MILLIONS OF AUSTRALIANS WILL SOON BE BREAKING THE LAW BY HAVING WATTLE TREES GROWING IN THEIR GARDEN. A bill before the NSW parliament this week will make it illegal to possess or sell any live plant that contains mescaline, harmaline, DMT, ephedrine, cathinone or structural analogues. More than half the cactus and wattle species contain such compounds in trace amounts, but the law makes no distinction between trace amounts and usable drug amounts." Basically, thousands of garden plants including all types of herbs, collectible cacti and wattle trees- including the national floral emblem- will become illegal to grow in your garden. What are they going to do, go around forcing millions of people to hack up their lovingly tended gardens and natural bush blocks? Are they going to remove every single wattle species on GOVERNMENT land first???????

The bill has already had its first reading and is moving to second reading in the next few days. This will be law by the end of this month unless a lot of people make a lot of noise. Any letter writing should now go to local state members or to the sponsor of the bill, the Minister for Fair Trading. Please also contact the NSW Attorney General to voice your concern.
