POLICE sniffer dogs succumbed to the heat yesterday, only catching 30 Melbourne Big Day Out revellers with small amounts of drugs. The two dogs, called to monitor the Big Day Out for the first time in the event's history, went home after 3 1/2 hours as searing temperatures forced their minders to call it a day. Inspector Paul Tottage said the dogs could not handle the muggy weather. "They just got too hot," he said. "It was too humid for them." The dogs found small amounts of cannabis and ecstasy on patrons. None of those caught with drugs were transferred to police stations, and 11 were placed on drug diversion programs. "The hit rate for the dogs has been rela…

Evidence is mounting that heavy marijuana use can increase the chances of developing severe mental illness for some adolescents whose genes put them at added risk. The link between cannabis and psychosis gained ground this week when two influential medical journals reviewed the research to date and concluded it was persuasive. In PLoS Medicine, Professor Wayne Hall, a public health policy expert at the University of Queensland, wrote that genetically vulnerable teenagers who smoke marijuana more than once a week "appear at greater risk of psychosis". An article in the British medical journal BMJ cited estimates that marijuana could contribute to about 10 per cent of p…

Regular cannabis use can have "real and significant" mental health effects but is unlikely to cause schizophrenia, according to a report from Government drugs advisers published yesterday. The drug can impair psychological and psychomotor performance, cause acute intoxication reactions and lead to relapses of individuals with mental illnesses. Charles Clarke Charles Clarke proposes to keep cannabis as a Class C drug But the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs said that on current evidence smoking cannabis was likely to increase the chances of developing schizophrenia by just one per cent. The council, which was asked to reconsider the Government's decision to …

In a move likely to increase pressure on federal and state governments to allow medicinal use of the drug, Richard Mattick, chairman of the national cannabis strategy, said the Therapeutic Goods Administration determined the effectiveness and safety of medication, and cannabis should be treated the same way. The TGA's role was to approve new therapeutics in Australia and it was up to it to determine whether medication was safe and eff…

The Dubbo-based initiative will run for the next four weeks, with members of the public urged to come forward with any information they may have regarding suspected drug activity.

Source : Sky News Active on Austar Digital. I just found it hilarious that not are they only 2 years behind in mentioning one of these systems, they mentioned it by name so commercial growers can get more for their money but after considering that for a few seconds, they might have mentioned the name of the product so commercial growers will buy the systems so the police can track the growers down via their order

Marijuana growers have gathered in Europe's pot-smoking capital for a trade show that is taking on the trappings of a major industry fair, complete with scantily clad models, glossy brochures and, of course, samples. But instead of posing next to muscle cars, the models explained the intricacies of hydroponics culture such as the "iGrow-box Intensive Irrigation System" and exhibitors showed off their bongs, grinders, rolling paper, reflective film, hemp-fabric apparel and how-to marijuana growing videos. "This gives you an uplifting high, up in the mind, not in your body," marijuana cultivator Arjan Roskam said of his latest Cannabis Cup-winning strain, Arjan's Haze #…

CHRISANTHI GIOTIS Tuesday, 17 January 2006 While drugs may have played a role in many of Andy Warhol's 1960s artworks, it's not often art galleries hold an exhibition dealing with the subject of drugs. That's why the Dubbo Regional Gallery (DRG) is pretty excited about the exhibition that opened last weekend and will continue until March 12. Drugs: A Social History was first organised for the Justice and Police Museum, Sydney by the Historic Houses Trust and is now on at the DRG exhibition space at the Dubbo Branch Macquarie Regional Library. The exhibition brings fascinating facts to light - like past medical practices that included prescribing heroin for relief …
