SUPPORTERS of the Nimbin Lane Boys gathered outside Lismore courthouse to protest for "long overdue" cannabis law reform yesterday. Twenty nine men were arrested earlier this year as part of Strike Force Cuppa, an investigation into the ongoing supply of cannabis in Nimbin. The men, nicknamed Nimbin Lane Boys, appeared before court yesterday and will continue appearances today, surrounded by their angry friends and family who wish to "bring the boys back home". President of the Nimbin HEMP Embassy, Michael Balderstone, said in an email that most of the men were not allowed to enter Nimbin. [continues 245 words]
Victorians would be free to smoke and grow marijuana if a push by the Sex Party to legalise the drug is successful. On Wednesday, Sex Party MP Fiona Patten will introduce a motion to the upper house calling on the government to immediately remove criminal sanctions for the possession, use and cultivation of marijuana for personal use by people 18 and older. The motion will also urge the government to allow the drug to be grown by farmers, which would create an additional revenue source through taxation. [continues 268 words]
Victoria's medicinal cannabis is a step closer to being dispensed to children with severe epilepsy, Premier Daniel Andrews has declared after visiting the state's clandestine marijuana crop. Less than an hour after pictures were released of Mr Andrews inspecting the crop, the Premier announced the appointment of an independent medical committee to work out which patient cohort will be next to access medicinal cannabis. Victoria's medicinal cannabis is on track to be dispensed to the first group, children with severe epilepsy, next year, Mr Andrews says. [continues 201 words]
Australians are the world's heaviest users of marijuana, sharing that honour with the citizens of New Zealand and the United States. It's a kind of a pot-equivalent of the ANZUS treaty. We seem to have a lot of experience with marijuana, so it surprises me that Australia has lagged behind similar countries with socalled "medical marijuana". Catch-up we seem to be doing, though, with the ACT government recently announcing a scheme for medical marijuana. The plan is to "establish the ACT as a leader in the research and development of cannabis products . . . and develop a framework for the prescription, use and distribution of medicinal cannabis to those who need them on medical grounds". The big problem is that medical researchers are not clear about who actually needs medical marijuana, and that many doctors are anxious about prescribing such products. [continues 374 words]
$6m Funding a Big Step for Miles Family WITHIN minutes of the State Government announcing a $6 million medicinal cannabis trial this week, Blue Mountain Heights mother Rhonda Miles registered her son for the program which could save his life. Lachlan Miles, 16, has severe drug-resistant epilepsy which he has battled for years and dramatically changed the quick-witted teenager's life. He is now waiting to learn if he earned one of 30 spots on a clinical trial set to start by the end of the year. [continues 304 words]
In his article, "Why more drug consumption rooms are a must" (Comment, July 20, p14), Ross Fitzgerald highlights beautifully what is wrong with our current policy approach to illicit drugs. We are spending massive funds on a falsely labelled "war on drugs" which is really a war on drug users. We have handed the lucrative production and distribution of these psychoactive drugs over to the criminal class. As Fitzgerald points out, some resources that are being wasted on this misdirected war would be better used in minimising harms and rehabilitating those who have become addicted. [continues 90 words]
Sydney needs to operate safe rooms for users, write Matt Noffs and Alex Wodak. It is an indictment of our failed approach to drugs that the injecting centre in Kings Cross is, after 15 years, the only one in the country. Australia's once bold drug policy is now stuck. Our law enforcement leaders tell us that Australia cannot arrest and imprison our way out of our drug problems. Yet as Australia struggles with increasing problems from ice use, we haven't been prepared to try innovative approaches that appear to have worked overseas. [continues 704 words]
As a society, I ask you: "Do you want a welfare system where money is spent on food for families or illegal drugs pushed by predators?" The crystal meth wave responsibly reported by this newspaper and so alarming to all thinking people is swamping our emergency responders. Like all illegal drug flows, it is powered by cash. And this is where our welfare system fails our vulnerable Australians. We have always tried to limit the debilitating drugs, destroying generations of children, by attacking the supply. Our current police and welfare structure can only address the symptoms, not the cause of social disadvantage. [continues 1044 words]
Drug prohibition costs the nation billions of dollars a year in crime prevention, not including the untold cost of overdose, family trauma and overcrowded prisons. To legalise all drugs, let government laboratories manufacture under strict quality control and distribute through pharmacies. This will reduce accidental overdose deaths due to impure quality. Provide drugs at the price of tobacco and crime will fall. It will clear courts and empty jails, saving millions of dollars and reducing the costs of social security, which provides the families with support while the breadwinner is in prison. Also, the tax will provide money for a negative advertising campaign that has been so effective in reducing tobacco use. The war on drugs has been lost. Let's try a new approach. Sol Bell, Ellenbrook [end]
The Debate on Medicinal Cannabis Needs the Major Parties to Grow Up. I think I am the only member of parliament in Australia to acknowledge my recreational use of cannabis. In fact, I have enjoyed the many blessings that cannabis can bestow for a lot of my adult life and have not lost my mind or become a serial killer. Indeed, I became a politician and some have even said I would not have been elected without it! Jokes aside, I'm declaring my usage or non-usage of cannabis, just so everyone knows where I'm coming from. This debate would be far more informative if every journalist, every politician and every commentator on the subject of cannabis law reform did the same, instead of hiding their drug use, drug abuse or their nonuse in the closet. [continues 620 words]
Users have to break law The ACT government has rejected a push to create an effective amnesty for medicinal cannabis users by directing police not to charge them with drug offences. Canberrans who rely on medicinal cannabis to treat serious illness or chronic pain are currently forced to break the law to seek relief and a number, including campaigner Laura Bryant, have spoken publicly of their constant fear of arrest. Moves to establish legal medicinal cannabis cultivation are continuing federally, with changes to the Narcotics Drugs Act passed in February, and the Therapeutic Goods Administration and Department of Health advancing plans to lower barriers preventing access.

