A year ago for every stoner there where at least two cop out to get you. That has now gone up to six cops per stoner. No wonder dagga smokers get paranoid. The worst thing that can happen to a person from smoking dagga is getting arrested.

Our brave police force: if 5 policemen (1 sergeant and 4 constables) arrest someone with 17 'stoppe' (and then find 4 plants), it's such a monumental achievement they get their picture in the paper. That's 3,4 stoppe per policeman or 1,25 policeman per plant or 5 policemen per person to be famous. …read more    

To decarb or not; that is the question and also rule of thumb when deciding to give medical dagga to children.

First of all get to know your Cannabinoids.

THCA is not active THC.

You can think of THCA as the raw plant. It does not give a high if you eat it as a salad or juice the leafs and buds.

It’s only when THCA is heated or burned that it’s converted to THC and becomes active.

I have made a non decarboxylated tincture before and I can tell you nobody will be running around goofed off their heads from THCA.

Vegetable glycerine tinctures are great substitute for alcohol based tinctures.

You need to combine at least a trinity of strains for a SUPER medicine, the more the merrier the saying goes.

If one understand the basics of cannabis, which should be mandatory part of education any person could potentially utilize high THCA content cannabis with high ratio CBDA (Which is the precursor of CBD like wise THCA is the precursor to THC) strains, without the psycho-active effects.

The basic rule of thumb would be decide if you require active or non active cannabinoids and then follow or ignore decarboxylation instructions in any recipe whether it’s tinctures or oil or edibles or alternatively 50/50 active to non active for a much broader spectrum of cannabinoids…

I would also like to point out, although I have not had personal experience, there are children with serious terminal life hindering diseases or conditions where the active cannabinoids make life altering improvements.

Also being high is not about being goofed off. At least it’s not my experience. It frees my mind from mental slavery. It’s a medicine for my mind, for the brain & for the soul.

Also I do not condone dagga use by children but as other activist pointed out. Older kids rebel and they will be enticed by prohibition to try dagga or even drink alcohol and smoke tobacco.

While dagga is illegal children have easier access to dagga.

“Would you rather have you kids buy dagga from a stranger or give adults their right to choose dagga over alcohol and tobacco and buy from a responsible “dispensary” or Smart Shop where regulation controls and restrict the sale of dagga to minors like with alcohol.” – Buzz

The Dagga Couple
This is a status update from Dr Mario Ambrosini Dear Friends and Foes: Following on the presentation of my Medical Innovation Bill I received an avalanche of messages of support as well as some criticism, both on Facebook and by email and telephone messages. I am very humbled and touched by all this. However, on account of my limited energy I am just not in the position of answering all such messages. What is essential is that anyone with something to say does not say it to me but expresses his or her view as a comment on my Bill by writing to mbcoetzee@parliament.gov.za with cc to berks.ford@gmail.com. It is essential that as many comments as possible be sent and that everyone commenting requests the opportunity to be heard by the Portfolio Committee of Parliament at a public hearing. We need to be sure that public hearings be held so that the voice of the people is heard in Parliament. Otherwise it will become easy to kill my Bill and ignore the issue. The deadline is tight. Comments must be in by 21st of March, the vernal of equinox. Therefore, let us waste no time, let us mobilize, let us the voice of people, the voice of common sense, the voice of reason be heard once more. IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU ALL MOBILISE AND WRITE YOUR COMMENTS TO THE ABOVE EMAIL ADDRESSES. THIS BILL WILL SURELY DIE OTHERWISE. THE TIME IS NOW, THE TIME IS RIGHT AND YOU ARE THE CHANGE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR……… Please share this post far and wide. …read more

Drie vas oor dagga op plaas in Ruiterbos

Refuse to accept the propaganda of government and their inability to distinguish medical patients from criminals and the ignorance they use to protect the profits being made on prosecuting, jailing, housing daggafarians and the budgets to keep dagga illegal.

They know it’s medicine, it’s food, it’s fuel, it’s clothing, its building material.

Dagga prohibition was never drafted to protect people. It’s an excuse for the genocide & incarceration of a minority.

Russian drugs boss rules out marijuana legalization; Poor Russia.

The head of Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service has called marijuana a dangerous gateway drug and said the authorities did not plan to legalize it, or to allow methadone treatment for heroin addicts.

“Marijuana users have a 50 or 60 times higher risk of switching to heroin. There is one step from dope to heroin,” Viktor Ivanov said in an interview with the Interfax news agency. Quoting unnamed medical research he said that those who smoke marijuana for recreational purposes later suffer from depression,dissatisfaction with life and schizophrenia.

Ivanov completely ruled out the possibility of legalizing marijuana in Russia, saying that such a move would put people in danger if it were used by air traffic controllers, bus and taxi drivers and the like.“Today we live in the age of high technology, a lot of things are managed with the help of computer systems. Someone who works at a nuclear power plant can wreak real havoc after smoking marijuana,” the official added.

