The HEMP (Help End Marijuana Prohibition) Party is again registered to run in the next federal election. However, HEMP is not re-registered in NSW yet, but wish to advise our members on how to cast their vote. Since the last NSW election, the federal government has introduced legislation to provide Cannabis for medical purposes ( about 3000 people now legally have access, its very expensive and you are not allowed to drive ). Also our government has finally recognised the nutritional value of Cannabis seeds for human consumption and legalised it. Canada has introduced a regulated market for recreational use of the herb. The state of California, after twenty years of medic…

The HEMP Party is overjoyed with the decision of a Jury at the Downing Centre District Court who found Dr Andrew Katelaris Not Guilty of all charges in relation to the supply of medical cannabis to patients, including critically ill children. HEMP Party President Michael Balderstone said, “This decision has been a long time coming for the courageous good Doctor. We’re seeing the Courts ignore the strict rule of law of cannabis when it comes to its medical use. Dr Katelaris has put his life into bringing to light the potential of healing with Cannabis and it’s heartening to see him finally get some success.” The momentous court ruling is a strategic win for medical cannabi…

HEMP has bolstered the call of ‘FAIL’ by other Medical Cannabis (MC) advocacy groups around the nation, in response to federal health minister Greg Hunt’s announcement that Australia has legalised MC. http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/bent-laws1.jpg In reality, the legislation will bend some laws to allow a foreign company to export a small amount of Cannabis into Australia so that another company can distribute it under the strictest of conditions to a very limited number of patients around the nation. HEMP Party secretary Andrew Kavasilas is calling for fresh thinking on the subject. “I believe the Australian government is being dragged kicking …

The HEMP Party and the Nimbin HEMP Embassy are revelling in additional Cannabis law reforms, this time in relation to hemp seed now legally grown in Australia and available for human consumption in Australia. To mark this nutritionally historic occasion, the Nimbin HEMP Embassy will be offering free samples of hemp seed and hemp seed oil and tasting all this month. Andrew Kavasilas, HEMP Party Secretary and founder of the Nimbin based hemp company Vitahemp said, “It’s a watershed moment on many fronts. Hemp seeds nutritional qualities are unparalleled so we’ll have a truly healthy food finally available with new farming opportunities including access to an international m…

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/healthier2-730x382.jpg During the last few years there has been a dramatic reversal in the legal status of Cannabis around the world.For decades classified as an addictive substance with no medical uses Cannabis is now being applied effectively to relieve symptoms of serious diseases including epilepsy, neuropathic pain and cancer. The benefits in providing relief without side effects where all allopathic drugs have failed is very obvious to patients and their carers, so the question must be asked as to why this healing substance was demonised and banned for decades in the first place. The global prohibition of Can…

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ice-or-culture.jpg Whoever decided the main weapon in the NSW war on ice is to be a trebling of roadside saliva testing may actually be encouraging its use. I’ve always been a big believer in forgiveness, as ‘they know not what they do’, but that’s hardly good enough in these never been seen before times when knowledge is at everyone’s fingertips. Anyone involved in this war on (some) drugs must have heard by now that Cannabis stays in your blood for weeks or even months after inhaling because it is fat soluble, unlike all other illegals. For the police hunting scalps on the north coast, and especially the roads in…

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/interim-measures-hemp-party.jpg Options for the development of Interim MeasuresWe are seeking genuine government assistance, with the help of appropriate policy makers and advisory input to develop a detailed policy option for presentation to the International Narcotic Control Board (INCB) on behalf of the Australian people. The current confusion, pace and uncertainty surrounding the use of Cannabis for medical purposes has perplexed the most intelligent researchers, proponents, politicians, patients, carers and families too. In the early 2000’s, the New South Wales Carr Government sought to deliver a meaningful me…

The new coalition of Cannawarriors had a successful trip to Canberra for the first day of Parliament, with four Senators addressing the rally, advocating for full legalisation of Cannabis. Senator David Leyonhjelm reminded the crowd of around 200 supporters, that he had been the only political supporter of full legalisation until recently and advised the rally goers that they should continue to “push”. A theme that ran thru the advice of all the Senators came down and talked to the crowd. One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson and Qld One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts also spoke. Pauline was adament once she decides to support an injustice she will stick with us to the end. Th…

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/nimbin-raid-2016-6-b.jpg “It’s hard to not think the massive police raids in Nimbin today aren’t at least a bit political. I remember raids here before in the week before an election. Big Pharma has been under attack from quite a few candidates in this election and not just the HEMP Party which is based here in Nimbin. The Health Party, Sex Party, Drug Law Reform Party, just to name a few,” said Michael Balderstone, President of the HEMP Party and the WA Senate candidate. The HEMP Party is running candidates across Australia and in many states has a joint ticket with the Sex Party. “I think the public is waking up …

Medical Cannabis is currently being discussed all over the country in high places and behind very closed doors. Not only by stoners but by people in suits who are popping out some weird ideas. Like Queensland doctors have been warned not to prescribe “the strongest forms” (THC) of Cannabis to anyone under 25 years old. They also warned doctors will bear full responsibility for medical Cannabis they prescribe and emphasised that medican products are untested and their safety and efficacy are unknown. Trying hard to scare doctors away or what?http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/alternative-fact-1-720x376.jpg There’s no training in Cannabis organised …

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/peace-of-mind-13-720x376.jpg In the wake of another medical Cannabis supplier raid, HEMP Party president Michael Balderstone said, “The government has overstepped the mark this time on medical Cannabis and poked a hornets nest in South Australia. People are furious about the Jenny Hallam raid.” Not only has the medicine been taken but the police report is deceptive saying they confiscated Cannabis and chemicals. There were no chemicals taken. The HEMP Party has long asserted the situation is now ridiculous for medical Cannabis users with calls on the Governments to agree, discuss and establish interim measures to …

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Cannabis-crops-face-more-hurdles.jpg There’s been a lot of talk lately about the use of medical Cannabis in Australia, and “progress” in relation to its availability. The Narcotics Act has been amended, and various cannabinoids have been re-scheduled. State governments appear to be on board, with the medical profession wanting products to be developed and clinically trialed before they can be prescribed. I’ve attended several meetings with Australia’s new Office of Drug Control (ODC) and our brand new drug tsar Bill Turner. Over the past few months the ODC has invited hundred of Australian companies, stakeholders a…

http://australianhempparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/fair-square-blame1.jpg In a first since new Senate voting reforms were passed, an Australian political party has issued a direct challenge to the Australian Electoral Commission inviting a prosecution. Sex Party President and Victorian Upper House member, Fiona Patten, has written to Senator Mathias Cormann, the Minister responsible for the Electoral Commission, inviting him to initiate proceedings over her party’s decision in the Northern Territory to recommend its supporters “Just Vote 1” above the line. There are only seven parties running for the two Senate spots in the Northern Territory. Apart from the three …

In order to treat her terminal cancer In 2013 Tanya Hill was a healthy 66-year-old Clinical Nurse Specialist happily working in her chosen profession as a flight nurse with NSW Air Ambulance. How then does a working 45-year career nurse serving will full access to both the latest information and the best practitioners get told that her diagnosis of cardiac angiosarcoma, an extremely rare form of heart cancer is untreatable and there is nothing that can be done – have to go underground and source her own medicine that ends up extending her life 400% beyond expectations and in the process eliminate more than 90% of the expected pain and suffering in the process? http://aust…
