Antonio Maria Costa: Cannabis… call it anything but ‘soft’

Supporters of legalisation would have us believe that cannabis is a gentle, harmless substance that gives users little more than a sense of mellow euphoria and hurts no one else. It’s not an unattractive image. Sellers of “skunk” know better.

This is much closer to the truth. The cannabis now in circulation is many times more powerful than the weed that today’s ageing baby-boomers smoked in college.

Under South Australian laws, the cultivation of one cannabis plant in the ground attracts a $300 on-the-spot fine. Anyone caught possessing less than 25g of cannabis receives a $150 fine. Anyone caught growing even one cannabis plant hydroponically faces an automatic court appearance. Mr McManus said there was "ample evidence" marijuana was a "gateway" drug that led to users taking other drugs. "They are saying it’s okay to grow and use it," he said.

Put a Lid on This Pot LOS ANGELES (AP) — A minister who was arrested on charges of marijuana possession has sued police for $30 million, contending his civil and religious rights were violated because he heads a church that uses pot during worship. Craig X Rubin, 41, is the founder of Temple 420, which holds that pot is a religious herb. “Our congregation mandates members study the Bible, have faith in God and regularly burn the herb cannabis (The Tree of Life mentioned in the Bible) as sacrament,” says the lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court.

It gives doctors the right to recommend — but not prescribe — marijuana for people suffering from cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and other conditions that cause “intractable pain. But state law limits the amount of marijuana an individual can possess for medical use to a 60-day supply. People found with marijuana can still be arrested, but if they prove it’s for medicinal purposes they can avoid being charged with a crime in the state system. That does not protect them from federal prosecution, however. Sarich said doctors , not a state agency, should determine what constitutes a 60-day supply for individual patients. “That is completely unacceptable,” said Sarich, who said he takes medical marijuana for an incurable spinal disease.
