Together with his girlfriend the man, who has not been named for legal reasons, rented a property in the capital Vienna in which to grow the plants. Police, who caught the Millionaire winner as he made a delivery to a customer, said he had managed to harvest at least ten batches wort…

A LIVER transplant saved Larry Hagman when doctors gave him six months to live. But after going back to his old drinking ways, the former Dallas star says he doesn't deserve a second chance. The 72-year-old star, who played scheming oil baron JR Ewing in the 1980s soap, has developed life-threatening problems with his replacement liver. He ruled out being given yet another one, as he is unwilling to deprive anyone else who might need it. "I wouldn't have it even if it meant I had another 20 years," he said. "It doesn't scare me. You are going to die eventually anyhow." Hagman had a liver transplant in 1995 after his own was riddled with cirrhosis and cancer. Do…

Cannabis contradictions in Holland, the never-ending story. Dutch Justice Minister Donner and Health Minister Hoogervorst want to ban Nederweed from coffeeshops, high THC marihuana threatens the health of smokers, they state. The Amsterdam City Council wants to legalise the production of Nederweed, in order to get a transparent situation, and to get the production out of the hands of criminals. Who will win, The Hague or Amsterdam? Translation: “Smoking Nederweed can have very damaging physical and mental effects. The number of reports of psychosis amongst the youth, after smoking Dutch hash has increased enormously, according to the Ministry of Health.” Source: De…

Washington -- The Justice Department wants to significantly expand the government's ability to monitor online traffic, proposing that providers of high-speed Internet service be forced to grant easier access for FBI wiretaps and other electronic surveillance, according to documents and government officials. A petition filed this week with the Federal Communications Commission also suggests that consumers be required to foot the bill. Law enforcement agencies have been increasingly concerned that fast-growing telephone service over the Internet could be a way for terrorists and criminals to evade surveillance. But the petition also moves beyond Internet telephony, lea…

By Don Farmer A former policeman who last night admitted on national television that he had smoked cannabis during the time he was an undercover cop was a Wairarapa detective.

Posted by CN Staff on February 28, 2004 at 09:59:16 PT Letter To The Editor By Michael R. Butz Source: Chicago Tribune Original article. Chicago -- This is in response to "Marijuana is not medicine," by Andrea Barthwell, a deputy director at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (Commentary, Feb. 17). Barthwell failed to include some very important truths not only about medicinal marijuana but, more important, the government's determination to keep facts, truth and the ability to make our own health-care decisions from us. Her commentary should not be read in a health-care conte…

‘Pharmacy weed to expensive and of inferior quality’ Source: Haarlems Dagblad By: Monique Verkerk. Haarlem 21-02-2004 The Mediweed that became available in the pharmacies, from September 2003, is too expensive and of an inferior quality. This is being stated by the Foundation for Patients Interests (PMM), coffeeshop owners and Mediweed users. The pharmacy weed is three times more expensive than in coffeeshops and is not refunded by the Health Insurance Companies, except for a few cases. Less than 4 percent of the total number of (medical) cannabis users has been to the pharmacy, since it has been legalised. According to Ger de Zwaan, chairman of the PMM, the results…

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair is facing a furious backlash over plans to introduce random drugs tests in schools. Head teachers and drugs experts condemned them as unworkable, poorly thought out and certain to infuriate parents. Guidelines will be issued next month to help principals bring in urine tests and sniffer dogs to rid their schools of illicit drugs. But principals' organisations warned that few schools, if any, were likely to adopt the idea. One teaching union leader declared herself "horrified", adding: "I cannot see how on Earth it's going to work." There was concern over who would meet bills running into the thousands for urine tests and anger tha…

HEAD teachers in British schools will be given new powers to order pupils to undergo random tests for illegal drugs. Prime Minister Tony Blair told Britain's News of the World: "If heads believe they have a problem in their school then they should be able to do random drug testing."

"Guidance will be given to head teachers next month which is going to give them specifically the power to do random drug testing within their schools," Blair told the tabloid. The plans drew a mixed response from opposition politicia…
