What do you mean that you aren't "hanged for possession of marijuana". Are you killed in some other fashion? Or is it legal to carry small amounts or even grow legally? This IS getting interesting now....

See above re the Road Trains...
We dont get killed for possession of marijuana...nor do we go to prison most times!!! Possession of less than 5 grams warrants confiscation in most cases, and if you are an unlucky bastard you'll get put on probabtion (ie: it goes on your record). I think being caught with over thirty grams constitutes possession with intent to traffic - that's when you are in the shit!
Oh and from memory growing marijuana for personal use is ok too, something like up to 5 marijuana plants is ok.
Anyone from Oz, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
P.S. Gum is called "chewie" almost everywhere (as in CHEWing gum), bikini tops are VERY optional on some beaches and compulsory on others and it is bloody HOT over Christmas!!!
