest of the world... so what of GM dope?. GM canola is said to be more resiliant claim the GM people. the poor farmers found out that they cant use a percentage of there crop to grow the next generation because the seeds from GM canola are sterile. they find they have to purchace more of the GM seed to grow next season. and thats not considering the health aspects of GM foods. if the same companys that screw the average canola farmers are doing it to dope then what can we expect... if anyone knows anything abo…

For those that know me, you'll already be aware of my views that we need across the board law reform for all drugs. Not just grass. All drugs are a personal choice, and prohibition of ANY substance only and always creates criminal activity, police/government corruption, danger to users, especially youth, and more addicts strangely enough. Each and every one of the spin offs listed there are a huge topic in and of themselves, but I think would go pretty much un-challenged by all who study this subject. There's an article I want to post here in a minute, that shows the incredibly heavy hand that America has in our affairs. Regardless of if you agree with heroin trials…
