ok Bob good to see that you have recognised the bleeding obvious .While you were premier you had the opportunity to act yet did nothing so now in your second bite at the political cherry and a senior member of cabinet you might try a bit harder to make some changes .As a victim of so called petty crime to the tune of numerous break ins to my car and shops and thefts of my property with acombined total of $300oo over the last 20 years I would like to see the criminal element removed from drug distribution and promotion.We all know that prohibition does not work (alcohol) .If people are stupid enough to take /snort inject drugs I am sure that it would be less prevalent without crims peddaling their trade to pay for their addiction . It is high time that someone of your staure speaks out about this, now do something about it
well at least he can smell coffee.
It would be good if Cannabis was legalized; I could grow some natural light low HTC weed, quit the booz, and be happy 
Bob Carr ! what creditability has he got....... he ro*ted NSW when he had the
reins, ran everything into the ground. Farqu witt, but good eye candy? [}:)]
The potency argument is rubbish...
Hydro is a cash crop for dunces who don't know what they're doing, pumping plants full of chemicals fattening them up for a six week harvest....
The plants store these chemicals and don't have time to use them before being ripped out and hung to dry by captain no idea...
People smoking hydro are smoking these chemicals, which in effect 'rust' the brain
Grow your own pot, two plants done properly will leave you with enough bud for you and your mates to smoke for the rest of the year....
If you really know what you're doing, you can make enough cannabutter from the share leaves and kiff to blow out everyone you know every weekend for an entire year ..!
By that time next seasons crop of two plants is ready (and you haven't spent a cent)
How do I know...?
My record is 7 1/2 pounds off two plants (dried bud weight)

why not make alcohol & tobacco illegal as well? why pick and choose what's legal and what's not, on ABC radio today "if it wasn't for the illegal drug trade the world would be in bigger financial trouble"

the thing about drugs is moderation
we have media campaigns about alcohol in moderation..
i know a senior labo(u)r party member whose been a heroin user since I've know him... (twenty years)
the answer to anything in life (except maybe windsports) is moderation
^^ Flyman.
I had a 300kw car and never crashed it or hurt anyone.
I have flown a plane a bit and did OK (still here anyway)
I have many hi powered firearms, including a US Marines .300 win mag sniper rifle (civillian version, same thing pretty much).
Thusly, we should let anyone and everyone drive fast cars, fly planes with no license and own as many guns as they want. Cos I could handle all responsibly, maybe everyone can too.
Any problems, we deal with as a health and education issue.
Sweet?
The issue is that drug taking is considered to be a legal issue rather than a health or social issue.
Its in our nature to take substances or put our bodies in situations that alter our perception. Its something most people enjoy one way or another. Some people jump out of aeroplanes to experience this. Some people smoke some marajuana.
I think the war on drugs has failed. The evidence is there its failed. Basically all the war has done is failed to restrict supply and in the process has made suppliers, especially those up the chain, incredibly rich. This wealth has allow the drug dealers to corrupt government officials. Officials have seen the wealth involved with drugs and have turned to being involved in selling drugs. The money has lead to violence and death.
Meanwhile its easy for anyone to get a hold of illegal drugs.
The whole war has failed because its been premised on the hope that stopping supply will stop people from taking drugs. This is a false hope. All it does is drive up the price so more people look at how to make money out of the market that is demanding a drug that is in short supply. Very simple, supply and demand. The only way to stop the supply is to stop the demand. If demand was looked at, ie why people take drugs, and then some ways were developed to reduce demand, then perhaps the use of drugs may reduce.
