Two Perth brothers have appeared in court charged with possessing cannabis with an estimated street value of more than $500,000. Police say they pulled the pair over yesterday near Eucla and allegedly discovered more than 60 kilograms of cannabis in a metal container in the tray of their ute. It is alleged William Robert Proudfoot and Harold Frank Proudfoot were transporting the drugs into WA from South Australia. They appeared in the Kalgoorlie Magistrates Court via video-link from Eucla this morning, charged with possession of the drug, with intent to sell or supply. They were refused bail and are due to face court again next month. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-09-…

A REPORT has recommended the decriminalisation of cannabis and ecstasy in some circumstances, and the Victorian branch of the Australian Medical Association agrees a new approach is needed. The report, by a group of prominent Australians including University of Melbourne's former dean of medicine David Penington, recommends that cannabis and ecstasy be decriminalised for people aged 16 and older who are willing to be recorded on a national confidential users' register. Users would be able to buy drugs from an approved supplier, most likely a chemist. The report, prepared by non-profit group Australia21, said prohibition had failed, leaving the manufacture and supply…

From: The Australian December 08, 2011 Oldie but interesting. CANNABIS snacks were given the go-ahead by the nation's food regulator yesterday. Food Standards Australia overrode objections from police and health officials that the "marijuana munchies" could interfere with drug tests. It said yesterday it planned to amend the Food Standards Code to permit the used of processed hemp seeds - a rich source of omega fatty acids - to be used as an ingredient in foods ranging from ice cream to cheeses, salad dressings and muesli bars. Likening hemp to poppy seeds, Food Standards chief executive Steve McCutcheon said it was safe to eat, and already used in a range of foo…

A MAN who grew one of Australia's largest cannabis crops so he could fund a nationwide anti-abortion protest has told a court he has no regrets. Michael Bennett Gardner Snr, 58, told the Supreme Court in Brisbane today that he wished he had grown at least another 15 acres of the drug before he was caught in mid-2008. He then took the unusual step of urging the judge to jail him for the maximum of 20 years for the charge of trafficking, to which he pleaded guilty, saying his crime was "the top level of offending". However, Justice Roslyn Atkinson, who described the offending as "evil", agreed with the prosecution that Gardner should be sentenced to 13 years' jail. …

May 22, 2012 MORE than half of Australians support reduced legal penalties for use of drugs such as cannabis and ecstasy, an analysis of a federal government survey shows. The findings contrast with the Herald/Nielsen poll released yesterday, which showed that two-thirds of people opposed decriminalisation. But that is explained by the different way the poll questions were structured, said Alison Ritter, who heads a drug policy modelling program at the national drug and alcohol research centre at the University of NSW. She said it reflected the different responses likely when people were asked about specific approaches rather than the broader decriminalisation que…

The State Opposition and the Greens have lashed out at the Government's new drug awareness campaign targeting teenage cannabis users. Yesterday, the Government launched the, 'Swap for Pot' message to target 15 to 19 year old cannabis users as a part of the Drug Aware Campaign. The Mental Health Minister Helen Morton encouraged users to "smash their bong". However, the manager of Opposition Business Michelle Roberts doubts the new campaign will decrease the use of drugs. "This campaign is bordering on farcical and trivial. It is too little too late. I don't think it will be effective with young people, I expect most people will make a joke of it," she said. "Probably j…
