You have to make application to the courts for your record to be expunged, after 10 yrs of a clear record, but Interpol still retain it, and probably other databases outside of Australian control. Lawyer's advice (paraphrased): "Officer, I am aware that it is a citizen's duty to assist the police if reasonably possible, but if there is any offence of which I am suspected, I believe that I am entitled to know what that offence is, and to retain my own counsel until receiving specialist legal advice, which I fully intend to do, and must respectfully decline to comment on it until that time". There is no "Bill of Rights" in Australia, and no "Maranda" requirement, nor a right to a phone call, although the opportunity for one is usually provided, except in special circumstances (warning accomplice, terrorism, etc.). Google: "citizen's rights regarding police; (your state); AU" as they vary by state.

from: aussielegalhighs.com.au/showthread.php?3569-Interim-Ban-to-End-Soon Interim Ban to End Soon Commonwealth Interim Ban Finishes FROM EROS AUSTRALIAThe national interim ban period finishes on October 14 th 2013 . The ban comes from Australian Consumer Law and NOT drug or health law. Former Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs David Bradbury proposed a permanent ban before the federal election. Eros Association CEO Fiona Patten and Social Tonics Researcher Nick Wallis met with the ACCC for a conference regarding the proposed ban. Here are the ACCC's recommendations to Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson: It is the ACCC’s recommendation that the Commonwealth Minister does not impose a permanent ban on consumer goods containing synthetic drug substances for the following reasons: • All state and territory drug laws (NSW laws to commence post 7 October) have now been amended to capture substances set out in Schedule 9 of the Poisons Standard. A regulatory gap will therefore no longer exist in any state and territory for the consumer goods set out in the proposed ban notice. • While there is evidence that users of unauthorised synthetic drug substances may be at risk of injury to themselves or others, the issues of recreational drug abuse are complex and are being addressed nationally through the National Drug Strategy and by the Intergovernmental Committee on Drugs which has appropriate representation from all jurisdictions. • State and Territory Police have the skills, training and expertise to enforce state and territory drug laws, not Fair Trading agencies. • Introducing a permanent ban under the ACL on substances that are already prohibited is not consistent with principles of best practice regulation agreed by the Council of Australian Governments. • With the exception of NSW Fair Trading, all other Fair Trading agencies do not support the imposition of the permanent national ban under the ACL. It is highly unlikely that the new minister will support a permanent ban but the choice is solely his to make. The Eros Association will keep you informed of any changes. Drug control legislation has been updated in New South Wales and the Northern Territory, while South Australia has introduced a new Bill into parliament. Please contact the Eros Association if you are unsure of your jurisdiction's current drug control legislation.

Photo: Supplied A loophole will allow drugs sold as "food" to be exempted from laws pre-emptively banning all new synthetic drugs, the Greens say. Experts have argued the law cannot keep pace with new ''synthetic'' drugs, with one new drug emerging in Australia each week. Greens MP John Kaye said legislation introduced to Parliament on Wednesday failed in its mission to deal with this problem by banning anything that can affect a person's "motor function, thinking, behaviour, perception, awareness or mood", because it exempted foods. "This will just shift the drugs arms race and encourage people to move from making drugs you can smoke to drugs you can eat," he said. The law introduces fines of more than $2000, penalties of up to two years' jail and new powers to authorities to ban drugs once they are discovered. But it also exempts anything defined by the Food Act as a ''food'', that is, anything used for, or represented as being for, human consumption.

Or low fat, high fibre varieties, with dates, nuts, pepitas and raisins, etc. Bugger; now I'm hungry! Come to think of it, if such products were made overseas and infused with actives there, they'd be undectable in ordinary circumstances. It'll be interesting to see what the future has in store for us, especially in the near future, trendwise. I can't imagine importers wanting to draw attention to the nature of their product by calling them "Spaceman Bars" or such like; I s'pose their wrappings would be changed for final sale, and I only hope they're child resistant. Will this finally make the authorities throw up their hands in despair, and begin testing and regulating the sale of products proven to be of low risk, as in New Zealand?

I note that in the last week drug importers into this country have begun hiding ephedrine in rice from India, and recovering it by sieving. It's only one short step from hiding drugs in food, to hiding it as food.

