Cannabis: Whats the Harm? episode 2 NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-02-04 | In the second episode, James explores the hidden world of organised crime linked to the supply of cannabis in the UK, following a police drug squad and the UK Border Agency as they target gangs and smugglers. He meets the casualties of the drugs trade, including a 14-year-old addict who has convictions for burglary to fund his habit and a Vietnamese teenager smuggled into Britain by lorry to work in British cannabis farms to supply the huge demand. Ex-EastEnders star James Alexandrou was caught smoking cannabis by the tabloids when he left the soap. Now he wants to find out the truth about the most popular illegal drug in Britain, see the lengths people will go to get it and discover exactly where it comes from.
Clearing the Smoke: The Science of Cannabis NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-08-12 | Clearing the Smoke, reveals how cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer.Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis. Even though the video has an American perspective, marijuana use is illegal throughout many countries of the world for reasons that are not clear.This video is important because it mainly investigates the scientific basis underlying the medical benefits of marijuana use instead of focusing on the social, political and legal hysteria that have been attached to it.The paper mentioned in this video, Marihuana Reconsidered, was published in book form. The author, Dr Lester Grinspoon, is the world's leading authority on marijuana. In this book, Dr Grinspoon examines — and debunks — many of the common misconceptions about marijuana.MontanaPBS Presents: Clearing the Smoke: The Science of Cannabis. www.watch.montanapbs.org/video/1825223761-------------------------Copyright Disclaimer, Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for 'fair use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Endocannabinoid System: an overview NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-08-11 | Obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, and the associated cardiometabolic complications, are critical areas of investigation. The endocannabinoid system helps to regulate the central control of energy balance and peripheral metabolic processes, both of which may contribute to cardiometabolic risk factors. http://www.endocannabinoid.net
Marijuana: A Chronic History NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-06-17 | The fight against drug use in America has been going on since the turn of the last century but the term "War on Drugs" only became part of our national dialogue in 1970 when it was first used by President Richard Nixon.The President later formed the DEA and started a push to outlaw drugs of all kinds. Among the most discussed drugs in this war is Marijuana. This special will look at the storied and strange history of Marijuana in America.Comment: I used to be strictly conservative on pot laws. However, I recently discovered the actual history behind prohibition laws, and it opened my eyes. I was shocked when I realized that I had been deceived.It's one of the oldest known medicines. The first colonists were required to grow it, and you could pay taxes with it. It's safer than alcohol and cigarettes though it's a Schedule 1 Narcotic, which says it's supposedly more dangerous than coke, morphine and amphetamines!I have not found a single valid argument to continue prohibition and many good arguments to end it. Save tens of billions each year, add tens of billions in new taxes, starve gangs of revenue, provide an alternative to alcohol that's safer and cheaper, reduce prison populations and drug-related violence, provide a cheaper and cleaner alternative for paper pulp and bio-fuels...I could go on, but you should get the point.And if you say "Think about the kids!" I have. Currently, they have easier access to pot than alcohol BECAUSE it's unregulated. In countries where it's regulated, there is a much lower rate of juvenile use.This program does an excellent job of explaining the truth.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. -------------------------Copyright Disclaimer, Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for 'fair use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Run From The Cure - The Rick Simpson Story NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-06-10 | http://phoenixtears.ca -- Don't expect a doctor working inside the system to buck the system. The risks are still too great! The advice she or he offers you is controlled by the large medical industry that makes its money from expensive cancer fighting drugs and treatments. It is an industry that doesn't look favorably on natural supplements or other cancer treatments that they cannot patent or make a large profit from. Years from now the current conventional cancer treatments used by doctors will on the whole be viewed in the same light that we view the old medical practice of blood letting to cure illnesses.

