Should be legal to grow our own for medical and recreational purposes.
The idea that a bunch of companies can capitalize off of peoples consumption while prohibiting home growing is a corporate/political scam.
Legalize it!
it shouldn't even be a topic we have to talk about. it's a personal property issue and it's none of the governments god damned business
You have a point 🤔
People still will buy cause of the convince but yeah we should be allowed to grow
yes, on the condition that stoners get zero benefits of the state, its very rare for stoners to contribute anything of actual value
@@WillPreston3D yeah you're right. i'm sure you've achieved more than george washington or thomas jefferson. just to name two
large companies can setup everything so they are in the best position to make money from weed, but regular people cannot do it, why is it legal for them and not for all..
Controlled supply and demand
Look at Tobacco, you can buy and smoke it but don’t get caught growing it....
Because its a foreign corporation posing as government.
Yes that’s what I’m trying to work out
Great question Marsh.
Marijuana is still a class 1 drug in NSW ...The govt would prefer that you stick to Cigarettes and Alcohol.
marijuana should be legal it has so many medicinal properties and personal use should not be a crime nor should we have to pay companies for it when we could grow our own
Yes to everything and then double that
Legalize it. This is what state authority can do to a simple beneficial crop.
BTW, I have seen my grandpa smoke marijuana each day when I was a child in hills of my country, Nepal.
He was damn hard working man. I dont know why be people think that everybody would just keep on being stoned if marijuana was legalized.
I work managing a program for 40 hours a week and earn a great wage. In the evenings I relax with a joint like others would relax with a glass of wine. I’m a productive member of society who pays taxes and believes in contributing to my community. Why shouldn’t I be able to access an alternative to alcohol which kills so many people, causes so much disease, and exacerbated so many social issues? Time to make it legal, make it commercial, tax it by all means, and put that tax money towards bettering our society.
@@mischamaelstrom6935 I vote for your vision✌🏻
Because they most do,
@@mischamaelstrom6935 good on you.. want a medal...
i have a terminal disease, life yes life leads to fatalities like death, I need to smoke heaps of good buds. That would make me feel a lot better. LEGALIZE IT.
Keep choofin cones. Government is real ‘dopes’
Hare krsna
Love the way the guy looks down, closes his eyes, shakes his head and says there is no truth to the allegations of making a death threat.
@Formosan I might be wrong, but amused at least. Lol
Yeah the body language tells all. He’s a complete liar and I stopped watching there lol
AUS is so far behind.
yeah brah
Seriously. Loos like they struggle to grow mids
just wasting time tryna maximise their profits off the public
Australia is on par. its just that the government is holding it until their buddies own it. in othercountries it was a free for all, open market for a while until gov controled it. in aus they keep you on the leash
Loser.
They do not let people with knowledge or experience into this business? I wonder if all other organizations follow this practice. I love how these doctors are afraid of Recreational Marijuana, and the United States has to stick it's foot into everyone's business.
Yeah, those FDA dudes know nothing about Science....
It's all about the profit nothing else.
Just legalize it. Don't regulate it so heavily. Plus, get large corporations out of it.
Australia will legalise it once we see all the money other countries are making.
And get ready for $300+ ounces.
@@DV-zv4ox ....i already pay 300 for ounces... if its a smorgasboard with proper strains, id gladly pay 3 hunjy!
Still waiting for them to look at the US and Canada, how long do these wankers need?
Australia can see & has seen the money to be made from cannabis that's why they EXPORT it instead of looking after Australia & it's sick...
As long as they allow home growing like the ACT has.
I’ve got a prescription for depression. The price makes me more depressed lol.
It will do nothing to actually treat your depression, it merely covers some symptoms. It's not the quick fix people think.
Gross. Watch as this becomes the next big corporate thing. Big sugar, big tobacco, Big alcohol, the list just goes on.....
Decriminalise it and encourage local growers.. legalisation is for corporations to make money.. why do you need to spend millions for a plant that grows for free.. Canada is way ahead..
Yet another commodity the corporates want to get their hands on to make juicy profits. Why can’t we the people be motivated by helping humans rather than being more concerned about bank balance? Can the laws change based on our soul desire to be happier and healthier rather than richer materialists? This plant has been “trialled and tested” for millennia but we still need research labs to tells us officially that it’s good for us?
N Copple yes. That’s how the world works.
CryptoAUBS well with an answer like that, your clearly just another worm that accepts the system as it is. In one hole and out the other.
@@captainAUBS that's how corruption works buddy not the world ... look at amsterdam
Sounds like a bunch of socialists in this thread.
