Australian net censorship law is being discussed

It saddens me to know that marijuana is illegal. Anyway... Theres was a post on Slashdot today about talk of a new internet censorship law. I had a read of the story and most of it is boring although the last paragraph of the page I read may interfere with this site, visitors and/or its owner so it may be wise to keep an eye on it. I openly condone and participate in the use of marijuana for recreation and medication although I would hopefully not do it on the internet if this vague law [the last paragraph] was introduced. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/08/...1261191860.html

By Nikki Voss and Nicole Cox August 10, 2003 AUSTRALIA'S leading relationship counselling body is urging lonely older single women to become lesbians. Relationships Australia spokesman Jack Carney said men's shorter life spans, and their pursuit of much younger women, meant women in their twilight years were often forced to turn to other women for love and companionship. Mr Carney said the government-funded support group encouraged older women to explore lesbian relationships, which were seen as more nurturing and emotionally supportive. Older women were even pooling their resources to buy property and making pacts to form couples if they did not find a male …

It's a glass spring valley juice bottle with a ~30 cm piece of pvc pipe, with stem n cone attached, in it and more affectionately referred to as a springer. I've been whole heartedly devoted to mine for some time only to find out they're really quite bad for your health (or so the woman at off ya tree told me) I inquired to whether they had pvc pipe and she began a small lecture on how the smoke reacts with the plastic and goes toxic or something like that. This has got me worried and was wondering if anyone can confirm this or tell me if they've heard anything similar. note: i know hose stems, foil cones, and gatorade chambers are a recipe for death and they taste li…

marijuana and anxiety levels 1 2

I've been a regular smoker for nearly a year now (previous use was scattered and rare), and I've definately paid a price for it. I've found that, not only are my anxiety levels increasing, but I'm finding it harder and harder to experience new situations, I'm withdrawing into my own mind too often. I've always been a quiet and shy person, and ever since I learnt enough about myself to understand, I've been trying to be more confident, and build more self-esteem. As much as I love my weed, I think it is the worst thing for me right now! I know I should stop smoking, or at least reduce my intake. I don't smoke very much, but only because I don't need much to get stoned. I…
