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 …

All five men face charges relating to the cultivation by enhanced methods of a pr…

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 …

Steve Larkin June 23, 2008 03:25pm courier mail <http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23908072-953,00.html> PROPOSALS to use the drug ecstasy on war veterans to alleviate stress have drawn a lukewarm response from the Returned Services League. RSL national president Bill Crews said he was reluctant to support a call from an Australian Democrats MP to investigate using the drug on war veterans. South Australian Democrat Sandra Kanck said ecstasy's key ingredient, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, could be used to alleviate post-traumatic stress disorders. "This is not a new idea," Ms Kanck said. "It is being trialled in the United States and Israel…

How elite agents went off the rails - Officers stand by claims of corruption in AFP John Kidman and Steve Barrett June 22, 2008 http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/06/21/...400.html?page=2 THEY were the untouchables, an elite band of Australian Federal Police, some of whom insiders say were no better than "gangsters with police badges". Their headquarters were Redfern's landmark TNT twin towers, where extramarital conquests and drunken "happy hour" parties were common. It was the 1980s and, as one former officer of the 35-strong AFP Sydney drug investigation unit recalls, it was like "living inside a grubby episode of Miami Vice". Memories of the heady days of th…

Paid doctors just drug spruikers, says insider Nick Miller June 21, 2008 http://www.theage.com.au/national/paid-doc...80620-2u8x.html PHARMACEUTICAL companies consider the doctors in their pay to be little more than salespeople spruiking their products, a drug industry whistleblower has admitted in a prestigious medical journal. In response, the British Medical Journal has called for medical leaders to stop accepting personal payments for promoting a company's drug or device. Companies pay "key opinion leader" doctors up to $6000 a day to deliver lectures to boost sales of new drugs. They give them slides for their presentations and train them in what to say and w…

Justice Peter Evans said Paul Darren Enright, of Kimberley, had been smoking cannabis since he was 15 years old and had been convicted of drug charges in 1990.

"You claimed you did not intend …
