Editorial

Greetings net newbies, netsurfers, zippies, hippies, yuppies (scum),
cyberpunks, activists, digital gurus, stoners...
Welcome to the first internet release of Mary Jane!
The two biggest media trends lately, if you've been in a cave for the past few
years, are the "Information Superhighway" and Prohibition.
The mass media prophesise that the "Information Superhighway" will change
society as we know it. Video communications, shopping from home, working
from home, even socialising from home! It's the wet-dream of the couch
potatoes of the world - EVERYTHING by remote control!
What the mass media often fails to mention, however, is the existence of
such a "superhighway" today. Most of you reading this will already have
experienced this information overload, the Internet.
The anarchistic flow of information on the 'net is far from the linear
highway portrayed by the media. If you've followed the hype behind the highway,
it probably sounds more like an MTV cultural takeover.
Fortunately for us, and unfortunately for those who wish to control the masses,
the chaotic nature of the 'net allows subersive information to roam free. From
anarchy to zen, there's no censorship here.
It is the power of the 'net that has allowed Mary Jane the transition between
an anti-prohibitionist university newsletter and a worldwide forum for issues
regarding the ending of prohibition! (hype, what hype?)
The paper version will continue to be produced with articles from both 'zines
being shared. Local and international blended, there are no borders on the
internet.
This zeroeth issue of Mary Jane is a compilation of articles from previous
journals. The editors and contributors must be thanked for their creativity,
this 'zine would not exist without it.
From here on, we hope to get as much feedback as possible from the 'net
community. If you have something to say, leap out of that smokey closet and
share your inspiration with the world.
Toke huge lungfuls of creativity and get writin'! Send anything at all that
streams through your consciousness relating to the holy happy herb. Get
writin', get ACTIVE!
And remember... Just say KNOW to drugs!

BATHTIME for BILLY!
Hey to all you pipers!
There comes a time when your ganjed up Bong needs to drop it's dirty hippy
facade and clean up its act! After heavy usage your bong becomes blocked and
down-right dirty, and you find that pulling pipes becomes a bit lethal on your
lungs. To prevent this your billy needs a regular soak and scrub.
There are no hard and fast rules on how this should be done. Many people use
really whacked-up cleaning products like Nappy-san, False Teeth Cleaner and
even Coca- Cola. Whist I would not subject my billy to this kind of cleaning
frenzy, many crazy pipers do!
There are various cleaning products which will keep your billy's anatomy in
smooth smoking form. To give you an idea, "Pipe Fresh" available from both
"Off Ya Tree" and "Smoke Dreams". It's about $5.00 for a 250ml bottle and it's
fairly awesome stuff. This along with a few bottle brushes helps keep a squeaky
clean pipe. However I find water and a low foam detergent like "Down To Earth"
or "Pure Velvet Soap" work just as effectively. Not only is this better for our
fragile globe, but it doesn't leave a bizarre collection of chemicals you will
probably inhale later.
Here's a step by step guide for bathing billy:-
1. Remove the stem, Cone and Rubber Grommet.
2. Place Billy under a running tap to clean the initial shit out.
3. Place Billy in hot water and the cleaner you have chosen, let it splash
around for a while, perhaps an hour.
4. Whilst Billy is soaking take time to inspect your stem and cone. Sometimes if
Billy hasn't been cleaned for a while the cone, drop in or screw on, can
become stuck due to stash build up. If it is a drop cone, soak it in hot
water, if it's screw on you'll have to use more forceful methods, like plyers
to get it unstuck. Clean the cone with a thick sewing needle and boiling
water. The stem is best cleaned with pipe cleaners and hot water. After you
have cleaned them make especially sure the cone is dry otherwise later it
could cause the stash to get damp, and you may have trouble lighting it.
5. Billy is now clean, put it back together. I'm sure I don't need to tell you
what happens next.
If you're pulling pipes through a fairly blocked bong, your lungs can fuck up
and smoking it can be a damn bastard. So it is worthwhile to keep your pipe in a
fairly anti-crap state so that every pipe will take you to oblivion and back on
a mind blowing thought wave journey.

CANNABIS
How much do we know? How little do we know?
