To the Court
In the matter of Leslie McDonald the Defendant states:-
I Leslie Ernest McDonald, founder of Bebuybac The Concerned Australians, request this Honorable Court to consider the reasons for violating the Drugs Poisons and controlled Substance Act 9719/1981, this being done with in the best interest and future well-being of the people of Victoria in mind
as to assure and uphold the peoples faith in the integrity of the Court's.
as in the best interest health and future wellbeing of the people of Victoria,
as to lift the unnecessary burden placed on the people of Victoria.
as show the current cannabis laws hinder today's society needs and demands. and has caused a division amongst the people of Victoria
as to curtail the growing public cost in cannabis prohibition
and as to question the Victorian Governments intentions and accountability
As to show cause and reasons, I offer the following:-
The Victorian Parliament amended the Drugs Poisons and Controlled Substance Act 1981. and included Cannabis along side Heroin and Cocaine. Note, that the Australian Government Department of Health and Aging, National Drug Strategy Monograph Series N0. 25 S. 4.1 Cannabis the drug. States that "Cannabis has been erroneously classified as a narcotic"
(annexed Marked 1 page copy National Drug Strategy)
In brief, doubt raised over Cannabis laws at the Federal Level
It was brought to attention (1975) that the laws concerning Cannabis were only formatted at the international level, Some Years later the former Minister for Foreign Affairs The Hon Garth Evans confirmed the fact, he also made in known that the laws surround cannabis had not complied with the Australian Constitution added to this Mr. Justice Kirby (The Age 2nd December 1991) "Judge queries drug prohibition " Mr. Justice ...said Australian drug laws and policies had developed more as a response to international pressure ...prohibition had come to dominate Australian drug laws and policy, while alternative regulatory policy had never been seriously considered (annexed Marked 2 letter 13th December 1991)
During 1996 the Kennett Goverment formed the Primers Drug Advisory Council Chairman Professor David Pennington, 31st May, his report was presented to Parlaiment, which recomended that in part 7:-
7.1 Use and possession of small amounts of marijuana should no longer be an offense "small quantity" should be defined as no more then 25 grams (half the amount currently specified in the ACT)
7.2 Cultivation of up to five cannabis plants household for personal use should no longer be an offence.
Continued to 7.3-7.12 (annexed herewith Marked 3 retyped copy 7.1-7.5)

Dear Minister,
Re: Accountability of Government
We acknowledge the correspondence 16 January 2008 Gill Callister on your behalf, which we feel has not addressed the matters in a reasonable or satisfactory manner,
Please find enclosed herewith copies of letters dated:-
8th August 1992 To Health Department Victoria, (2 pages)
4th September 1992 From Health Department Victoria
You will note, a request for any evidence whatsoever that supports Cannabis Prohibition, and questions that need to be addressed, in the best interest of the people of Victoria,
As to clearly illustrate our concerns, and for your convenience, also enclosed a copy of our letters to the former Premier the Hon. Joan Kirner dated:-
13th December 1991, to the Premier to the Hon. Joan Kirner, Which included, Judge Justice Kirby call for a review of Australian Drugs Laws. (ref: Age 2nd December 1991)
17th November, 1991 Premier to the Hon. Joan Kirner, "Marijuana Still a burning Issue."
We appreciate that the Victorian Government has changed several times, and these letters date from the last century, yet the situation remains the same today, Considering the Premiers Drug Advisory, Chairman, David Penington Report, 1996, also the fact we brought to the attention of the Department of Mental Heath (1996) that indoor hydroponics grown cannabis may have a some mental effect on the user.
On your behalf Gill Callister Executive Director Mental Health and Drug Division, letter makes mention of Minister Pike's letter of 7 February 2006 " ..acknowledges the increasing evidence about the potential for cannabis to have physical and psychological outcomes.." Contemplating the years past and the amount of correspondence/ documents we forwarded to the Department, It would be with in reason to assume Gill Callister has relied on our research to support "increasing evidence" a link between cannabis smoking and mental health disorder.
We find it very disturbing, if not misleading, that Gill Callister, offers no critique between organic grown cannabis and hydroponics grown cannabis. It now appears that, The present Victorian Government is knowingly, causing a mental heath risk on the people of Victorian, by failing to reconsider the recommendation 7.1-7.5 of Professor David Penington report.
Intern, more Victorian citizens are forced to use hydroponics grown cannabis. We ask again is there any evidence on hand that supports cannabis prohibition? also Can you let us know if Gill Callister is a member or former member of the Legal Profession?..Conflict of Interest

