I believe once the FTA with the US is signed it wont be long.
In the fine print there is a lot of standardisation of standards and laws that will affect our every day lives.
Our gov will not be able to resist the forces of globalisation.
Even if we cant grow the product it will be on the shelf with the ciggies and booze.
ewww i dont want it on the shelf like ciggies and booze really , i dont like supermarkets and their produce either .
i wonder what sort of punishment they are gonna hand down to us that want to grow our own ...
maybe it could get worse than now ,, avoiding federal taxes etc
thats my fear ,, while we are clicking our heels , we are having the rug pulled out from under our feet ...
Nothing will happen while evryone keeps on Bullshitting and sitting on their arse. Me included.
Keep going like that and it will be legal in no time hey. My point was no one is active in any reform at all. It has been discussed enough. The word is spread and still no action. In the last 12 months I've had many more discussions then several, probably into the hundreds. I try to inform a new person everyday. Still aint doing shit to legalise it. It wasn't a personal attack either mate, surely you can see with your own eyes Aussies aren't doing enough.
This is fucked and makes me paranoid and wonder if I should stop doing what I do ?
Then again I guess everyone is taking a risk

it certainly is fucked goldust ..so they have now lost their house to the crown under the proceeds of crime act ...more and more i'm also becoming paranoid , concerned , call it what you want but this has become more than just a seizure under the proceeds of crime act ..the police minister condones this by saying that these tough new laws are a response to the growing epidemic of ice !! wtf has this got to do with that ...i certainly think that the lack of weed contributes to the uptake of ice ...i resided in nsw back in the eighties and some of you would remember operation "banana" , where the police conducted a cannabis eradication program , if i remember correctly they removed 66,000 plants from the northern coastal region and overnight , because of the shortage of weed , speed became the norm ..and that is still happening , though now we have meth ..we will always have drugs in our communities so wouldn't it be better to have the softer option ...a mate was raided last year , for a few plants , and his assets were seized and he had quite a discussion with the detective in charge about this at the time ,about the growing use of ice versus weed , and he agreed with him ,also saying that the lack of pot created more problems , eg ..ice ..but what to do ? has this draconian law been tested in the high court ? surely if receipts can be produced showing that the house etc was obtained legally then that would be enough , i mean how can this thievery still happen ..i'm fucking angry about this , what can we do ..ok , i might be a bit naive here but like someone said a while ago , we are a apathetic bunch ..i've just rang the abc , discreetly , and had a chat with a reporter about running an article from a grower about all of this ..its something ...the person was very interested about this ..do we all sit on our arses and just take this or do we all unite , somehow ! fucked if i know , did i say i was angry ! i would like to think that if it happened to me that someone would go into bat for me ..sorry i'm not that articulate , but you get the drift ....