Ecstasy, LSD & the Raves, HOOKED: ILLEGAL DRUGS ep.4 NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-05-02 | History Channel, HOOKED: ILLEGAL DRUGS AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY HOOKED explores the world of illegal drugs, meeting with pharmacologists and scientists to learn exactly what effect they have on us and exploring the social and legislative changes that have transformed (and, some would argue, created) the drug culture of the 20th century. Outspoken advocates on both sides of the "war on drugs" illuminate this polarizing issue, and fascinating accounts and artifacts illustrate the role of drugs throughout history. Ecstasy, LSD & the Raves, HOOKED: ILLEGAL DRUGS ep.4How did the psychedelic drugs LSD and Ecstasy journey from a scientific discovery to a popular recreation to banned drugs? Mental health professionals once believed that LSD could treat schizophrenia or alcoholism. Meanwhile, Ecstasy, the "penicillin for the soul", was used in marriage counseling. Now, continuing the cycle of the hallucinogen, some of the latest derivatives in this category of drugs, the "rave" drugs such as GHB and Ketamine, are about to be banned.

Marijuana and Methamphetamine, HOOKED: ILLEGAL DRUGS ep.1In a 4 part series investigating the history of drug use, we begin our trip tracing the rise of marijuana and synthetic amphetamines. Marijuana, from the Indian hemp plant, has been used worldwide as a source of rope, cloth, and paper; its medicinal qualities were first documented 4,000 years ago in China. But it's best known as the drug of choice of the 1960s. During WWII, US troops were given an estimated 200 million amphetamines to fight drowsiness and battle fatigue, and they're still used to fight depression.

Our Drugs War: Episode 3 - Birth of a Narco-State NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-03-08 | The third and final part of Angus Macqueen's exploration of the failure of present drugs polices takes the viewer to the frontline. Birth of a Narco-State shows how the war on drugs is actually fuelling the long-term civil war in Afghanistan, possibly creating what he calls a 'Narco-Theocracy': a toxic mixture of drugs money and religious extremism.Meanwhile, western demand for heroin generates huge profits that finances both sides in the civil war, corrupting the very government that British soldiers are fighting to protect.This film gets under the skin of the drug trade in Afghanistan, from the deserts of the Afghanistan-Iran border to the smuggling centre of Herat and the courts in Kabul, engaging with those working to establish some sort of order in the face of overwhelming odds; all the time questioning whether it is our drug laws or our drug demand that is causing the problems in the first place.Macqueen meets General Aminullah - former head of security at Kabul International Airport - who was sacked after exposing widespread corruption and then placed under investigation himself. We see shocking footage he took of a young, female Afghan burqa-clad drug smuggler demonstrating brazen disregard for the law, who then got off scot-free. Rarely has such an open example of what 'corruption' means been caught on camera.Filming in the newly-opened - US and UK-financed - drugs courts, it becomes clear that many of the traffickers who are arrested are still 'small fish'. The big players always seem to get off; even the judges admit that they are too well-connected, often high up in the government, to the very people the British troops are fighting for and dying to protect. Afghanistan's president himself, Hamid Karzai, pardoned five convicted drug traffickers connected to his election campaign.Allied policy to the drugs issue has been in confusion since the invasion of 2001: our troops have been told in some years to eradicate all poppies, and in others to leave them so as to win hearts and minds of the peasants. Sometimes different policies are carried out in different areas.And all the time around 60 to 70% of the Taliban's funding comes from the heroin trade. The profits are staggering, with 10 kilos of opium - valued at around £400 in Afghanistan - making one kilo of heroin worth £40,000 by the time it reaches Europe.
