POLITICIANS and anti-drug campaigners have labelled an annual festival in northern NSW promoting the use of cannabis as both dangerous and irresponsible. Nimbin's MardiGrass and Cannabis Law Reform Weekend, which will be held for the 12th time on May 1-2, has grown into an international event attracting thousands of visitors. But local federal National Party MP Ian Causley said the event was "totally irresponsible". "This is a celebration of drugs and I don't approve of that," he said. "Many of the arguments that are being put forward by this group for the legalisation of marijuana are being refuted in most of the medical reports." Mr Causley said the police ha…

WHEN police searched Gordon Clark's Surges Bay property in Tasmania last year he handed over a bag of marijuana he said was for his personal use, a court was told yesterday. The Supreme Court in Hobart heard that Mr Clark told police he was going to use it to make marijuana cookies. But prosecutor Michael Shirley told the court that as police continued looking around Mr Clark's property, a detective passed a water tank next to a shed and thought he heard an extractor fan. Searchers moved into the shed where they found, after shifting around some items, a passageway into the tank. Mr Shirley said the tank was separated into three rooms, the walls lined with poly…

Leave Medical Marijuana Group Alone, Judge Tells Government By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: April 22, 2004 AN FRANCISCO, April 21 (AP) — A judge ordered the federal government on Wednesday not to raid or prosecute a California group that grows and distributes marijuana for its sick members.

Medical cannabis users and advocates are lobbying city leaders to increase Berkeley's indoor marijuana plant limit from 10 to 72, which is the amount allowed in Oakland. Advocates say residents with cancer, AIDS, chronic pain, anorexia, glaucoma, migraine headaches and other severe illnesses need more than 10 indoor plants to cultivate marijuana for medical treatment. Berkeley allows 10 indoor and outdoor plants under a March 2001 ordinance that was brokered under political compromise. The Berkeley City Council will consider an increase proposal Tuesday. "It's not unreasonable to have 72 (plants)," said Mayor Tom Bates. "What people have told me is that this is w…

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) As police watched, hundreds of people gathered at the University of Colorado this week to smoke marijuana as part of an annual counterculture event organized by the Grateful Dead. A cloud of smoke wafted over Farrand Field just after 4:20 p.m. on Tuesday, April 20. The band organized the first 4/20 celebration in 1979 in San Jose, Calif., where "420" was the local police code for marijuana smoking. Freshman Adam Stroul said Boulder's 4/20 is "famous." "I probably heard about it four years ago," he said. "My buddy's older brother went here and told us about it." The Princeton Review, which named Colorado the nation's No. 1 party school in 2003, …
