legal Canadian med cannabis user traveling to Aus

[ehnewday]

Hello! I'm a legal Canadian medical marijuana user/grower from British Columbia

 

I'm going to be traveling to Aus in November and would like to make some pro marijuana friends who can answer some questions/help me out during my visit...

 

Sorry if this is the wrong board to post this in. Feel free to message me, thanks!

Oh man, so it's true... that's brutal! 

Yes, that is what we mean when we say "Cannabis is illegal in all states and territories of Australia".

oh sorry merls I though that's what you ment ... getting a bit confused sorry x)

Yeah there are I suppose what you guys would call "Head Shops" over there? but no actual places to buy cannabis from legally

[ehnewday]

This is all so fascinating! Thank you all for the replies. Perth is in the west yeah? I heard of a little village called nimbin, being sort of like an alternative little hippie town. Is it worth a visit?

[merl1n]

Nah, you're all right TSJ.

I just know that in parts of Canadia its a bit like parts of the states where there are Smoke shops where you can buy smoke compared to Bong shops, where you can't

And I didn't want to confuse Ehnewday with ideas that we had ANY smoke shops ANYWHERE in Oz (even Nimbin)

Sure you maybe able to walk down the street in Nimbin and find 'something' to smoke, but is it worth it in Nimbin? Personally, for smoko I'd say 'no'. Great little place to go back in time, bit of a timewarp But its like the locals know tourists and cityslickers come looking and they can get rid of their crap. They keep all the good smoke for themselves.

IMHO you'd be better off going to the local pub, havin a beer and a chat than goin to Nimbin for smoko. But again that's my personal opinion

Yeah I was going to say there are a few in perth, one down at the local gosnels markets that I go to all the time.

 

but yes they are a dying breed, Australia is really fucked when it comes to cannabis.

And smoke mart

[c0bblep0t]

You had me at Australia's really fucked

[ehnewday]

I'll have to remember to pack the flavored cigars and head straight to the pub then

 

That's a shame the government sees a medical herb as such a harsh drug. It defiantly helps me with going about on my daily tasks a lot better than taking pain killers.... Thanks for all the heads up!
