TAdams Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Children with severe epilepsy will be the first to access to the drug in 2017, Victoria's Health Minister Jill Hennessy said, after the Access to Medicinal Cannabis Bill passed Parliament.The legislation enables the manufacture, supply and access to medicinal cannabis products in the state.full article here http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-12/victoria-becomes-first-state-to-legalise-medicinal-cannabis/7321152 That must be good news for those there who need it for these purposes.

FullCircle Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Way too slow. I guess any progress is good. But what about those of us who aren't children with epilepsy It's absurd that they deem it safe for children, yet adults can't use it for chronic disease management?

Green Reaper Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is just the first step along the way to a great celebration. Good on the Andrews Government for keeping their word and passing this legislation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MongyMan Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 This is a load of gov propaganda BS and not even close to legal medical cannabis. Read the article. It is trials only. Just more stalling while they hand medical cannabis to a TGA styled pharmaceutical industry. Good luck getting any legal Australian medical cannabis product within the next 10-15 yrs. Import only pharmaceutical cannabis is all this and the federal laws ensure. Don't be fooled. MongyMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Reaper Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yep just had a quick read of the billand it will only be able to be cultivated, manufactured and supplied by 'a licensed cultivator". Nothing in it for hippies other than another arse fuck. All these clowns are interested in is money. Fuck them! Cannabis is free and should always be free. What makes it right for "them" to profit from an otherwise illegal (for you and me) product? I think I'll go have a joint and relax, these fuckers are doing my head in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullCircle Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's all about $$ and Big Pharma. Nobody actually gives a shit about people's health. It's appalling. Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmokey1 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 i wonder how you apply for a "permit" to grow and how exactly you then proceed to the extracts etc its all somewhat vague.They should have all the process outlined before drafting legislation, not surprising they work backwards.Melbourne could do with a few medical outlet shops like they have in barcelona, you give your details pay $20 and away you go.
