High jinks at Nimbin

[Tom]

Smoke has started to rise over the northern New South Wales town of Nimbin, heralding the start of this year's cannabis celebrations.

 

Organisers say it is the one time of the year when tolerance for the drug rules.

 

A crowd of 10,000 is expected for the event which will include the Hemp Olympics and the Marijuana Music Awards.

 

The Hemp Olympics will have the bong, throw and yell competition and for those with a more creative bent there is the joint rolling and the marijuana music awards.

 

A world record attempt will be made with the "big joint light-up".

 

Organiser Andrew Kavasilas says the record attempt is genuine.

 

"The Guinness people haven't got back to us yet but they are definitely having a look at our paperwork," he said.

 

Mr Kavasilas says there will be plenty of activities to keep people smiling.

 

In addition to the cannabis-inspired games there will be more serious talks on the uses of hemp and the links between the drug and mental health.

Mental health and cannabis is related for sure.

Those law makers that make it Illegal are fucking Nuts. They are the ones with the mental issues.