Cannabis Sativa is a very abundant, unusually economically valuable plant,
possibly a dangerous plant, certainly in many ways a mysterious plant. It has
served humans long and well as a source of fibre from its stem; of oil from its
seeds, of a psychedelic drug from its resin.
Cannabis is one of humankind's oldest useful cultivation plants. Knowledge of
it's use by our ancestors goes back at least 6000 years, and obviously people
valued it:-
*Archaeological hemp specimens have been found in an Egyptian site of
3000 to 4000 years of age.
*Chinese tradition dates cannabis use back approximately 4800 yrs when
Emperor Sheen-Nung is credited with teaching his people to cultivate
the plant for fibre.
*The Indian medical writings, especially the Susrita; complied before
1000 BC report therapeutic use of cannabis resin. The nature of some
of the vernacular names in India, indicates its narcotic properties were
appreciated in early Hindu writing.
These are a small sample of findings of cannabis usage in the history of
mankind.
Hemp's diversity and usefulness in traditional cultures is ignored by single
interest groups, as they are effected by only one aspect (say paper or tobacco)
and have a one-sided view driven by greed. This wonderful plant used by some
minorities is then a tool against them, by a heavy duty run amok police state.
The negative way of viewing cannabis - as only a drug - has slowed the potential
technological advances coming from this plant, begun by our forebears. With
today's technology Cannabis Sativa has the potential to produce many useful
products. Studies of cannabis and its derivatives are of great benefit and
significance to humans, for reasons including it's effect on his/her life and
social evolution, it's stature, it's structure, it's place, it's life as a
plant.
These are all important, and without a clear comprehension of them we flounder
and are lost. We Mullers should look at these aspects of this weedy organism
for the future of the hemp industry, for its return rather than keeping one of
our oldest multi-economical plants in the dark.

attributable to tobacco and 26% to alcohol only 323 deaths (1%) were
attributable to opiates, the remainder arising from other drugs.
What is even more striking is that not a single death was attributable to
Cannabis use alone"

Recipes... with Raj
There are many good reasons for eating marijuana, both physiological and
spiritual.
Before you consider trying to eat grass, it must be thoroughly cleaned. Stems
and seeds must be picked out or the pot run through a sieve several times. It
is important to clean very very thoroughly since the idea is to disguise the
taste and texture as much as possible. A blender can make cleaning more
efficient. Whip it into powder as fine as flour.
Before you add marijuana to any recipe, you should fry it a little longer. This
softens it and makes it more palatable.
CARROT CAKE
Ingredients :
2 Cups sugar 1/2 Cup nuts
2 Cups flour 3 teaspoons soda
1/2 teaspoon of allspice 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 Cups oil 4 eggs
3 Cups grated carrot 1/2 Cup pot
Directions :
Combine ingredients and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes
FROSTING
Ingredients :
8 ounces cream cheese 1 lb. castor sugar
1 cube of butter 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions :
Cream ingredients together until smooth. This makes enough for two cakes.
PIZZA POT
Buy a pizza base. The more stuff you put on the pizza, the better it will be.
Make a sauce out of tomato paste/bolognese sauce. Add herbs, parsely, 1/2 cup of
diced onion, 1/4 cup of green pepper. Simmer ingredients. Some suggestions for
toppings-cheese, mushrooms capsicum, egg, tomato, pineapple, pine nuts, eggplant
etc etc etc.
Sprinkle the mull in between the ingredients and the tomato sauce. Use about 1/3
of a cup. Put all ingredients on except for the cheese and cook for 15 mins at
approx 200 degrees celcius. Then take it out, pile on the cheese and bake for
another 5-10 minutes.

COPING WITH A BUST
In Victoria, the possession of less than 50g of pot does not incur a conviction
or even a fine unless there are special circumstances. Use and cultivation are
still likely to get you both, however. Obviously, the aim is to make sure there
is no evidence to prove use, cultivation, or trafficking. The golden rule is, of
course, SAY NOTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE TALKED TO A LAWYER. The following is some
advice that is meant as a guide only, and legal advice is recommended if you are
charged with anything.
WHERE TO STASH IT
Never keep anything in your own room, and never tell the coppers who lives in
each room, who owns the house or holds the lease, or even who pays the rent.
