http://www.alternet.org/drugreporter/56753/ The Republican governor of Connectictut is the latest politician to look foolish for pushing tough anti-marijuana policies in the face of scientific data that proves the arguments hollow. When Connecticut's Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell vetoed legislation last month that would have allowed citizens with debilitating medical conditions to use medical cannabis under their doctor's supervision, she alleged that there was no proof of pot's therapeutic effectiveness and that legal alternatives are available by prescription.

Author: AAP Date: July 20, 2007 - 6:07AM Source: The Sydney Morning Herald Copyright: 2007, AAP "Cop price" analysis: 11.5kg = 25.35lbs. 25.35lbs for $100,000 = $3944/lb or $246/oz. For once an almost realistic "cop price" estimate- but ppl moving poundage like that are not likely to see that sort of money. Bulk rate of about ~$2K/lb sounds more likely.

PARIS — Teenagers see wine and spirits as "old France" and are increasingly turning to cannabis to let their hair down, according to a national study on its consumption. Jean-Michel Costes, head of the French drugs and addiction watchdog, OFDT*, said yesterday that French cannabis use has soared in the past 15 years and is now almost on a par with Britain. While the French drink half the amount they did in the 1960s, cannabis consumption among the 18–35 year olds has more than tripled since the early 1990s, the report found. France is now just behind Britain, Spain, Switzerland, and Europe's heaviest cannabis users, the Czech Republic. "There is a big cultural dif…

Breaking News - Canadian Marijuana laws declared unconstitutional http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/07/13/pot-toronto.html Lightening struck twice for Lawyer Brian McAllister of Ontario, Canada.

from smh.com.au Anyone hoping for a change from Labour may be in for disappointment. I still think his government would be less hard line though. Labour may be more likely to treat it as a health problem. Personally I am voting Greens next election.
