Ripples and aftershocks continue in the wake of Operation Lime. A district court judge has thrown out the onerous and improvised bail conditions that forced Switched On Gardener stores to ID and record personal details from their customers.
Meantime, the last three issues of NORML News, copies of which were seized in the numerous raids, have been sent to the Office of Film and Literature Classification. Crampton at Offsetting Behaviour is not happy.
The helpful people at the OFL advise me that a decision normally takes 8 - 10 weeks, and that they will notify me once deliberations are completed. For once, I'm looking forward to July.

I do hope that the Censor's office is reasonable. But from a purely me-utilitarian perspective, I'm not sure that outrage at the publication being banned isn't outweighed by the value of the increase in my coolness for having published in a now-banned outlet. As I'm very much on the left tail of the coolness distribution (White & Nerdy is my theme song), even small moves can have large marginal benefit. :>
