CANNABIS super-strains up to 30 per cent stronger are being cultivated in South Australia by crime groups who travel internationally to "refine" their growing techniques. The Australian Crime Commission's annual Illicit Drug Report released this month warned of a Canadian strain being introduced in Australia through links with Vietnamese crime groups. The report said there were indications Vietnamese Australians had travelled to Canada to refine production techniques. Inspector Greg Englert, intelligence co-ordinator for New South Wales Police's Asian crime squad, recently highlighted the British Columbian strain in the Australian Police Journal. "It has been arou…

The primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, THC, may be detectable at low levels in the sweat of daily cannabis users for up to four weeks after they cease using the drug, according to clinical trial data published in the journal Forensic Science International. Investigators at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) assessed the sensitivity of sweat patch technology in 11 daily cannabis users. All of the subjects tested positive for THC during their first week of abstinence, three tested positive for two weeks, and one subject continued to test positive for four weeks after ceasing his use of cannabis. By contrast, subjects administered daily do…

BRADLEY MURDOCH, the man who killed British backpacker Peter Falconio, was one and police fear there are many more like him. Murdoch was a drug runner who would drive across the country with large amounts of cannabis hidden in his 1999 Toyota Landcruiser four-wheel-drive's large, spare fuel tank. He was usually high on amphetamines during the regular 3000-kilometre trips from Broome to Sedan in South Australia. He would take with him two guns, a .357 Colt Dirty Harry revolver and a James Bond-style black Beretta pistol, with him for protection. Police are concerned drug runners like Murdoch, who shot Falconio and assaulted and deprived his girlfriend Joanne Lees …

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. The caretaker, Ned, provides a guided tour. There are 30 rooms spread across three floors and only four communal bathrooms. My room, number 1, costs $140 a week and sits feet from the front door. I'm amazed to discover my electricity runs through an extension cord travelling 25 metres down a corridor to a plug socket …

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.

SOUTH Australian police have found more than 1,000 bags of cannabis in a car they stopped for a routine traffic check, after they were alerted by the smell. The 61-year-old driver from the Mintabie opal fields was arrested and charged with unlawful possession and possessing a controlled substance for sale. The car was pulled over by a Marla police patrol earlier this week about 15km south of the town on the Stuart Highway. "Police could smell cannabis coming from the car and a search allegedly found 12 bags in the boot each containing 100 smaller bags of cannabis,'' a police spokesman said. About $3,000 in cash was also seized. The man was granted police bail to…

More drivers test for drugs than drink-so say the police ALMOST three times as many NSW drivers have tested positive to illegal drugs as those caught with alcohol in their systems, a new police random drug testing unit has found. Of the 1600 drivers stopped and given a swab test by the unit since it was established in January, one in 46 were discovered to have taken illegal drugs. In some areas, one in eight long haul truck drivers tested were caught using illegal drugs, chiefly amphetamines. 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 …

Lawyers should be drug tested: QC A prominent Melbourne lawyer says there is a drug problem in the legal profession and random drug testing should be introduced. Melbourne QC and former chairman of the National Crime Authority, Peter Faris, says he has information suggesting there is a drug problem in the legal profession in Victoria and NSW. "The information I get from other lawyers, and anecdotally, is that there has been quite a problem with high flyers in the legal profession in NSW and Victoria using cocaine for a number of years," Mr Faris told ABC Radio. Mr Faris said he had seen the effect of drugs on some lawyers he had faced across the bar in court. …
