Hey guys, I have recently created a support group on Facebook for Australians to gather and discuss methods and tactics to quit synthetic cannabis. If anyone has ever been addicted to synthetic, kronic, spice whatever we know exactly how hard it is to quit. Most of our reasons for getting on the drug in the first place was because of the illegality of regular cannabis. If you know anyone suffering from addiction, withdrawal, or simply wants to start taking steps toward cutting it out of their lives, please invite them to join the page. Who am I, I am a citizen of Victoria who has had an addiction to synthetic cannabis for the past 2-3 years, I have been off for 110 hou…

Awesome tee created to help support Tony Bower from Mullaway Medicinal Cannabis and help raise awareness within the community... as the title suggests it tackles the medicinal side of the debate and ties into the hippocratic oath that anyone in the health industry (in the past) had to abide by... why they no longer need to uphold such high standards within the health industry i beyond be... check it: http://teespring.com/letcannabisbethymedicine It's a one off campaign that needs 420 to be sold/reserved for the tee to go into print and the tees are only $20... with $10 going to the Tony Bower legal fund... if you would like to buy one or more by all means that would be …

Politics can be a risky subject, so I hope this doesn't turn into a shitstorm about who supports who, because that's not what it's about. And I have to declare openly that my political position is left wing, but again that's not what this is about. I see this mainly about the attitudes and ideological positions of the politicians involved rather than party politics. So it's starting to look like there's some good prospects for law changes in NSW for Medical Marijuana, we'll have to wait and see but at least there's some movement in the right direction. My question/concern is about what might happen after the next Federal election. Lets face it, between the media and…

I am looking for other like minded people who really would be interested in starting a Cannabis Activism Group. As I have stated in a couple of other posts I can be contacted at endthedrugwar@hotmail.com or twitter @NoMoreDrugWarAu best option to contact me is my email address as I have several twitter accounts which is ridiculously difficult to maintain. What I am NOT interested in doing is walking down the street puffing away on a big fat spliff singing anti prohibition songs in protest of the repressive drug laws. I believe that would not be well received by the Australian public who are mostly brainwashed through years of Drug War Propaganda. I feel the focus shou…

The Beyond Prohibition Foundation is an independent and non-profit association, advocating for a sensible and transparant marijuana policy. They believe that it's important to cooperate with eachother as much as possible to achieve that goal one day. Attitudes regarding marijuana have changed significantly over the past few years. More and more countries are starting to either legalize cannabis (for both medical and recreational purposes) or decriminalize the posession of cannabis. The rules and lawes concerning cannabis are easing. However, in many countries, cannabis is still a forbidden substance and only one country has fully legalized marijuana; Uruguay.

Hi everyone, I realised recently that there are not any real facebook groups supporting changes to current cannabis laws in Australia. At least none that I could find. Although polls have shown that most Australians are generally supportive of less prohibitive laws, it seems like most cannabis users themselves are not very vocal in their politics. For such a large underground community I would like to see us represented with a larger and more unified voice in the public arena. I created the facebook group in the hope of spreading more accurate and scientifically valid information about cannabis to counteract the ridiculous amount of propaganda most people encounter…

Man charged over hydroponic drug cultivation - Cabramatta Tuesday, 08 October 2013 11:46:06 PM A man will appear in court tomorrow after being charged with the enhanced indoor cultivation of prohibited drugs and allegedly attaching live electrical wires to metal door handles in a Cabramatta drug house. About 11am today (Tuesday 8 October 2013), officers from the Wetherill Park and Bass Hill Region Enforcement Squads along with local police executed a search warrant at a home in Gowrie Place at Cabramatta. The officers searched the unoccupied premises allegedly locating one room with 95 cannabis plants growing in pots. Two other rooms showed a sophisticated hydroponi…

Now that the Canadianl government has opened up the production of medical marijuana to the free market, scores of entrepreneurs have begun the race to vie for a piece of the billion-dollar pie in this new commercial industry. "This is a very rare moment when you start to look at the beginning of a brand new market space," said Anton Mattadeen, chief strategy officer of MediJean, a British Columbia-based company that has recently received a research and development licence under the new regime. Starting April 1, 2014, the only legal source to obtain medical marijuana in Canada will be through producers approved by Health Canada. Businesses, especially medium-sized on…

I'm interested in what people think would happen if cannabis became legal, either fully or partially. Partially, as in for medicinal purposes. Would it become an agricultural commodity ? On face value it would be a positive step. But just curious as to what everyone thinks about issues such as supply, genetics and price. Might it be so regulated that people revert back to illegal growing to bypass red tape. A lot of people might not grow their own and still purchase from others. Would that be from you and me, or a large scale operation. If everyone had a crack, there may be a LOT of male plants doing there thing. Right next door to you. I am a farmer and am i…

The Greens believe in decriminalisation of individual drug use.. Tony and Kev do not.. Still have to vote for Kev though HOW TO VOTE AGAINST TONY ABBOTT HOW TO VOTE AGAINST TONY ABBOTT A handy step-by-step guide It is an inevitability, no matter how unfortunate, that in two weeks time either Tony Abbott or Kevin Rudd will be our new Prime Minister. Oh dear. It’s not really much of a choice but the only thing we can do is try to minimise the damage. So here’s a few suggestions and like minded despair before we hurtle into a deeply conservative and sexist future. If you’re curious abou…
