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…

This is a few days old, I meant to post it sooner. In the weekend Toowoomba newspaper, full page, on the front page was a story about a 12 million dollar drug bust. I wont go into details in the story, but the bust was all marijuana, no other drugs, there were more than 700 immature plants and 15kg of marijuana as well as seeds. They say this is one of the biggest drug busts in Toowoomba history and will put a major dent it the supply of cannabis to the streets in Toowoomba. The artical didn't say how long he might get, but that he would definetly be imprisoned. Ok, no lets flip to page 5, we have a half page artical about how convicted pedophile rapist Rodney Wade…