WA researchers have warned that cannabis use causes genetic mutations that can be passed on to children and grandchildren. University of WA scientists found cannabis alters a person's DNA structure, potentially exposing future generations to serious illnesses and diseases such as cancer. They said the implications for future generations had not been understood and were alarming. The link between cannabis use and illnesses such as cancer was known but the research was among the first to look at why it occurred and the impact on future generations. [continues 197 words]
Caregivers Fear a Legalised Drug May Arrive Too Late for Their Sick Family Members. Jai Whitelaw was 10 when he first took medical cannabis, given to him by his mother in a bid to treat the debilitating epilepsy that saw him endure up to 500 seizures a day. Faced with the stark choice of breaking the law in the hope of soothing his chronic pain, or denying him possible relief, Michelle Whitelaw reached breaking point. "I literally sat on the couch for two days, thinking 'Do I end his life and mine? Or do I risk helping him'," she said. [continues 736 words]
There's never been a more exciting time to be a drug policy researcher. That's the view of one, Professor Beau Kilmer, who was in Canberra this week for a conference at the National Portrait Gallery, hosted by the International Society for the Study of Drug Policy. Professor Kilmer, who sat on a panel to discuss the options and issues around cannabis regulation, said that while many people were under the impression marijuana was legal in places like the Netherlands, in fact what was happening in the United States was "unprecedented".

MARIJUANA is no more a gateway drug to opiate abuse than drinking milk is a gateway to alcohol abuse. "Nearly all people with substance abuse problems; most heroin users, initiated their drug use beginning with marijuana." This is about as useful as revealing that all alcoholics at one time drank mothers' milk. There is no proven connection between marijuana and heroin abuse nor is there any reliable evidence that "establishing cannabis as a third tranche legal drug, along with tobacco and alcohol, will increase drug abuse, including the expanding opioid and ice epidemic."

