ABC Rural 11/11/2008 Western Australia's Ord Valley region has just wrapped up its first hemp harvest in nearly a decade, and the company involved in the trial says it will now look to plant 500 hectares next year. Hemp hasn't been grown in the Kimberley since an unsuccessful trial in 2000, and growers have mixed feelings about the crop's value. Chief executive of Hemp Resources, Kim Hough, believes current legislation, which stops hemp seed from being sold as a food product in Australia, will soon be changed and will make hemp a very viable crop in the Ord. "We're confident that laws will be changed," he says. "But no, it wouldn't turn us away (from growing in …

Northern Rivers Echo The Nimbin Museum is open for business and the Nimbin HEMP Bar will soon be opening its doors again, with locals banding together to save the two iconic buildings from closure. The landlords of both buildings were advised several weeks ago they would have to comply with a strict set of conditions or police would declare them ‘restricted premises’ under the Restricted Premises Act of 1943, which allows police to search or raid at will. Museum tenant Michael Balderstone was also told he could no longer manage the tourist drawcard, however, his business partner Elspeth Jones has stepped into the breach and advised the landlord she will take over tenanc…

[uh oh, they're at it again . . .] Brisbane Times Miranda Devine | November 6, 2008 Barack Obama's autobiography, Dreams From My Father, describes his flirtation with drugs during a troubled early period. "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow [cocaine] when you could afford it … Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection." At 47, the US president-elect is typical of his late baby boomer-early generation X cohort, in that marijuana was freely available in his teens and early 20s, virtually unpoliced and regarded as relatively harmless, a "soft" drug. As the pot-smoking generations have moved en masse into positions of power, the days when reporters c…

Earlier this year I kicked out a housemate for failing to pay her rent (we also have 2 kids together but have been seperated for years). Knowing this person to be a low life narc I took the measure of keeping my herbs on the windowsill in the toilet in the hope I could flush it before entry could be made to my home. Well some dickhead left the door unlocked and I was lucky enough to see three blokes (looked like mormons) walking up my drive, I dashed for the toilet and dumped and flushed. All I could here was "mate come here, come here". FLUSH, TACKLE, SLAMMED INTO THE WALL. The mormon lookalikes let themselves in and did not like the fact I was flushing the toilet. I c…