Our Drugs War: Episode 2 - The Life and Death of a Dealer NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-03-08 | The Queensbridge Estate in New York lies within sight of the Manhattan skyscrapers, but is seemingly a world away. The largest housing complex in Queens, it is regularly raided by police to break up massive drug operations.Here, award-winning filmmaker Angus Macqueen looks at the social cost of America's war on drugs through the life of 28-year-old Thomas Winston: a small-time drug dealer struggling to stay out of prison and away from the lure of easy money that illegal drugs offer. As his probation officer says, here is a man who can earn $15,000 a week in the drugs world or $200 before taxes working in McDonald's.Thomas is first seen campaigning against the 'Rockefeller' drugs laws in New York State, where sale or possession of small amounts of drugs are given a mandatory sentence equivalent to second degree murder, and have long been seen to be both discriminatory and draconian.Human Rights Watch have published a series of reports making clear that Whites, Black and Hispanics sell and consume narcotics in equal numbers, yet over 80% of the prisoners in New York State are Black or Latino. Inside a prison, barely a white face can be seen.The film tracks Thomas's moving story over a number of months, as he interacts with the legal system and as his probation officer and lawyer attempt to help him; but gradually he is drawn back to his old life. By the end of the film, Thomas has been stabbed to death.Thomas's story illustrates the failure of America's zero tolerance drug laws, which don't stop supply or address addiction, but rather consign whole groups of society to a tragic cycle, undermining the very fabric of whole communities: be it here in Britain or in the US.
Our Drugs War: Episode 1 - Everyones at It NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-03-07 | One in six British citizens have used class-A drugs. Focusing on Scotland - named by the UN as Europe's drug capital - the first episode shows the stark contrast between Edinburgh's rich city centre and its underprivileged estates, where up to 60-70% of the residents can be drug users.Film-maker Angus Macqueen visits one such estate with two volunteers for drugs charity Crew. They show him how the drug trade operates on a day-to-day basis in front of - and often with the participation of - children, some as young as eight. While all social classes use drugs equally, 70% of addicts have left school by the age of 16 and 85% are unemployed.The police fail to control supply - in Scotland seizing just one per cent of the heroin consumed - criminals make money, and demand only increases. With the advent of synthetic drugs like GBL, which itself was until recently quite legal and easily available online, banning and policing are becoming ever more random and ineffectual.Angus meets parents whose children have died as a result of drug abuse. Suzanne Dyer's son Chris died from an addiction to GBL, a compound found in some industrial cleaners and widely used by clubbers. GBL became a popular 'dance' drug when GHB, another similar, and less potent, substance was banned.John Arthur from Crew, which supported Suzanne Dyer and her son, sees the obsession with the banning and classification of drugs as increasingly irrelevant to what is happening on the streets. John's not alone. Angus speaks to former government drugs advisor Professor David Nutt, who was famously sacked when he began to say in public that present policy is not based on scientific evidence.
Reefer Madness Coming NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-02-10 | The film was then reissued under several titles in addition to Reefer Madness, including Dope Addict, Doped Youth, Love Madness, and The Burning Question. The film did not gain an audience until it was rediscovered in the 1970s and gained new life as a piece of unintentional comedy among advocates of cannabis policy reform.

The American Dream Film NIMBIN TELEVISION 2011-01-20 | The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track. The video creators understand that how the monetary system works can be very confusing to some and have done a brilliant job in explaining how the whole system is set up to keep you forever in debt. This is not what the original founding fathers of America had in mind. Also, this is not just an American problem. It's the same scam in nearly all countries around the world.

