Nimbin Hemp Embassy Busted

Hi all
I posted a link to this in my greeting post, but figured it was more appropriate here.
To help understand the draconian laws we have here in Australia, read how it took 50 cops to bust a shop in Nimbin:

Contrary to popular belief, we have no 'prescription' cannabis here, and the laws in states that some people believe make cannabis legal are actually laws that provide for on the spot fines to save police paerwork and court time.

That does suck, but the laws are still better I think than most of the laws in the US or GB. That place could never have been allowed to exist in the US or GB.
