I don't really know what to make of this but Mike Straumatis, the owner of AN, is basically grassing his competition on a public video cast. The whole thing is strange because the allegations are based on the hearsay of an ex employee of the people he is trying to grass.????? WTF http://www.growersunderground.com/bellyofthebeast/

A 29-year-old tourist from the Philippines has spent five days in custody after Australian Customs officials mistook iced tea for drugs. Tourist, Maria Silva bought three 800 gram bags of Nestle iced tea on her way to the airport in Manila before her flight to Melbourne. On arrival at Melbourne Airport she was detected by sniffer dogs and arrested by Customs. Customs' initial tests showed the packets contained 2.44 kilograms of methamphetamines. Customs later revised its results to amphetamines and Ms Silva was charged with importing a commercial quantity of drugs into Australia. It was only after she spent five days in custody, unable to contact family or frien…

Fair enough this isn't Canna related. But it similar in regards to medicinal extracts from other plants for either possible cures or general well-being. It's quite refreshing news that science is looking towards natural remedies, than the same old synthetic crap they like to palm off onto us. Anyway, enough outta me. I'll let the reports do the talking. Source: www.news.com.au Source: www.goldcoast.com.au

What this man has done is taken a process that typically costs about $1000 to make a chip the size of a postage stamp that can tell 1000 phenotypic traits, and turned it into a $.01 chip for identifying diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.

Allright as you all know, Vaping is considered to be safer than incineration right? and when vaping only 2 carcinogens are present. Well NCPIC says that's not true! they claimed that there are high ammounts of Ammonia in vaporised plant material particularly Cannabis. Well.... I'd just like to clear things up. 1. Ammonia is not a Carcinogen 2. (something i have known for years) Ammonia is also a natural byproduct of your bloodstream 3. Small ammounts of Ammonia are not harmful it's poisonous true, but only in large ammounts 4. There are not large ammounts of Ammonia in Cannabis vapour otherwise it would have the unmistakeable cat piss scent. MYTH BUDSTED sources? …
