Significant Border Detections

 

Detections of cannabis at the Australian border in 2007–08 totalled 53.4 kilograms, nearly

eight kilograms more than 2006–07. Of the 651 detections, only 21 were above 100 grams,

with seven above one kilogram. The majority of these detections were from the Netherlands,

while Thailand accounted for the greatest total weight (see Figure 18).

Four-hundred and sixty-six cannabis detections, representing nearly three-quarters of the

total, involved seeds. Occasionally detected in 100 gram, 250 gram or 500 gram packets,

the majority were small weight detections intended for home cultivation. Among the seven

detections over one kilogram, five involved attempted imports of hemp protein nutritional

supplements and shampoos. While hemp protein falls within the import prohibitions on all

parts of the cannabis plant, this substance is not a commonly used drug.

Hahah , they mainly got seeds my condolences to those who got their seeds nabbed , but this shows how much is going on ... and I like it

If that's all the seeds they did nab ... Imagine how many got through haha!

 

And geez , way to make 'emselves look smart ... Look at that last bit lmao , as Far as I knew Hemp Protein is not known for It's use as a "drug" EVER.

Hehahehehehah ... good larf.

O.k. now I read the next half ... ...

Cheerz again

P.s. wtf!?

Price:

The price for a ‘deal’ (approximately one gram) of cannabis in Australia has remained relatively

stable in most jurisdictions. In 2007–08, the price of a gram of cannabis head ranged between

$20 and $35. However, prices in remote locations can be significantly higher. In remote

communities in the Northern Territory, prices for a deal regularly reach $50 to $100 per gram.

Woah! Anyone payed between $560 and $980 for an ounce lately?

[DownUnderDoper]

$20 per gram sounds about right (well correct, I wouldn't say it was right).

 

 

$100 per gram in NT.. that's scary shit.

[iamnotacop]

Cannabis cultivation in Afghanistan is becoming increasingly lucrative, with prices rising in the last two years to US$56 per kilogram in July 2008.

 

Wow, I want to move there, except for the war/suicide bo0mbers/americans/terrorists etc. I bet they would need to smoke a lot of weed just to survive their living conditions intact emotionally.

 

Marijuana, which is high in psychoactive components, is commonly referred to as cannabis.

Here I am thinking it was the other way around.

 

All other fearmongering statistics are noted, although I am doubtful that they actually looked into the research properly, other than to find the info they was looking for.

 

In 2007–08, cannabis was detected in postal articles, air cargo parcels, luggage of air passengers, concealed in food, t-shirts, and CD and DVD covers.

 

Let's hope the International seed sellers note this bit and adjust tactics accordingly.

 

For clients aged 10–19 years, cannabis (47 per cent) preceded alcohol (29 per cent) as the most common drug for which treatment was provided (AIHW, 2008a).

 

Strange that the illegal (read: controlled by black market) products are more readily available than legal (read: alcohol) substances. Also how many of these people in the statistics were referred to counselling over doing jail time?? Hmm..

 

The importation of cannabis into Australia generally remains unattractive due to a number of factors, including abundance of available product through domestic cultivation and risk of detection at the border.

 

Hmm, an abundance?? So they are either lying or not doing their job very well.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, it was as much as could be expected from people who are trying to keep their jobs.