They have to prove a connection (to knowingly possess or cultivate) between you
and any pot found. If they know its your room, you're gone. Similarly, if you
own the house or hold the lease you may be risking a charge of permitting the
place to be used for the smoking of marijuana.
Stash pot, bongs and plants in communal areas of the house, and never admit to
knowing it was there or that you even know what it is.
WHAT TO SAY
NOTHING. You are obliged to state your name and address if charged but do not
have to answer any other questions, and it is advised that you don't until
you've talked to a lawyer.
BE CAREFUL. The Police are experts at extracting information from unwilling
persons and anything you say WILL be used against you. There is no such thing as
an off-the-record conversation.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
Do not identify anything as marijuana, even if it was found in your pocket. It
is essential for the charge of possession that you know that the substance is
marijuana (or think that it is).
DO NOT ADMIT TO EVER HAVING SMOKED DOPE
Use is an offence for which a confession is practically the only way a
conviction can be recorded (unless you are caught in the act). Don't admit to
owning a bong or even that you know what it is.
ARREST AND BAIL
The Police have the power to either arrest you or to report you and send a
summons, once they decide to charge you with l. If you are in a situation where bail is needed then contact a lawyer
immediately. They will present the best case for bail and it should be granted
on more favourable conditions.
SEARCH
The Police have limited powers of search although in practice these seem to be
very flexible. If you are not under arrest they need
1) a warrant to search you or your home, or
2) reasonable cause to suspect a breach of the marijuana laws.
So always ask to see their search warrant or ask their grounds for suspecting
you. Once arrested they have the power to strip search you.
MISTREATMENT
If you have been physically abused or have had property damaged by the Police
take immediate action. Complain in detail to the most senior cop you can find
and then seek legal advice. Any delay will decrease your chances of redress.
Hopefully none of you will need this advice but if you do I hope it is in some
way helpful. Always remember, seek legal advice if it looks like you are going
to be charged with something serious, and don't answer any questions, no matter
how innocent they may seem.
The best way to avoid a bust of course is to get these ridiculous laws changed
(thought I was going to say stop smoking didn't you, FAT CHANCE), SO GET ACTIVE.

NEWSFLASH
DRUG DEALS GO METRIC
From the first of January next year, all drug deals will be categorised
according to a new metric system, a key Mafia figure said yesterday.
"The old ounces and pounds system was just a nightmare for our accountants.
We were forever losing the three ounces left over when a kilo is split into
two pounds, and the younger members of the family could never come to terms
with multiples of 16, 28, 35 etc. It is time for a change." said Don
Bartholemew.
The new system will be as follows :-
- ounces will be replaced by a new 25g bag that will probably be known as a
smounce.
- half-pounds and pounds will be replaced by quarter and half kilos, which will
contain 10 and 20 smounces respectively.
- kilos remain the same but now contain 40 smounces, instead of the confusing 2
pound, three ounces.
When pressed on what would happen to the average smoker's favourite - the
quarter ounce, the Don was cautious when he said that it would be replaced by a
fifth of a smounce (5g), assuring that all prices would be adjusted accordingly.

ENROL TO VOTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is absolutely no excuse for not being enrolled to vote. Even those on the
run can register using a friend or relatives address. Contrary to popular
belief, you will not be fined for all the elections you've missed since turning
18 when you go to enrol, nor is it very likely you will ever be fined for forgetting
to vote once you've registered. They do send a penalty notice, if you don't
vote, but it certainly doesn't require a genius to come up with an excuse to get
out of it, as the legitimacy of compulsory voting is debatable.
Believe it or not, your vote does count, more so at the next election, when
there will be a viable option for the smoking voter.
Enrolling to vote is very simple, the form is available at every post office
absolutely free of charge. The sooner the better, the only way to influence
today's politicians is by threatening (in large numbers) to vote for the other
side. Too many smokers (and young people in general) just don't bother to vote,
the politicians know this, and ignore us. Enrol to vote and prepare to send a
message to the government at the next election - Prohibition MUST END!

Smoother Smoke
The most popular way to smoke marijuana in Australia is the water pipe. As
these smoking implements have no instruction manuals, many people endure a harsh
smoke when much smoother is possible.
Commonly known as a bong or billy, water pipes are used to filter the smoke. Due
to this filtering method there are several simple ways to enhance the pleasure
of your toking:
1) Large chamber. The water in the chamber allows for filtering of the smoke.