Who gives a shit, what money's made, you didn't care when you supplied the arsehole drug dealer up the chain who probably grew it in a converted with illegal immigrants looking after it all, so why care now ?.
Because it suits your invalid agenda.
Also you clearly don't understand how proper research works with that last passage, which just only shows your arrogance.
This shite is embarrassing to that properly educated in the Cannabis industry.
@Nathan gamezio well that's a bit if a oxymoron.
How come if the are unskilled, they are able to run a business, while you sit online and complain 🤔
Seems like jealousy more than anything.
5:40 Whats that mate? you've got a lifetime of experience growing the stuff and are really passionate about the medicinal industry and want to know how to get involved to help people... Not on my watch hippy. Common sense is lost in the government
Big joke lol. And when people ask their doctor about it.. they have no idea where to get it! The illegal growers will be supplying the medical market for a while here in oz im thinking
good stock advice, currently low prices on Australian cannabis growers, all it takes is a big politcal movement and regulation change and the prices will skyrocket
yeah, let me just export some shwag to california from australia, said noone ever.
I have major issues with anxiety and medication just doesn’t seem to work for me. I just wish that some day soon the government would pull their head in and allow this amazing plant to be legal rather than criminalising it.
They are dogheads. Jealous we don’t need their nagging ugliness on our TV sets nightly threatening our existence for ignoring their piggery(government in case I lost you in all my schiz about legalising 4000 year old incredible “weed”). (Packs cone after this last sentence )
Marijuana will not fix your anxiety, it may seem to remedy some symptoms but eventually will only mask your pain and most likely increase it with long term use. The most effective way to deal with anxiety is to do the hard work, mentally.
What shocks me more than the cannabis debate, is the ABC is taking comments.
You'd think with that cash he can get the bird bath cleaned
BlackShampoo Na-ahh - bigger fish to fry mate! Hope he's outa NZ now..
Wake up Australia , we need to regulate it correctly so those in need of pain relief etc, can get Fast access, to cheap, high quality cannibus.
The current wait time is ridiculous (8-12 months). Not to mention the price( 1200$-1800$ a month). Come on Australia 🇦🇺 step up!!
Just learn to grow your own
That's because every recreational drug user in the country is suddenly sick and inundating the select doctors that can distribute it
@@2partiesnotpreferred226 you like to encourage people to break the law, facing penalties. You must be very proud of yourself
Ganja is a gift. We should see it for what it is. I'm disabled from Lupus, CFS, Fybromyalgia, Narcolepsy, Arthritis, Stomach problems. Weed makes me able to function. I am a good person who doesn't want to break the law. Please, help people like me. Put it on the PBS so I can function as a normal person, I need higher Sativa and some Indica but can't smoke it and can't afford to bake it. Let's be open minded, c'mon, Australia, please.
It was put on this earth as a natural cure .....
I guess that applies to opium, morphine and codeine then.
Let's justify our drug use because it's a plant and "natural"
@@Mr_Makina of course it applies to them as well. They too are the reason we have developed so many types of pain medications that can be used in chronic patients. Plus, codeine and morphine themselves are actually considered weak compared to far more potent synthetic and semi synthetic opioids that are in use and problematic today.
anyone know the name of the song in the background in the beginning hahha?
if you want to know if it works for insomnia just ask people like me who have used it for 30 plus years for my anxiety and insomnia
and the answer? does it help? i suffer from anxiety
jtspiky Yes I too have smoked it for almost 30 years 👌
Only indica dominant strains work for anxiety. Sativas make my anxiety worse
@@DV-zv4ox it's Genuinely makes Zero difference, when you grow, you'll realise the difference is unnoticeable... It's a placebo effect
the màkina grower rubbish, there is a definite difference.
And he made his millions with politicians in his back pocket.
Criminal convictions should be wiped and let those that have always had a passion for the plant run the industry.
But they make laws that only allow rich people to get into it, they didn't care until they saw the $
its seems the govt ,big fish, rich corporations want to control it .if you can make restrictions so supply is short make value is high thats what the big picture is. i think corporations should be restricted to not to monopolise with hemp ,to have more small business will spread the GDP more.
It's going to become like fish oil hahaha
I live in Perth Western Australia, and the Medical Marijuanais totally free of THC, making the CBD's a lot less potent, and this is because of the Mining Industry and Colin Barnetts Government at the time making it illegal to possess and grow... Set back my state 25 years, and it has not changed with any new government. Medical Marijuana is rediculously expensive, and not very potent. Even THAILAND understands that you need THC to get the CBD's to bind properly to your pain receptors.
But in my State... they will tell you the opposite, you cant have THC...
noooo why would you cut it down too early lmao
Legalise Cannabis Australia. Pensioners and low income cannot afford the exhorbitant pricing. Free cannabis for adult home grow, dispensaries and cafes for human rights and decriminalisation.
