http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/is-it-right-to-lose-your-licence-over-a-joint-you-smoked-days-ago "Last weekend, Australian police in New South Wales (NSW) ran a roadside drug testing blitz in several regional areas around the state, which found one in five drivers testing positive. On Monday, the NSW government announced plans to triple the number of tests by 2017. The crackdown comes in response to one in ten drivers failing the roadside tests for drugs, compared to one in 300 for alcohol. The reason this is concerning is that drug tests don't check for drug intoxication, but for certain chemicals in saliva. In the case of NSW this is marijuana, MDMA, and amphetamin…

Drug Law Reform Australia ALERT: Draconian Drug Laws proposed in Victoria. An unpublicised amendment to the “Ice” legislation makes it a crime, punishable by 5 years jail, to possess information about cultivating a drug of dependence (aka Cannabis). Surely this form of censorship is a bridge too far in the escalating war on drugs? What do you think? The ban includes the possession of books, magazines and web pages. Read for yourself this extraordinary legislation called, the “Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Amendment Bill 2015”, particularly section 71E and 71F which passed the Victorian lower house on the 25th November. http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/static…

http://www.themercury.com.au/news/opinion/talking-point-drugdriving-injustice-must-be-addressed/news-story/31f8c07b5f3ea65b0eda50581dcb113f ON Friday, Tony Mulder, a Legislative Council MP and former senior member of Tasmania Police articulated in the Talking Point pages the unfairness of the drink-driving law regime in this state. The other area of road safety regulation that is also grossly inequitable and offensive to the rule of law is the drug-driving regime. Australia was the first country in the world to adopt drug-driving laws, with Tasmania being the second jurisdiction to adopt such laws in 2005. In Tasmania, police can randomly stop drivers and test their s…

DRUGLAWED is the documentary that finally clears the smoke around the failed international prohibition of cannabis. Each Screening will have a live introduction by the film maker Arik Reiss and a Drug law reform panel - 'From medical to recreational - the road to regulation'. DRUGLAWED the film details how New Zealand got rolled up in the US-led Drug War along with 183 other countries. Over the past 100 years the US has forced its fatally flawed model of drug prohibition on almost every country on earth. Four decades since Richard Nixon declared the War On Drugs, 22 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana. Only one country in the world arrests a higher prop…

Photo: Rohan Thomson When Steve Hunt was pulled over for a routine roadside drug test on his way home from work, he thought everything would be fine. He was wrong. That one test triggered a nightmare scenario in which he was repeatedly misdiagnosed as having methamphetamine - a drug he has never touched - in his system by police and NSW Health tests. I have no trust whatsoever in the police any more. Steve HuntThe case triggered NSW Health to begin double-testing samples, but that was too late for Mr Hunt, who was forced to p…

I attended a medical cannabis workshop recently and heard Ketalaris speak. Found his talk engaging and very educational, clarified a lot of what I've read as well covering new ground for me. I subsequently come across this interesting article on Ketalaris which is part 4 of a series looking at the medical cannabis debate. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/interactive/2015/medical-marijuana-doctor/ Part 1: Cannabis kids Part 2: The politics of pot Part 3: Pain, and a future on hold Part 4: Dr Pot Part 5: A mother's promise