The more water, the better the filtering.
2) Shotty. This is a hole in the pipe covered while inhaling the smoke. It is
then uncovered to ease the pulling of any remaining stale smoke.
3) Temperature of the water. There are two extremes for water temperature. Ice
water will cool the smoke, thus making it much easier to inhale. Hot or
boiling water moisturises the smoke with the vapors, smoothing out the
harshness. It is not advisable to use extreme temperatures in rigid plastic
water pipes as they may crack.
4) Alternative liquids. Some people like to experiment with watersubstitutes.
Flavoured cordials and jellies are the most popular options.
5) Multiple chambers. This allows for even more extensive filtering. A small
chamber filled with ice water, attached to a larger chamber filled with hot
water has been found to be the best combination. The end product is a smoke
so cool and moist that it is barely noticeable.
6) The bio-chamber. Commonly called "shot-gunning", this method involves
exhaling the smoke into another person's mouth. The smoke is almost
unnoticeable for the recipient. "Shot-gunning" can be an intimate form of
cannabis use and should only be practiced between consenting individuals.
7) Don't overfill the chamber. Having the bong spit in your mouth is one of the
worst experiences possible when using marijuana. Test the water level by
pulling the bong with an empty cone.
8) Keep your bong clean! There's nothing worse than a smelly bong, and germs can
thrive in such a moist environment. Keep it clear of resin build up, a
blocked bong can be hell.
It's generally best to experiment with your water pipe. Find the setup that is
most comfortable and look forward to smooth tokin'!

WHAT WE WANT - LEGALISATION!
Mullers, the time has come for ACTION! I see a number of articles in the pages
of Mary Jane and Lot's Wife on WHY possession, cultivation and use of Indian
Hemp should be legalised, but I think everyone who reads them already knows.
The people we really need to convince are the general public. Once politicians
think that they are more likely to be voted in if they support marijuana reform,
they will almost certainly follow and get rid of those ridiculous laws.
People who oppose marijuana legalisation often see us as 'the enemy'. For this
reason, protest rallies and the like are not the way to go. The way to convince
them is to present our case in a way that does not insult too much (ignorant as
they are). To this end, I think we should aim for reasoned media coverage, of
the sort that mis-informed people would be exposed to (ie not Mary Jane and
Lot's Wife!). We should be writing letters to newspapers, from the big ones like
The Age for mass coverage, and also the smaller local papers, who are more
likely to print your letters! As a means for converting those opposed to
marijuana for it's psychedelic effects, I would suggest emphasising the reasons
for legalisation which are more related to it's commercial value. The rest of
this article will summarise the main points as accurately as possible, for you
people to put in your letters.
o Until 1938, when it was made illegal in the United States, hemp was the
principle fibre of the world. Over 5000 things were made from it, including
virtually all of the world's canvas (the Dutch pronunciation of 'Cannabis'),
rope, sailcloth, linen, rope, etc. It's oil was used in most paints and also
as a lighting fuel.
o In 1938, a machine called the decorticator was invented. This machine stripped
the fibrous parts of the hemp plant, eliminating the extremely labour-
intensive practice of picking by hand. This looked like opening the way for
hemp as a paper making material, which had previously only been used for
applications where hemp's superior quality and durability were valued
(including two drafts of the American Constitution). For DuPont, this process
would have spelled disaster since they had just invested millions in a timber
based paper-making process. To counteract this, a very high ranking official
in the DuPont Chemical Company named William Hearst began a media campaign
in his own chain of newspapers. He referred to hemp as marijuana, which had
two effects: firstly it made the (generally racist) population associate the
plant with Mexicans, known by the public by the time as an amoral, criminal
group. Secondly, it had the effect of making the public think that marijuana
and hemp were two different things, thus removing most of the opposition to
the Marijuana Tax Act, the first step in hemp prohibition. In summary,
prohibition was a result of vested interests in an environmentally inferior
(more of that later) process, brought about through racist slurs and
misinformation
o Hemp is the world's fastest producer of biomass - 10 tons in about 120 days,
over a single acre. This makes it a prime candidate for alternative energy
production. It is estimated that if just 6% of the United States was planted
with hemp, ALL of the country's oil and gas needs would be met. Moreover,
whilst biomass fuel is burnt, releasing carbon dioxide, the carbon is
originally extracted from the air by the hemp plant anyway, unlike fossil
fuels. Charcoal produced from biomass processes, which would be used to
substitute coal in power stations, is virtually free of other chemicals
such as sulphur, which reacts in the burning process ultimately to produce
acid rain. Biomass fuels are a 100% renewable resource, effectively a form
of solar power. And of course, hemp is a lot cheaper to make than solar cells!
