	Marijuana - Drug information from Medic8.com
		The psychoactive drug cannabis, with many nicknames (some pertaining to certain plant breeds and preparations), is produced from parts of the cannabis plant, primarily the cured flowers and gathered trichomes of the female plant, as well as the less psychoactive remains of the plant, and its highly psychoactive resin.
		A common belief holds that smoking cannabis leads to a large amount of the active compounds being lost in the exhaled smoke or simply decomposing on burning, whereas ingested cannabis results in 100% consumption of the active compounds, an assertion which cannot be confirmed without objective analysis.
		When subjects using only cannabis were combined in the same sample with subjects using other drugs as well, researchers could not reach a conclusion as to whether their findings were caused by cannabis, other drugs, or the interaction between them.

	The Religion of Jesus Church - The Holy Herb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Sacramental use of Cannabis is a common element in the Hebrew religious traditions; so the modern understanding of the day-to-day lifestyle of the first century AD is incomplete without considering the religious, medicinal and industrial use of the hemp plant common to the peoples of the time.
		Because Cannabis is a principal ingredient in the Hebrew holy anointing oil, this usage signifies that Cannabis is a Sacrament because it is of sacred character, and having been used as a device to render the altar and the tabernacle and the Ark holy, it must be considered holy indeed.
		It was used by the Hindus, the Buddhist, the Taoist, the Shinto, the Moslems and the Zoroastrian religions.

		With the formation of the new Labour-led Government in October, the cannabis legal status is again a ‘balance of power' issue in NZ.

		Cannabis users, if unlucky enough to be caught, can face serious consequeces from a conviction, and NZ is convicting up to 20,000 people a year for this 'victimless crime'...