Adam Benjamin Says Medical Cannabis Could Be a Huge Export Crop for the Sunshine Coast and Today He Meet With Queenland Treasurer Curtis Pitt to Discuss His Plans to Start Farming It: ADAM Benjamin's goal of turning the Sunshine Coast into a world leading supplier of medicinal cannabis is a step closer with a bill tabled in the Queensland Parliament. And today, Mr Benjamin has a meeting with Queensland Treasurer Curtis Pitt to discuss his company Medifarm's business model. [continues 412 words]
If the war on ice can't be won why not make it legal, and get rid of the dealers and suppliers? At least, it will give some control, and help stop the illegal trade. Lee Williamson, Seville Grove [end]
Prohibition and enforcement have shown to be ineffective in reducing drug use and they often had the opposite effect (We can't win war on ice, says Premier, News 5/5). Prohibiting a drug drives it into the criminal world. Vulnerable young people are more likely to become addicts, and addicts become less willing or able to seek treatment. Profits from untaxed and uncontrolled illicit substances are profitable for criminals, and governments lose ability to minimise the impact or dent supply. We need to look seriously at demand. [continues 101 words]
It is hoped the article - We can't win war on ice, says Premier ( News 5/5) - promotes examination of alternatives to the "zero tolerance" policy of the failed "war on drugs". It is critical we look at drug laws and examine the failures associated with criminalising drug-related activities. A recent publication by Johns Hopkins Lancet Commission on Drug Policy and Health examined the scientific evidence. A conclusion was that policies meant to prohibit or greatly suppress drugs "are portrayed and defended vigorously by many policy makers as necessary to preserve public health and safety, and yet the evidence suggests that they have contributed directly and indirectly to lethal violence, communicable disease transmission, discrimination, forced displacement, unnecessary physical pain and the undermining of people's rights to health". I urge all to read this. It is critical that the issue is examined from a health rather than a criminal perspective so that effective long-term benefits can be achieved. Ian Godfrey, Bayswater [end]
A positive approach to the pandemic in drug use is necessary to control its distribution and usage. First, decriminalise drugs and place them under government control, like alcohol and tobacco, and eliminate the criminals who profit from usage. Second, treat drug use as an illness, like alcoholism and gambling. Drug users don't begin as criminals, they become so to support the habit (illness). The only winners are individuals and legitimate companies that profit from this scourge. John Kilkenny, Brentwood [end]
A number of critical airline staff have tested positive for hardcore drugs and alcohol while on the job, leaving passengers concerned about the protocols in place to keep them safe in the air. At least 14 Australian airline and airport employees operating in 'safety sensitive' roles came to work affected by alcohol and drugs in 2015, according to The Daily Telegraph. Three ground staff were found with traces of cannabis and methamphetamine in their system, an engineer tested positive for cocaine and a student pilot tested positive for cannabis.

What if LSD could treat PTSD, or magic mushrooms could help you quit smoking? Overseas research is advanced, but trials of psychedelic drugs can't get approval in Australia. Are we missing out on cures? Konrad Marshall reports. When Martin Williams' research plan was first rejected by an ethics committee in 2012, he understood why. The medicinal chemistry researcher could see some valid sticking points. For one, the psychiatrist attached to his detailed protocol didn't quite have the requisite clinical trials experience.

Colin Barnett has suggested the war on the drug ice is all but unwinnable, saying its supply into the WA market is "not possible" to stop. Speaking at a conference held by the WA Council of Social Services yesterday, the Premier painted a bleak picture of efforts to control the methamphetamine trade. Mr Barnett said that unlike organically derived drugs such as heroin or cannabis that had to be grown as a crop, ice could be manufactured overnight. As a result, he said it was much easier to produce and harder for law enforcement agencies to control. [continues 259 words]
NIMBIN'S 24th annual Mardigrass looks set to be epic, with 50% more tickets sold online than this time last year. Hemp Embassy president Michael Balderstone said the Mardigrass cannabis law reform protest and gathering had something to celebrate this year, with the legalisation of medicinal cannabis. "We're looking for some seriously good vibes at this protestival with a good harvest behind us and finally, after about 80 years, our elected rulers admitting our favourite herb is good medicine," he said.

