Day One: I arrive as a homeless, broke backpacker. I'm asked if I was referred by Centrelink. Ushered through to a rear courtyard where seven or eight tenants are milling around. Some are friendly, others guarded. I'm quizzed about my background. All goes well. Within 15 minutes, I'm offered a bong and told I can buy marijuana in deals starting from $10.

Smokeless zoned A SMOKELESS, nontoxic way to inhale cannabis has been invented by doctors at the University of California, San Francisco. Their vaporising device heats cannabis resin to about 190C, just short of the point of combustion but hot enough to produce fumes of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the active cannabis ingredient. Tests on 18 volunteers found that the method “gives patients the same effects, but without the toxic products in smoke”. Health-conscious hippies need not cheer, though: it’s aimed solely at patients with chronic pain.

By comparison, random breath testing catches one driver in 130 for driving over their alcohol limit.(.... ah-ha over the limit but how many drivers have alcohol in their …

Mr Faris said he had seen the effect of drugs on some lawyers he had faced across the bar in court. …