Nimbin nine eleven NIMBIN TELEVISION 2010-09-14 | Saturday September 11, 2010 Nimbin, Australia. A midday 'Nimbin is a not in Afghanistan' protest attracted a good crowd into the middle of Nimbin's main street. The protest, where many local business owners spoke, in response to a recent increase in police activity in Nimbin with sniffer dogs. "Why have we got hordes of cops wearing bullet proof vests and taser guns patrolling a small country town in rural NSW? It's ludicrous! This is NSW not Afghanistan," said Jim Moylan from JAG, the Nimbin Justice Action Group. "We all know the absolute popularity of pot will make sure the cannabis trade continues." Some business owners, whose shops cater to the tourist trade, talked about very unfriendly police interactions and indicated that they believed their current financial difficulties were largely attributable to the overbearing police tactics currently being employed in the village. Following the rally in the main street of town the brightly dressed protestors walked, danced, and sang their way to the local Police Station in a procession led by a Ganja Faerie and the Big Joint, where they assembled and held what was described as a 'Community Protest Theatre'. Many lit up joints and publicly traded them for $10 and $5 dollar notes -- a demonstration to show that the free exchange of cannabis in Nimbin is no big deal. While the joints were filled with legal herbs like damiana and mugwort, the distinct sweet smell, of what Timothy Leary called 'the hippies favourite vegetable,' was strong in the air. The Polite Brigade from The H*E*M*P* Bar kept the roadway clear while a deputation of local villagers presented a letter of protest to Sergeant Peter Bryant for delivery to his superiors. "The Local Area Commander has been following your protest carefully," he said. "I am happy to pass the petition on, and I'm sure he would like to sit down and discuss the issue further with you." http://hempembassy.net

Michael Balderstone at SCU NIMBIN TELEVISION 2010-04-18 | Australian Drug Law and a civil society A symposium held at Southern Cross University in February 2010. Michael Balderstone of the Nimbin HEMP Embassy speaks about his experiences in Nimbin from his view on the street. The war on drugs is a big blunder. Pain management is big money and the pharmacuetical companies have it all tied up. Opium, Coca and Cannabis have been removed from the list of available medication. Social disrespect for the unjust drug laws is a significant problem. More jails are built each year to incarcerate victims of prohibition. The story Michael tells is brilliantly supported with relevant images edited skillfully.http://hempembassy.net
The Law is the Crime NIMBIN TELEVISION 2010-04-16 | Teenagers today face many pressures and run the risk of having little or no faith in democracy. If President Obama was caught smoking Cannabis then he would have a different job now, or be in prison. Obama smoked Cannabis and did not get caught, as he confessed. Racial prejudice still exists in America and is evident in the ratio of non-whites in prisons. Cannabis laws are designed to maintain corporate greed and protect religious morals. The money aspect of Medical Marijuana is in focus for a new frontier of exploitation. Displacement of these ideals will take more time yet. And the chemical drug companies can't afford to miss out on their profit margins. We must release all those imprisoned for Cannabis alone and remove all records of previous criminal Cannabis convictions. Before any more lives are spoilt by a law that is an injustice. The law is the crime.

Prohibition Sucks NIMBIN TELEVISION 2010-04-04 | Prohibition is a sickening horror and the ocean of incompetence, corruption and human wreckage it has left in its wake is almost endless. Prohibition has decimated generations and criminalized millions for a behavior which is entwined in human existence, and for what other purpose than to uphold the defunct and corrupt thinking of a minority of misguided, self-righteous Neo-Puritans and degenerate demagogues who wish nothing but unadulterated destruction on the rest of us. Based on the unalterable proviso that drug use is essentially an unstoppable and ongoing human behavior which has been with us since the dawn of time, any serious reading on the subject of past attempts at any form of drug prohibition would point most normal thinking people in the direction of sensible regulation. By its very nature prohibition cannot fail but create a vast increase in criminal activity, and rather than preventing society from descending into anarchy, it actually fosters an anarchic business model - the international Drug Trade. Any decisions concerning quality, quantity, distribution and availability are then left in the hands of unregulated, anonymous, ruthless drug dealers, who are interested only in the huge profits involved. Many of us have now finally wised up to the fact that the best avenue towards realistically dealing with drug use and addiction is through proper regulation, which is what we already do with alcohol & tobacco --two of our most dangerous mood altering substances. But for those of you whose ignorant and irrational minds traverse a fantasy plane of existence, you will no doubt remain sorely upset with any type of solution that does not seem to lead to the absurd and unattainable utopia of a drug free society. There is an irrefutable connection between drug prohibition and the crime, corruption, disease and death it causes. If you are not capable of understanding this connection, then maybe you're using something far stronger than the rest of us. Anybody 'halfway bright' and who's not psychologically challenged, should be capable of understanding, that it is not simply the demand for drugs that creates the mayhem; it is our refusal to allow legal businesses to meet that demand. No amount of money, police powers, weaponry, diminution of rights and liberties, wishful thinking or pseudo-science will make our streets safer; only an end to prohibition can do that. How much longer are you willing to foolishly risk your own survival by continuing to ignore the obvious, historically confirmed solution? If you still support the kool aid mass suicide cult of prohibition, and erroneously believe that you can win a war without logic and practical solutions, then prepare yourself for even more death, corruption, terrorism, sickness, imprisonment, unemployment, foreclosed homes, and the complete loss of the rule of law and the Bill of Rights. "A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." Abraham Lincoln The only thing prohibition successfully does is prohibit regulation & taxation while turning even our schools and prisons into black markets for drugs. Regulation would mean the opposite!
