The internet has increased opportunities to buy illicit drugs and accelerated drug trends The Australia21 report argues the “war on drugs” has failed and we should consider other options for controlling drugs, such as decriminalisation or regulation. In addition to these arguments, an important challenge for drug prohibition has been overlooked in the drugs debate so far: the internet. While the internet has opened up new opportunities to buy drugs, it has also accelerated new drug trends. In the past year, we’ve seen the emergence of two key trends: synthetic cannabinoids (sold as Kronic, K2, Spice, among other names) and the anonymous online marketplace Silk Road. …

PARENTS could be jailed for 12 months and have their children put in state care for growing just one marijuana plant in Western Australia under arguably the nation's toughest drug laws. Amendments to WA's Misuse of Drugs Act, which came into effect on the weekend, mean people convicted of cultivating a single cannabis plant or processing the drug where a child has suffered harm face a 12-month mandatory prison term. Those convicted of a second drug offence where they were growing just one plant or processing it - hanging it to dry or rolling a joint - face a mandatory jail term of six months if it is proved they endangered a child's health by exposing them to the activit…

http://www.sunshinec...rug-boy-parade/ THE 14-year-old boy facing drug charges in Bali spent last night with asylum seekers in an immigration detention centre after being suddenly shifted from his police cell following the intervention of Indonesia's Justice Minister. Shielding his face from the cameras, the teenager wore a half balaclava, sunglasses and hat as he arrived at the facility at Jimbaran Bay, which has recently been rebuilt after asylum seekers burnt much of it down last year. In bizarre scenes, the teenager from Morisset Park on Lake Macquarie was even required to attend a press conference where the move was explained, although he did not say anything…

Check this out: www.themercury.com.au/article/2012/01/28/296095_todays-news.html Does anyone else find this completely unacceptable? I'm not sure if the drugs were cannabis or not, that has not been disclosed, but I don't think that's important. It has become clear to me that the war on drugs is on some shaky legs when this is what's necessary. Maybe this is the perfect ammo to issue a wake up call to the powers to be? Help to stand up for this girl. Yes it appears she comes from a family of drug dealers but how is that her fault? The consensus down here seems to be that she comes from a bogan family so it's O.K. I'd love to read some thoughts

"CANNABIS is kidstakes when it comes to the overall health damage drugs do" according to Wayne Hall, a substance abuse specialist at the University of Queensland's Centre for Clinical Research. Professor Hall’s new paper on the global pattern of drug consumption written with Louisa Degenhardt from the Burnet Institute, attracted media attention during the week for its finding that cannabis is the world’s most widely used illicit drug. On the basis of UN figures they argue between 125 and 203 million people across the planet used cannabis in 2009. This compared to a maximum of 21 million injecting drug users. The reason for its popularity, they argue in the new editi…

Cortlan Bennett From: AAP November 30, 2011 2:19PM Source: PerthNow http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/get-tough-laws-benefit-crime/story...1226210475068 "TOUGH new cannabis and proposed prostitution laws are driving people towards harder drugs and organised crime, Western Australia's opposition says. Under former WA Labor government laws, possession of two outdoor plants or up to 30g of cannabis resulted in a $150 spot fine and no criminal charge. The current Liberal-National government tightened the laws in July, punishing possession of 10g or more of cannabis with up to two years' jail or a $2000 fine."

MORE than 100kg of cannabis dumped in a creek near Warrnambool was past its best before date, according to police. The 71 packages discovered in Mount Emu Creek were found over two days from October 26 after packages were first discovered by a local farmer. In an initial search of the creek police found 51 bags of the drug, before an anonymous tip a day later lead them to 18 more packages dumped nearby. Valued at over $700,000, had it still been in a viable condition, the major haul would put the health of anyone attempting to use it in jeopardy and was no longer saleable. It is believed to have been dumped between October 23 and October 26 by a person driving ac…