DERRYN Hinch won't have a puff on a joint at Mardigrass, but he's willing to throw a bong in the Hemp Olympix. "Unlike Bill Clinton, I've not only never smoked pot, I've never inhaled it," he said. "I'm a rabid anti-smoker, so whether it's tobacco or cannabis it's not my thing. "If somebody wants to offer me a joint I won't be smoking it. "I'd have a go at bong throwing, not bong smoking though." [continues 316 words]
Secret government-run drug labs have started growing medicinal cannabis in Victoria to provide new treatment for nearly 500 children. And those that cannot afford newly legal medicinal cannabis will be given nearly $ 12 million in taxpayer-funded assistance to buy the drug, Premier Daniel Andrews says. Last week the government passed laws for medicinal cannabis but people seeking the treatment it will require a prescription - will have to wait until next year when the government-controlled product becomes available. The government warned that people getting treatments from other sources was illegal and would be a matter for the police. [continues 335 words]
In 1998, a special session of the United Nations General Assembly agreed to set a 10-year deadline to make the world "drug free". After an embarrassing failure to achieve this goal, the deadline was extended a further 10 years, setting the world up for another inevitable failure in 2019. In the years since the use, availability and variety of illicit drugs have escalated exponentially. It is estimated by the UK charity Transform Foundation that 300 million people worldwide used illegal drugs in 2012, contributing to a global market worth $US330 billion a year. [continues 626 words]
World leaders have an opportunity to act on the global drug problem that causes untold human suffering and costs billions a year. The discussions will have an immediate flow-on effect to changes in drug policy being contemplated in Australia and around the world.

After an embarrassing failure to achieve this goal, the deadline was extended a further 10 years, setting the world up for another inevitable failure in 2019. [continues 781 words]
VICTORIA has beaten New South Wales in becoming the first state to legalise medical marijuana. Children with severe epilepsy will have first access to clinical trials early next year. A small-scale marijuana cultivation will also be trialled at a Victorian facility. "It's absolutely heartbreaking to see families having to choose between breaking the law and watching their children suffer, and now . they won't have to," Health Minister Jill Hennessy said. [end]
IN THE US prohibition of drugs led by Harry Anslinger was predicated on racial grounds, cocaine and marijuana associated with African Americans and jazz and opioids with Chinese. Further cannabis had strong opposition from timber investments supplying the newspaper industries. Nixon's war on drugs continued this precedent. In an interview in 1994 with investigative journalist Dan Baum Nixon advisor John Erlichman admitted, "the Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people.

Medicinal cannabis supporters are pushing forward with plans to establish a dispensary in the ACT, similar to those found in some states of the United States where the drug is freely sold from shopfronts. Launching advocacy group The Med Shed at the Hellenic Club in Woden on Sunday afternoon, group co-ordinator Matthew Holmes said a large number of pain, nausea and seizure sufferers were forced to break the law to seek relief. Despite overseas evidence of the drug's effectiveness, the medical community in Australia remained slow to accept it as a viable treatment. [continues 482 words]
The Money Governments Pour into Stopping the Flow of Drugs Could Be Better Spent on Education, Treatment and Better Healthcare. You may have read recently that the late John Ehrlichman, a senior policy adviser to disgraced United States president Richard Nixon, admitted that the administration's 1971 declaration of a "war on drugs" was an invention, a lie. Its purpose was a political diversion; to create the perception of fear and uncertainty among the US population. It was directed at young blacks and leftist "activists" who became the scapegoats and collateral damage of the so-called "war". Know thy enemy. [continues 759 words]
THE average pot smoker in the Coffs-Clarence region spends $250 for an ounce of medium-quality marijuana or about $9 a gram when buying in bulk. For what is ostensibly a wild-growing weed, that is some serious money weighing down the pockets of drug dealers. The Coffs-Clarence figure comes from a website allowing users to submit their pot prices, which are then averaged out and published so crimson-eyed travellers know what they can expect. Submissions have been tendered from towns all over the country. [continues 176 words]

