A PLUMSTEAD man is on trial accused of being part of a gang of cannabis farmers who converted four homes into state-of-the-art factories producing bumper crops. Tuan Nguyen, 29, of Plumstead High Street appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Friday with four other Vietnamese men. The court heard the gang boosted profits by powering its suburban farms with stolen electricity. The homes, including one in Wricklemarsh Road, Blackheath, were equipped with hi-tech hydroponics systems that yielded harvests of 40kg - worth £120,000 - every six weeks. Special light bulbs, air filters and extractor fans were powered with energy stolen through the main street cables. Electrical…

A 17-year-old on bail for firearms offences is alleged to have led a gang on a three-day crime spree which totalled tens of thousands of dollars. Goods totalling more than $70,000 were stolen during the rampage, which extended from Darwin to Katherine. Police allege the 17-year-old male and three females, aged 15, 17 and 18, broke into several homes in Darwin's CBD after attending a party together last Friday night. The gang is then believed to have stolen a vehicle in Darwin after the 17-year-old ringleader failed to report to police as a condition of his bail. The gang members then drove to Katherine, where they allegedly carried out up to five break-and-enters be…

A LAVINGTON woman who carried cannabis with her when visiting her father in Junee jail should have been sentenced to community service, a magistrate said in Albury Court yesterday. But Mr Tony Murray said Kaylah Maree Millar was deemed unsuitable in a pre-sentence report for that order because of her drug problem. Mr Murray said he regarded as serious offences involving people taking drugs into jails. He said he would take into account Millars drug problem, convicted her and put her on a two-year bond. She was ordered to attend counselling, courses or programs as directed, submit to urine analysis and was fined $400. Millar, 18, of Glenelg Drive, sought to …

A garage fire caused by faulty wiring led to the discovery of $2.2 million worth of marijuana plants in a home in the Sunset District, authorities said. The incident began when firefighters, summoned to the residence at 2359 20th Ave. at 11 p.m. Thursday, spotted the operation. The fire was quickly put out. Police arrived and entered the three-story home, which had marijuana growing in every room, said Capt. Tim Hettrich of the narcotics detail. Hettrich said 2,642 plants -- in various stages of growth -- were found. Police also found 14 pounds of marijuana ready for sale, he said.

If anybody's interested there's an email petition to stop the death penalty if Shappelle Corby is found guilty in Indo. Emails should be sent to: minister.downer@dfat.gov.au This isn't a question of innocence - it's about pot people and whether you should die for having a weed that nature gave us. So if anyone has time please send one to our foreign minister who does fuck all for his pay and get him off his ass. Thankyou, safe travels to you and your families, peace Vaz

Victorian Police have defended the tactics of the Special Operations Group (SOG) after the second fatal police shooting in the state this year. The elite unit shot dead a 29-year-old man during a raid on a home in Brooklyn in Melbourne's west this morning. Officers say they were investigating an attempted murder and drug crimes and have seized a number of cannabis plants.

https://www.marijuanaaustraliana.net/module...order=0&thold=0 The Supreme Court of Canada is about to hear a thermo-nuclear warhead of a case regarding cannabis prohibition. Cannabis prohibition in Canada was declared null and void several years ago - but was re-instated by the courts. This was an illegal act - only Parliament can make laws. Once the law was struck down as unconstitutional it had no effect on Canadians - in fact all cannabis cases for a period of about 18 months were ignored because of this precedent. Officially the laws are back on the books, but this is technically illegal. Canada currently has no cannabis laws - will the Supreme Court confirm t…

Project for distributing medical marihuana failed. By our parliamentary redaction. The Hague, Friday, March 18. - Health Minister Hoogervorst will most likely stop the distribution of softdrugs for medical use. Yesterday, during a debate in the Second Chamber, he stated that doctors hardly prescribe mediweed because of their lack of confidence in the drug. The cannabis is supposed to relieve the pain of patients suffering from cancer, for instance. On top of that, the medical grade cannabis that is being produced under the supervision of the department has nasty side effects, like psychosis. An other reason to stop the project is the competition by coffeeshops, whic…
