This was a forum I went to on April 30th - 4/20 the "Hippy New Year" as we call it. It was very educational with speakers from all across the Country and quite a few medical patienst like myself. There were around 100 people there that day while planned "Smoke Outs" were going on all over Toronto, Niagara Falls and elsewhere across Canada. I spoke to Joe at length that day as did many others... I'll keep you posted if and when other stories come from this reporter. It was a great day overall.... Enjoy!

* Illicit drug use cost business $3.3bn * Causing reduced workforces, absenteeism * Problem more "balanced business-type approach" THE authors of a new study showing illicit drug use cost Australian business $3.3 billion in one year say the law enforcement approach to drugs has failed to protect people and commerce. The Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation today released what it claims is the first known Australian study to quantify the cost of illicit drug use. The foundation said illicit drug use in 2003 cost Australian business $3.3 billion, or two per cent of that year's corporate profits. Reduced workforce, absenteeism The Three Billion Dollar Que…

How cannabis led my boy to become a heroin addict CANNABIS has, for decades, been seen in some quarters as nothing more than a hippy drug. Whether they call it ganja, weed, dope, grass, many people insist it's a harmless way to unwind. At one stage it appeared even the Government was leaning towards that view too - in 2004, laws against cannabis were relaxed. It was declassified and made a class C drug. Advert for SuperScotCasino But in recent months alarming evidence has emerged about its side-effects, particularly the link to psychosis and mental illness - one modern derivation of cannabis, skunk, is ten times stronger than the homegrown pot smoked back in the 196…

Cannabis smoke 'here to stay' By Sabine Fiedler in Amsterdam COULD a smoking ban spell the end of Amsterdam's world famous coffee shops, where smoking cannabis is one of the main attractions? No chance, says local conservative politician and coffee shop owner Michael Veling. The Dutch may well follow other European countries in banning tobacco smoking in restaurants, cafes and bars, but Veling says it should still be possible to smoke dope. "It is ridiculous to think that a smoking ban would be the end of coffee shops," the 50-year-old Veling says. TOBACCO BAN WON’T CLOSE THE JOINT He says the clientele who have been coming to coffee shops to buy and inhal…

Check out this article from The Age March 25: http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/the...4597954395.html I really don't think people are switching to E's when they normally smoke weed but I certainly haven't been able to get any pot recently although I only have a couple of dealers which both seem to be dry at the moment.

NIMBIN, Australia (Reuters) - The pungent smell of marijuana fills the air outside The Rainbow Cafe in Australia's hippy capital Nimbin as a shopkeeper smokes a joint during a coffee break. Across the road the Hemp Embassy is busy with shoppers inspecting bongs and pipes, as well as hemp T-shirts and hats, while a few enjoy a joint of marijuana in a side room. "Hey mister, want some weed," says a voice in a dark corner of the Nimbin Museum, a cave-like labyrinth which tells of the hippy birth of Nimbin following the Aquarius Festival in 1973. Selling and smoking marijuana may be illegal in Australia, but in Nimbin on Australia's fertile northeast coast authorities u…

The State Flying Squad joined the city's police in the raids, with more than $1000 worth of stolen property also seized from Belgium and Hume streets in South Toowoomba in the operation. Senior Constable Stuart Standeaven said police were making inquiries about the f…

http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g270/reecePhotophucket/th_addiction_.jpg © 2007 ABC. A few months ago I predicted the introduction of a "treatment" for drug users which would permanently alter their brain chemistry making them "immune" from drugs. Whether they are endogenous (like endorphin or anandamide) or exogenous (like heroin, nicotine or pot) drugs are a natural and very important part of life. ABC's Catalyst has been pointed out on this forum before for its government-friendly "War on Drugs" stance. An example was when they reported some morgue findings about a year ago regarding the presence of cannabis in car crash victims as supposed to be showing that m…