The top Russian drug enforcer also questioned the effectiveness of modern measures taken to help drug addicts, such as methadone and handing out clean syringes. He said that there was no reliable evidence that methadone therapy was effective, and some European countries were disappointed with such programs. “If we want to hand out syringes we should do it in places with addicts, to prevent the spreading of diseases. If there are no addicts why would we give syringes to the people? Who would approve of people handing out syringes near his own home?” Ivanov told the agency.

Previously the head of the Russian drug enforcement agency opposed the legalization of soft drugs, both in Russia and in other countries. In December last year Ivanov said that Uruguay’s moves towards marijuana legalization was a mistake.

Russia has strict drug laws with no distinction between soft and hard drugs and lengthy prison sentences for dealing and trafficking. At the same time, addiction to drugs is not criminalized and treatment of addicts is strictly voluntary.

About 8.5 million Russians use drugs and psychoactive substances according to a government report published in mid-2013. However, the Health Ministry puts the number of drug addicts registered at specialist dispensaries at about 600,000.

65 year old man arrested after small dagga garden was found in his yard in Chartstone, Phoenix

How small do we need a microscope?

On Friday, 21 February, members of Phoenix SAPS, Phoenix SAPS Sector 6 Manager, Warrant Officer MZ Mthembu, Phoenix SAPS Sector 6 Commander Lieutenant Tania Pillay, Ward Councillor Bradley Singh, and Community Policing Forum(CPF) Sector 6 Chair for Ward 52 Dinesh Reddy converged on the house in Chartstone and found the dagga plants.

“We received a tip-off from community members informing us about dagga plants being grown in a backyard. We informed Phoenix SAPS via our sector manager W/O Mthembu and the raid was planned,” said Reddy.

Acting on the information supplied, the team of police officers and ward council members found about ten dagga plants, each about 2-meters tall, growing in the backyard of the house in Chartstone. The dagga plants were enclosed in a high fence and shielded from eyesight by plastic coverings all around them.

According to Reddy, after questioning, the suspect revealed more drugs that were hidden on his property. Reddy alleged that the suspect offered him a R400 bribe to let him go. With more questioning, the suspect revealed that he and his wife were using the marijuana for the treatment of their asthma. “But he could not give a proper account as to why there was so many plants on his property,” claimed Reddy.

Reddy also discovered remains of burnt dagga plants on the property. “From the residue of the burnt patches, it was evident that the suspects were harvesting the drugs and preparing them for sale to the public,” said Reddy.

The plants were removed and destroyed. “We salute the community members who were brave enough to inform us about this. We have a directive from our provincial commissioner Lieutenant General Betty Mmamonnye Ngobeni to take down drugs in KZN. We in Phoenix are serious about this,”said W/O Mthembu.

Councillor Bradley Singh said they will be clearing drug dens in Whetstone. “We are not afraid and we are going to clean up our town. Our people need to know that they can speak out
and we will hear their voices. We have been watching them cry all these years, now we are hearing their voices and we are acting on what they are saying. I want the people to know that if local authorities are not able to assist us, we are prepared to seek the assistance of our authorities to help us bring the drug dens in Phoenix down,” said Councillor Bradley Singh.

The 65-year old suspect was arrested and is awaiting his court appearance.

Motsoaledi must resign as he is not keen on decriminalising dagga

Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has downplayed suggestions that dagga will be decriminalised for medical purposes.

Motsoaledi was responding to a call by Inkatha Freedom Party MP, Mario Ambrosini, in Parliament to legalise the drug for medicinal use. The IFP MP is suffering from lung cancer, but Motsoaledi says people shouldn’t get too excited.

The Minister says, “What I am noticing here is a wrong excitement by people believing that we are going to use a disease of one individual, the problem that one particular individual is facing, to start applying to everybody.”

Motsoaledi says the excitement also comes from even those not affected by a similar problem as Ambrosini.

What is new here is that it was raised in parliament, politically, not medically, by a very prominent member of parliament who spoke directly to the President and maybe that’s what is making people excited

Motsoaledi says he has passed the issue to the Medical Control Council and will come out to the public and say to outline issues at hand. “All I am saying is that it is being debated as if it has never happened before that human beings went to the MCC to ask permission for remedies that are otherwise not applicable in the country.”

“What is new here is that it was raised in parliament, politically, not medically, by a very prominent member of parliament who spoke directly to the President and maybe that’s what is making people excited.”

Ambrosini, who suffers from a rare form of lung cancer, has come out to say the National Health Insurance will not become viable unless Government allows for alternative cancer treatment. He claims he has benefited from a cannabis-based treatment, instead of undergoing the more conventional and expensive chemo-therapy. He told a news conference in Parliament that he intends introducing a private members Bill, aimed at decriminalising dagga for medical use.
