This week is dedicated to those who suffer from Autism or ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) so please donate if you see a collection. MJ is one drug that can help adult sufferers with anxiety associated with ASD's, most of you probably know or are related to somebody that has an ASD. 1 in every 160 Australians are now born with an ASD (as my son has just been diagnosed with moderate Autism), which is massive odds, it's increased 10 fold in the last decade and has gone 'under the radar' so to speak. So keep it in mind this week guys and please donate if you can!

Modern life: Drug rap doesn't wash This story is so odd, we have to tell it straight. The Los Angeles Times reports that last week police stopped Don Bolles, the drummer with the punk band the Germs, on his way to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. His van had a broken tail-light. Inside the van, police say, they found "a toiletry kit containing denture glue, razors and a bottle of Dr Bronner's Magic Soap (peppermint fragrance)". A field test of the liquid soap allegedly indicated it contained GHB, a date-rape drug. Bolles was arrested for felony narcotics possession. The soap company's chief executive, David Bronner, heard of the arrest and hired Bruce Margolin, a …

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=157547 I know it's nothing world changing this bit of news, but it really strcuk a chord with me the poor sod. Like life's not bad enough for a sick bloke, sufferoing schitozphrenia, but to spend 22 years in jail for something not only you are innocnet of, but a foul horrible thing to have pople consider of you aswell... I haven't got the link, it's on my crashed computer. But another sad story of American "justice", is the guy that made it common knowledge how the Bush family made their family fortune (bank-rolling the Nazi war machine) is in jail indefinately. He's been accused of terrorism I believe, for no more than inv…

HOSPITALS have endured a fourfold increase in cases of drug-induced psychosis in the past decade, fuelled by addiction to dangerous stimulants, landmark research shows. Drug experts and emergency doctors have warned that the problem of addiction to methamphetamines – ice, crystal meth and speed – is set to escalate unless funds are urgently redirected into health and social services. New research published in the Medical Journal of Australia has estimated that synthetic drugs are responsible for more than one in every 100 emergency presentations. A significant number of patients were aggressive, agitated, arrived by ambulance and required "extensive resources" like …

News Ltd today reported that organisers of the Big Day Out at Homebush had decided they would confiscate any flag or bandana featuring the national symbol at the gates. Event organiser Ken West was quoted as saying fans' behaviour last year in the wake of the Cronulla riots and the recent ethnic violence at the Australian Open tennis tournament had forced his hand. "The Australian flag was being used as gang colours. It was racism disguised as patriotism and I'm not going to tolerate it," Mr West said. BDO organisers issued a statement this morning saying the flag was not banned, but they said they did not want concert-goers taking it into the event. "We are not b…
