Cannabis Hemp News

(BTW, I'm aware that most of you are aussie, I was asked to post on here by one of your compatriots, and the UK could use your help) The following story was posted on the BBC web site (and presumably regional tv). The story contains the implication that 'cannabis addiction' led a man to shoot his neighbour in a dispute. Although the story acknowledges that the police found the man in a drunken coma, this is seen as a mark on his character and not the primary driver of the incident. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/...ire/3399805.stm This is a lie. We cannot and will not allow *our* public broadcaster to promote ignorance about cannabis. If you're serious about w…

Jan. 12, 2004. 06:48 AM Pot bust biggest ever Marijuana grown in former brewery Operation had dorm for workers ROBERTA AVERY SPECIAL TO THE STAR BARRIE—Terry MacIsaac has driven past the former Molson's brewery nearly every day since it closed more than three years ago putting him out of work after 26 years on the job. But he never imagined that a huge crop of marijuana was being grown in the abandoned beer vats. He rarely glanced at the windowless, gray industrial building surrounded by two chain-link fences, topped with barbed wire and never gave a second thought to the comings and goings of delivery trucks. "Like everyone else, I'm absolutely astounded," …

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/...3151208185.html By Trish Bolton January 5, 2004 People who smoke pot don't belong to a subculture, they're part of the mainstream. Australians don't really need an excuse to have a drink but it's that time of year where you can really drink up, indulge as much as you want; get drunk, smashed, blotto - no one will really mind. You can start drinking at the lunchtime barbie or picnic, down at the beach or while you're watching the cricket; you can do it in front of your parents and kids and with neighbours and friends. But if you want to roll one, have a choof or take a toke, you won't find the same warm reception at home…

Police found a man with 51 cannabis "joints" strapped to his leg when they searched him at a regional airport, Darwin Magistrates Court heard yesterday. Richard James Bell, 28, was a heavy cannabis smoker and it was for his own use, his lawyer said. Magistrate Dick Wallace said he noted a charge of supplying cannabis had been withdrawn. "I can accept that the cannabis was for personal use if I shut one eye," he said. While the facts did not say that Bell supplied anyone, the cannabis was in a form ready to be supplied. Bell, of Malak, pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis in a public place at Nguiu on Bathurst Island on February 21 last year. Prosecutor S…
