Hello to all oz stoners It's only day 3 so there's not too much to report but we have reserved this name with ASIC Medical Cannabis Research Board (Australia) P/L The Australian and state governments have had plenty of time to look out for the health interests of cannabis users. They have failed us in every respect. Patients with serious and chronic illness have been denied acess to this great herb which has proven medicinal applications. It will be set up by users for users. We will be doing our own research into the benefits of cannabis and lobbying for protection for users, growers and compassion clubs. The P/L will need to be shown until exemption by ASIC. lo…

http://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2015/10/28/new-setback-for-medical-marijuana-spray By Pat Anson, Editor A British drug maker has announced more disappointing results from clinical studies on the use of a medical marijuana spray to treat cancer pain. GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: GWPH) said results from two new Phase III studies showed that its Sativex oral spray worked no better than a placebo in treating cancer pain. That was the same finding the company reported in January from an earlier study involving nearly 400 patients in the United States, Mexico and Europe.

A new study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finds that drivers who use marijuana are at a significantly lower risk for a crash than drivers who use alcohol. And after adjusting for age, gender, race and alcohol use, drivers who tested positive for marijuana were no more likely to crash than who had not used any drugs or alcohol prior to driving ....For marijuana, and for a number of other legal and illegal drugs including antidepressants, painkillers, stimulants and the like, there is no statistically significant change in the risk of a crash associated with using that drug prior to driving. But overall alcohol use, measured at a blood alcohol con…

How Australians feel about marijuana Cannabishttp://www.roymorgan.com/findings/6026-how-australians-feel-about-marijuana-201501272145 Judging by recent media reports, the use of marijuana for medical purposes could become legal in Australia in the foreseeable future.

But how do Australians feel about the legalisation of marijuana? Roy Morgan Research has been asking Australians 14+ the question, ‘In your opinion should the smoking of marijuana be made leg…

First go at starting a poll! It strikes me at the ripe old age of 46 that I should just tell my parents about my cannabis use. But, I'm scared!! Am I alone? Or is it no big deal to share this with your olds? My mother is most definitely very against this "demon" drug!

Gonna be a little difficult for some of the long term smokers, but who remembers their first toke? I myself have been smoking for twenty six years, but the memory of my first hit still remains, albeit a traumatic one, kind of. Just curious to see what other experiences were had when first contact with mj was established. Anyway, this was my first time. I was around fourteen at the time, growing up on the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne. The suburb I was from had a reputation for being a thug neighbourhood, my Mothers cat was nailed to the fence because my older sister wouldn't date a boy in her class, okay, root a boy in her class, I was the fat kid at school and, we…

This is one of the most concerning topics regarding cannabis & safe consumption. What we are trying to discover is if Australians tend to mix tobacco with our cannabis more than our overseas friends, so please answer the correct poll option.

Here is the link: http://ndri.curtin.e.../research/grow/ And here is the participant information: Discussion and feedback are welcome - I'd love to hear what you think of the project.

Hi everyone. I've been thinking about starting a thread like this so I don't forget all the cannabis related articles I read, and so others have the opportunity to read them too. Please feel free to add to the thread, but please only add scientific peer-reviewed articles. I actually found this one mentioned on the NCPIC website, I imagine they have no idea what the articles they mention are about and have already spotted some pro canna ones in there. This one has some interesting info regarding yeilds of illicitly grown cannabis, and may be helpful when challenging estimations of yeild made by the police when they steal your babies. Even mentions scrogging Va…
