Northerner Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Well, really quiet from the pollies on the ACT laws. They've either got bigger fish to fry and are gonna let this one go, or they're busy applying pressure and bribes to quietly try and kill it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-RC- Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 @Northerner, here's your answer bro: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/spotlight-to-be-placed-on-barriers-to-medicinal-cannabis-in-australia Barriers confronting patients trying to access medicinal cannabis in Australia will be scrutinised in a Parliamentary inquiry into how the drug is regulated. The Greens said the medicinal cannabis system is “broken” and in urgent need of reform as their push for an inquiry into access to the drug won support in the Senate on Thursday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-RC- Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Historic reform on the horizon for the U.S. It's going to need an experienced prostitician to pull the old "We need more research/There's no real world example of this type of thing working/We are behoven to the U.N. (read U.S) and their conventions..." bullshit of the last couple of years, but I'm sure we've got more than enough fuckwits in government here in Oz that'll all give it a solid nudge anyway https://hightimes.com/news/house-judiciary-committee-approves-historic-more-act/ “Now that Chairman Nadler has moved the MORE Act through committee, it is time for the full House to vote and have every member of Congress show their constituents which side of history they stand on,” said NORML political director Justin Strekal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll most likely be the financial sector which pushes this over the line here as well though. Money is their god and Cannabis means money.

And a little more news of... well, nothing really. Except it's all still unclear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dawg Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well, a bill like this has zero chance of being passed by Mitch McConnell's Republican controlled Senate, in fact, probably won't even be looked at before an election, especially given the current circus. They haven't even passed the banking changes that will allow their bank mates to accept green money, and that bill was passed in Congress like 6 months ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insequent Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50494610 Oh my fucking god; I can't believe they're still dredging this bullshit up. They've had 2 presidents who admitted to smoking hooch in their younger days (and one to taking cocaine). You could use that to put forward the notion cannabis is a gateway drug to the Whitehouse (quote Prof. Carl Hart). "Before I legalise it nationally," said Biden, "I want to make sure we know a lot more about the science behind it." My advice to Mr. Biden is to read the science. There's more than 30 years of it. And if he has any trouble understanding the big words, I'm sure there is a high school science student somewhere who could explain them to him.

Insequent Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 https://www.healtheuropa.eu/new-zealand-cannabis-legalisation-bill-to-be-launched/95443/ Little added: “The primary objective of the legislation is to reduce overall cannabis use and limit the ability of young people to access cannabis.” Key points in the bill Key restrictions on cannabis in the draft Bill include: A minimum purchase and used age of 20; Ban on all marketing and advertising of cannabis products; Requires harm minimisation messaging in the retailing of cannabis; Prohibits consumption in public places and limits use to private homes and specifically license premises; Limits sale of cannabis to specifically licensed physical stores (not online or remote sales); Strict controls and regulations on the potency of cannabis; and Establishes a state licencing regime that all stages of the growing and supply chain are licensed and controlled by the Government, and will limit the amount of cannabis that is allowed to be grown. …. Sounding like a regulators dream. I'm reasonably sure the black marketeers will be happy with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