o Trials before prohibition showed that hemp crops yielded on average 4.1 times
the mass of paper of a field of trees of the same size, in a given period of
time. In addition, a more constant supply is assured with hemp since a given
plant is planted, grown and harvested in a single season, compared to trees
which can take decades to reach maturity. The hemp paper-making process is
also more environmentally friendly, hemp paper containing no dioxins or other
toxic chemicals.
o Hemp yields twice as much fibre for fabric per acre than cotton and flax. Hemp
fabric is very versatile, and can be woven to be extremely strong, or
extremely fine. It is believed by many to be superior to all other natural
fibres. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester and rayon are made from fossil
fuels, which we all know are a rapidly dwindling resource. Hemp not only
preserves this resource, but helps counteract the greenhouse effect produced
primarily from the burning of fossil fuels.
o Marijuana could play a role as a safe nausea suppressant in a prohibition-
free society. Already some physicians are recommending cannabis use to
patients undergoing drug treatments such as chemo-therapy (for cancer) and
AZT (for AIDS) to counteract the terrible nausea associated with them.
Doctors are also suggesting marijuana to victims of muscle-spasm diseases
such as glaucoma and Multiple-Sclerosis.

SINSEMILLA TIPS
The planet earth has just passed the equinox which means the days are now
becoming shorter and the nights longer. A very important time in the lives
of happy growers. The plants life-cycle undergoes major changes as the grower watches with
patient anticipation. This is a short but concise account of the critical
time for the harvesting muller. What to look for, when to pick, and how to
prepare the buds; so they look great, smell delicious and smoke you into
fantasy land!!!
The cannabis plant regulates it's growth and flowering stages by measuring
changes in the number of hours of uninterrupted darkness to determine when
to flower. The plant produces a hormone (phytochrome) beginning at
germination. When this chemical builds up to a critical level, the plant
changes it's mode from vegetative growth to flowering. Male plants flower
before the female. The male plants should be removed to stop any
fertilisation occuring. A grower wants sinsemilla buds.
An unfertilised plant will continue to produce new flowers. The buds get
thick with the unfertilised flowers over a period of several weeks. The
flowering patterns begin to change, the stigmas begin to wither and change
colour. Next the ovaries begin to swell, however it's only a false
pregnancy. Here the glands begin filling up with canniboids. Usually the
heads will seem as though they will burst, showing the last stage of
flowering. As soon as the heads show any amber shade they should be
harvested, otherwise the THC will begin to degrade into two other
canniboids (CBL & CBN).
THC is the ingredient which is PSYCHOACTIVE!!! The other two are it's
precursors, which often leave the smoker feeling disoriented, sleepy,
drugged, and/or confused. The goal is to allow the plants to reach their
full potential, that is to obtain the highest amount of mind blowing
substance possible!!!
When a bud is picked, many of it's metabolic processes continue for a
while. The cell begins to convert carbohydrates back to sugars and break
down some of the pigments. Chlorophyll is one of the pigments affected.
Buds will appear a lighter green than when first picked. Some of the other
pigments break down to give the bud a red-purple or cream colour. The crop
needs to be dried slowly so that moisture remains in the cells to continue
the life processes.
Since all of the vegitation is contributing moisture to the air,
ventilation is essential to prevent mould forming. While the plants are
drying, the large leaves can be removed. It is harder and takes longer to
manicure when the plants are wet. To manicure the budding area, large sun
leaves present are removed. The buds should now appear almost naked, except
for some single fingered leaves sticking out from between the flowers. To
enhance appearance these leaves can be clipped to the circumference of the
flower. Sun leaves are unsuitable for smoking, however they are useful for
cooking, brewing or extracting the THC to make HASH or HASH OIL.
IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE CURRENT LAW TO CULTIVATE MARIJUANA IN AUSTRALIA!
Marijuana prohibition was initiated because of the people who smoke it. The
laws continue in effect today for those same reasons. Politicians do not
like people who think for themselves, are independant and who recognise
bullshit. They would prefer for each citizen to become a subject; a ward of
the state, who is dependant on the government for making his/her life
decisions. Gunja tends to let us develop different set perceptions, to see
the world a little differently, to change not only what we think, but how we
think. This is what scares the regulators.
Go forth and multiply
Have a MARY season

BUSTED!
Every smoker's worst nightmare - a run in with the police. During February
I had my first encounter with "The Heat" and I found it very educational.
The story goes a little like this. It was 2am on a Saturday morning and I
was walking down Rathdown street. That night I had gone to a friend's place
for dinner and we had had a smoke.
So it was that I found myself walking back to the house I was staying at,
bent as a banana and generally feeling pretty groovy. I had a briefcase
that contained my smoking equipment (all manner of bongs, cones, stokers,
papers, toys, etc.) when I saw a police car pull over in front of me.
Immediately my mind went into paranoia overload but I thought - Hey, this
is cool, they just want my name and address, just be cool and everything
will be cool (seriously, this is how I was thinking).
Being cool, relaxed and generally "with it" I approached the car and
exhanged a few greetings. The car held a policeman and policewoman who gave
me a few questions; Who are you? Where do you live? Got any I.D.? Where are
you going? etc.
Everything was going really well until they asked "What's in the
briefcase?"
"Just some papers and stuff"
"Can we have a look inside?"
A pregnant pause followed after which I replied, "Uhh... I'll have to
unlock it".
"Fine"
Damn! Now I was in the shit. As I fiddled with the combination I ran
through the various consequences of a trip down to the station and felt
pretty sorry for myself. To add a touch of drama to the situation I added a,
"Da-Dah!" when the case sprung open.
Soon the case was on the bonnet and I was being patted down. "Wow tense," I
thought, "this is like T.V."
The two officers seemed to be impressed with my collection of
paraphernalia. They asked me what the going price on the street was and I
said I really didn't know and spun some shit story about having friends of
friends who grew. A piece of comic relief came when they found I was
reading "Getting Busted".
When it all boiled down I didn't have any dope (we'd smoked the last of it
that night) and the police let me go. The impression I got was that they
had discounted me as a harmless hippy and the fact that I wasn't carrying a
knife or anything probably helped a lot.
The encounter has forced me to change my attitude towards the police. I
had read several texts on what to do when stopped by the police, and had
actually done all the wrong things. The recommended thing to do when
stopped by the police is to just not tell them anything, as is your right.
In fact many of the articles encourage one not to even talk to the police.
However in my situation I was courteous and didn't give them any shit. They
were just two people doing their job. From this experience I have concluded
that police are only dangerous if you piss them off. One must remember that
the particularly belligerent police may get pissed off just because you
look strange, but there you go. I recommend that you make their job easier
without compromising yourself (if you are arrested everything you say will
be used against you). However if you are arrested then don't say anything
until you see a solicitor.
If you get hassled by the police then do everything you can to avoid arrest
but if you are arrested make sure you don't reveal anything you shouldn't
(like anything more than your name and address) and take everything
incredibly seriously.
Finally remember the police are people too. They may think you're a no good
pot head, but it's worth your while not to make them see you as an opponent
or actually hate you.

:) HAPPY COOKIES :)
Once upon a time in a seaside suburb far, far away, a young Druid decided
to make some magic cookies for some of his friends.
He firstly took some magic leaves from a special plant that only grows in
cupboards with intensive lights, and chopped them up extremely finely
until he had 1/2 - 1/3 cup.
He then took 100g of butter and put it in a container with the chopped
leaves. Being a technologically advanced pagan, he then placed this in the
microwave for 2-2.5 minutes (until the butter had melted through the
greenery).
If a microwave was not available, he would have used the traditional method
of using a saucepan of boiling water with a bowl containing the goodies
sitting on top. He would then leave this for approximately 10 minutes.
He then added 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Some cooking chocolate was
then melted and added to the mixture, along with 2 eggs and some vanilla
essence. He even decided to add some chopped nuts for a bit of variety.