Yes. 👏👏👏
And where we now
nothing big is allowed to be private in Australia
Socialism at its finest, i want to make myself vomit and give myself an enema after hearing this videos bullshit
Casino industry started out honest apparently
Ha ha interviewer is a doppelganger!
So they will let you smoke, but not grow? I was afraid that was how they'd do California.
They will control the existence of certain strains soon, just ask Monsanto, they know how to do it.
Canberra has allowed home growing.
You cannot smoke it if you are a driver.
@@2partiesnotpreferred226 Canberra allows pornography, allows a few things no other state is allowed, that's why it's a hive of criminal activity. This Is about medical marijuana NOT recreational use. You do see a difference, don't you. I couldn't give a toss about stoners, they're boring,
And our government spends $26Bn on policing it while ignoring the possible revenue from taxation of premium products
I have one question to the Australian Government: How harmful is marijuana compared to alcohol and cigarettes? if you can answer its more harmful than those then i agree with the class 1 classification. But all i see it actually has more benefits than the two main things you guys are selling
They have more profits in those other things. That's why they probably won't allow home growing and the price will probably be more then the black market.
I hate the sleep studies' common way of doing things.
You're so covered in wires and tape and crap that itches that you can't sleep normally.
The one I went through: shit bed, so many things attached to me that I was itching all over (and forbidden to do so) and I could only stay on my back (I don't ever sleep on my back) and they put me to bed at 7:30 pm because most nurses were leaving after that.
I went in because of difficulties sleeping. I had no sleep that night, yet the doctor made conclusions about the night.
ive often thought of this... how the fuck are you going to sleep properly with wires attached, an uncomfortable bed, the sub concious telling you there are people watching you, fucked up lighting?! i just dont get it.
OHH MANNN that hurts
You would think they could do it wirelessly these days.
@@gedertonfc they more or less can depending on what hospital you go to and their budget. The lab I work in does VR experiences and they use the same kind of sensors but the wireless version
This is so embarrassing 😂 our pollies are so out of touch. They forget where it came from and that clean cooperate image won't reach it's full potential and won't survive. Talk to the people at MAPs while your there gov about legalising pychadellics for our vets with PTSD. Helped me.
The video mentions stocks shot from $0.30 to $3.00 a share. It’s a pity it’s dropped back down to $0.29 today (04/08/22)
They will go up one day
true medicinal hemp is a non-high strain
LNK but THC has just as many health benefits as CBD. Hemp is only half the answer
Ooooh - they won't like that, preferring the high over the medical relief.
So big corporations get to control a naturally occurring plant and so far it's only legal here in the ACT to grow your own for you rself.
Yes exactly, what's your point? Oh you don't have one your a tragic boring stoner. Go have another bong and regale us with your comprehension of the state of play
@@josephwinder6878 Your the one who clearly lacks comprehension skills if my points not clear to you. my points inferred in my opening sentence, work it out Einstein it's pretty simple. Forget lecturing me or what the state of play may, you need to go back to kindergarten.
pity the poor cant afford it, we are not told what it's been grown in so WE CAN CHOOSE to use government/big pharma cannabis or stick to the blackmarket. my Dr wont fill out the paperwork as she hasn't been taut anything about the Endocannabinoid system & seems to not want to even though she has seen me cut my opioid addiction from fentanyl patch's & oxycodone& endone every day for 12 year's down to 1 targin a week through blackmarket cannabis. We should be aloud to GROW & USE AS WE SEE FIT NOT HAVE SOME COMPANY MAKE SQUILLION'S OUT OF US...
Ringside, a wolf tells you they are all wolves, I'd believe it.
Then I'd bring in Tim. "Every wolf suffers fleas, tis enough to scratch", Tim Currie, Legend, (humor).
6:28 Contamination 7:25 Premature harvest, growing outside or green house is a greater return for any investor.
Is it now legal to grow 3 plants in your garden for personal use in the ACT or is it just Canberra?
Babba shanty rocks 😎 those genetics , send em bro , NZ
These places should be shut down.
These places should be raided and smashed up not by police. People growing in Australia to sell overseas is wrong. Why can you sell it to another country when it's illegal here.
Legalise cannabis in the UK.
Also the canadian government controls their maple syrup.
Wow Smyths eyes tell he lies !
The government's rich mates get to benefit and make money. Nobody owns it. It should be legalized out right. Or pay 200 a plant tax and you can do what you want with it.
