10:00 PM PDT on Saturday, October 11, 2008 By JULISSA McKINNON The Press-Enterprise A pot grower who advertised marijuana for sale on the classified advertising Web site Craigslist thought he was exchanging e-mails with a potential buyer earlier this week.

After several e-mails and phone calls, undercover agents from the Hemet Police Department's Crime Suppression Unit struck a deal with the grower to buy two ounces of high-grade marijuana, according to a police news release.

A 69-YEAR-OLD woman was left shocked and disgusted after receiving cannabis seeds in the post. Lorna Flint said she contacted police after the seeds were sent to her without warning, along with a glossy catalogue from a firm in Denmark.

What About The Average Dope Smoker? PR Cannazine 2 October 2008 http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/700/27/ The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) are really starting to gain a reputation as another bunch of quacks pushing their own brand of junk science onto the community. And according to one Ozzie blogger "The Australian" is the perfect vehicle to publish their crap. As usual, these organisations rely on a tiny fraction of the group they target and somehow make them the representatives of the whole group.
