    Refusing to answer police questioning

    Without just cause, consent of search and/or admission of guilt, the police don't really have a case. Distracted - Did you ask them why they wanted your details? Did you give them consent for the searches? Did you ask them if you were being charged with anything? Many cops love to intimidate. Unless you show a cop that you know your rights, he'll more than likely try and take advantage of you. You live and learn though. And when you do finally get to beat a cop at his own game, it's one of the best feelings in the world.

    Mum charged after...

    Well, like a few of us have already said, we don't have the full story. And besides that, my point was never about laying the blame on a single person. My point was simply that if a relationship is broken, then both parties are affected. My impression is that the remainder of the brownie was pulled out of the kid's mouth. What gives you the impression that it wasn't? No problem. I've done the same thing before as well. It's actually not that hard to do with the way a lot of news articles are written. Fair enough, but who's to say that the journalist has kept things in context? Maybe the woman only said what she did because a cop was giving her an anti-drug lecture... I never said that it was cool! And I defy anybody to prove that kids aren't quick! Or curious... Or cunning either!

    Can't really help you dude. You've had 9 years to do the smallest amount of research, and you haven't. What else can I say?

    Cannabis To Be Trialed in the Nimbin Valley

    In other words, weed should be the next currency?

    I dunno, how would you feel if your country had been getting carpet bombed for the last 20 years?

    Granted that what you're talking about is more important, losing the trust of a sister is a big deal. It could mean the end of a very important relationship. It wasn't any sort of drug though, it was a weed brownie. And to the eyes of children, a weed brownie is a regular brownie. A complete and unbiased story from the Media on Cannabis use? What? Where? When? Why? Who? How? Edit: As far as I know, she hasn't. The article only states that she told police officers that cannabis should be legal.

    Quite the anti-pot person today, aren't we? Whatever happens, I doubt she'll ever trust her sister again.

    I have to admit that the story reminds me of a Trailer Park Boys episode.

    You know, it's possible that the girl snatched the brownie soon after it came out the oven. Because kids are just like that. My younger brother once stole a sip of white wine (thinking it was his lemonade), and before I could say anything, he was already back to going crazy on an inflatable castle. Sorry to burst your wit bubble, but brownies are not a form of dessert.

    must-see documentaries

    http://www.ourgeneration.org.au/ Cannot think of a better time for this documentary to be released. I haven't seen it yet, but it definitely looks like it deserves to be listed here.

    Quotes of the day.

    "Now what we have to understand is that this comes from an extremely clever and skillful program, that has manipulated us into ways of thinking that may be contrary to our own interests, but beneficial to the interests of the powers that be. Beneficial to the interests of those who control our lives, and tax us until we have hardly a penny left to spend. And who take our money and plough it into the creation of huge, armed bureaucracies, which exist to oppress us. We live in a society today where we may not make the decision; we are not allowed to make the decision to explore our own consciousness. If I am not sovereign over my own consciousness, then I am sovereign over nothing."

    Congratulations. Being that I've never tried Morels before, I'd probably just cook up the healthiest looking one, and go from there.

    Good Shroom Book

    Why's that? Bigger photographs? I only ask as I was really impressed with the photography in Fungi Down Under. Descriptions are just as valuable as photographs in my opinion. Being that different species of mushrooms can look very similar to one another, photos alone can't always be relied upon. All of the books I listed can be bought in Australian shops. If anybody wants to know which ones, please feel free to send me a PM.