Hurry up n legalise. Booze is far more harmful, but we happily chug plenty of that, and the guv'munts are happy cos they stamp their ticket. Tax it, im ok with that, if it means i can get it without having to go blackhat. Have your slice, thats what goverment does.
I cant quite except the whole, in bed with the alcohol industry... the pressure on public health compared to tax from exise, its about 4-6billion in, but 35+ billion out, per annum... alcohol actually costs us 25-30billion per annum.
crunchy profits
For a product that has been available and used forever ,the only time the government want to be involved is when their mates can make billions 😂.
31:30
Cannabis Confidence,Thxs.
It will only make money while it's illegal.
How many other plants would people pay.
20,000 a kg.
CANN they even produce any trichomes!!!
Still nothing has changed in Australia and it’s 2023
Looks like Reggie 😂😂😂😂
15:20
why are they cutting down the room 2 weeks prematurely? 🤦♂️I guess that’s what happens when you hire rookies😂
Lol amateurs
...as herbs do cure ailments
This merely proves that legislation is motivated by profits over the people, that corporations drive government policy, not taxpayers. This is such a blatant example of corporate totalitarianism that the most worrying part is that so few actually notice it.
No it's very noticed, we are not all blind sheep. You have a low opinion of the population.
C'mon Australia, get your shit together! Legalize it, so you can tax shit out of it like you do with everything else!
Humboldt County weed is Dakine!
Jorge Cervantes. Learn how to read thank me later.
Ed Rosenthal, mel frank Jorge cerventes 100% educate yourself grow your own medicine 😉
now it's being administered to addicts and fiends everywhere hahaha. classic. i went back to giving the money to my community and buying from local growers and friends so i don't pay the government and morons. my mates can't seem to quite get the cbd oil as good yet. but one of my mates makes a mean thc oil on par with any i've had as well as the "flower". i gotta admit though the 25% cannatrek topaz knocks you on your ass, which is what it's meant to do. i sleep absolutely every night now, used to be maybe 4 nights a week. changed my life forever. just had to take "dosage" more seriously
*R.I.P. NEVILLE SCHOENMAKERS*
The world is funny place. Criminalise and destroy lives and when profit is sniffed, legalise and exclude the initial community. Wipe them out of the value chain. Introduce bureaucracy. Same script everywhere.
For all my Aussie brothers and sisters, may I recommend Humboldt Home Grown for your pleasure. I lived in Northern California's Humboldt County for many years and it is right smack in the middle of the Redwoods, the largest trees in the world. There is something about the climate and atmosphere here on the Pacific Ocean. Quite often there is fog at night and in the morning, too. The farmers here grow some of the best marijuana in the world. So if you have the opportunity to try some you should. It is estimated that Northern California's Emerald Triangle supplies about half of the marijuana now consumed in the USA.
I’m happy for you and mildly depressed for my nations oppressed people. Hope to be on your level on enlightenment one day soon brother🎸
No thanks, don't want anything from ameriKa
No worries with illegal anything nothing to see here. Might have to watch the invester list n keep an eye on your Packers
pass the bill and the rewards are more than just medical like food textiles fuel and therapeutic and there wont be riots in the streets and hate to say it 90% of users hold down full tome jobs and only use after work but same with any drug you should do your homework before you decide to use it
dont hate to say... its truth, and has been... id say cocaine users have a higher employment rate than any...
@@jonhetherington2654 i would have to agree with you on that point
Taking a gift from nature and turning it into money. SHAME ON YOU.
Its high time things were changed.......
smoke eat sleep repeat
The plant called skitels Help sleeping 2022 seeds
10:40 Makes sense.....how would these bureaucrats and governmental cronies know that two or three cones of any decent/heavy indica makes insomnia a thing of the past....and this guy stands to make millions out of a known fact?
Faark me... where do I sign up?????
That is the problem we the average citizens of Australia cannot sign up, only the Rich or people with connections to politicians may apply.
Lucky bastard! I have no interest in the money but put me on that river bank with a rod and something to cook the buggers and i'll be a happy camper!
Not for enjoyment only for the right reasons.
Nice
and here comes the drug pushers , in groves ,, wow,,, they must be laughing now ,,

So sad dem corrupt da erb jah is not appy
Hahaha and he is still waiting

The legal crims.
Everyone wants to be a drug dealer.
It's going to require laws that support crony capitalism because the shyt is as easy to grow as tomatoes.... decriminalizing move on you money grubbers
Isn't it funny how, after all this time...., nobody spoke of such demon weed, ...........that we finally see the light (or, the actual opportunity to re-regulate) the use for something so common that we should have not been restricted from to begin with ???? Power to the the boomer.........
So true, the largest medical cannabis farm in the world near in Queensland opening soon.
