ABC Queensland Posted June 2, 2008 14:05:00 http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06...tm?site=idx-qld A 44-year-old Sunshine Coast man has appeared in the Supreme Court in Brisbane charged with establishing a hydroponic drug crop inside his Buderim home in the state's south-east. The court heard Scott David Woodforth was found by police last year with almost four kilograms of cannabis sativa, which he had cultivated from two plants growing under lights in a hidden room. Woodforth admitted to being a heavy user of the drug for pain relief after a car accident and said that he had grown it so he would not have to go to drug dealers. Justice Rosyln Atkinson ac…

The West Australian WA cannabis laws must be toughened, say doctors 24th May 2008, 10:45 WST The Australian Medical Association has called for the State Government to introduce tougher cannabis laws following the release of a study which found cannabis users have a 40 per cent increased risk of developing schizophrenia. In a review of new international research, Australian psychiatrists discovered a direct link between cannabis use and mental illness with the risk 200 per cent higher for those who smoked daily and over long periods of time. AMA president Dr Rosanna Capolingua called on Health Minister Jim McGinty to introduce promised cannabis law changes so…

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...5-12377,00.html DOPE smokers have a 40 per cent increased risk of developing schizophrenia, and taking it regularly drives the risk up two-fold, Australian research shows. A new study by psychiatrists has reviewed the latest evidence of links between cannabis use and mental illness, concluding the association is "stronger and clearer than ever". A pot smoker is 40 per cent more likely to suffer a psychotic episode than a non-smoker, according to the review of major published international research. And for people who smoke daily over long periods their risk is 200 per cent higher. "On the world stage, Australians exce…

http://kalimna.blogspot.com/2008/05/drug-t...porters-of.html Drug treatment industry supporters of illicit drug decriminalisation I've posted before on the preposterious claims of Dr Alex Wodak that decriminalising cannabis use would decrease use. To the extent it provides an additional source of supply not subject to the user costs of relying on illegal markets I find it impossible to believe such claims*. The difficulty with these effoneous claims is that current policies to reduce cannabis use are working effectively. This is a beneficially especially because cannabis use itself is, in fact, increasingly seen as a dangerous illicit drug rather than something benig…

Monday, May 12, 2008 Harry Clarke http://kalimna.blogspot.com/ (please feel free to post a comment to Harry - at comment 7) This most recent report by the British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs provides a careful evaluation of cannabis. It recommends retaining the classification of cannabis as a Class C drug (along with valium, GHB and steroids) rather than upgrading it into Class B of more dangerous drugs such as amphetamines and barbiturates. Nevertheless it does describe cannabis use as a significant public health issue. With a few exceptions the report’s views coincide with my views on cannabis. As a Class C drug a maximum prison sentence of 2 years is…

Author Miranda Devine May 15, 2008 http://www.smh.com.au/news/miranda-devine/...0444525877.html The photograph of Mercedes Corby apparently pulling on a pipe, which was put to her in court and appeared in newspapers all week courtesy of her defamation case against Channel Seven, must delight her sister Schapelle, locked up in a Bali jail until 2024 for cannabis importation. Mercedes said she had only been "posing" in the picture and had not smoked marijuana since she was "young and silly" in her teens. But the image can't help Schapelle's pleas of innocence in Indonesia, where anti-drugs campaigners picketed her trial to demand the death penalty. Diverting though …
