The crack-down on Skunk cannabis in Amsterdam gives New Zealand a chance to corner the global market. Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis party leader Michael Appleby said ALCP policy would legalise cannabis for recreational and commercial purposes for anyone over 18. "The GST from tourism and other export markets could reach over $1 billion each year," he said. "The Dutch have banned cannabis over 15% THC and have restricted sales of cannabis to foreigners, undermining its appeal to cannabis-tourists." Mr Applebys said outlets like the Daktory in Auckland, where cannabis can be bought from a vending machine, showed such outlets were viable in New Zealand. "People from a…

The Bay Area is renowned for having some of the best produce in the world, and that reputation again extends to its sun-kissed cannabis. California's annual outdoor marijuana crop has come in, and despite global warming and heated federal threats, the harvest looks quite golden. Growers, dispensary operators, and experts say California's 2011 outdoor is bountiful, cheap, high-quality and more medicinal than in years past. While the federal government has publicly pilloried medical marijuana profiteers and exporters, the DEA generally is not interested in qualified patients cultivating marijuana according to state law. More people are growing more ganja than in year…

SAO PAULO: The Colombian President, Juan Manuel Santos, has called for the global legalisation of marijuana to help combat the trafficking of harder drugs and related violence. Mr Santos added his voice to a growing list of influential figures in Latin America demanding a rethink of the policies that have been used for decades to fight the drug trade. He said legalising softer drugs such as marijuana worldwide could help to improve international efforts to deal with harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin. ''The world needs to discuss new approaches … we are basically still thinking within the same framework as we have done for the last 40 years,'' he said. Aske…

Two Canadian researchers hope their work - mapping the cannabis sativa genome - will get rid of the stigma they say surrounds the cultivation of hemp and marijuana in Canada. The University of Saskatchewan's Jon Page and the University of Toronto's Tim Hughes hope other scientists will use their work to develop marijuana as a legitimate medical ingredient, and hemp as a high-quality, fastgrowing crop. "It's a useful plant," Page told Postmedia News on the phone from Saskatoon. "You can eat it, you can build with it, you can use it as medicine ... but, because of its reputation, it's hard to get funding to work with it." Using genome sequencing technology, Page and…

Absolute Madness!!! The War on Drugs in the US is out of control http://www.encod.org...19-SECONDS.html You hear a whole of statistics ... but Woah! And they are saying that that equates to approximately 750,000 , 3/4 of a Million Arrests for Cannabis in one Year. Truly Insane. Although I'd wonder how many were related to the Law changes in Those Few States For Medicinal Distribution etc. Still ... I'd want Investigation to Centre on How the Corporate Prison System Profits from such Massive Drug Arrest Numbers ... And How the Police are Obviously benefitting aswell ... While the laws are so suspiciously placed to keep this madness happening. Almost seems l…

A bit funny, im sure they are ok now. http://www.news.com.au/world/senior-citizens-wind-up-in-hospital-after-being-served-marijuana-brownies/story-e6frfkyi-1226164724318 Three seniors ended up in hospital suffering from nausea and dizziness after being served a surprise pick-me-up at a wake for a friend. Two women, 71, and a man, 82, complained of illness after filling up on brownies containing marijuana. According to police, the mourners had no idea they were biting off more than they could chew when the brownies were served up, the Guardian website reports. The ill residents, from California's Huntington Beach, only knew they were in strife when they co…

http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/images/icons/leaf.png Feds Give California Marijuana Dispenaries 45 Days to Shutdown! The US government will announce today, a state-wide crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries. U.S. Attorneys have sent out letters to at least 16 dispensaries in California, notifying them that they have 45 days to shutdown or face prosecution and confiscation of their assets. Besides sending nasty letters to the pot clubs, the attorneys also sent letters to landlords threatening to confiscate their property and demanding all rent proceeds ever received from the clubs. So the Obama administration has decided to go back on its promise not to pro…

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/07/netherlands-potency-cannabis-hard-drug?CMP=twt_gu Associated Press guardian.co.uk, Friday 7 October 2011 18.43 BST The Dutch government has said it will move to classify high-potency cannabis alongside hard drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy, the latest step in the country's ongoing reversal of its liberal policies. The decision means most of the cannabis now sold in Dutch coffee shops would have to be replaced by milder variants. But sceptics said the move would be difficult to enforce, and that it could simply lead many users to smoke more of the less potent weed. Possession of cannabis is technically illegal in th…

In uscita GIOVEDI' 15 SETTEMBRE 2011 nelle edicole delle principali città italiane e in oltre 100 punti di distribuzione! http://www.dolcevitaonline.it/foto/dv36home.jpg INTRO L’indifferenza: il peggiore degli atteggiamenti E’ vero, oggi le ragioni per indignarsi possono sembrare meno nette, o il mondo è troppo complesso. Chi comanda, chi decide? Non è sempre facile distinguere tra le tante correnti che ci governano. Non abbiamo più a che fare con una piccola elite della quale comprendiamo chiaramente gli intrighi. Il nostro è un mondo vasto, del quale intuiamo la non indipendenza. Viviamo in contesto d’interconnettività senza precedenti. Ma in que…