Nimbin Justice Action Group: Larrikin NIMBIN TELEVISION 2010-01-17 | Dr Buzzkill visits the BBQ: Why consider legal crap on a lovely summers day? The larrikin soul of an Aussie loves a BBQ. Its our democratic forum. Its our everyday backyard parliament. With a slightly charred snag in hand - every Aussie feels equal. But how equal are we really? The Nimbin Justice Action BBQs are all about exotic sausages and chicken kebabs sizzling alongside onion rings and chops. But with added bite-sized chunks of legal information with one simple down-to-earth message for each Saturday morning BBQ. Answering questions like: How do you act when police are questioning you? What do you say? What do you do when you are arrested? Do you sign a statement of interview? Do you have to? Can the police order you to move on? For how long? What is hindering or resisting police? What is offensive conduct? Can they really strip search me? For Most Aussies these seem a bit like faraway questions. But in Mingle Park, Nimbin, they are everyday concerns. The main street of Nimbin is more densely studded with CCTV cameras than is Kings Cross. The frequency of police patrols is about the same. All in a spectacular rural location! Right now there is no more important forum for distributing civil rights information, in Australia, than Mingle Park, Nimbin. Mingle Park is where the policing rubber hits the public road: cannabis and mushroom distribution collides with tourists intent on transcendental experience. All inside long hot steamy afternoons and alongside zealous police officers, loony tunes, activists, pirates, and priests of every persuasion. Mingle park is where the shit happens. But you can only do a little at a time. The simple idea of the JAG BBQs is to keep it all short and sweet and then hand you a snag sandwich. Yes Dr Buzzkill does have to visit the BBQ but not for long. And the chicken sausages are really quite nice. http://www.nimbinwave.com/wordpress/?p=1669 =================
Obama and Rudd on Cannabis NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-11-05 | DISPENSE with the Law. Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd, MAY 2010. Rally for Cannabis law reform, http://www.NimbinMardiGrass.com/ - - - - - - On a mission to learn about dispensing hemp products, Mr Rudd finds Mini me Obama an easy person to speak with.
Dispense with the law NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-10-28 | While California and other States are experiencing a surge in Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, the rest of us have to take our chances. With regulation and re-scheduling of the medicinal plant, there will be a lot less money received by the illegal trade.
H.R.1866 - Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009 NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-10-25 | H.R.1866 - Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009 Congress Trackers http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1866 -------- We need to garner support for this bill. The economy can't wait any longer. The people can't wait any longer. Presented by President Mini me Obama in Hemp Definition for NIMBIN TELEVISION.
