Hi guys for those that don't already know, Greens Senator Richard Di Natale will be introducing a medical cannabis bill to the parliment tomorrow. One thing he has made very clear to us is that many politicians are totally blind to the fact that cannabis has legitimate medical uses and for this bill to have any chance of passing people need to be contacting the,Senators, local members and other state and federal members of parliment letting them know cannabis DOES have legitimate medical uses and urging them to support this Bill. What can you do you ask.... One thing you can do is copy and email the letter below to all or any of the Senators from the link at the end…

A well-written article on Medical Cannabis in Australia: the article is NOT per-reviewed, it is only an opinion https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2015/202/2/medical-cannabis-time-clear-thinking The debate about the medical use of cannabis in Australia has become confused with the proposal for a formal clinical trial instead of proceeding to legislation in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. Debates about prohibition of cannabis have a long history,1 as has the proposal for medical cannabis in Australia.2 Politicians are nervous about being “soft on drugs”, especially before an election. The clinical trial proposed, if successful, presumes that…

Or alternatively, what is your best counter argument? See the thing is that cannabis has so many good arguments but what I have discovered is that there are not really that many intelligent or powerful arguments against it, if many at all. Most good defenders of prohibition will tell you the usual crap that can be argued away quite easily e.g..... 'it's a gateway drug' uhhh no it's not, there is no science to prove it and it is only perceived this way because the same dealer that sells your kids pot can also get 'other stuff' just the same as the bottle shop can sell you smokes. There is absolutely no scientific validation just like there is no scientific validation t…

Who are fellow Victorians voting for in the upcoming state elections and are you voting with cannabis policy on your mind? I will likely vote for the Sex party in the upper house and vote labor for lower.

Mason Tvert is argubaly the person who has done the most for cannabis legislation in the USA. At least recently. Some might say he was in the right place at the right time while others may say plenty of others did the heavy hauling before him and he is simply the face at the end that potted the ball in the hole. Either way, it's undeniable he has done a lot and has been a very important lobbyist. That begs the question. Who is Australia's Mason Tvert?