THERE appears to be an inexorable advance in acceptance of the ubiquitous use of party drugs and a concomitant approach to safe use of these drugs at music festivals. In NSW a group of doctors, led by Dr Alex Wodak, president of the Drug Law Reform Foundation, is preparing to provide drug testing facilities at music festivals, giving sound scientific and medical advice to recreational drug users on site. Experience has shown that this approach saves more young lives than the current saturation police enforcement policy. [continues 153 words]
No one wants another summer of deaths at music festivals. Not the organisers, the health experts, the government, the festival-goers. Nor the parents left to wonder and worry when their children go to these events. But how to prevent it? The best efforts of police, teams of sniffer dogs and the threat of arrest have failed to make a dent in Australia's love affair with "party drugs". We are many years into the relationship and use has not decreased. Meanwhile, the potency of ecstasy has shot up and new psychoactive substances are coming onto the market, increasing the risks for those taking illicit substances and making it harder for medical personnel to work out the best treatment for sufferers. [continues 414 words]
Of all the conflicts that the United States embarked upon in the past 100 years, President Richard Nixon's war on drugs - launched in June 1971 - was arguably the most futile. The aim was to reduce the illegal trade in drugs by criminalising their production, sale, possession and consumption. An army law enforcement agency equipped with all the resources the most prosperous and technologically advanced nation on earth could muster was enlisted to reinforce this prohibition. However, for all the national treasure expended and the millions of lives lost or blighted, the war has achieved little. Estimates of the size of the US' illicit drug trade are far from precise, but it's estimated that users spend about $100 billion annually, sustaining and enriching large criminal organisations inside and outside the country.

This week federal parliamentarians will discuss with world experts ways to minimise harm caused by illicit drugs. At a national drug summit, legislators will also be reminded of the sobering reality that Australians consume illegal drugs at concerning levels. A 2014 United Nations report found, for example, Australians lead the world in ecstasy use. The so-called war on drugs has failed, here and in every nation that embraced it. Former Victorian police commissioner and head of the National Ice Taskforce Ken Lay last year encapsulated the views of many informed people when he said "we can't arrest our way out of this". Former UN chief Kofi Annan made the same case in these pages only last Sunday. [continues 440 words]
A leading Canberra doctor behind a plan to roll out a private pill testing trial at music festivals believes it could persuade up to 60 per cent of people who use the service not to take potentially dangerous drugs. Fairfax Media revealed on Sunday that Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation president Dr Alex Wodak and Canberra physician Dr David Caldicott planned to run the trial at Sydney music festivals without police or state government approval, potentially breaking the law. The controversial service, which would allow festival-goers to submit their drugs for testing at music venues would "save people's lives", Dr Caldicott told The Canberra Times. [continues 426 words]
A Perth-based medicinal marijuana company hopes to grow its first crops and manufacture products in WA by this time next year. Laws to create a national licensing scheme for growers passed Federal Parliament yesterday, paving the way for the legal use of cannabis by people with painful and chronic illnesses. The changes to the Narcotic Drugs Act create a national body that can issue licences to growers to cultivate medicinal marijuana. Auscann, which is backed by former Liberal MP Mal Washer, plans to apply for a licence. [end]
THE establishment of a national regulator to supervise and allow Australian farmers to grow medicinal cannabis has passed the Senate, but hurdles remain to making the drug legal for medical purposes. The Turnbull government bill was passed in the Senate yesterday, with bipartisan support, to allow patients to access medicinal cannabis products produced and grown in Australia. Health Minister Sussan Ley described the new laws as the "missing piece" for patients, but Greens leader Richard Di Natale said there was still work to be done. [continues 86 words]
THE New South Wales Government's Stoner Sloth anti-marijuana campaign cost taxpayers $350,000 and 265 public servant work hours just to be internationally ridiculed. Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi uncovered the details under a freedom of information request into the failed #StonerSloth social media campaign. It set the government back $351,790, including $36,386 paid to advertising firm Saatchi and Saatchi. The government spent $115,000 on research, including $64,000 for market research, $28,000 for a Sax Institute and University of NSW literature review on the effectiveness marijuana education campaigns and $23,000 for University of Technology Sydney research. Production company 8Com took home $59,000 and $99,990 went to media agency Universal McCann. Actors, including the hirsute star, were paid $28,000. According to PriceOfWeed.com, the government could have bought about 30kg of high-quality marijuana for the total amount. [end]
The Turnbull government will on Wednesday introduce a national scheme into Parliament to licence medicinal cannabis growers. Although medicinal cannabis is available for particular patient groups and clinical trials, it is now illegal to grow and import most medicinal cannabis products, leading some patients to buy them from the black market and run the risk of prosecution for drug use and possession. Health Minister Sussan Ley hoped for bipartisan support for legal changes that she said would help chronically ill patients in allowing therapeutic products to be grown on a larger scale to meet patient demand. She was confident a single cultivation scheme rather than state- and territory-based schemes, would hasten regulation and patients' access to medicinal cannabis. "A national regulator will also allow the government to closely track the development of cannabis products for medicinal use from cultivation to supply and curtail any attempts by criminals to get involved," she said. It is unclear whether the scheme will gain enough Senate support, because it differs from a separate Greens-led bill for a national regulator that would oversee growth, manufacture and distribution of medicinal cannabis. This model, introduced into the Senate in 2014, has support from both Liberal and Labor senators. [end]
Given that the evidence is clear that the current regime of drug prohibition isn't working, it can only be that ideology is overruling sense when we continue this absurd and costly war on drugs. Climate change sceptics seem to fit the same criteria yet their motives seem less clear. Science told us that cigarettes are bad for us and we acted on that advice albeit after much resistance. Could we please cut to the chase on these others issues and save ourselves a lot more grief ? Greg Leisner Copeland [end]
The Herald identifies that organised crime groups have become so successful at importing drugs into Australia that the wholesale price being paid for ice, cocaine and ecstasy has dramatically fallen in the past 18 months ("Drug supply soars as imports get cheaper", January 22). Australia has been involved in other wars that were debacles: Vietnam and Iraq. But even those saw governments of the day eventually admit the country's folly and withdraw. I can only hope that our longest war, that on drugs, will reach a similar ignominious end in my lifetime. Then perhaps all the politicians with an interest in this war - as well as law enforcement officers, judicial and magisterial officers, corrections officers, lawyers, probation and parole officers - can begin to put their efforts into something that is not such a stupendous dead end, insofar as the betterment of society is concerned. I am worried that there may be some truth in the words of a police officer in that superb crime drama, The Wire, when he said "the war on drugs is not a war because wars have an end".

