Sturts desert pea banned
« on: March 20, 2011, 07:44:05 AM »
http://www.news.com.au/national/law-proposal-claims-sturts-desert-pea-as-dangerous-as-marijuana/story-e6frfkvr-1226024703494
First thoughts were is it April 1st today!
SOUTH Australia's floral emblem - Sturt's Desert Pea - will join marijuana on a banned list of plants under a proposed change to a Federal Government law.

My Wife has successfully grown them from seed in Sydney. Must admit I never thought of rolling one up  ;D

Ive heard of people ingesting vb like that. Apparently it's the only tolerable way.

Won't somebody please think of the children??

We have lost the plot, sugar cane and potatoes will soon join the prohibited list, because you can use them to produce alcohol - prohibition is just around the corner people!

Probably not unexpected when you consider we eat one of the animals on our national emblem.

I also read the Wattle should be on that list  ???

The department for every thing has said that they have no plan to ban them but will now be keeping and eye on the sale of them in large numbers.

I remember in Christchurch NZ when I was young there was a round about that was planted with poppies. Once a year all the plants would be stolen, obviously thought they could make some Opium... ;D Now where did I put that Bong :laugh:
