So I have been hearing that if abbott gets in at the next election hes going to try and put the military in charge of border protection. This includes customs. Wave good bye to recieving seeds from over seas. I understand this is just his way of looking tough on illegal immigrants/ boat people but it will have far greater repercussions than that and do we really want the military policing our every move. Its a slippery slope

If you are in the mood for an educated read... Should cannabis be regulated and taxed?..... We also ask whether now is the time to tackle law change, or whether Australia would be wiser to sit back and watch while other countries, such as the US, experiment with regulation. In this month's eBulletin, we're continuing this theme with additional articles on the topic of cannabis. We share a consumer viewpoint, and we also step back to reflect on the journey which led to laws prohibiting cannabis article starts at page 10 from: http://www.ofsubstance.org.au/images/archive/pdf/OfSubstance_July_2013.pdf

On May 15th 2013 the much awaited NSW upper house report was released. The report was unanimous in finding that there is a large pain and suffering burden on the population, not adequately addressed by current therapeutic agents. However, due to vague concerns over long term use, the report recommends access to legal medical cannabis only for people with terminal illnesses or AIDS. These people will have legal indemnity from prosecution for the possession of 15 grams of herbal cannabis. A nominated carer will also be covered but only for 15gm total. To gain this concession the patient and carer must provide photo ID to the police station. There is no provision for c…

Greetings friends! In case you hadn't heard already, Drug Law Reform Australia (druglawreform.com.au) plans to stand at the Federal Election in September, and be the voice for the country in changing drug laws, and giving the choice and liberty back to the people. The two main parties see drug law reform as a minor issue, even though it is debiliating to our health, justice, and social systems. Our prisons are spilling over with non-violent drug offenders, and massive amounts of Police resources are tied up in victimless drug crimes. Drug users are treated as criminals, and 'rehabilitated' using outdated moral and religious methods. It's time Australia took back it'…

I just thought I would bring this new group to everyone's attention if they have not heard of them already. http://www.druglawreform.com.au/ I have just come across this group and really think they can help make some changes. I received a call from President Greg Chipp after joining the group and the best way he said to help is to spread the message and let people know about them. Please check them out and show your support. I hope that I have broken no rules and have placed this in the correct section. Thanks.

You may have seen the launch of the "Drug Law Reform Party" in the media over the past couple of days. Whilst there are smaller parties around that have policies of drug law reform already, I think this one has a chance due to it's single issue focus and the fact we only need to get one represantitive into the senate to make people (and politicians) start to pay attention to the drug law issue. As well with the momentum of cannabis reform in the USA, the timing is quite good. I thought I would just post a link to their site where you can become a member or make a donation. http://www.druglawreform.com.au/new%20political%20party This might be our best chance of get…
