Cannabis Hemp News

I was looking up news at the Newstext.com.au website, where I use often for my correspondce studies, and I was looking up some news from my old "homeland" (excuse me guys, I'ven't got second "head" :: I grew up in Tassie, but wasn't born there ) There's 3 stories (all connected with day by day news from the court) about a lady from Bruny Island, she got busted with $54,000 worth of pot and walked away free with suspended jail term..... (lucky bitch) I knew these Oldies, one of their sons went to my old school, we were couple of years apart. They were doing a good business I heard as a lot of their "customers" respected them for some odd reasons, maybe it's the…

Found this letter from R. KEITH STROUP, the Executive director of Washington's NORML, to the editor of "The Washington Times": Decriminalize marijuana users Florida drug czar Jim McDonough may be gloating prematurely when he declares that the recent national elections were a "broad-based rejection of the drug normalization campaign begun in the mid-1990s" ("They just said no," Op-Ed, Tuesday). This fall's statewide marijuana policy initiatives in Nevada and Arizona were defeated because they included provisions that went beyond the point most Americans support. They called for legalizing the sale of small amounts of marijuana in Nevada, and providing free med…

Zurich - Swiss federal health officials still favour decriminalising cannabis consumption but political opposition is stiffening after a recent study showed Swiss marijuana is far more potent than previously assumed. A study conducted by a Swiss consumer watchdog showing Swiss cannabis had up to 28 percent of the euphoria-producing active ingredient tetra-hydro cannabinol (THC) has alarmed politicians and health officials and threatens to derail liberalisation. Richard Mueller, director of the Swiss Institute for Substance Abuse, told the SonntagsZeitung newspaper: "We have to revise our verdict. Smoking cannabis isn't as harmless as we thought." According to the s…

Source: Globe and Mail Haarlem, Netherlands — The water pipe stood two metres tall, encircled by people puffing on its 64 mouthpieces. Elsewhere in the room, a new machine rolled out 300 marijuana joints in minutes. Free hash was passed around. It was the start of a three-day Hash and Weed Festival on Friday evening. The aging pioneers of the Dutch marijuana culture, watched by hundreds of young aficionados, gathered in a sports gymnasium to mark the 30th anniversary of the first "coffee shop" that openly sold reefers like cups of coffee. "This celebration honours the world's most successful marijuana experiment: the Dutch coffee shop system," said Pete Brady, an…

This fellow is a legend, won't let the law stop him opening his "cafe"... 'I'll still open my cannabis cafe' A man who plans to set up a cannabis cafe says a report warning of the serious health dangers of the drug will not stop him pressing ahead with his plans. Kevin Williamson, of the counter-culture activist group and publishing house Rebel Inc, plans to challenge the existing law by opening a cafe in Edinburgh where cannabis usage will be tolerated - and where eventually the drug will be put on sale. He said a British Lung Foundation report suggesting that cannabis is every bit as harmful as smoking tobacco does nothing to make him think twice. "This makes…
