Darn, what will I do with my air-tickets now?

:thankyou: Curious how the Police (and this seems particularly the case in New Zealand where we smoke more pot than Jamaica) fail to understand why ANYONE would shot at a cop 'over cannabis'. I'm not making excuses for anyone, but it is NEVER the pot... it is sometimes money as it was for...

Re: Woman Found Hanged by Prohibitions insideous influence BROWNSVILLE - A 32-year-old woman was discovered hanging from a make-shift noose in her cell at the 73rd Police Precinct on East New York Avenue in Brooklyn Friday, Dec. 18.... snip.... A source reportedly told the New York Post that it...

"Evidence Is In" and is exonerative...... What should be a matter of social justice and inclusive politics has been reduced to the logical equivalent of water-boarding. The failure of 'due process' in the USA is dirt on the hands of those who govern and they should be held to account. It...

Media are complicit in the matrix of dysfunction. This was noted at the NZ Beyond 2008 NGO meetings.

The V8 driver was tested for the presence of metabolites of cannabis. The metabolites are the left overs, the residual chemical structure from the active ingredient. They are not proof of impairment rather the opposite, their existence shows that what ever THC (and any impairment associated with...

> "Marijuana comes from the Cannabis Sativa plant. " This misrepresents the case. Marijuana is a perjorative descriptor assigned by those who know when you control the language, you control the debate. > "It can grow under practically any conditions that support life." How embarrassing...

Nicotine masks early onset of cancer from the immune system, whereas cannabis does not. The logic may defy redneck journalists, populist politicians and prohibitory police but the epidemiology evidence is in, it is exonerative, whereas the continuing 'research' delusion makes for injustice on a...

Prof Fergusson is right on the money, the NZ debate was thwarted. But long before 2003. It was thwarted in 1996 when the National Drug Policy avoided the legislative implications of doing the absolutely essential cost-benefit analysis. Absent a baseline all the rest just become words in the...
