Hear, hear!
Medicinal cannabis patients face inaccessible vaporiser devices, inconsistent product labelling, workplace discrimination, and criminal charges for driving while not impaired. We're going to keep pushing to fix this broken system.

And by “America” he means Trump.
Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.

You can’t tell people not to attend a protest rally, let alone threaten them with Police action/violence if they do.

Ugly scenes, and all a result of a visible “toughening” of NSW Police’s response to protesters.
Sydney police were widely accused of using excessive force after video showed they fired pepper spray at peaceful protesters, punched demonstrators, including an elderly man, and forcibly removed Muslims who were praying in the street. Dozens of people were pepper-sprayed, and 27 were arrested.

So “boo” and “shame” will get you “spoken to by police” and issued a “Move on Direction” AND banned for three days from joining any “Pro-Palestinian rally” because that behaviour is “inciting fear and violence”.

We thought inciting an insurrection was the worst thing a US President could do. We were wrong; Trump is having US citizens shot dead in the streets.
