Cannabis importer's cunning plan not so clever Monday, 16 June 2008 http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/4586047a12855.html A Christchurch man's cunning plan to spell his name backwards when he ordered cannabis over the internet was not enough to put the authorities off the scent. Michael Gary Davis, a 28-year-old technician, stood in the Christchurch District Court dock to hear his offending described as naive and amateurish. He was appearing before Judge John Strettell for sentence after pleading guilty to importing 20 seeds of the class C drug. Defence counsel Grant Tyrrell explained: "He had been consuming alcohol and was trawling through the internet and thought it …

ABC Queensland Posted June 2, 2008 14:05:00 http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06...tm?site=idx-qld A 44-year-old Sunshine Coast man has appeared in the Supreme Court in Brisbane charged with establishing a hydroponic drug crop inside his Buderim home in the state's south-east. The court heard Scott David Woodforth was found by police last year with almost four kilograms of cannabis sativa, which he had cultivated from two plants growing under lights in a hidden room. Woodforth admitted to being a heavy user of the drug for pain relief after a car accident and said that he had grown it so he would not have to go to drug dealers. Justice Rosyln Atkinson ac…

Author: Date:12/06/2008 Source: news.com.au Copyright: Buddhist Monk on dope charge A BUDDHIST monk has pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis found at his laundrette Argentinian-born monk Jose Maria Sanz-Tonnelier, 63, did not appear in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court this morning, where he was due to face a hearing on drug supply charges.

Author: James Slack Date: 13th May 2008 Source: The Mail Copyright: 2008 Associated Newspapers Ltd Now cannabis dealers will escape jail despite government pledge for tougher punishments Cannabis dealers will escape jail, despite Gordon Brown's decision to reclassify the drug, it emerged last night. The U-turn was supposed to signal tougher punishments for those who flout the law. But, under papers issued by the Sentencing Guidelines Council yesterday, magistrates will still be advised that a community order may be satisfactory for those who push Class B substances, the new grade for cannabis. This is despite the maximum penalty being a 14-year pri…

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44730000/jpg/_44730017_house_thermogram466.jpg By Julian Joyce BBC News By toughening the law on cannabis the government hopes to drive a crackdown on UK "farms", many of which have sprung up in recent years. In the cellar beneath Jimmy's house, cannabis seedlings flourish under bright lights. Upstairs, taking over half the attic, more mature plants flower in lamp-lit trays, amid the hum of automatic water and nutrient delivery systems. This is "hydroponic" cannabis - grown without soil in trays. Jimmy's indoor "farm" is one of many to have sprung up behind the walls and closed curtains of houses across the UK in recent year…

I had a quick look through the topics and didn't notice that anyone else had posted this so here 'tis. It is from 2006 so I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been sourced but it is a good refresher Interesting article about the largest marijuana study ever done and there being found to be no correlation between smokin' weed and cancer. Apparently THC actually kills aging cells and stops them from becoming cancerous. I haven't read much deeper into the study or the studies that show there is a correlation but at the moment this article makes me happy and I suppose that's what counts. Take that right wing fascists . Fism Author: Marc Kaufman Date: May 26, 2…

I cant find any references anywhere to his son even being arrested, so I can follow the trial dates through to see if its him. Just disappeared the story right the hell off the interweb. Little help?
