Police say outback Indigenous drug smuggling growing Police say the trafficking of cannabis and other drugs is on the rise in South Australia's outback Aboriginal communities. More than a year ago South Australian, Western Australian and Northern Territory police created a substance abuse desk so they could work together to stop alcohol and petrol being smuggled into outback towns. Port Augusta police Superintendent Peter Anderson says while the project and the roll-out of Opal fuel has curbed alcohol abuse and petrol sniffing, more people are now turning to other drugs. "Sadly the focus is now moving towards cannabis and other illicit drugs, so the need for our j…

http://www.news.com.au/mercury/story/0,228...5006550,00.html Stoned stupidity GREG BARNS April 09, 2007 12:00am Article from: The Mercury Font size: + - Send this article: Print Email ANOTHER week, another series of headlines and stories about the impact of illicit drugs in our community -- and, naturally, more calls from the law-and-order brigade to jail people who take illicit drugs or traffic in them. Of course, it won't work. The war against drugs, which most Western societies appear addicted to, is simply a scandalous waste of money, resources and lives. Politicians fulminate about the evils of drugs such as ice and heroin, and judges and magistr…

"Pot. It mightn't kill you, but it could turn you into a dickhead" Ads target cannabis smoking teens A NSW anti-cannabis campaign will target teenagers as they travel to school and surf the internet. NSW Health launched the $600,000 campaign, which it says is designed to warn the 14 to 19-year-old age group on the dangers of starting the marijuana habit. Print advertisements, carrying tag lines such as "Pot. It mightn't kill you, but it could turn you into a dickhead", will appear in youth magazines and on bus stop posters. The ads feature a person staring accusingly from a black and white photo and quotes such as: "You've got great eyes, when they're not bloo…

Drug users claim lighter jail terms * 3000% increase in drug users claiming mental impairment * Top laywer says system is being rorted DRUG users are taking advantage of South Australia's mental impairment defence laws to gain lighter sentences. The head of the South Australian Parole Board Frances Nelson QC today said the definition of mental impairment was too wide under 10-year-old reforms by the SA Government and many criminals were escaping with lenient jail terms. Ms Nelson said she was concerned at a stark increase in the number of drug users who used a defence of mental impairment for murder and lesser crimes such as graffiti vandalism and growing …

Check out this article from The Age March 25: http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/the...4597954395.html I really don't think people are switching to E's when they normally smoke weed but I certainly haven't been able to get any pot recently although I only have a couple of dealers which both seem to be dry at the moment.

http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g270/reecePhotophucket/th_addiction_.jpg © 2007 ABC. A few months ago I predicted the introduction of a "treatment" for drug users which would permanently alter their brain chemistry making them "immune" from drugs. Whether they are endogenous (like endorphin or anandamide) or exogenous (like heroin, nicotine or pot) drugs are a natural and very important part of life. ABC's Catalyst has been pointed out on this forum before for its government-friendly "War on Drugs" stance. An example was when they reported some morgue findings about a year ago regarding the presence of cannabis in car crash victims as supposed to be showing that m…

There was also a drying room and seedling room to assist with production. The occupants …
