PADDY CLANCY Saturday, September 6, 2008 irishtimes.com © 2008 The Irish Times THE ROAD Safety Medical Bureau was criticised yesterday by a judge for failing to test for the level of drug intoxication in a driver arrested by gardaí.

But Garda Seán Flynn still had suspicions about the reason for Mr Gillen’s unusual driving at 4.10am when he turned at speed into a housing estate without using his indicator. Mr Gillen, who was “very shocked, unsteady and very agitated”, was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving and later gave a urine samp…

The latest current updates(Sept 2008) of the Victorian Legislation The most significant change is the new legal requirements of reporting by doctors anyone who uses Medicinal Cannabis to the Minister totally breaching doctor/patient confidentiality and patient privacy which is leading to a situation where many doctors who are conflicted by the obligation are simply refusing to treat any one who admits to medical cannabis use See Part 3 section 7 http://www.cannabisfacts.info/sites/defaul...les/08-017a.pdf

This is the response I recieved regarding the idea of submitting a petition to the Council of civil liberties. "That's a very interesting idea. I see two immediate problems, firstly that you would need a lot more than a thousand signatures to make an impact (eg 50,000), and secondly a lot of people would be reluctant to sign for fear of police follow-up. Current QCCL policy is for legalisation of possession for all the currently illegal substances, plants, pills and powders. In 1993 we made extended submissions for the legalisation of cannabis, as per below. I would have thought Getup (http://www.getup.org.au/)would be the best way to go about getting a…

this is amazing news for us stoners considering we number in the millions and the greens are the only major party to actually support cannabis law reform in our favour. if we mass email them saying if they want our votes in the future the only thing we currently care about is cannabis law reform in our favour we might be able to get one of the greens to stand up and use it as leverage over the rudd government in a previous story which i cant be bothered to find at the moment, the greens said if the rudd government wants to take tens of billions of dollars out of the economy its going to have to be replaced somewhere along the line to protect the economy. so bothers…
