By chance I stumbled upon this research paper and was wondering how we could counter-attack it! It's very in depth and well referenced but it talks about all the usual stuff to scare parents and teenagers. The aim of the report is to encourage the Government to increase awareness of the dangers of cannabis use and introduce campaigns similar to the 'bloody idiot' anti alcohol campaign. It was also written in March this year. Here is the link: http://www.drugfree.org.au/fileadmin/Media...nnabisPaper.pdf Maybe we could write up a research paper ourselves in response to this?

This book is very informative, entertaining (includes poems and parodies), in places funny, but mostly the voice of a medical sufferer who is denied the right of his own choice of medicication, that he knows works for him. It cannot be accessed through google search at the moment (so it appears) and could take a few weeks for that to be possible, but people have already accessed it by typing the URL into the address bar/space at the top of the web page you're on. If, for some reason, you can't, please let us know. Although this book is free to read, it is still copyright. However, we want as many people to read it as possible, so please feel free to pass the website ont…

I have done a lot of research and reading on the isomerization of THC and the conversion into THC-acetate. Everything you read says that isomerization can double the potency of your hash oil and converting it to THC acetate will double it again. Now I have done the research and have read about it on all of the forums that deal with this topic, but I have NEVER found any first hand experiences with either of these. Is there anyone here that has gone through the isomerization process more then once, that can comment on how it worked and whether or not it is worth the effort? Is there anyone that has some extensive knowledge on THC acetate and is there anyone that has …

Courtesy: cannabisculture.com (SALEM, Ore.) - The history of cannabis products and their use has been long, colorful and varied. "To the agriculturist, cannabis is a fiber crop; to the physician, it is an enigma; to the user, a euphoriant; to the police, a menace; to the trafficker, a source of profitable danger; to the convict or parolee and his family, a source of sorrow". The fact is that cannabis has been held simultaneously in high and low esteem a…

This Changes Everything Cannabidiol Now! By FRED GARDNER Two plants strains relatively rich in cannabidiol (CBD) have been identified by an analytic test lab recently established to serve the medical cannabis industry in California. That's two major stories in one sentence. Let's take it from the bottom… In December a lab in the East Bay started testing samples of cannabis for pathogenic mold and the presence of three cannabinoids –THC, CBD and CBN (cannabinol). THC is the main psychoactive compound in the cannabis plant. CBD is a cannabinoid with intriguing medical potential that gets bred out of cannabis when the breeder's goal is high THC content (as it has bee…