Yet researchers have long wondered exactly where these mushrooms fit in the fungal family tree. Now, scientists have uncovered the evolutionary past of this fungi, revealing a bit more about them and their potential use in medicinal applications. Hallucinogenic mushrooms have been used for centuries in rituals, medicinally or just recreationally. In fact, ancient people in Central America used to actively ingest these mushrooms for the extrasensory perceptual effects it gave them in order to better assess the problems faced by their societies. That said, scientists officially discovered them in the 19th century. At that point, researchers delved into the mushrooms' taxonomy, biochemistry and historical usage. Now, scientists are learning a bit more about how they evolved. In order to examine the mushrooms a bit more closely, the researchers employed new molecular and computational techniques. They produced the first multi-gene evaluation of the evolutionary development of Psilocybe, the genus of small mushrooms known for their hallucinogenic properties. This work is a major step when it comes to classifying and naming "magic" mushrooms. So what did the scientists find? In the past, researchers found that the species of Psilocybe did not commonly descend from a single ancestor. Because of this, the hallucinogenic species were typically separated from their non-hallucinogenic relatives. This new study, though, places the two separate groups into different families: the Psilocybe (family Hymenogastraceae) and the Deconica (family Strophariaceae s.str). It's likely that the mushrooms evolved independently instead of possessing a common ancestor. Another option is that they underwent several evolutionary losses, probably for ecological reasons. That said, the species of Psilocybe are united to some degree due to the fact that they possess the psychedelic compound psilocybin and other secondary metabolites, or products of metabolism. The findings reveal a little bit more about how these mushrooms evolved and could tell scientists a little bit more about their properties. The work is important for understanding more about these mushrooms, which could aid current research concerning their medicinal uses. The findings are published in the journal Botany. 06 August 2013 Catherine Griffin Science World Direct Photo: Hallucinogenic "magic" mushrooms are well known for their ability to affect those who eat them.

Corresponding author: Laura Guzmán-Dávalos (e-mail: [email protected]). Published on the web 06 August 2013. Botany, 10.1139/cjb-2013-0070 Abstract The genus Psilocybe contains iconic species of fungi renowned for their hallucinogenic properties. Recently, Psilocybe also included non-hallucinogenic species that have since been shifted to the genus Deconica. Here, we reconstruct a multigene phylogeny for Psilocybe, Deconica, and other exemplars of the families Hymenogastraceae and Strophariaceae sensu stricto (s. str.), using three nuclear markers (nLSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, and rpb1). Our results confirm the monophyly of Deconica within Strophariaceae s. str., as well as numerous robust infrageneric relationships. Psilocybe is also recovered as a monophyletic group in the Hymenogastraceae, in which two principal lineages are recognized, including several nested subgroups. Most sections of Psilocybe following classifications based on morphological features are not supported in these analyses. Ancestral character state reconstruction analyses suggest that basidiospore shape in frontal view and spore wall thickness, commonly used to characterize sections in Deconica and Psilocybe, are homoplastic. Chrysocystidia, sterile cells located in the hymenium, evolved on at least two occasions in the Strophariaceae s. str., including in a novel lineage of Deconica.

So if the synthetic drug dealers overseas decide to begin importing foodstuffs, like chocolates, cookies, or "health bars", laced with product, to avoid detection, what response(s) would the feds be likely to make, as they would be undetectable by dogs, and they'd only be tested if there was definite intelligence on it?

This is purely self interest in the guise of public interest; considerably lower shares of "proceeds of crime" funds are on the horizon for US law enforcement, so they are squealing like, what's the expression?

Dogs have their scent detector (nose) at a low height. If you consistently carry MJ higher on your body, they are considerably less likely to detect the trail of molecules emanating from it.

