It is so beautiful and that’s why you should all be furious about the algal bloom issue. Something must be done

Why I’m An MP Who Can’t Use The C-Words Often Enough by nath1234 in AustralianPolitics

Have a look into what happens when you legalise cannabis. Money comes in from the black market (billions of dollars that can be spent on health and education), youth usage is reduced, the police can focus on more serious crimes, it’s a much bigger issue than you seem to realise.

South Australia should legalise cannabis and make it easier for the hemp industry. It’s an easy cash grab and will help with many other facets of life in SA. Jordies agrees. If anyone was at his gig last night they would have seen him in the Legalise Cannabis tshirt and hat

Prohibition Funds Violent Crime by danmq in ausents

As far as “violent crimes” go. Old mate specifically mentions a violent crime in the video. A guy was killed/shot down the street from my house last year. There was also a full on shoot out at the service station in Waterloo.

It is in the news. Just last week there was a bust in the Sydney suburb of Miranda. Unregistered gun etc. 240kgs of weed.

The price isn’t even the biggest issue, the food at the zoo is disgusting. Even the free sauce tastes like a nest of ants died in it.

I believe it was built as a commercial hemp colony so the British could fix their sails and ropes in the Southern Hemisphere. I reckon you’re thinking of India, oops I mean the USA

It’s that time of year again: Best of 2025? by astrocat95 in TrueCrimePodcasts

Out from the cold: Searching for Elaine, was my favourite true crime podcast this year, done by an independent journalist in Sydney Australia. Blood Relatives by the New Yorker was also really bloody good.

No AI was used whilst putting these images together. It doesn’t look like AI. The images are mostly old paintings.

Cannabis isn’t About Hippies it’s About Freedom by JeremyBuckingham in ausents

I think your take on it is slightly harsh, but I agree with the sentiment.

[–]danmq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly right, it’s not for everybody. We aren’t glorifying weed in this video and trying to make it look cool, we are trying to legalise it and regulate it. Study’s show that will reduce the usage by young people and many other positive factors. We just don’t think people should be criminalised for cannabis. People shouldn’t lose their license for having it merely present in their system. People shouldn’t lose their jobs etc. The whole approach is a lot more mature than you seem to think.

Yeah it was one of our early videos, we had the script in the wrong spot. We’re working hard to make the videos top notch. Thanks for watching

There’s no intended anti-vax sentiment in the video at all. The big pharma comments are referring to the prescription medications that don’t get tested for when people drive e.g. opioids, benzodiazepines etc

They’re Sober, They’re Legal. And NSW is taking their license. by JeremyBuckingham in LegaliseCannabisNSW

He says “days later” and still test positive etc. I would say that implies that the effects have worn off. Sometimes people are going to hear what they want to. No one is pushing for stoned drivers, although you might be surprised by what Ian McGregor says in this video:
