Austrailia Proposes Banning Nature
    #14467717 - 05/17/11 12:37 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Quote:

Legislation being proposed in Australia would criminalize most permaculturists, farmers, gardeners, nurseries and bush regenerators by banning any plant that contains  DMT – a naturally-occurring hallucinogen.  Five plants are currently criminalized, but the new list  will include hundreds (possibly thousands) of other species that are common garden plants and include a significant number of common native plants including the national flower, the wattle. 



Having any of these plants could get you charged with and convicted of a federal drugs violation. The list can be found here, comprising about four pages of the 41-page document.

Garden Freedom is leading a campaign to block the legislation. The public is urged to contact the Minister for Justice, the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP with comments at Criminal.Law@ag.gov.au by March 11. (See instructions here).

The purpose of this new legislation is supposedly to stop major drug trafficking, yet many of the targeted plants have never been traded for drugs and have no value as drug plants, because they only contain traces of the compounds.

The proposed laws will make hundreds or possibly thousands of plants illegal. Many of these are common garden plants that honest, law abiding citizens have legally grown for as long as they remember. The laws will affect the commercial propagators, nurseries, farmers, collectors, botanic gardens, seed merchants, landcare groups and most gardeners.

    * Farmers may need to change their pasture grasses and legumes.
    * Gardeners, collectors, and botanic gardens will have to remove precious plants from their collections.
    * Landcare and dunecare groups may no longer work with the species they are used to and that are native to their region.
    * Nurseries may no longer propagate many of the plants they normally propagate.
    * Botanists may no longer collect samples from many plants.
    * Seedbanks will need to destroy many of their precious seeds.

DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is ubiquitous in nature and is likely to be present in thousands of species. If DMT is found in one species within a genus then it is likely to be found in other species of that genus. Some common plants include grasses, wattles, peas, nutmeg, screwpines, buckwheat, citrus trees, and violets. Also included are legumes, the Leopard tree, Honey Locust, wisteria and cattle forage plants like Desmodium, wetland plants such as the Common Rush (Phragmites), and common pasture grasses (Phalaris spp) — even the ice plants in your Granny’s rock garden would be effected by the legislation.

The existing schedule of criminalized plants include:

1. Any plant of the genus Cannabis
2. Enhanced cultivation of any plant of the genus Cannabis
3. Any plant of the genus Erythroxylum from which cocaine can be extracted [...] incl E.coca & E.nova-granatense
4. Papaver bracteatum
5. Papaver somniferum
6. All fungi that contain PSILOCIN
7. All fungi that contain PSILOCYBIN

The proposed new schedule will include:

8. Any plant containing MESCALINE including any plant of the genus Lophophora
9. Any plant containing DMT including any plant of the species Piptadenia Peregrine
10. Salvia divinorum (Diviners Sage)
11. Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom)
12. Catha edulis (Khat)
13. Any species of the genus Ephedra which contains ephedrine
14. Any species of the genus Brugmansia
15. Any species of the genus Datura.




Australia is fucking awesome, don't get me wrong. Awesome landscapes and scenery, nice cities, an amazing wildlife unique to that continent specifically

THAT BEING SAID - WTF is wrong with you, Australia? A wag of my finger to you.

Discuss.

Goee.

They need to ban animals and humans as well.  All humans should be a class a drug cocktail.

That new herbals banning that just came in here  :shakefist:  bunch of cunts.

Their game is so obvious, they'll make up mental disorders and dish out placebo pharms to children but nature is illegal.  Fucking George Orwell is stirring in his grave.

They're literally making grass illegal with this, but I'm sure they're too fucking dumb to realize it.

The US bans some stupid stuff and I'm sure they'll do this soon but they haven't done anything as ridiculous as banning all DMT containing plants yet :lol: that's beyond stupidity.

i think all governments should just do a national crop dusting of round up in each of their respective countries so the entire planet looks like one, immense and immensely SAFE desert.

if this is true it is perhaps one of the most critical political moves ive ever heard of

whoever thought of it is a genious

analysis:
banning nature is absurd and reveals the true nature of drug laws. perhaps the only way to universally change society's perception on drugs
