Thank you so much to everyone who voted 1 for Legalise Cannabis this election, and also to those who gave us a preference. It can take a little longer to get a total senate result, and now we wait.
I am so grateful for your support!

Just saw liberal leader Brad Battin at the pro supervised injecting room rally.
He quickly left when he realised he was at the wrong rally and raced off to join socialist mayor Jolly #endthewarondrugs

It was a joy to spend time in Cooper yesterday, where there was plenty of love for the leaf!
Remember to Vote 1 for Legalise Cannabis in the Senate (the massive white paper)!

I didn’t know the VIC Police were such supporters of the 420 cannabis reform movement. Here with at least 45 members and giving up their Easter Sunday to fly the flag 🚬

The industrial hemp market is worth $18 BILLION!
Victoria plants around 200 hectares of industrial hemp a year worth almost $500k.
It won't get you high, but you can build houses, make flooring, make pipes to replace PVC, and it's energy efficient!
Victoria, cut the red tape!

Australia’s vaping laws are a disaster! Banning nicotine vapes has fueled the illicit market, while medical cannabis vapes remain unaffordable & out of reach for patients. Harm reduction is ignored in favor of prohibition. It’s time for sensible regulation!
