Cannabis Dependence by Paul DILLon- What a load of BS by Jess Stone! Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in Australia, and in western society in general. Most people use it intermittently, experimenting with it once or twice or regularly over a short period of time. However, some people do experience great problems with the drug and continue to use cannabis even when it begins to have adverse effects on their life. For a long time there was a widespread belief that cannabis was not a drug of dependence and you could not become addicted. This belief was due to an apparent absence of tolerance to the effects of cannabis or of a withdrawal syndrome, particula…

IT is obvious that some people in the northern NSW town of Nimbin have chosen to be deliberately obtuse and are determined not to face the scientific facts about marijuana. How else can their staging of yet another Mardi Grass be interpreted? This event is wrongly called a festival. There is nothing joyous about people gathering to celebrate a drug that has a proven record of triggering psychosis and schizophrenia. The enthusiastic acolytes of marijuana, who will parade up and down the main street of Nimbin this weekend, dare not read the findings of the world's top neurologists in the past decade or those of Antonio Maria Costa, the executive director of the United N…

Police say outback Indigenous drug smuggling growing Police say the trafficking of cannabis and other drugs is on the rise in South Australia's outback Aboriginal communities. More than a year ago South Australian, Western Australian and Northern Territory police created a substance abuse desk so they could work together to stop alcohol and petrol being smuggled into outback towns. Port Augusta police Superintendent Peter Anderson says while the project and the roll-out of Opal fuel has curbed alcohol abuse and petrol sniffing, more people are now turning to other drugs. "Sadly the focus is now moving towards cannabis and other illicit drugs, so the need for our j…

Time to give Nimbin a fair go by S.Sorrensen Nimbin is a little town that tends to get up the authorities’ noses. Always has, since a bunch of long-haired, peace-loving, rebellious, alternative types invaded the village by Kombi in 1973. Authorities didn’t like Nimbin then. Somehow Nimbin has always given us a glimpse of our future. The village is a microcosm, previewing the impending issues of broader society. Issues like the environment and drugs. Every year thousands of people flock to Nimbin’s MardiGrass. It’s a cannabis law reform rally, a festival... a party. Call it what you will. There’s the Kombi Konvoy which splutters its way from Byron to Nimbin. Some of them…

Australia's binge-drinking culture is a "ticking time bomb" threatening to overload the public health system within decades, health experts have warned. A rise in dangerous drinking across all age groups, class boundaries and cultural lines has prompted calls for action. Top researchers predict Australia will see a big rise in chronic diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, cancers and brain disorders in the next 20 years. Addiction doctors say they are seeing a growing trend of drinkers as young as 18 suffering tremors, sweats and even seizures. Many are drinking a bottle of spirits a day, with experts predicting a rise in brain-damage cases. Those in the field …

HEADING to Nimbin and thinking you might risk taking along some of your best home grown? Here’s the front row line-up of the team you’ll need to avoid.

Just found this.... Love and stuff, Ali xx AlterNet http://www.alternet.org/drugreporter/51277/ New Studies Destroy the Last Objection to Medical Marijuana By Bruce Mirken, AlterNet. Posted May 2, 2007. New research on "vaporization" has demonstrated that all those fears about the ill effects of smoking marijuana are 100 percent obsolete. Anyone who advocates for medical marijuana sooner or later runs into arguments about smoking: "No real medicine is smoked." "Smoking is bad for the lungs; why would any doctor recommend something so harmful?" It's a line of reasoning that medical marijuana opponents have used to great effect in Congress, s…

Thought you all might be interested in this... Enjoy! Love and a squish, Alison xx This Bud Is Not For You By Willy Noiles – View Magazine April 27, 2007 Critics say Health Canada is profiting off the sick and dying after it was revealed the government–run agency is charging patients 15 times more for medicinal marijuana than it pays to buy weed in bulk. Records obtained by the Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act reveal that Health Canada has a 1,500 per cent mark–up on the marijuana it gets from its sole supplier. “It makes me sick to know this is happening, that this is how Health Canada treats people,” says Burlington activist a…