This thread is to address the misconceptions that float around the Kratom forum and with general users who do not fully understand the plant in its contents and nature. Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) contains many alkaloids including mitragynine, mitraphylline, and 7-Hydroxymitragynine. There are also many other alkaloids that give it stimulant, appetite suppressant, and other effects, but we will stick with the ones that show the nature of kratom and how it interacts with the body to become an analgesic. Mitragynine, mitraphylline, and 7-Hydroxymitragynine are all indole alkaloids of various sorts: Mitagynine: indole Mitraphylline: oxyindole 7-Hydroxymitragynine: a terpenoid indole None of these are opiate alkaloids, which makes it structurally a different thing all together. Poppy plants contain your known principal sources of opiate alkaloids such as: morphine, thebaine, codeine and oripavine. None of these types of materials are contained in the Mitragyna speciosa plant as a matter of fact. So it is, in that sense, opiate-free with the idea that it contains no structure that is opiate-like. However, the indole alkaloids contained in this plant does have opioid agonistic activity, which leaves you thinking it has the same effects overall. This is what makes it so confusing. It is not an opiate, but the organic chemical compound has an affinity for those receptors. The effects are primarily based on the 7-Hydroxymitragynine indole alkaloid, which has been shown in the paper "Studies on the synthesis and opioid agonistic activities of mitragynine-related indole alkaloids: discovery of opioid agonists structurally different from other opioid ligands" to actually be an an active μ-opioid agonist for certain. The antagonism of naloxone (an inverse agonist) on concentration-response curves confirms its opioid effect. This in fact makes it an opioid instead of an opiate. So it is an indole-containing plant; this hopefully dispels those that will call it an "opiate-like," but instead define it as an opioid. This also dispels any belief or confusion of it failing a drug test. It cannot simply do that being as the chemical metabolites created would not be confirmed on the GC/MS test as it would be a different NMR pattern. Of course, this can change as drugs become public and more known, but at this time, Kratom is virtually unknown in the testing community. I hope this helps the people in this forum better understand this plant. Some drugs simply have different functioning structures with the same receptor effects, which makes it an opioid pharmacologically. Here is the paper's abstract if you all are interested. It is rather cool to read the abstract actually, so I recommend taking a gander: Quote: Mitragynine (1) is a major alkaloidal component in the Thai traditional medicinal herb, Mitragyna speciosa, and has been proven to exhibit analgesic activity mediated by opioid receptors. By utilizing this natural product as a lead compound, synthesis of some derivatives, evaluations of the structure−activity relationship, and surveys of the intrinsic activities and potencies on opioid receptors were performed with guinea pig ileum. The affinities of some compounds for μ-, δ-, and κ-receptors were determined in a receptor binding assay. The essential structural moieties in the Corynanthe type indole alkaloids for inducing the opioid agonistic activity were also clarified. The oxidative derivatives of mitragynine, i.e., mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (2) and 7-hydroxymitragynine (12), were found as opioid agonists with higher potency than morphine in the experiment with guinea pig ileum. In addition, 2 induced an analgesic activity in the tail flick test in mice. A nice fact to know: "The oxidative derivatives of mitragynine, i.e., mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (2) and 7-hydroxymitragynine (12), were found as opioid agonists with higher potency than morphine in the experiment with guinea pig ileum. In addition, 2 induced an analgesic activity in the tail flick test in mice." With this being said, it has been found to have a higher potency than that of morphine in its compound form alone. Now there's some news you can use when debating the strength of Kratom. It is just the contents of the plant you buy, the extract levels, or "how much you are getting" that makes it strong or weak. Yet in just the chemical sense, it can actually be a very potent little plant. I wish I had access to the full paper, but it costs money to receive. If anyone finds it, we need to upload this. It has valuable member information to dispel this belief of kratom being an "opiate" as some may think of it as.

THOUSANDS of partygoers with tickets to the Rainbow Serpent Festival are crushed as a permit bungle threatens to cancel the event just eight days before it is start. Fire and ambulance agencies in the Pyrenees Shire refused to support the event after finding the festival lacked an emergency plan in the case of a disaster such as a bushfire. Up to 15,000 people are expected to attend the event, to be held on January 25-28, which has been running for 15 years. Devastated festival organisers have called on everyone to sign the 'Save the Rainbow Serpent Festival' online petition in an attempt to sway authorities to allow the festival to go ahead. "We understand the decision of not granting the POPE permit was due solely for the safety of all who gather for the festival,'' the petition said. "It will be a complete travesty that an amicable resolution could not be reached. Most likely signifying the end of an important economic and cultural event." Organisers met the local council at 4.30pm to appeal against the decision. Fans waited in anticipation for news on the Rainbow Serpent Festival Facebook page, with good news coming just before 7pm: "The meeting went very well." "We are submitting a new application tomorrow which council have told us will be fast-tracked. We still need the support of CFA, Police and Ambulance Victoria but we are working furiously on that as we speak and we are hopeful," the post said. "We definitely want to take this opportunity to thank Pyrenees Council for meeting with us today and Cr (Michael) O'Connor for his support." Pyrenees Shire Council Mayor Michael O'Connor earlier denied the death of 34-year-old Epping man Daniel Buccianti, who died of drug-related causes at last year's event, was an issue in the councils decision. Instead he pointed to last week's Chepstowe fire which burned eight houses to the ground and said organisers were not prepared for a similar emergency. "It is extremely sad, this festival has grown from 3000 visitors 10 years ago to what it is today,'' Mr O'Connor said. "It is a popular gathering and unfortunately the organisers put on a fantastic production but their administration is hopeless." http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vic...-1226556096051 (with pic) Read more: http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=204294#ixzz2IIVVDdQl

