SEVERAL students have been suspended from a suburban Adelaide primary school for possessing cannabis. Colonel Light Gardens Primary School yesterday confirmed a group of students ? believed to be three ? had been banned for taking the drug to school. It is understood the older students had smoked cannabis in a park near the school outside school hours. However, other students at the school allegedly told the Education Department the offending students had offered them the drug. A department spokesman said it was department policy not to disclose details of the students involved. It is unclear whether the students are now back in class. Principal Raelene Taggar…

Professional illegal drug syndicates are operating in the Territory, police say. One of the Territory's drug squad officers told a meeting of visiting crime delegates that there were "definitely" drug syndicates at work in the NT. The officer's name can not be revealed because it may compromise him operationally. He said the syndicates were usually headed by one major player who recruited friends and acquaintances to grow one or two marijuana plants each. Under Territory law anyone caught with just one or two marijuana plants can be dealt with by way of a Drug Infringement Notice. A network of growers could produce drugs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. …

SINCE Tasmania's Country Women's Association voted unanimously to lobby for the trial use of marijuana for medical relief, Ailsa Bond's popular cheese and parsley scones have been the subject of many a joke. "People joke that the parsley flakes could be replaced with other green flakes!" she says. The move from the CWA to get the drug approved for medical use surprised many, but the sprightly 80-year-old responds that the organisation has always been progressive. "We've been raising social issues for 60 or 70 years," she said. "We've talked about the value of water, the importance of trees, we've lobbied for childcare centres, for roads, for hospitals and libraries.…

TASMANIA'S Country Women's Association wants cannabis legalised as a treatment for the terminally ill. The association's state conference voted overwhelmingly in favour of a motion on the issue yesterday. It wants state and federal governments to legislate so the drug can be a prescription pain relief treatment for people with non-curable conditions such as cancer, HIV, and multiple sclerosis. The motion was raised by Launceston's Riverside branch. Branch delegate Ailsa Bond, a retired pharmacist, told the conference the active ingredient in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, had demonstrated benefits for terminally ill people including pain relief and appeti…

A TEENAGER who left a house with a man to buy marijuana was later found stabbed to death and stuffed into a stormwater drain, a court heard yesterday. The Supreme Court in Brisbane heard the bloodied body of Dylan Charles Anderton, 14, was found with multiple wounds to his head and chest in the drain near a shopping centre at Kingston on Brisbane's southern outskirts. Sean Stewart Clayton, 32, pleaded not guilty to Anderton's murder, which allegedly took place on November 25, 2001. Prosecutor Simone Bain told the jury there was not much doubt Clayton told police he killed Anderton but that the issue could be about his intent at the time. Ms Bain said Clayton also…

Police left with drug raid overdose By MARK BUTTLER 27aug03 POLICE were ordered not to raid big drug crops because of a shortage of storage space. Officers at Sunshine in Melbourne's west were told they should not execute warrants on large hydroponic marijuana set-ups in their area. An order sent to 55 officers at the station stated the order would apply until further notice. "At present the property office is so full we are unable to store any more," the memo states. The police force last night said after the ban was revealed that the order was no longer valid. But Police Association secretary Paul Mullett said the situation was nonsensical and should be of gre…

In my opinion I think one day it will, or at least tolerated to an extent. Marijuana today is far more acceptable than it was a short while ago, and there seem to be scientists, politicians, heaps of people who stick up for the fact that weed is not a dangerous thing, i look forward to the day when we look back at our drug laws and laugh. Howard should pull his finger out of his ass.

Dr doug told me last night that I have been assigned online co-ordinator for the up coming cup. The details so far are it will be held on the second weekend in November. I presumed Saturday the 8th. All entries must be in by the end of October. This opens several questions of which a response was blurry. The first question is to where it is to be held? Due to the horror's he encountered in Brookvale I doubt it be on the North Shore. The venue has yet to be arranged and is anyone's guess. Hopefully not to far anyway. How much and what prizes was told to me but is a blur. I will update this posting when I get more info. Anyone wanting to message Dr Doug can foward them thro…

World Leading Health Journal Opines For Patients To Receive Federal Exemptions To Use Medical Marijuana July 30, 2003 - Brisbane, Australia Brisbane, Queensland: Governments should grant federal exemptions to qualified patients who find therapeutic benefits from the medicinal use of marijuana, conclude a pair of researchers writing in the current issue of the journal CNS Drugs. "The best prospects for the medical use of cannabinoids lie in finding ways to deliver THC that do not involve smoking and in developing synthetic cannabinoids that produce therapeutic effects with a minimum of psychoactive effects," write Professors Wayne Hall and Louisa Degenhardt of the Of…
