HERALD SUN,,, DRUG dealers are putting their lives at risk by stealing electricity to grow hydroponic crops, Queensland's Parliament has been told. Energy Minister Geoff Wilson said today electricity theft was getting worse, with one drug grower dying after illegally trying to hook up power to his home. He said in the past three weeks three growers had been caught, including one in north Queensland who used stolen electricity to cultivate one of the state's largest hydroponic drug crops. Power company Ergon Energy has now appointed an inspector to head a program to tackle the problem. "People who do this are not only endangering their own lives, but also putting…

HERALD SUN Dutch to roll world's biggest joint From correspondents in The Hague November 22, 2006 04:53am Article from: Agence France-Presse Font size: + - Send this article: Print Email DEFYING police warnings, a Dutch group is set to roll the world's biggest joint, sending the previous record for a marijuana cigarette up in smoke. The world's largest joint will be a 500g, metre-long monstrosity, rolled with cigarette paper and easily dwarfing the previous 100g winner, ANP news agency reported overnight. To beat the record, it must be made entirely of marijuana with no tobacco mix. "Afterwards we'll light it up," predicted event organiser Thijs Verh…

Perth's Adelaide Terrace (turns into St Georges Terrace past Victoria Ave) is home to many corporate cannabis users. Some duck out the back for a quiet joint after work, some smoke in the alleyways on the way to their Friday Beer'o'Clock local, some just toke openly while walking down the Terrace at lunchtime or on the way home. Nobody really cares, it's not uncommon and a quick glance around usually reveals smirks and winks as our favourite bouquet wafts on the air. But this week, a bucket bong was found in the toilet cistern of the building where I work Building management aren't too happy (or knowledgeable) and sent out an email to all tenants asking for the act…

Tue Nov 14, 2006 1:30pm ET TORONTO (Reuters) - The use of medical marijuana has given two Toronto professors the right to something that many students could only dream of -- access to specially ventilated rooms where they can indulge in peace. The two, at the esteemed University of Toronto and at York University to the north of the city, suffer from chronic medical conditions that some doctors say can be eased by smoking marijuana. They are among nearly 1,500 Canadians who have won the right to use the drug for health reasons. Using human rights legislation, the two petitioned their employers for the right…

POLICE yesterday uncovered one of the most extensive hydroponic drug productions in the state's history. STAR group officers stormed a warehouse on Benjamin St, Newton, about 5.30am and seized more than $50,000 worth of hydroponic equipment and 70 seedlings. Superintendent Paul Dickson said the find was significant, as the elaborate set-up had the potential to produce 21,000 street hits of cannabis every two to three months. "It must be one of the most extensive hydroponic crop set-ups that's ever been located by SA police," Supt Dickson said. "While the plants themselves weren't that big, it had the potential." A man, 39, was arrested at the warehouse. Another ma…

NEW YORK -- In a city where you can get just about anything delivered to your door -- groceries, dry cleaning, Chinese food -- pot smokers are ordering takeout marijuana from drug rings that operate with corporate-style attention to customer satisfaction. An untold number of otherwise law-abiding professionals in New York are having their pot delivered to their homes instead of visiting drug dens or hanging out on street corners. Among the legions of home delivery customers is Chris, a 37-year-old salesman in Manhattan. He dials a pager number and gets a return call from a cheery dispatcher who takes his order for potent strains of marijuana. Within a couple of hour…

Child sex, drug allegations A SENIOR NSW Government Minister has been charged with buying drugs to procure child prostitution, sexual assault, and paying for sex with a 16-year-old boy using taxpayer-funded electoral funds. The allegations yesterday plunged NSW Premier Morris Iemma into a new crisis, as he was forced to sack a second minister in two weeks and announce yet another reshuffle of his front bench. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Milton Orkopoulos was arrested at 7.30 yesterday morning at his home in Belmont, Lake Macquarie, and charged with 30 offences. He was released from Newcastle Court late yesterday on $20,000 bail. Mr Iemma said he was not informed u…

Marijuana Strategic Findings * Asian criminal groups3 are expanding their position relative to wholesale distribution of Canada-produced, high potency marijuana in every region of the country. In fact, increasing distribution of high potency marijuana by Asian criminal groups as well as expansion of domestic high potency marijuana production appears to be significantly raising the average potency of marijuana in U.S. drug markets, elevating the threat posed by the drug. * The amount of marijuana available to domestic drug markets appears to be increasing slightly. This increase, coupled with decreasing demand for the drug, will quite likely result in lower pr…
