"The police will be given this equipment as new tools in the road safety campaign. "It will be…

While hunting through the net the other nite I came across an Abstract from the Australian Journal of Plant Physiology. Cannabis sativa were assessed for their usefulness to trace seized Cannabis leaves to the country of origin and to source crops by determing how isotopes signatures relate to plant growth conditions. The CSIRO wanted $18.00 for the full text. No way was I going to pay them so I contacted one of the authors and kindly ask for a copy, which she sent without haste. I refuse to go into detail on this but will send a copy to Ozstoners. One part really opened my eyes and I quote.

A strange aspect of the mull culture is that a freind of mine whom has been buying about $100 a fortnight for pain cause by the myriad of diseases brought on by AIDS does not want to risk placing some plants inside under lights. I was amazed as I had offered to supply the lights and seed stock for free. The reason being is that she considers cultivation so illegal so refuses to risk it EVEN THOUGH she has less than five years to live. I have argued with her that with her disease she would be more than justified in growing it inside and wouldn't attrack any flak from the system. How do I convince the masses of mullers that indoor crops are not so bad? Hydro DOES NOT affect…

By Duncan Macfarlane 17oct03 SIX RAAF servicemen have been placed on probation after admitting to possessing and using drugs at the Amberley airforce base in Queensland. The details were confirmed last night by the head of the Amberley Air Defence Wing, Air Commodore Stewart Cameron, who said investigations were over. He said he did not know whether drug abuse at Amberley was linked to police raids at other military bases in Queensland and the Northern Territory. The airmen had not been sacked under the Australian Defence Force's zero tolerance drugs policy because they had come forward during the internal investigation, he said. "We had some people step forw…
