Shy? Troubled by addiction? People are joining clinical trials, doing it for themselves - and science, writes Leonie Lamont. Sleep deprived for decades, Kate Adams was in no mood to miss out on even a minute's sleep after joining a clinical trial of a new anti-insomnia drug. Every night she would swallow a tablet. Every day she would phone the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research where she keyed in the hours and minutes of sleep she had had, and its …

Marijuana use at all-time low, but girls just as likely to toke Tamara McLean July 30, 2008 12:00am Courier Mail http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0...5003426,00.html RATES of cannabis use are at an all-time low, but a "hard core" of addicts remains - and teenage girls are just as likely to smoke dope as boys. The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre in Sydney released a report yesterday confirming that rates of cannabis use had continued to drop among Australians aged 14 to 39 over the past decade. And while men in their 20s and 30s are still more likely to smoke the drug than females, the gender difference has disappeared among teenagers. …

I love the media, they're such a bunch of knobs. http://www.smh.com.au/news/health/dope-smo...7097241179.html "More than a third of people who present at Sydney emergency departments after smoking cannabis are violent and half have mental health problems such as severe anxiety and suicidal thoughts, shattering the image that dope smokers are relaxed and sleepy, researchers have found." Hmm, OK so did the MJ CAUSE those problems or are these folks who have other issues and just happen to use MJ as well? "The data, collected by the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre, at the University of NSW, indicates that cannabis users can be as aggressive as cry…

THE State Government has stepped up its war on hydroponic cannabis, making it illegal to possess the lamps and reflectors used to produce crops. Equipment used in clandestine drug laboratories also will be targeted by new laws aimed at stopping illegal drug manufacturing within South Australia. The prohibited equipment will include high-intensity lamps, reflectors and carbon filters used for hydroponic cannabis crops. Laboratory equipment such as condensors, evaporators, heating tools, stirrers, funnels, flasks and filters also will be illegal to possess - unless the owners can provide a legitimate reason for possessing them. Attorney-General Michael Atkinson toda…

Georgina Robinson | July 3, 2008 - 1:37PM http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/articles/2...4950920869.html Police say further investigations into a drug plantation in Queensland's Southern Downs have uncovered up to $500 million worth of cannabis product. Chief Superintendent Ross Barnett said the massive haul, which included 20,000 planted trees, eight tonnes of dried cannabis and several kilometres of irrigation piping, made the discovery one of the largest in the country. Officers initially estimated the seizure at $42 million - less than 10 per cent of its revised worth. The plants were found on a remote, 4000 acre property at Warroo, near Inglewood, yesterday …

Pat Purcell's son, Daniel, on drugs charges Paula Doneman June 29, 2008 12:00am http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0...794-952,00.html THE son of disgraced former Labor minister Pat Purcell has allegedly been selling thousands of dollars of ecstasy each week to support his own drug habit. A Brisbane court was yesterday told of allegations that Daniel Raymond Purcell bought 200 ecstasy tablets a week and sold 140 of them "so he could consume" the remaining 60 illicit pills himself. Purcell, an unemployed 23-year-old, was charged with drug trafficking and possession after he was arrested outside The Met Nightclub in Fortitude Valley, in Brisbane's inner-city, o…

ScienceDaily (Jun. 19, 2008) — Claims that a large increase in the strength of cannabis over the last decade is driving the occurrence of mental health and other problems for users are not borne out by a study of the worldwide literature, say researchers at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) and the National Drug Research Institute (NDRI), both from Australia. Their conclusions are that increased potency has been observed in some countries, but there is enormous variation between samples, meaning that cannabis users may be exposed to greater variation in the strength of the cannabis they use in a single year than over years or decades. Cannabis samples …
