ABOUT 60 per cent of Aborigines smoke marijuana regularly and most of those get stoned every day, a Northern Territory study shows. New figures on cannabis rates among indigenous people show a drug use rate far higher than the Australian average, with researchers saying it is "firmly entwined" in the society. Researchers at James Cook University in Cairns and the University of Sydney surveyed 164 people in Arnhem Land in 2006 and found 61 per cent of men and 58 per cent of women used cannabis at least weekly. In-depth interviews with 60 users found that 92 per cent of the men and 78 per cent of the women smoke it daily, according to the study published in the Medica…

I might be moving to Adeliade in a year and was wondering what the cannabis scene was like there, I am in QLD now and its very uptight here and there is even a law against water pipes. In fact I am more curious what the glass scene is like there, does anyone know any local blowers / lamp workers ? Are there any on here ? I'd really be into meeting up with you, especially if I move into the area.

A man has been jailed for at least 20 years for the "appalling and baffling" murder of his 11-year-old stepson and the knifing of the boy's mother.In the NSW Supreme Court, Justice Peter Hidden accepted that the 24-year-old man, who had no history of violence, could not explain his behaviour and had no memory of it. "His depression, his intoxication and his withdrawal from cannabis provide some explanation for the level of his violence, but what triggered it remains a mystery," he said. "The case is both appalling and baffling." The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to murdering the boy and to causing grievous bodily harm to his partner, wit…

A MAN charged with the shooting murder of his boss allegedly told police he was being made to grow and sell illicit drugs against his will, a Sydney court heard yesterday.

Thought this was very interesting... Enjoy! Love and a squish, Alison xx Cognitive functioning enhanced by cannabis use in schizophrenia By Liam Davenport 01 November 2007 Schizophr Res 2007; 96: 169-184 MedWire News: Cannabis use by patients with schizophrenia is associated with enhanced cognitive functioning, with both frequency and recency of use linked to better neuropsychological performance, conclude Australian researchers. There is a lack of understanding of the neuropsychological effects of cannabis use in schizophrenia, partly due to conflicting evidence from the few studies that have explored the association. To investigate further, Carissa Cou…
