Well things have been progressing extremely slowly. First I'll reintenerate what's been said: The Cup's on the 8th November. Enteries must be in by the end of October. It's open anyone pro-canna. 18 years old. No grog. $40 ticket (to pay for food, fizz drink). Else? Oh it was to be in Redfern but has been moved maybe to Marickville. The mull is put on, but you might find it hard to buy any. The problems are: We don't have a p.o. box to send the entries too. If you want to place an entery send me a priv-msg and I'll pass it on. How can we stop the fun-police for fucking it over (my major worry)? Last year I beleive it was mostly word of mouth, much better. So send me a …

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…
