Cannabis Hemp News

Interesting article by some wank job in today's Sunday Mail. He seems to sway back and forth with which side he is on the argument, but he makes some pretty fucked up inconclusive statements. I thought I should write a letter to the editor, simply because it pissed me off so much that I thought it warranted one. The letter I sent reads: "This is in response to Terry Sweetman's disheartening and misinformed article titled "Drug epidemic is making us all sick". I'm sorry to hear that your perspective and opinions have been influenced so sickly by your prejudices and fear of the unknown. Sadly, this is the main view held by a society of double-standards. Judging by y…

Terror bill allows 'secret' police raids Wednesday Aug 8 12:06 AEST The Senate has passed a bill which will enable police investigating serious crimes to delay telling suspects that their properties have been searched. The Crimes Legislation (National Investigative Power and Witness Protection) bill, which will now be debated in the House of Representatives, would allow federal police to apply for delayed notification search warrants.

The warrants could be issued to police investigating federal crimes carrying sentences of 10 years or mo…

Another win for the 'good' guys. What a friggin joke, if these laws aren't designed to make criminals out of people who haven't committed any crime then I don't know what their point is. Has this guy actually hurt or disadvantaged anyone? Aren't laws meant to be there for the protection of society?

I read a report the other day that claimed the U.S. has more political prisoners than any other country on Earth. I dont doubt it. http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles…

MORE children of drug addicts should be removed from their parents and adopted out, Liberal MP Bronwyn Bishop believes. Ms Bishop, who is chairing a parliamentary inquiry into the impact of illicit drug use and families, believes the current system is skewed towards the interests of drug-using parents rather then their children. "We hear the mantra everything is done in the interest of the child, but evidence I've taken in, not only the inquiry I'm doing but other inquiries, show that lip service is paid to that but it's not in the interest of the child," Ms Bishop has told the ABC's Four Corners program. Ms Bishop said she wanted to see better opportunities for the…