This magic mix was then shaped into small cookies, and ritually baked at
300 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
Other Druids partaking of these magic cookies saw bizarre visions, and some
even celebrated by showing everyone the contents of their stomachs. The
moral of this story... MODERATION.
A lovely cake (or cup cakes) can be created by using a packet mix and
adding the butter/mull mix. Cook as per directions on the box. I have
personally had a great deal of success using this method.

ARE YOU A CRIMINAL?
In light of a recent debate concerning the possible decriminalisation of
marijuana in states like Queensland, it is important to remain aware of the
current drug-related offences operational in Victoria. This may not be the
most entertaining read of the paper, but I felt it was crucial to explain
in formal terms the legalities of what is for many, a recreational past-
time.
This article outlines the major offences dealing with marijuana;
possession, use, cultivation, trafficking and conspiracy. It is a brief and
largely simplified version of complicated legislative and common laws. It
does not encompass the detailed developments in these laws, and any person
charged with a drug-related offence should seek legal advice.
POSSESSION
According to Fitzroy Legal Service, possession is the most common offence.
As determined by a High Court decision, possession is defined as 'having
physical control or custody of the drug to the exclusion of others not
acting with the person. The prosecution must prove knowledge by the person
of the presence of the drug and an intention by the person to possess the
drug." Under state law, mostly contained in the Drugs, Poisons and
Controlled Substances Act 1981 as amended, a person is said to be in
possession of drugs which are:
(1) Upon any land occupied by the person;
(2) Upon any premises occupied by the person;or
(3) Used, enjoyed or controlled by the person in any place whatsoever,
unless the person satisfies the court to the contrary.
Legally, a person is deemed to be occupying premises if he/she has control
enough to exclude others, although just using a place is usually
insufficient. Basically this means that if you are found occupying a place
in which an illegal drug is found also, you are guilty of possession unless
it can be proved otherwise - ie. if you did not know the drug was there, or
if you did know, did not intend to possess it.
Penalties:
Penalties vary according to the quantity and the purpose of possession. The
severity also depends on whether the matter is heard as a summary or
indictable offence. It is common for most cases to be heard summarily in
the Magistrates Court.
A 'small quantity' of cannabis is fifty grams. The penalty for possessing a
small quantity not related to trafficking is a $5,000 fine and/or
imprisonment for three years. Paradoxically, if the matter is heard as an
indictable offence, the fine is only $500 and no imprisionment, yet this
would involve taking the case to a higher (and more expensive) court which
Legal Aid does not cover.
However, a recent amendment of section 76 of the Drugs, Poisons and
Controlled Substances Act 1981 (Vic) provides that under certain
conditions, such as previous record and the defendant's character, the
Magistrate must consider an adjourned good behaviour bond, which means no
conviction is recorded and no penalty (except maybe a contribution to the
court fund). This section indicates the willingness of the legislature to
reform areas of drug laws which are considered unjustifiably severe.
USE
To 'use' marijuana is a summary offence, with much more lenient penalties
than for the use of other drugs. 'Use' is defined under the above Act as
including smoking, inhaling the fumes of, or introducing a drug into a
person's body.
Penalties:
The penalty for using cannabis is five hundred dollars and a bond is possible.
The use of other drugs (for example LSD, amphetamines) incurs a possible one
year jail term and a fine of $3000.
CULTIVATION
It is prohibited to cultivate a narcotic plant - these plants being
cannabis, opium poppy and coca plant. Under the Drugs Act, to 'cultivate'
includes to -
(a) Sow a seed of a narcotic plant;or
(b) Plant, grow, tend, nurture or harvest a narcotic plant.
The legal test for cultivation is stringent, one single act constitutes this
offence, so to water a plant or to nurture one leaf is sufficient to be
caught for cultivation.
The only defence allowed for in the Act is where the person charged with
cultivation can satisfy the court on the balance of probabilities that,
having regard to all the circumstances (including his/her conduct) in which
the alleged offence arose, he/she did not know or suspect and could not
have reasonably been expected to have known, that the narcotic plant was a
narcotic plant.
