on local radio yesterday that the Norwich City council will not be accepting donations from the Garden House pub to help the few Afghan refugee families being housed in Norwich ! No real reason given apart from they need furniture and household items and are not looking to individual or communities for those donations. Crazy?

UK Cannabis News
UK Cannabis News: I do not know about the wording of the laws other
countries but here in the UK the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 states that
the possession, cultivation / production, supply of cannabis and
cannabis products containing THC without licence is unlawful.
Many
f us believe it is important to explain that it is the human
activities that are supposedly “controlled” by law, not cannabis
(or other specified substances / drugs) not cannabis
itself.
Cannabis is a substance / plant and cannot be
legal or illegal, criminalised or decriminalised.
Nevertheless,
campaigners, journalists, MP’s and even the legal profession,
continue to use words such as “legalise cannabis” or “cannabis
is illegal”. We believe those phrases can dehumanise the legal
situation. It is people that are punished by the courts.
Recently
several prosecutions for possession (one for 1 ounce and 1 for 6
ounces) have been dropped by the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service)
after the Defence demanded that the CPS produce the “foundation
evidence” upon which the inclusion of cannabis as a “controlled)
and classified, scheduled drug in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and
other legislation. The CPS, the ACMD (Advisory Council on the
Misuse of Drug) and the Home Office has said that such evidence no
longer exists. This may mean that many cases will be
dropped.
OUTLAW of Manchester has put together a strong
legal team and case to bring a Judicial Review on the Misuse of Drugs
Act and its application, and raised the money for the case and surety
against its failure. It is possible that the Judicial Review with
rule against the Misuse of Drugs Act making future prosecutions
unworkable and previous prosecutions and punishments unlawful as far
back as 1971. The case may be due in court within weeks.
Meanwhile,
there has ben an increase in private prescriptions through private
companies that charge consultation fees, evidence of diagnosis and
two previously proposed treatments, selling cannabis bud at prices
ranging from £5 to £15 per gram. Many people are now receiving
prescription cannabis though the post. This is in addition to
Sativex which is supplied to a very limited number of people at
charges through the NHS.
Another incentive is the
“CanCard” which is sold under similar criteria to people that
wish to use cannabis to treat their ailments but are unable to obtain
it on prescription. These cards are sold at £30 each plus an annual
renewal fee of £20 – hugely profitable for the producers of
CanCard. They claim that production of the card at point of stop and
search will persuade police to use their power of discretion and not
arrest, and claim that many police forces are working within this
incentive. But whilst people receiving cannabis legally through
private or NHS prescription would not need the card, the card does
not cover cultivation or supply.
The WTU (We The
Undersigned) attempt to bring legal action against the Government
over the abuse of Human Rights when the MODA is applied has come to a
halt due to lack of funding – the legal advisor has stated that such
a case may cost up to £150,000 and the Government may ask the court
to demand a surety against failure of the case to cover Government
costs of up to £250,000. Also waiting to see the Outcome of the
Outlaw case.

A Convenient Truth by Alun Buffry
To those that have yet to find peace and fulfilment in their lives - in essence we are all the same, that peace is within us all.
When we have felt love, peace, joy and fulfilment, we have felt it within ourselves, not outside by whatever seems to have enabled it to be experienced.
When we have not felt it, maybe because external circumstances are not the way we want them to be, it is still within us - sometimes it takes just a sigh to feel it again, sometime we cannot. Maybe we are not then able to look in the right place. Maybe, like most things in life, we need help and guidance.
So who will show us, where should we look and how - and maybe important to some, how much will it cost, how much effort will it take, how much will be have to sacrifice? and will it actually work for me?
It seems maybe too good to believe, that peace is possible; we have our doubts. so much in this world has promised so much but has already let us down.
So when somebody comes along and says, listen, I can show you, we are so reluctant.
Even though we believe so much advertising, so many empty promises and even though if somebody we know and trust says "taste this", "smoke that", go there, listen to that, read that, watch that film, we so readily take their advice.
Religions don't always work - they often cause people to live in fear or under strict rules: much of science too, is a religion, maybe not with so much fear or so many rules, but requiring beliefs and, a shame, that so often those beliefs do not give us the peace and fulfilment we want.
Think abut it, why do we do what we do, go where we go, follow instructions and ambitions - where are we hoping to go, what are we looking for? Peace? Joy? Love? Freedom? Satisfaction? Knowledge? just how far will we go, just how long a journey would we make, just how much would we do, or even pay, for those things, those feelings and experiences.
So if somebody says, listen, I tell you in truth - this is the way to go - and it costs nothing but a little effort and patience - to be shown how to achieve all that, to find what we want, what everybody wants, that is already within just waiting to be experienced again - who will listen?

OTP - one time passcode on on-line banking
how about giving us a little more time with that OTP security measure on on-line banking? By the time i get the text, open it and scroll to code, I have less than 10 seconds to type in the random code, usually run out of time and have to do it again; sometimes 2 or 3 times - give us please at least a minute from sending text, some of us oldies are slowing down.
