Thought I'd share this with ya, this is a thread on GardenWeb about gardeners concerned about the interest by police into their legal indoor gardening. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and the topic has turned to marijuana law reform now, so I thought it had become relevant enough. This is an international forum though, so most of the views come from the yanks. Still an interesting read, so enjoy! GardenWeb Forum, "Cops are watching my house, what would you do?"

This is a story about a UK gov drug envoy. In control of so called drug action teams. I actually feel sorry for this bloke, I spose it serves him right. Guardian Article - How Britain is Losing the War On Drugs Heres a snippet, I was a bit high when I read this so it was very funny: If its not militaristic fascism a la the US then its this sort of incompetence. Just another reason why drug policy should be, if anything, a health based policy not a criminal justice one. At least their incompetence isn't busting small time choofers. SNAFU

If you can find the court pages for your state then it could go a long way to easing the paranoia of being busted, the actual sentences rarely match the law here in Tas. These sentences were copied from the Tas supreme court web page last year. R v ROBERT 18 JUNE 2002 COMMENTS ON PASSING SENTENCE CRAWFORD J Robert, you pleaded guilty to one count of selling a narcotic substance. I must accept the facts as they have been put before the Court. They are that you were a user and that you obtained for other people on about four occasions a gram of methylamphetamine or speed for them, which you sold to them for $300 on each occasion, that bei…

quote from an article i was reading about SA: "Marijuana is still an illicit substance in South Australia even though it was widely "decriminalised" for personal use by the Labour Government in 1987. That government brought in an expiation fine system where simple possession of small quantities enabled the police to give you a fine and no criminal record - rather like a parking fine. This "decriminalisation" of cannabis has served to stop the crowding of courts of stoned offenders of a victimless crime and makes an important distinction between personal use and dealing." I think this maybe the approach to take for initating the legalisation of cannabis? crawl before …

Hey all, I was reading this and thought that some of you growers might be interested in seeing how you might be of risk to a search warrant... http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/con...act/swa1985175/ Some points to consider: Most of you know this. The difficult part is determining which basis for a warrant is reasonable... there's a great deal of room for grey area there. Of course, it not only extends to narcotics offences, but just about any indictable offence. You always have a right to ask for the warrant, and to see it. Again we see the term reasonable, without giving any clear examples. A pity that police don't share the same view of reason …

In other posts people have mentioned that hydro can get you harsher penalties than soil growing, and stonedas said that a staged grow system with clones has resulted in more severe penalties than a similar sized single grow room using seeds. I was considering a staged hydro setup with clones designed to harvest every two months, but with this information I think I'll go with soil & seed in a single larger grow room if this makes the consequences a lot less severe if I get busted. It doesn't really matter, as I should be able to produce enough to satisfy my needs either way, so I may as well go with a system that will only give me a fine and not jail time.

Just listened to a story on triple j's morning show discussing new legislation in s.a re hydro growing.....paul dillon from the national drug and alchohol research centre made an interesting point that due to the many mediums that hydro is grown in, there may difficulty in defining what is actually considered hydro when it comes to prosecution...i'm sure the bastards will find a way of prosecuting anyone growing in a "controlled environment"....also some interesting input from callers about the effect hydro has on them as smokers ie: stronger, harsher, left with a hangover when too many chemicals are used in the grow....anyhow just thought i would share that info with you…
