Source : Sky News Active on Austar Digital. I just found it hilarious that not are they only 2 years behind in mentioning one of these systems, they mentioned it by name so commercial growers can get more for their money but after considering that for a few seconds, they might have mentioned the name of the product so commercial growers will buy the systems so the police can track the growers down via their order

A JUDGE yesterday ordered a drug grower to write a 3000-word essay on the links between cannabis and schizophrenia as part of his sentence. In the Supreme Court in Brisbane, Justice George Fryberg said smoking cannabis increased chances of mental illness and, in particular, schizophrenia. He said unlike moderate use of alcohol, use of cannabis could have long-term effects on users. Justice Fryberg was sentencing David Allan Wotton, 43, who pleaded guilty to producing cannabis sativa between September 1, 2004 and April 4 last year. Wotton and his wife Deborah Louise Wotton, 41, also pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis sativa on April 4 last year. Prosecutor Ron S…

A plea to deaf ears for some drug law reform Email Print Normal font Large font By Tim Dick December 31, 2005 Page 1 of 2 THERE are about 1.2 million ecstasy criminals in Australia, and they'll be joined by more this weekend. We mostly hear that all drugs are evil and horrible and wreck the lives of all who take them. They lead to crime; they destroy families. Their possession deserves to be a criminal offence, no matter what the drug or what is done after taking it. Anyone who disagrees is branded as soft on drugs, pro-crime and as good as advocating more drug deaths. The dissenters shouldn't be so roundly dismissed. Drugs, which vary enormously, don't ruin ev…
