Australia: Pro-cannabis group says shift towards amphetamines
ABC News Online
Tuesday 20 Feb 2007 A pro-marijuana group says a recent report on cannabis shows people are moving away from the drug and are using more amphetamines. The Nimbin Hemp Embassy in northern New South Wales has slammed the Federal Government for claiming the latest research shows it is winning the war on drugs. The report from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre has revealed many young people believe cannabis is uncool and dangerous. Hemp embassy spokesman Michael Balderstone says the Prime Minister and Assistant Health Minister Christopher Pyne have no idea of the affect of cannabis, or what people are using on the street. "They would really know a lot about cannabis wouldn't they ... these are people that have no idea of what's going on in the street I reckon," he said. "Pot is the easy bust. You have to smoke it, it's smelly but alcohol is legal and 'ice', powders, pills they're very hard to detect, so there are changes happening there's no doubt about it." http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200702/s1852051.htm
