Here's more hate from the USA. Why do stories, even in high brow rags like The Economist, always focus on the supply side of Cannabis ? There wouldn't be a supply side without demand. What kind of economic reportage is this anyways ?? Home-grown Oct 18th 2007 | CHINO HILLS From The Economist print edition Forget wine—California's biggest crop is bright green and funny-smelling SUBURBS don't come much tidier than Chino Hills, 30 miles (50 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. Last year, the neighbourhood of coffee-coloured stucco houses and three-car garages boasted an average household income twice that of the nation as a whole. In Vista del Sol, one of its quiet enclav…

A woman who accepted a package from a garda dressed as a postman has been found not guilty of possessing cannabis for sale or supply. Judge Patrick McCartan said that the evidence in the case had been "tampered with".

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=258445 Top UK cop says legalize all drugs Monday Oct 15 21:02 AEST One of Britain's most senior police officers is set to call for the legalization of all drugs. Chief Constable of North Wales Richard Brunstrom said drugs, including heroin and cocaine, should be legalized in a shift away from a failed UK policy based on "prohibition", The Independent newspaper reported. "If policy on drugs is in future to be pragmatic not moralistic, driven by ethics not dogma, then the current prohibitionist stance will have to be swept away as both unworkable and immoral," Brunstrom was quoted as saying in the newspaper. Brunstrom said …

In recent times stories have done the rounds of super-strength cannabis or skunk that can be up to 20 or 30 times more potent than it was a decade ago. New research released in the UK last week suggests that although there does appear to be a small rise in potency, there is little evidence that super-strength skunk is dominating the market. Two studies analysed nearly 550 samples of so-called skunk seized by the police. Both concluded that the average content of the main psychoactive agent in skunk strains of cannabis, THC, has doubled from seven percent in 1995 to 14 percent in 2005, contradicting recent claims that most of the skunk on sale in Britain now routinely ha…

The destructive impact of cannabis on indigenous communities was rammed home to Coroner Alastair Hope yesterday as he was confronted with more proof of the squalor endured by Aboriginal communities in the Kimberley. A young Aboriginal man living in a remote community in the Fitzroy Valley told Mr Hope he had been admitted to Graylands Hospital twice because of heavy cannabis use. Kelvin Gordon, 26, said many young people in his community of Yiyili, 180km east of Fitzroy Crossing, smoked the drug. He said he had spent a month in Graylands psychiatric hospital but no longer used cannabis. Mr Hope spent the day visiting indigenous communities on the outskirts of Fitzroy …

Research from Otago University's long-running Christchurch Health and Development study released yesterday showed 25-year-olds more commonly drove while under the influence of cannabis than alcohol. The Otago University figures supported Environmental Science and Research (ESR) data published by The Press this week which gave the first glimpse of the huge problem of…

MPP Update #29 The Federal War on Marijuana Becomes a War on Children 2007-09-10 >> legal category >> MPP Update By Dan Bernath Automatic weapons. Check. Helicopters. Check. Dogs. Check. Bulletproof vests. Check. You may not buy the government's characterization of its campaign against medical marijuana patients as a "war on drugs," but increasingly violent, militaristic tactics in recent months offer a troubling glimpse into the federal law enforcement community's mentality: To them, this is war. Raids on medical marijuana dispensaries throughout California July 17 by federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents, often with local law en…

Strong Canadian dollar said hurting pot exports VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - The strong Canadian dollar has hit the illegal marijuana sector just as it has other industries that export to the United States, one of Canada's best known legalization advocates said on Thursday. But western marijuana growers have also benefited from Canada's strong economy, especially the booming Alberta oil patch, which has increased domestic consumption, according to Marc Emery, a founder of the British Columbia Marijuana Party. The Canadian dollar touched parity with the U.S. dollar last week, topping a rise of some 60 percent over the past five years. On Thursday, it was still…
