Great to hear that (Health) Minister Robin Adams has been able to get her vision for Norfolk Island into the Medical Canna arena, not quite sure this is what she had in mind though.

 

"...It intends to export its entire first crop to Canada by the middle of next year."

"It will supply the Sativa and Sativa-dominant strains, which are unsuitable for growing in Canada's indoor facilities"

 

""We can feasibly expect this will become a multi-million dollar export industry by 2016."

I had been wondering what would happen with Norfolk Islands Cannabis aspirations since hearing that Norfolk Island will no longer be self governed. I imagine this change will dent those aspirations but that still remains to be seen.

I reckon that's such double standard bullshit, yes it's a step in the right direction, but how can they deny use here and grow it at the same time.
