"Specialist search teams and dog units were among those who took part in the raids. During the early part of the crackdown more than 400 kilos of cannabis was seized. However, later in the day a very large seizure was made after more of the drug was found in Norfolk. The total haul is understood to have come to 1.8 tonnes." http://www.coastalscene24.co.uk/news/ipswich_shotley_8million_cannabis_gang_due_to_be_sentenced_1_1673342 Those cops in melbourne thought they had made a big haul. Pissy compared to what cops were stealing from growers in england around the same time. Ofcourse all of these raids won't make a dent in the industry. In 20 years when crops are legal e…

http://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/news/court/7877009/Black-out-on-artificial-cannabis A man hallucinated and lost consciousness while driving after smoking artificial cannabinoid K2 Black, the Invercargill District Court was told last week. The guy was taken to hospital with chest pains. Other side-effects include extreme anger and high levels of anxiety and psychotic symptoms. The health minister of NZ reckons it will be banned soon. Screw that rubbish. I've been smoking regular weed for decades and never experienced any shit like that. This laboratory weed extract is dangerous crap. It wouldn't be around if politicians hadn't banned harmless traditional dope.

http://www.420magazine.com/2012/10/brad-pitt-blasts-u-s-war-on-drugs-calls-for-policy-rethink/ Brad Pitt Blasts U.S. ‘War On Drugs’, Calls For Policy Rethink "Brad Pitt has thrown his weight behind a documentary that blasts America’s 40-year war on drugs as a failure, calling policies that imprison huge numbers of drug-users a “charade” in urgent need of a rethink." “I know people are suffering because of it. I know I’ve lived a very privileged life in comparison and I can’t stand for it,” Pitt told Reuters on Friday, calling the government’s War on Drugs policy a “charade.” “It’s such bad strategy. It makes no sense. It perpetuates itself. You make a bust, you d…

A woman has been convicted of giving cannabis to her 3-month old baby through her breast milk, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in New Zealand. The 29-year-old Wanganui woman was charged with administering a class C controlled drug, namely cannabis, to a person under the age of 18. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced in Wanganui District Court last week to six months' supervision. The charges were laid after a police search of a house for drugs. The woman's partner also faced charges over the drug raid. Acting Senior Sergeant Andrew McDonald said the woman's actions amounted to child abuse. "People often believe drug-related activities are victimless,…

The answer to the question "did you inhale?" may be yes, even if you're only guilty of breathing the air in Rome. That's because a new study says there are trace amounts of cocaine and marijuana in the air of eight Italian cities. Researchers at Italy's Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research published their findings, which [...] View the full article

A police officer with a man accused of harvesting cannabis in San Salvador. Photograph: Yuri Cortez/AFP/Getty Images When the Uruguayan president José Mujica was asked about his proposal to make a historic break with global prohibition and put in place a legal, state-controlled market for cannabis, he replied: "Someone has to be first." In fact, recent years have seen reforms to cannabis policy and law proceeding apace around the world. The trend for decriminalisation of possession for personal use (with civil or administrative penalties replacing criminal ones) has spread across much of Europe, Latin America, and beyond. Some countries have gone further, finding vari…

After being the centre of attention at London Fashion week, making her face into a small garden with a flower-headpiece that had to be seen to be believed, Lady Gaga has found herself on the front pages again after puffing on a spliff onstage in Amsterdam Gaga told the audience she was in the “appropriate place” to talk about her belief that cannabis should be legalised. “I want you to know it has totally changed my life,” the New York pop superstar told her audience at the Ziggo Dome Amsterdam. “It has been a totally spiritual experience for me with my music.” Gaga picked up the ready-rolled marijuana joint off the stage where a generous fan has thrown it. She…

Medical marijuana patients in Los Angeles can exhale a sigh of relief. At least for now. LA's marijuana dispensary ban, which was set to go into effect in one week, has been temporarily suspended after patients and supporters delivered 50,000 signatures to force a referendum on the ban, the city clerk's office told The Huffington Post Thursday. The ban, which has the approval of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Police Chief Charlie Beck, intends to shut down about 1,000 marijuana dispensaries in the city, including those that have complied with the law. Instead of using dispensaries, groups of three or fewer marijuana patients would be allowed to grow marijuana in their hom…