Are you important? NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-10-24 | In my home town as a child of the fifties, I remember my mother, a pillar of the community without a conviction to her name, telling me that Police were a "necessary evil" because the alternative was so much worse. "Mind you," she said,"you can't trust them to look after your interests unless you're important." She left it at that. Half a century later, this year's MardiGrass reminded me of those words. http://www.nimbinmardigrass.com
For those who have come in late; Part 2. NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-10-22 | http://www.BIGJOINT.org/ ------- For those who have come in late; Part 2. The plan is point out the POTential revenue that would be raised by the HEMP revolution, please keep uppermost in mind we are not talking about a government tax on home grown cannabis for personal use, we are talking about the revenue that will be generated by the hemp Agri business - Fibre, Fuel and Food. Hemp is stronger and requires far less fertilizer than, soy and cotton; being naturally insect repellent, and having few insect predators capable of effectively attacking it, it needs little to no pe$ticide$. As food, hemp seed is right up there with the Soya bean for nutrition and a lot more versatile. Since Hemp seed is the only food source that has the vital Omega Acids 3,6 and 9 it can help reduce humanities reliance on fish, currently the main source of omega acid. I should also add that cannabis has a growing reputation amongst cancer patients as a wonder drug and it's 'miracle cure' reputation for breast and prostate cancer has been scientifically verified since the last time we took the BigJoint to Canberra. Another example? How about old growth Tasmanian forest being sold as wood chips for a couple of dollars a tonne. Irreplaceable forest for a measly $2 per tonne. If the government were to legislate a redeployment of the 'woodchip' industry into the 'hemp industry, within a few years the HEMPchip industry will be churning out high quality pulp and what's left of the old growth could stay alive until someone wants to pay its real value; $200,000,000 a tonne. Since a hemp seed is 35% oil, containing the highest oil percentage of all seeds, hempseed is ideal for bio diesel and when the sustainability of a bio diesel industry is compared to the unstable future of the oil business, case closed, I mean the price of oil has never come down in my lifetime, hemp based fuel could save Australia billions and billions of dollars. Still yet another example? Hemp is being used in the Ukraine around Chernobyl to absorb radioactive isotopes from the soil. That's just some of the reasons. Stimulate the Economy, cure cancer, save the trees and fish, reduce our dependency on oil and clean up nuclear waste........... I am not making this up, cross check all this info on Google. Bottom Line? We do not want cannabis legalized just so we can sit around and smoke pot all day long, we have common sense reasons why 'out door' cannabis should be relegalized so that all Australians can benefit from this wonderful plant, indeed, from a global perspective, no other country on earth stands to gain as much as Australia does by relegalizing the hemp plant in this time of Global Economic Turmoil. We have the acreage, the sunlight and the willing workers required to become the earths leading supplier of hemp for Fibre, Fuel, Food and Medicine. till next update.... peace. Max Stone.
SAFER CANNABIS USE GUIDELINES NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-10-20 | NIMBIN HEALTH and MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL NHMRC: SAFER CANNABIS USE GUIDELINES. The responsible consumption of cannabis is mainly a health issue. People make their own choices. It's not the purpose of these guidelines to tell people how to behave, but to ensure they have solid evidence available so they can make educated and informed decisions. These guidelines will help people to make those decisions. The form of cannabis use with the lowest health, social, legal and economic risk is abstinence. Even so, more than 2 million Australians choose to use cannabis every year, and accept some degree of risk. Australians can reduce their health, social, legal and economic risks by following these guidelines. Reference: Chapter 11, "Cannabis: a harm reduction perspective" by Andrew Bennett, in the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) publication: "A cannabis reader: global issues and local experiences", available in pdf form at http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/monographs/cannabis These guidelines will be revised as better medical evidence comes to hand.

