wouldnt it be nice to come home from your holiday and find 4 or 5 ounces stashed in your bags . compliments of the airport . An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say. A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security. Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in. Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials. "This case was extremely regrettable. I would like to deeply apologise," said Narita Inter…

The story is 4 months old, but I just heard about it today. http://rawstory.com/2009/2009/11/breckenri...-paraphernalia/ QUOTE: Voters in the ski resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado legalized marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia by a nearly three-to-one margin on Tuesday. It is the first municipality in the United States to allow paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs and bubblers. "[The measure] passed 73 percent to 27 percent," ABC 7 News in Denver reported. "'This votes demonstrates that Breckenridge citizens overwhelmingly believe that adults should not be punished for making the safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol,' said Sean McAllister, a Br…

Loud sex enough for cops to search your home, court rules For Brian McGacken of Farmingdale, New Jersey, an evening of loud sex resulted in a 10-year prison sentence for growing marijuana. On Feb. 17, 2007, New Jersey state troopers arrived at McGacken's home, responding to an anonymous 911 call complaining of screams coming from McGacken's home. McGacken explained the noise was a bout of loud sex; his girlfriend appeared at the front door and corroborated his claim. But officers searched his home anyway, and found enough marijuana -- including potted plants -- to put him away for 10 years on charges of producing a controlled substance. Appealing the conviction, McG…

Hi all...back again. After looking through the wording in the drugaware.com.au brochure "There are New Laws on Cannabis in Western Australia", it would seem that a CIN would only be issued if two plants were found per household, not per person in the household....does that seem right? "•possession by an adult of no more than two cannabis plants under cultivation at that person’s principal place of residence provided that the plants are not hydroponically grown and that no other person is growing other cannabis plants on the same premises - (penalty $200)" Also, the article that Phreak1987 linked seems to support this in the explanatory notes... " Subclause 7(2) d…

Dutch coffeeshops 'on strike' on election day http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/dutch-co...ke-election-day Published on : 12 March 2010 - 8:40pm | By Johan van Slooten Dutch "coffee shops", a euphemism for outlets selling soft-drugs, have announced they are going on strike on 9 June, the day the country will hold parliamentary elections. The idea behind closing for the day is to encourage all those who like to smoke a joint to get out and vote for the parties which will ensure that coffee shops will not be banned in the Netherlands. Nol van Schaik <http://nolvanschaik.info/index.html>, who owns a coffee shop in Haarlem, launched the campaign because he f…

Interesting times when 'big media' starts releasing stories like these. I'll kick off with a summary. The full article follows, and is fairly wide-ranging. Summary: "Politicians are finally catching up with the American public" Some good statistics here: A Gallup Poll last October found 44% of Americans favor making marijuana legal (as in outright legal for recreational use), an eight-point jump since the question was asked in 2005. An ABC News-Washington Post poll in January found 81% favor making marijuana legal for medical use. Try to find another political issue with that level of support. Also, * California considering outright legalization of cannabis, …

Hemp farming in sydneys backyard RICHARD FRIAR loves growing dope. His backyard on the northern beaches is full of the stuff - 500 plants, to be precise. But Mr Friar is no dealer, and this is no under ground plantation. The 66-year-old and his wife, Wendy, are proud owners of australias first licensed industrial hemp crop to be grown in an urban area. "I'd prefer you didn't publish exactly where we are," he says. "Even though this is no good for smoking, you can imagine what would happen if people found out. " The Friars are hemp evangelelists; firm believers in the world-changing potential of this most versatile of plants, which can be used for everything from…
