UNEMPLOYED dad turned himself into a drug dealer after Centrelink told him he was too old to get another job. Marijuana helped generate an income for Mr Cook. Former retail manager Kenneth Mark Cook, 35, had lost his job for the first time in 20 years. He had no prior criminal record except for a few minor traffic infringements. But the Darwin dad resorted to dealing marijuana in his desperation to make money to pay bills and support his wife and children. Cook embarked on the new career path, the Supreme Court heard last week, because Centrelink officials told him to "change his life and re-educate himself" because he was too old to get another retail trade …

Now that recreational use has been dealt with, the WA Government are finally addressing industrial hemp. Hopefully medical use won't be too far behind. If they did it backwards, there'd be too many questions about legitimising or tolerating recreational use - deal with recreational use first and the other topics can be discussed without ambiguity: From: MAPNews <owner-mapnews@mapinc.org> To: mapnews@mapinc.org Subject: MN: Australia: New Laws Clear Way To WA Fields Of Hemp Newshawk: Niall Young Pubdate: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 Source: West Australian (Australia) Copyright: 2003 West Australian Newspapers Limited Contact: letters@wanews.com.au Website: http://www.thew…

Anyone see the horrors of marijuana on Today Tonight this evening? (24th. Nov). Apparently this woman's son killed himself because he smoked all this pot for a few weeks, while on holiday. He returned home, to Tasmania and did himself in. Says a lot more about the situation of living in Tasmania for youth than it does about grass I reckon. But what was amazing was the pictures they showed of this kid on holiday were full of images of Jim bean, and Jack Daniels, and booze was barely mentioned. The idiot woman reckons she felt that he son was in a safe environment because he was in the centre of the country at Alice Springs ( I think it was there), and amongst Abori…

Granger allowed to appeal drug conviction By SEAN FEWSTER 21nov03 FORMER football strongman Dave "Grave Danger" Granger has been given permission to appeal against his drug conviction – and will challenge the validity of state law. Granger and his lawyers will ask the Court of Criminal Appeal to find South Australia's decades-old drug laws "contravene the Australian Constitution" and are unfair to anyone found with large quantities of cannabis. The Court of Criminal Appeal yesterday granted Granger leave to appeal against his jail term of four years and three months. Earlier this month, Granger, 48, was given a two-year non-parole period for growing 17kg of cannab…

Britain's most senior coroner is warning that hundreds of young people are dying in accidents caused by their prolonged use of cannabis. Hamish Turner, the president of the Coroners' Society, said that the drug, which is often portrayed as harmless, has increasingly been behind deaths that have been recorded as accidents or suicides. In the past year, he estimated that cannabis was a significant contributory factor in about 10 per cent of the 100 cases that he had dealt with in south Devon, where he works. Conversations with his colleagues led him to believe that the scale of the problem elsewhere in the country was equally bad. "Cannabis is as dangerous as any oth…

In leafy Artarmon, the greenery is not confined to the garden. A cranky cat whose meows worried the neighbours has exposed its owner as a small-scale cannabis grower. Cranky at having been left alone for the weekend, the tabby meowed so loudly that neighbours called the RSPCA. What they found was a fat and happy feline living among a brightly lit jungle of cannabis plants worth nearly $100,000. The cat's owner, Rhonda McIntyre, 49, an unemployed landscape gardener, had turned her green thumb to hydroponic marijuana cultivation while recovering from a back injury. She pleaded guilty in North Sydney Local Court yesterday to possessing an indictable quantity of cannabi…
