Was anyone able to pick up the latest Independent Weekly - it featured a large, healthy shade leaf and a headline to the effect that Adelaide is the marijuana capital of Australia or some such. I suspect it's a stupid sensationist article designed to pull in the weekend readership (ooh, vice!) but maybe I'm being too hard on the paper - it used to be a fairly bright paper.

If Adelaide is the marijuana capital of Australia why do I never bump into other smokers - it's crazy!

Tough drug laws hidden away DESPITE Premier Mike Rann's tough talk to stamp out "evil" drug lords who use children as traffickers, his Government has failed to commence new laws targeting drug dealing activities. The laws were passed exactly one-year ago, creating more severe penalties for drug dealers but the Government has stopped them from becoming operational. Drug dealers who sell, supply or administer drugs to children should be facing maximum penalties of life imprisonment and, or, a $1 million fine. But the State Government, which promised to commence the law this year, has stalled its introduction while bureaucratic red-tape holds up other tough new drug la…

HERALD SUN A MEDICAL marijuana user plans to see in the New Year on an all-time high - by rolling the world's biggest joint.