Supreme Court Rules that Religious Group Can Use Illegal Drug in their Worship Services February 21, 2006 Print Email Share AAAText Size Court says practice is protected by the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act "A unanimous Supreme Court ruled today that the adherents of a small religious group can continue, for now at least, to import and use an illegal drug in their worship services. The court, in a decision written by new Chief Justice John Roberts, held that the federal government had not adequately demonstrated that it had a compelling interest in banning what even federal prosecutors admit is a "sincere religious practice." CONTACT Mary Schultz Communications Manager 202.419.4556 [email protected] "This decision essentially clarifies that the federal government must clear a high hurdle before it can ban or curtail religious practice that is in conflict with other laws," says David Masci, a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. In October 2005, the Forum published an in-depth backgrounder on the case, Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao Do Vegetal, which provides legal and historical analysis of the issues at hand. It can be found at pewforum.org/docs/?DocID=124. An addendum to the backgrounder analyzing the court's decision and its possible impact on future cases will soon be available on the Forum's Web site, pewforum.org. The case involves a church, known as Uniao Do Vegetal or the Union of the Plants, that preaches a brand of "Christian spiritualism" that combines indigenous Brazilian beliefs with contemporary Christian teachings. A central tenet of the UDV faith is a belief that hoasca, a tea containing the illegal hallucinogenic drug diemethyltryptamine (DMT), is sacred and that its use connects members to God. In 1999, federal agents in Santa Fe, N.M., seized a shipment of hoasca imported from Brazil for use in UDV religious ceremonies. An additional 30 gallons were confiscated when agents searched the house of U.S. church leader Jeffrey Bronfman. No criminal charges were brought against Bronfman, the UDV or individual church members. But 18 months later, the church sued the federal government in a U.S. district court and received a preliminary injunction preventing the confiscation of imported hoasca or the arrest of any UDV members using the drug while the court trial was pending. UDV claimed that the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) exempts them from any laws prohibiting the importation and use of hoasca. RFRA states that no federal law shall "substantially burden a person's exercise of religion" unless the government proves the law furthers a "compelling governmental interest" and that it has been implemented in a way that is "least restrictive" to religious practices. The federal government countered that the courts cannot grant the church an exception to the nation's drug laws - in this case the 1970 Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which prohibits the use of DMT for any purpose. At a preliminary hearing to consider the UDV's request for a preliminary injunction, the government conceded that the criminalization of hoasca "substantially burdened" the church's religious practice. However, the government argued that it had a compelling interest in protecting the health of UDV members and in preventing the recreational, non-religious or improper use and distribution of DMT. But the district court found that the government's interests in protecting health and preventing drug abuse did not trump the UDV's religious freedom to use hoasca. The court therefore granted the preliminary injunction to protect UDV members and leaders from prosecution, a ruling later upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. The Supreme Court decision is in line with these earlier rulings. "We conclude that the government has not carried the burden expressly placed on it by Congress in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act," wrote Roberts. The injunction stands. The chief justice also compared the use of hoasca to Peyote, which also contains a banned substance, mescaline, but which has been legally used for decades by Native American tribes as part of their religious rituals. If hundreds of thousands of Native Americans are allowed to use Peyote for their religious ceremonies, Roberts wrote, "it is difficult to see how those same findings alone can preclude any consideration of a similar exception for the 130 or so American members of the UDV who want to practice theirs." Roberts was joined by seven other members of the court. The newest member of the court, Samuel Alito, did not participate in the case because he was not yet on the court when O Centro Espirita was argued in November 2005. It is important to note that the decision only concerns the preliminary injunction issued by the district court. The federal government still has the option to pursue the case by returning to a lower court and attempting to demonstrate that it has a compelling interest in banning hoasca". http://www.pewforum.org/Press-Room/Press-Releases/Supreme-Court-Rules-that-Religious-Group-Can-Use-Illegal-Drug-in-their-Worship-Services.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm assuming they're referring to ayahuasca ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=ayahuasca&gbv=2&oq=ayahuasca&gs_l=heirloom-hp.1.0.0l10.1446.5458.0.7536.9.9.0.0.0.0.1425.1425.7-1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.9WKRIr-TKxI ).

You would really only be stating that you took what you believed to be, (that drug) but there would be no evidence that it was, in fact, the drug you believed it to be. Without solid evidence, they wouldn't bother to prosecute.

Swim had a friend in Darwin in the 80s, who the DS knew was dealing, but they could never catch him with anything, so, during a raid with a search warrant, on of them "found" a small amount of drugs in another room, out of his eyesight. He swears he knew nothing about it, and that they must have planted it. He was convicted and served a short term in prison. Some time later, one of the 2 DS was beaten up. I smiled. Wrong of me, I know.