Prime Minister of Australia

Parliament House Monday 10th December 2007 Canberra ACT 2600
Dear Prime Minister,
Firstly, Congratulations on being elected as The Prime Minister of Australia.
Secondly, Please find enclosed herewith a copy of our letter to the former Prime Minister John Howard, dated 9th February 2006, as it appears he was using his influence on other state Minister's in taking a tougher line on marijuana consumption. With respect, we request to direct all the states leaders to consider coming in line the ACT legislation regarding marijuana. As prohibition has caused an unnecessary burden on the people of Australia..
We were disappointed in the response that we had received from Minister's acting on behalf of Mr. Howard, and shocked to learn that the Government,(15 May 2006).agreed to develop the National Cannabis Strategy 2006-2009 Openly stating this National Strategy, as the first of its kind in Australia. We point out we have been involved in Cannabis reform since 1975, and have filed our concerns by way of submissions and letters to various Governments over many years. which leaves open to questions true meaning of "the first of it kind in Australia"
In the mid 90s Government reports suggested that 82% of Australia population age over 14 had used Cannabis, according to the NCS this " has fallen since 1998, the latest household survey indicated that 5.5 million people over the age of 14 have tried cannabis at least once during their lives. Considering that just over 13 Million vote at the last election, We feel NCS may have disadvantage Mr Howard and his colleagues, It well may have been the case.
It may be of interest to note that, The Victorian Government's drug reform strategy "Turning the tide' page 18 states that "A recent analysis by Access Economics estimates that spending on illegal drugs in Australia amounts to $7 Billion per year,... Seventy per cent of the spending on illegal drugs is on cannabis" . Surely this money can be spent on more worthwhile things?
After you have perused the National Cannabis Strategy 2006-2009, it may become apparent that it's nothing more then rehashing old issues surrounding cannabis use, it offers no evidence whatsoever that supports cannabis prohibition. Members of the legal profession receive Hugh financial gains, and are the only real winners of the cannabis never ending debate..
We humbly request, If you see fit to do so, with the Australian public's best interest and future well-fare in mind, To recommend to the Cabinet to consider abolishing the National Cannabis Strategy 2006-2009. as to lift the uneccasary burden placed on the people of Victoria, and saving the tax payer many Millions of Dollars.
We would appreciate notice of your intention,

Dear President, Peter Bell.
We write regarding the ALF Players social welfare and the influence of the Australia Sports Drug Agency has over them. The World Anti-Doping Agency, (WADA ) instigated in USA has control over Australian Sports Drug Agency (ASDA) Intern, oversees nearly all sport in Australia, and are committed to the International Standard. Prohibited List 2006. The ASDA is not required to do its own research into the affects of drugs in Australian sport.
WADA, Prohibited List 2006, has included Cannabis, The Australian Government Department of Health, "National Drug Strategy" states "Cannabis has been erroneously classified as a narcotic," Now to include cannabis in the list, must cast a shadow doubt over the ability of WADA, and ASDA to distinguish the difference between the two.
Considering all the prohibited substances listed under the WADA code, Cannabis is the only substance that can be transmitted to another person, resulting in that person showing a positive test to Marijuana. Passive smoking has been proven to display a positive drug test.
We don't wish to appear as being vindictive towards the ASDA, However we are deeply concerned that they may have overlooked the social well-being of many AFL players. (i.e.)
Young .Natham (1) living at home with his Parents whom consume cannabis while watching T.V ,(2) at his friends place that also use cannabis, (3) driving his mate's to the footy, whom also smoke cannabis. Natham is required to give a saliva swap, which showed a positive test on three different occasions to Marijuana. Although the evidence is very strong, Natham, non user of cannabis, takes legal action to clear his name and reputation, engages a solicitor, who instructs a Barrister, that consult a highly respected, QC. to act on Nathham's behalf. After several time consuming and costly court appearances, Natham, (may be) cleared, as the cause of the positive test was due to inhaling passive (cannabis) smoke. Natham only used 90% of his total AFL player income over two season, to pay for his legal defence team. His only regret being wrongly disqualified from playing in his teams Grand Final win, every AFL players dream/goal.
The AFL its self, has a roll in protecting the rights and welfare of the youthful recruits, in making sure they fully understand the detailed issues of the agreement, the consequences of being a roll mode, the curtailing of their lawful civil rights. The AFL must also assure that the players code, has not and does not place an unnecessary burden on the players welfare.
We feel it would be in the best interest and welfare of all AFL players and clubs, if the WADA Prohibited list 2006, was amend and as in part prohibited in-competition S8. Cannabinoids be deleted completely. As you may not be aware cannabis is not a performances enhancing drug..... Accountability for all
Yours in good faith

