Years go when the internet was still young and in the middle of its dot com "crash" there used to be a cool web based cannabis game for smuggling and selling that was fun to play occasionally (long gone) and I'm sure many of you out there remember the High Grow simulator too... anyways its those memories and nostalgia that are the reason I decided to create the game Bud Run just for fun and with a nod to the original OZ Stoners colours. Enjoy and have fun report any bugs you find in this thread. 🙏 https://budrun.ozstoners.com

PGRs vs. PGRs - It’s Not All Bad Diving into Australia's cannabis cultivation, "Plant Growth Regulators" (PGRs) have stirred debates for decades. While PGRs, both synthetic and natural, influence plant growth patterns, their impact varies. Synthetic PGRs, with the allure of boosted yields, have sparked health and quality concerns, while nature’s own PGRs maintain the plant's essence and medicinal integrity. The Australian cannabis scene has evolved over time, from a surge of PGR usage in the early 2000s, often compromising quality, to a more recent decline driven by informed consumer choices. Navigating this terrain requires an understanding of the nuances, as the wo…

Hello, Oz! In recent times, the global scene has been abuzz with discussions and changes around cannabis legalisation. Australia, with its unique societal fabric and policies, hasn't been on the sidelines. From Canberra's brave steps to the larger economic and social implications of cannabis, it’s time we do a deep dive into this multifaceted issue. Cannabis and Australia's Economy: Digging Deeper into the Dollars Every year, Australia allocates a hefty sum to police cannabis. How hefty, you ask? Try a mind-boggling $300 million.

Hi OzStoners! I'm a honours student at Monash University (Australia) currently running a research project investigating the associations between Cannabis use, motivations of cannabis use, and affect (i.e. your feelings/mood) following use. I'm hoping to find anyone interested in participating in cannabis research and being paid for their time. Study Background: Past research has shown that while cannabis use in itself is thought to be relatively harmless, specific patterns of use have been associated with a range of poorer outcomes such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Research into why people use cannabis, and their daily mood patterns around use, will allow us to…
