After gathering my jaw from the floor I was amazed to find most of "social prejudices" I believed about hemp are false and has been manufacture to influence politics, manufacturing and primary produce to the incredible determent of the planets ecosystem. These lies concerning the flowers narcotic effects are so deep set that even people who regularly smoke mull are afflicted. I was also deeply disturbed by how these lies are directly endangering the planet and the future of all life on Earth. What am I talking about? The cause is a web site called “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” By Jack Herer and a story about the NORML Director’s recent encounters with the DEA. The lies?…

Source: Expatica.com Date: 14 Feb 2003 --- BRUSSELS - Belgium is set to permit the use of cannabis, following the passing of the country's new drugs law Thursday.

Burke fuels dope fire February 08, 2003 Opposition Leader Denis Burke said yesterday Territorians should be allowed to decide for themselves whether they smoke marijuana. He said the Government was misguided in its determination for police to target marijuana use. "The vast majority of marijuana use is recreational use," Mr Burke said. "It's harmless and the Government should concentrate on issues that are a concern to the community." As the former commander of 2nd Cavalry Regiment based at Robertson Barracks, Mr Burke said he tolerated marijuana consumption by his troops. "There are many people that will not drink alcohol, but will have the occasional smoke,…

Lib push on drug-drivers January 23, 2003 A DEVICE that can test for illegal drug use could help police combat people driving while under the influence of drugs, the State Opposition said yesterday. Infrastructure spokesman Brett Whiteley said the device, which only needs a swab of saliva, could hold the key to testing drivers suspected of being under the influence of illegal drugs. "The Cozart RapiScan, or a similar device, may be applicable for testing drivers who police reasonably believe may be under the influence of drugs such as marijuana," Mr Whiteley said. "Clearly the technology is available, or at least is on the horizon, to enable police to accurately a…

Tassie workers face new saliva drug test By DANNY ROSE January 21, 2003 A GROUND-BREAKING machine that can detect recent drug use in saliva samples in just 12 minutes has arrived in Tasmania. And its owner _ a Hobart private detective firm _ is marketing it to Tasmania's major employers. The Bellerive-based firm Thomas Whayman & McCarthy unveiled the Cozart RapiScan device yesterday. It could be in action on the state's worksites, under the name Integrity Sampling (Tas), by next week. Firm partner Colin Thomas said it was the "perfect workplace tool" as it detected drugs within about 24 hours of testing. Conventional drug-detection methods require a two-da…

A new front has opened in opposition to the war on drugs--a religious front. Several newly formed groups are contesting our prohibitionist, anti-drug strategies because they restrict religious freedom and "cognitive liberty." Drugs alter consciousness and "the right to control one's own consciousness is the quintessence of freedom," reads part of a manifesto of the Journal of Cognitive Liberties. The journal is one of many projects of the four-year-old Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics, a California- based, non-profit group that promotes intellectual freedom. The group defines cognitive liberty as "the right of each individual to think independently and aut…
