Australia's Green Odyssey: Unravelling the Cannabis Tapestry from Coast to Capital
Oz posted a topic in Australian Cannabis News,
Economic Implications: Where’s the Money?
Australia pumps $300 million yearly into policing cannabis, three-quarters of our illegal drug enforcement budget. Beyond finances, our youth face future shadows from minor cannabis offences. Interestingly, during '92-'93, such minor offences made up over 5% of reported crimes.
Canberra's Move: Shaking the Status Quo
A year back, Canberra revolutionised its stance:
Possession limit? 50 grams.
Grow it, but only two plants per person, and only outdoors.
But, buying seeds and selling? Still off-limits. And yes, Commonwealth laws still frown upon possession.
Diving Into Data: The Australian Cannabis Scene
Stats reveal that across regions like New South Wales to Tasmania, minor cannabis offences dominate. Meanwhile, Canberra's habits remain steady post-law changes, according to the Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System.
The Synthetic Curveball
Remember, synthetic cannabis ≠ organic cannabis. They differ majorly in composition and effects.
Our Cannabis Odyssey: The Way Ahead
Canberra's pioneering stance shows our evolving cannabis relationship. Labor MLA Michael Pettersson believes we need a holistic approach, not just law tweaks. Australia's at a critical cannabis crossroads, with robust debates and an attentive public. What's next? Stay tuned, Oz!

Oz,Improving OZ Stoners: Let Your Voice Be Heard!
Oz posted a topic in Community Feedback,
I hope everyone's doing okay amidst all the craziness that's been happening over the past few years. It's been a long time since OZ Stoners started, and we've grown quite a bit since then. But we've been hearing feedback that the site's structure can be a bit overwhelming and confusing to navigate.
So, we want to open up a discussion and poll to gather your thoughts and suggestions on how we can improve the structure of our community forums. We think that consolidating some of the forums and using tags to help with searching topics will make things easier for you. This way, you won't have to worry about topics getting lost or posted in the wrong categories.
We'd love to hear what you think about this idea and any other suggestions you may have. Your input is valuable to us, and we want to make sure that OZ Stoners is a great place for all of us to connect and engage with each other. So, please take a moment to vote in the poll and let's work together to make our community even better!

Quite a few MardiGrass speakers are already booked in including the new Victorian Legalise Cannabis MP’s Rachel Payne and
David Ettershank who will be joining their WA counterparts Dr Brian Walker and Sophia Moermond.
Also a special new mushroom speaker, Caine Barlow from Entheogenesis Australis, will be holding workshops.
All the usual favourite events are planned, like the Hemp Olympix, great Green Cabaret on Friday evening, Pot Poetry and Pot Art,
the Kombi Konvoy with the 420 on Saturday and the Big Rally on Sunday.
The Hemposium will be a full program again of course with a Medican preview planned for the Bush Theatre in Nimbin on Saturday February 25.
Last year’s program gives you a good idea of what to expect if you haven’t been to MardiGrass before.
You can buy a weekend pass now if you want to support the protest which would be much appreciated.