THE FLOW OF LIFE FORCE. NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-10-08 | http://www.ratical.org/renewables/hempseed2.html ----- HEMP SEED: THE MOST NUTRITIONALLY COMPLETE FOOD SOURCE IN THE WORLD Part Two: HEMP SEED OILS AND THE FLOW OF LIFE FORCE. by Lynn Osburn Hemp seed oil comprises 35% of the total seed weight. This oil has the lowest amount of saturated fatty acids at 8%, and the highest amount of the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids at 80%, total oil volume. Flax seed oil comes in second at 72% combined total essential fatty acids. LA, LNA and the highly unsaturated fatty acids the body makes from them, are necessary in the most active energy and electron exchanging and oxygen requiring tissues; especially the brain, retina, inner ear, adrenal and testicular tissues. They carry the high energy required by the most active tissues, and ensure very high oxygen availability to them. Life force travels through the body via the essential fatty acids and their derivatives. FULL TEXT at; http://www.ratical.org/renewables/hempseed2.html --------

BIG JOINT in Sydney NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-09-10 | POLITE BIG JOINT Flying Squad: Rally at the Powerhouse Museum. http://www.BIGJOINT.org The purpose of the Rally is twofold; to protest the current Cannabis laws in Australia and to draw attention to the bias implicit in the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre. (NCPIC) whose First National Cannabis Conference is being held at the same venue and time. The NCPIC is NOT providing unbiased information to the Australian public. In its role as an information service they should be providing information based on recent studies that indicate: * Cannabis is not a Gateway Drug1 * Cannabis does not have a causal link with Schizophrenia2 * Cannabis does not cause lung cancer3 They also confuse the problems caused by prohibition with their claimed harms of Cannabis use.4 They fail to provide any accurate or useful information to medical users of Cannabis via their telephone service. There are no pro-cannabis speakers included in the agenda for the first National Cannabis Conference, so instead there will be information available outside the conference at the protest rally. A Working Party established by the NSW Government to examine the use of cannabis for medical purposes concluded in its final report (August 2000) that medical conditions for which cannabis may be of medical benefit are : * HIV-related wasting and cancer related wasting, * Pain unrelieved by conventional treatments, * Neurological disorders including (but not limited to) multiple sclerosis (MS), Tourette's syndrome and motor neurone disease, * Nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy which does not respond to conventional treatments. 5 Canada has Federal Medical Marijuana laws, as do 14 States of the USA, The Netherlands, and several other countries in the world have decriminalised Cannabis use and possession. The rally intends to highlight these facts and asks the question, why are we being left behind by our government through the agency of the NCPIC? The BIG JOINT will be appearing at the Rally fresh from it's appearance at Lismore hospital, where protesters caught the attention of Kevin Rudd as they appealed for medicinal use of Cannabis to be allowed. There will be some speakers and entertainment at the rally and a HEMP information stand will be offering advice to people interested in alternative foods, fibres, paper manufacturing and other associated Cannabis uses. This rally has been recorded with the Traffic Division of the NSW Police Department as required.

BIG JOINT in Lismore. NIMBIN TELEVISION 2009-08-24 | BIG JOINT BUTTS IN -ON RUDDS RURAL HEALTH PLAN A delegation from the Nimbin HEMP Embassy seized the opportunity to remind PM Rudd that Cannabis is a health issue, during his visit to Lismore Hospital. The BIG JOINT crew scrambled, on short notice to represent cannabis consumers, who support law reform and re- legalisation. Code named; Operation Blunt End, the POLITE SQUAD provided logistical assistance to inflate the MardiGrass flagship. Medical Marijuana is now prescribed to school children in California for a wide range of common ailments, including stress and anxiety. Terminally ill patients receive natural relief for their pain and misery from registered dispensaries that provide a regulated supply. Legislation for medical use is now passed in 14 States of the US. Mexico has decriminalised many drugs for personal use. Australian laws on Cannabis use for medical and personal purposes must change. Victims are created from a situation that ruins lives, if you are caught experimenting as a youth or a poor lost soul. Punishment without fair reason is a disparity of justice compared to other crimes. Social problems are perpetuated by the over-inflated price for cannabis that attracts the criminal market. Prohibition of Cannabis is yet to show any success in suppressing the illegal trafficking of the herb and review of the current legislation is well over due. Money spent on attempting to prevent cannabis use has been wasted and has given reason to disrespect the legal process. Discrimination against alcohol abuse and nicotine addiction would be seen as undemocratic under the present laws. Now PM Rudd has placed the spot light on Rural Health it is essential that cannabis is prescribed for a wide variety of diseases, therapeutically. http://www.hempembassy.net http://www.NimbinMardiGrass.com/
