Has any one around here tried it? It sounds like the strain to grow for a late starter like me. High yeild, little hazzle, good crop. But as I have been told clones are the way to go. As I'm a relativlely new I don't want to risk my money on un-proven seed stock. (And time and face) So I would really appreciate any feed back. Also other buzz breeds like Haze, Hash and G-13 look worth the effort. Is it possible to mix these species in a single sea of green?

A five-year-old Territory girl shocked teachers when she showed her class how to make a bong out of a Coke bottle during a ``show and tell'' session. The incident took place at a primary school in Darwin's northern suburbs. The revelation comes amid mounting concerns over drug use among Territory primary school students. At least two instances have been reported to the Education Department of children aged between five and 12 being caught with drugs at school. In one case the drug was amphetamine. Teachers have indicated this may be the tip of the iceberg. ``The little girl showing how to make a bong was the most in-your-face example of drug culture among pr…

Pubdate: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 Source: New Zealand Press Association (New Zealand Wire) Copyright: 2003 New Zealand Press Association GREENS SAY SORRY FOR OFFENSIVE EMAIL The Green Party today distanced itself from an offensive message sent to United Future leader Peter Dunne. Greens co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons sent a letter of regret and said the person who wrote the email was an unpaid volunteer who had been "unable to restrain himself". The row between the two parties over cannabis was reignited when party worker Stuart Young sent an email to Mr Dunne calling him a coward for refusing to debate law reform with Green MP Nandor Tanczos. The email addressed Mr Dunn…

Professional illegal drug syndicates are operating in the Territory, police say. One of the Territory's drug squad officers told a meeting of visiting crime delegates that there were "definitely" drug syndicates at work in the NT. The officer's name can not be revealed because it may compromise him operationally. He said the syndicates were usually headed by one major player who recruited friends and acquaintances to grow one or two marijuana plants each. Under Territory law anyone caught with just one or two marijuana plants can be dealt with by way of a Drug Infringement Notice. A network of growers could produce drugs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. …

In my opinion I think one day it will, or at least tolerated to an extent. Marijuana today is far more acceptable than it was a short while ago, and there seem to be scientists, politicians, heaps of people who stick up for the fact that weed is not a dangerous thing, i look forward to the day when we look back at our drug laws and laugh. Howard should pull his finger out of his ass.

Broadcast: 16/09/2003 Experts question drug policy recommendation A parliamentary inquiry has alarmed some experts within the drug rehabilitation field. It has recommended that Australia change its national drug treatment policy from harm minimisation to abstinence.

Champaign ? The munchies are nothing to giggle about when you're ill and lack any appetite whatsoever. Then, says local Rastafarian Chef Ra, marijuana-induced food consumption might be a life-saver for people undergoing chemotherapy or enduring infection by HIV. Chef Ra, a radio host at WEFT-FM and reggae regular on the Champaign club circuit, with his 5-foot-long dreadlocks and broad smile, writes humorous columns for High Times magazine. But he said his column, and a new DVD, contain recipes for cannabis-based dishes that are written with ill, sometimes starving people in mind. The illegal drug is not generally part of mainstream medicine. The Illinois State Me…

I wish someone would explain to me the War On Drugs, or at least why we think there is one. I grant that I'm just a country boy, and intellectually barefoot, and can't understand things that don't make sense. For that you have to go to Yale. Help me. As the newspapers tell it, drugs are somebody else's fault. Mexico's, for example, which grows and ships drugs. Yep, our drug problem comes from them. Colombia makes us take drugs too. In Washington you often see Colombians with machetes to peoples' throats, making them use drugs. Sometimes they actually block traffic. The Afghans grow drugs for the American market, but it's not their fault, because they are our allies …

SEVERAL students have been suspended from a suburban Adelaide primary school for possessing cannabis. Colonel Light Gardens Primary School yesterday confirmed a group of students ? believed to be three ? had been banned for taking the drug to school. It is understood the older students had smoked cannabis in a park near the school outside school hours. However, other students at the school allegedly told the Education Department the offending students had offered them the drug. A department spokesman said it was department policy not to disclose details of the students involved. It is unclear whether the students are now back in class. Principal Raelene Taggar…