Penalties:
Where it can be proved that the cultivation was not intended for any
purpose related to trafficking, the person is liable to a fine of not more
than $2000 and/or to imprisonment for up to one year. In any other case,
the fine is up to $100,000 and/or imprisonment for up to fifteen years.
The major problem with being charged with the offence of cultivation is
that according to the law, a person who cultivates the trafficable quantity
is held, prima facie (on the surface), to be intending to deal. Thus, the
onus is on the person to prove they are not guilty of dealing. The second
problem is that the average mature plant generally satisfies the quantity
required to be charged with trafficking.
It is therefore likely that a person found guilty of cultivation will also
be guilty of trafficking and possession, although a person cannot be
punished twice for the same offence.
The primary defence would be of denial of trafficking and an explanation
for cultivation, the most common being that the cannabis was grown for
personal use.
TRAFFICKING
Under common law, trafficking is understood to mean "movement from source
to ultimate user in the course of trade." This includes selling in the
usual sense and, according to the Fitzroy Legal Service, "may be proved by:
(1) direct evidence (observation of, or participation in a sale);
(2) inference - a conclusion from a set of facts (for instance, possession
of a quantity larger than for personal use, accompanied by scales, bags,
cash, etc.);
(3) admission/confession to the police."(Although obviously this option is
not recommended).
There are further elements related to trafficking under the Drugs Act. These
include preparing a drug for sale, manufacturing a drug, and selling,
exchanging, agreeing to sell, offering for sale, or having in possession
for sale, a drug of dependance. Note that to make a gift of a drug does not
constitute trafficking, although exchanging it for something else does.
Some examples of situations in which you would be considered trafficking:
* packaging or drying cannabis for sale is sufficient to prove guilt of
trafficking, even though no sale has yet occured.
* offering to sell a drug is also sufficient, even if the substance turns
out not to be an illegal drug - the intention of the offender is enough.
It is important to remember that a person charged with trafficking cannot
argue a sale hasn't actually occured, legally this is irrelevant and a
further admission.
Penalties:
These also vary according to amount.
(1) A commercial quantity: 100 kilograms
If the case is decided as an indictable offence, the punishment is
extremely severe; imprisonment for 25 years and/or a fine of $250,000.
Note also that it is often Federal, as opposed to State, law that deals
with the more serious offences. (The Federal legislation is contained
mostly in the Customs Act 1901 as amended). No bond is possible for
trafficking offences. However, it must be established beyond reasonable
doubt that the amount is a commercial quantity, and it is possible to
differentiate between that which is for the owner's personal use, and
that which is intended for sale.
(2) A trafficable quantity: 250 grams
(LSD:0.002 grams)
(Speed, cocaine and heroin: 2 grams)
(Hash: 25 grams)
Trafficking any quantity other than 'commercial' incurs a lesser
penalty: three years jail and a $5000 fine, or at worst, fifteen years
and a $100,000 fine.
With regards to other illegal drugs, the trafficable amount is defined
in terms of the quantity of "pure drug". Thus, if you are caught with 2
grams of speed which is only fifty percent pure, this is not a
trafficable quantity.
CONSPIRACY
Conspiring to commit any of the above offences is the fifth category of drug-
related charges. It does not matter whether the action is actually carried
out; planning with another person to possess, cultivate or deal is
sufficient. Under the Drugs Act, the offence of conspiracy is completed at
the time the agreement was made.
Penalties:
The same for the offences of use, possession, cultivation and trafficking.
Other offences:
* To forge a prescription or obtain a drug by false representation.
* To aid, abet, procure, solicit or incite an offence. Incitement includes
inducement, encouragement and authorisation.
* To attempt any of the above offences, which carries the same penalties as
committing the offence. It must be proved that you intended to commit the
principal act, and that you acted to further this intent.
One final comment regarding defences to these offences is that, contrary to
popular belief, the notion of 'entrapment' no longer exists in Victoria.
Prior to 1988, a person could claim entrapment by arguing they were incited
to commit an offence they would not, or were unlikely to have committed;
for instance, an undercover cop has encouraged an act of trafficking by
requesting drugs of the offender. This defence no longer stands.
Hopefully readers will now have a better idea of the law regarding marijuana
related offences. If you require specific details, the club now has copies
of the relevant legislation. Please note that the author has intended to
educate about, not condone or encourage, the use of illegal drugs.
