Leis mais duras na Austrália
O Governo Australiano planeia endurecer as suas leis relativas à canabis, reduzindo o limite legal de posse de 30 g para 10 g e banindo a venda de todos os produtos e parafernália de fumo.
A ser introduzida ainda esta semana, a nova legislação irá repelir o Acto de Controlo da Canabis, do antigo governo trabalhista, que permitia às pessoas cultivarem 2 plantas para uso pessoal.
Sob as novas leis, qualquer pessoa apanhada com pequenas doses de erva terá que sujeitar-se a aconselhamento e não poderá ser de novo apanhada, nos três anos seguintes, se quiser limpar o seu registo criminal.
Qualquer pessoa apanhada a vender implementos ilegais para fumo a menores sujeita-se a uma multa de 10,000 dólares australianos.
Apesar de admitir que nunca experimentou a "droga", o Primeiro-Ministro Colin Barnett disse que as autoridades de saúde são inflexíveis na sua crença de que "a canabis de hoje é de longe muito mais potente e mais letal do que a canabis dos anos 60 e 70."
"O que espero que aconteça é que haja uma redução na utilização de canabis e que nos tornemos mais eficazes a ajudar as pessoas a ficarem longe das drogas e a reabilitá-las, se tiverem problemas com drogas," diz o Sr. Barnett. "Quase 80 por cento das admissões (em hospitais psiquiátricos) são relacionadas de alguma forma com drogas."
Sob a segunda nova lei, a polícia do oeste australiano terá poderes sem precedentes para revistar as pessoas à procura de drogas e armas.
A nova lei de buscas, a ser introduzida antes do Natal, significa que a polícia já não terá de provar em tribunal as bases para suspeita.

A canabis é letal? Grande mentira!
Tal como dizer que 80% das admissões são relacionadas com drogas (quais drogas?)! Isso não nos diz nada acerca das verdadeiras causas de doenças mentais e desordens emocionais.
E quantas vezes temos de repetir que as leis contra as drogas não ajudam as pessoas a ficarem longe delas?
Revoltante, não achas?

Its just crazy what they are doing there. And as said before 80% of the people who enter psychiatric hospitals are drug addicts? Well sure but just for the sake of being correct say which drugs. They are allways in every country taking on the battle against marihuana it seems like its a sport for politicians to catch as many stoners or recreational smokers. I wish they'd do some research on it instead of stigmatizing it all the time. Numbers don't lie but as long as those bastards earn taxes on tobacco and alcohol they will keep on selling them even when they know it kills and its bad for you're health. Marihuane may not be healthy eather (no substance is in my opinion) but in the least not as dangerous as alcohol.
I challenge the ministers to go drinking for a whole night and the next week to smoke a few joints in the evening see which one will make you feel worse in the morning you're body cant lie.

There is something that we in the West consider as one of the greater goods of our society, and that is: personal responsibility.
There have been and always will be people that can't handle (certain) freedom(s). But the way this "drug problem" is "treated", illustrates what government and hierarchy in general do to people. It reduces an adult individual to that of a helpless child that needs to be directed and sometimes punished for his "misconduct". Giving children a sense of responsibility is the best way towards responsible adulthood. Forcing children to go in a certain way makes them perhaps obedient, but eventually creates frustration and hatred towards the one governing them.
When will government implement the approach of giving more personal responsibility? In my opinion: never. Or, as long as people point their fingers towards government to solve problems, for which the people themselves don't feel empowered anymore, this method will remain. This approach undermines government's very right of existence. All the trivial rules and regulations would become obsolete when people's personal responsibility would become something that would be emphasized throughout society.
On the other hand, government only emphasizes personal responsibility when it legitimizes control over the individual. They also emphasize it when there is money to be made.
What actually gives government the right to govern your personal life with all it's aspects?
Apart from all this there is also always the aspect that mind-expanding substances change people's views. In other words it makes people less suggestible to, say, the dominant view that is mostly propogated by the media. Right now the chosen drugs by the (forced upon) global dominant culture are:
1. Media
2. Alcohol
3. Caffeïne
4. Nicotine
A proven cocktail that has been very succesful at keeping the status quo.
Always and always ask yourself: Qui Bono? (Who profits?)