Re: "Age' Footy drugs testing finds 15 under the influence
It is of great concern that all AFL players are subjected to The Australia Sports Drug Agency, out -of- competition testing system, which includes Marijuana.
Marijuana is a prohibited substance listed under ASDA in 2006 maintained by WADA. This must leave open to question the real motive behind both ASDA and WADA Marijuana, is not a performance-enhancing substance, in fact, reduces performance levels of the user.
Considering the Millions of Australians that consume Marijuana regally, we can only assume that some AFL players are included in the numbers. The herb cannabis, for hundreds of years has been used for various ailments effecting the human race, Queen Victoria used the herb to relive minstrel pain. O'shaugnessy introduced cannabis to British medicine in the mid-nineteen century, Nahas 1n 1984 recommended its use for the relief of pain , muscle spasm, and convulsions occurring in tetanus, rabies, rheumatism and epilepsy. Others to numinous to mention (Ref. A.G.D.H. and Ageing, Series. 25)
Cannabis was used as beverage or food additive such, in cakes, biscuits, by a small part our society. By the 1970 "pot" use had increased, 1975 it retailed (home grown) at the astonishing of price $30 per ounce, this price forced many consumers to smoke "pot" for their recreational comforts, avoiding the social effects of alcohol =destruction=violence=death.
.
We note from ASDA substance prohibited in particular sports alcohol is prohibited, in-competition only, being not over i.e. Aeronautic, (0.20) Archery, (0.10) Automobile, (0.10) Billiards, (0.20) Boules, (0.10) Karat (0.10) Modern Pentathlon, (0.10) Motorcycling (0.10) Power-boating (0.30). AFL players, in-competition have no limits on alcohol
Many young AFL players live at home with their parents, watching TV .in an enclosed the space his parents may smoke Marijuana, resulting in the young player showing a positive test to Marijuana, up till seven days after inhaling "passive smoke" I have enclosed herewith cut-out from the Melbourne "AGE" "Boxer set for final drug ban appeal ..".he was with relatives who were smoking marijuana, and that this caused his positive test"..
We feel that all AFL clubs should but the players social welfare at the forefront, It would be with in reason to request the ASDA and WADA to show cause and reason (the evidence)' why Marijuana is to remain in prohibited list 2006. . ... Accountability, a must for all.
We all need, Straight answer to a Straight question

Dear Cath Peachey,
I acknowledge your letter of 18 June 2007, being in reply to our letter of 4 May 2007 to the Minister for Health and Age, the Hon. Tony Abbott MP. which included our letter of 9th February 2007 to the Prime Minister John Howard, As to ensure that issues receive the attention they deserve, the Prime Minister referred our correspondence to the Minister for Healthy and Ageing, the Hon. Tony Abbott MP for further consideration given that he is responsible for the development of policy on health issues.
It now appears that this matter falls within the portfolio responsibility of the Minister for Ageing the Hon. Christopher Pyne MP. We appreciate the effort you have gone to in explaining that cannabis is an illegal drug, and that the Government is committed $14 million over four years from 2006-07 for cannabis related projects.
The last paragraph of your letter states "You may... consider contacting the Victorian Minister for Health, the Hon. Bronwyn Pike..." which raises concern and doubt, leaving open to question whether or not you have received a copy of our letter 9th February 2007 to the Prime Minister John Howard, as it makes clear mention of the correspondence to the Victorian Minister for Health, the Hon. Bronwyn Pike...Something is wrong?
As to help clarify the situation,
I now ask, have you perused the letter to the Prime Minister John Howard, dated 9th February 2007, being enclosed with our letter of 4 May 2007 to the Minister for Health and Age, the Hon. Tony Abbott MP.
We don't wish to appear as being ungrateful, but now you may well understand the reason for our disappointment in the response so far received, the issues have not been addressed in a proper, responsible manner... Accountabilty is now a must.
I also take this opportunity to ask you a personal question, Are you a member or former member of the Legal Profession?
I thank you
