http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/christmas-island-medical-cannabis-plan-community-expresses-concern-20151228-glw2nj.html Plans to grow Australia's first commercial crop of medical cannabis at Christmas Island have met resistance from some locals, who fear that islanders won't see the financial benefits and drugs may end up in the hands of local youths. The cannabis proposal is the latest of a series of developments that have raised the ire of Christmas Island residents, who say the controversial detention centre damages efforts to grow the island's tourism industry and a reduction in the frequency of government-contracted planes means mail…

Drug Law Reform Australia ALERT: Draconian Drug Laws proposed in Victoria. An unpublicised amendment to the “Ice” legislation makes it a crime, punishable by 5 years jail, to possess information about cultivating a drug of dependence (aka Cannabis). Surely this form of censorship is a bridge too far in the escalating war on drugs? What do you think? The ban includes the possession of books, magazines and web pages. Read for yourself this extraordinary legislation called, the “Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Amendment Bill 2015”, particularly section 71E and 71F which passed the Victorian lower house on the 25th November. http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/static…

I have no trust whatsoever in the police any more. Steve HuntThe case triggered NSW Health to begin double-testing samples, but that was too late for Mr Hunt, who was forced to p…

http://www.themercury.com.au/news/opinion/talking-point-drugdriving-injustice-must-be-addressed/news-story/31f8c07b5f3ea65b0eda50581dcb113f ON Friday, Tony Mulder, a Legislative Council MP and former senior member of Tasmania Police articulated in the Talking Point pages the unfairness of the drink-driving law regime in this state. The other area of road safety regulation that is also grossly inequitable and offensive to the rule of law is the drug-driving regime. Australia was the first country in the world to adopt drug-driving laws, with Tasmania being the second jurisdiction to adopt such laws in 2005. In Tasmania, police can randomly stop drivers and test their s…

I attended a medical cannabis workshop recently and heard Ketalaris speak. Found his talk engaging and very educational, clarified a lot of what I've read as well covering new ground for me. I subsequently come across this interesting article on Ketalaris which is part 4 of a series looking at the medical cannabis debate. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/interactive/2015/medical-marijuana-doctor/ Part 1: Cannabis kids Part 2: The politics of pot Part 3: Pain, and a future on hold Part 4: Dr Pot Part 5: A mother's promise
