http://www.altmedia.net.au/the-global-tide...-on-drugs/10869 Author: Michael Gormly Posted: Thursday, 3 September 2009 OPINION Except for the occasional glimmer of light, consumers of Australian media can be forgiven for thinking the dark age of drug prohibition is not only justified but securely incumbent. While our media, most politicians and even some health experts continue to regurgitate an evolving panoply of drug myths usually traceable to ultra-conservative US elements, truth will out and the international tide is on the turn against prohibition. One of these myths is the one about cannabis and psychosis. New strains of ‘skunk’ are X times strong…

August 23, 2009 07:24pm http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...5005961,00.html © Herald and Weekly Times IF Prime Minister Kevin Rudd can't stop giggling, feels paranoid or overly hungry when he visits Lismore hospital, he'll know exactly what's to blame. It could be the subliminal influence of a 10-metre inflatable joint, which drug legalisation lobbyists will use to try to get the prime minister's attention during his visit tomorrow. Members of the Nimbin Hemp Embassy will gather outside the hospital with their trusty mascot, hoping to talk to Mr Rudd about what they say is a health issue - legalising cannabis in Australia. The group's president Mich…

The SMH published this bit of bent news today: This article is only half true. Dr Arnold fails to note the fact that the body does not store actual d9-THC in body fat. Only THC metabolites are stored in body fats. THC metabolites are NOT psychoactive. Even if Arnold's assertion is true (and it probably is) that physical exercise or food deprivation causing the body to draw on stored fat for energy causes THC metabolites present in fat to be released into the bloodstream, the subject will not become re-intoxicated. To assert so, as Arnold does here: is so silly that it makes me wonder if Arnold has enjoyed a spliff over the weekend and had spent Monday morning…

REBEKAH CAVANAGH August 14th, 2009 http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2009/08/1...261_ntnews.html POLICE say drug dealers are continuing to exploit residents in remote Territory communities by charging them up to $100 for a bag of cannabis no bigger than the size of a 10 cent coin. Superintendent Helen Braam said it is just another example of the ongoing exploitation of remote Territorians. "The alternative for a remote community family is spending $100 on letting their kids go to the show, buying them a new bike for their birthday or sending them on a school excursion - something most urban kids take for granted, and whose parents are not being extorted becau…

Immigration Department spokesman Sandi Logan said the recreational room had not been used by either detainees or staff for quite some time. It was not yet known whether staff or detainees had cultivated t…
