Cannabis Conspiracy Uncovered 26 June 2008 http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/417/27/ It would appear that, if the Police are unable to find an offence to charge you with but they take a dislike to you, its highly likely they will make one up, as the following story illustrates all too clearly. In answer to one of the biggest conspiracy theories attached to the British cannabis debate in recent times, three Derby men have had their convictions over-turned by the country's most senior Judge at the Court of Appeals. Back in January 08 and the talk of the British cannabis community was of the three hydroponic shop workers from Derby who had been convicted of the …

Prosecutor Andrew Preston says Health Department officials seized hundreds …

Steve Larkin June 23, 2008 03:25pm courier mail <http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23908072-953,00.html> PROPOSALS to use the drug ecstasy on war veterans to alleviate stress have drawn a lukewarm response from the Returned Services League. RSL national president Bill Crews said he was reluctant to support a call from an Australian Democrats MP to investigate using the drug on war veterans. South Australian Democrat Sandra Kanck said ecstasy's key ingredient, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, could be used to alleviate post-traumatic stress disorders. "This is not a new idea," Ms Kanck said. "It is being trialled in the United States and Israel…

This seems a little old news now, but it's just come to my attention the coppers that pulled the raid on the terrified school kids at goose crk. USA have lost their law suit and need to pay the students 1.2 million dollars, to be divided equaly between the kids. Fuck, seems to me they deserved that much each. A racially motivated raid, a school primarily of mixed race children was raided full on with loaded cocked ready to fire pistols drawn on frightened children as they cowered from, attack trained dogs. Somebody please tell me this is not the future.. I beliveve BTW no drugs were found. So just be careful when you get tempted into believing the horror stories o…

How elite agents went off the rails - Officers stand by claims of corruption in AFP John Kidman and Steve Barrett June 22, 2008 http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/06/21/...400.html?page=2 THEY were the untouchables, an elite band of Australian Federal Police, some of whom insiders say were no better than "gangsters with police badges". Their headquarters were Redfern's landmark TNT twin towers, where extramarital conquests and drunken "happy hour" parties were common. It was the 1980s and, as one former officer of the 35-strong AFP Sydney drug investigation unit recalls, it was like "living inside a grubby episode of Miami Vice". Memories of the heady days of th…

Pot grower avoids jail Submit comment June 20, 2008 11:55am Mercury http://www.news.com.au/mercury/story/0,228...87-3462,00.html A TASMANIAN man who was found not guilty of trafficking cannabis but convicted of having 4kg of the drug in his pocession has been given a suspended jail sentence. Justice Peter Evans said Paul Darren Enright, of Kimberley, had been smoking cannabis since he was 15 years old and had been convicted of drug charges in 1990. "That did not deter you from growing cannabis again," Justice Evans told Enright. The 39-year-old admitted growing six plants but told the court he had not planned to on-sell the crop. "You claimed you did not intend …

Cannabis convictions hit poorest, hardest PR.Canna Zine 22 June 2008 http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/410/27/ Cannabis convictions in the United Kingdom are hitting those with the lowest incomes hardest, and due to how the law is meted out, low-income family's will often find themselves punished for cannabis possession not once and sometimes even not twice, but three times, by the time the drug is paid for by the user, then confiscated by police, and then a fine (or worse) handed down by the courts. For a substance which is inherently safer than tobacco or alcohol, something isn't right about this. According to a spokesman for Pro-reform cannabis news websi…

Paid doctors just drug spruikers, says insider Nick Miller June 21, 2008 http://www.theage.com.au/national/paid-doc...80620-2u8x.html PHARMACEUTICAL companies consider the doctors in their pay to be little more than salespeople spruiking their products, a drug industry whistleblower has admitted in a prestigious medical journal. In response, the British Medical Journal has called for medical leaders to stop accepting personal payments for promoting a company's drug or device. Companies pay "key opinion leader" doctors up to $6000 a day to deliver lectures to boost sales of new drugs. They give them slides for their presentations and train them in what to say and w…

A fresh take rose perfume 03:56 PM CDT on Friday, June 20, 2008 BY CHANDLER BURR / Special to The Dallas Morning News http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...n1.2684cef.html Rose is the ultimate perfume paradigm, but today, this is strangely more theory than reality. It is universally known within the industry that the smell of rose does quite poorly in focus groups and, to perfume buyers, reads "old lady." This is why you read disproportionately more about rose in press materials (you like the idea of rose scent) than you actually smell rose in perfumes (the reality makes you think of your grandmother). But a rose revolution has been going for a while. …
