A BEACONSFIELD man who admitted smoking 100 cones of marijuana a day to police was yesterday found not guilty of trafficking in the drug. Police searched the property of Peter Gerard Adams, 41, in April last year. They discovered 90 cannabis seedlings growing in his sunroom, and another five plants drying in an outside shed.

Sorry for getting your hopes up http://cardhouse.com/drcliff/office/goodideas.htm Dr Cliff ? "The psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A couple other plants make THC in smaller amounts, most notably the Szechuan peppercorn, hwa-jhou. THC is also being studied for its useful pharmaceutical properties. I'm not talking about the buzz you get from it, I'm talking about the anti-nausea and appetite-stimulant effects you also get from it. So, a lot is known about THC. It's structurally close to several plant hormones, so it stands to reason that all these molecules may be made from a common precursor. Follow along here- that means two thing…

Police vow to end 'cannabis capital' By Doug Robertson October 04, 2008 http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24445012-421,00.html POLICE are vowing to end South Australia's reputation as the nation's cannabis capital by unleashing a series of raids on hydroponic stores and "grow houses". Seizing on laws to come into force this month, police will target hydroponic stores they believe may be smuggling cannabis interstate. The laws ban the possession of about 30 types of hydroponic equipment - including industrial-strength lights, exhaust fans, plant bud strippers and carbon filters - unless the owners can prove they are being used to grow vegetables. In an inter…

What About The Average Dope Smoker? PR Cannazine 2 October 2008 http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/700/27/ The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) are really starting to gain a reputation as another bunch of quacks pushing their own brand of junk science onto the community. And according to one Ozzie blogger "The Australian" is the perfect vehicle to publish their crap. As usual, these organisations rely on a tiny fraction of the group they target and somehow make them the representatives of the whole group. Why can’t some organisation come out with a rational, evidence based report that states the upside to cannabis use? Why the doom…

HERALD SUN October 01, 2008 03:34pm NEW South Wales cannabis crusader Peter Till has failed in his last-ditch attempt to appeal against two convictions for drug possession.

One of the convictions related to an incident in which he tried to carry two cannabis plants into the Brisbane Magistrates Court last year.

29 September 2008 News.com.au CANNABIS smokers are more likely to suffer depression, anxiety and psychosis than stimulant drug takers, according to Australian statistics suggesting the herb's toll on mental health has been underestimated. They quote that "users were more likely to be male, young, unemployed or on a low income and indigenous . . ." and these are surely NOT people who would be predisposed to depression nor anxiety? Come on, when are they gonna get 'real'?!?!? And don't start me on the 93 pages of 'spin' from the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre . . . put into context my butt!