But Cannabis Users Say They Are Avoiding Detection POLICE have warned Northern Rivers cannabis users that every police car is a potential drug testing unit. But cannabis users say they are outsmarting mobile drug swab tests by swigging vinegar, gargling mouthwash, drinking chocolate milk and chewing on vitamin C. Thousands of people are using Facebook groups to avoid roadside drug tests. With one in four Northern Rivers motorists testing positive for cannabis between April and December 2015 an average of 141 positive tests every month literally thousands of residents have taken to social media to prevent detection.

Sydney Awash With Cocaine, Ice, Ecstasy Organised crime groups have become so successful at importing drugs into Australia that the wholesale price being paid for ice, cocaine and ecstasy has dramatically fallen in the past 18 months. The NSW Crime Commission says the illegal drug trade remains the main source of income for organised crime in Australia and at present illicit substances are in "plentiful supply". Fairfax Media has learnt that the wholesale price paid by Australian criminal groups to import cocaine from overseas was as high as $280,000 a kilogram three years ago. Eighteen months ago it had dropped to $240,000 a kilogram and now sells below $200,000 and as low as $180,000. The cost for a kilogram of ice has fallen in the past 18 months from $220,000 to as low as $95,000 and ecstasy had dropped from $65,000 to $37,000. [continues 449 words]
As the Status of Drug Use in Victoria Is Debated, Lessons Can Be Learnt From the US. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. In January 1964, the Beatles first broke onto the US Billboard chart. In January, the US surgeon general announced that scientists had found conclusive evidence linking smoking to cancer and thus launched a highly successful 50-year public-health fight against tobacco. In August, the North Vietnamese fired on a US naval ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, which led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the public phase of the Vietnam War. Alongside an accelerating deployment of conventional troops would come their widespread use of marijuana and heroin. [continues 822 words]
OPINIONS of The Northern Star's online readers are divided on the controversial issue of saliva testing motorists to identify who is driving with illicit drugs present in their system. When the paper shared to its Facebook page a story about Monday's anti-saliva testing protest held outside Lismore Court, more than 40 readers commented. The majority of the comments supported the use of random drug testing by police. Sara Elizabeth Carr posted: "Don't do drugs or drink and drive. Simple." [continues 173 words]
