    " It’s estimated 750,000 people use cannabis every week in Australia.
    In a Roy Morgan poll released in late 2015, 91 per cent of Australians surveyed said they would support the legalisation of cannabis for medicinal purposes, with the most enthusiastic support coming from those aged over 50.
    Director of Free Cannabis NSW and Queensland, and the picnic’s organiser, Chris Hindi, told news.com.au the event was about changing stereotypes.
    “There’s a stigma that cannabis users are lazy, slow and dopey but the majority of people aren’t; they’re lawyers, doctors and accountants.
    “A lot of people are closet users.”
    The NSW Government announced a $12 million Centre for Medicinal Cannabis Research and Innovation last year and a $9 million series of trials of cannabis based medicines aimed at improving the quality of life of adults with terminal illnesses, children with epilepsy and to combat the side effects of chemotherapy.
    While Mr Hindi welcomed the move he said it didn’t go far enough.
    “They are moving very slowly. We want to realise full decriminalisation but it’s going to be your last dying chance to access cannabis.”
    Despite concerns from some in the medical profession that sustained cannabis use can lead to serious health conditions, Mr Hindi said there was no justification for the current prohibition on pot.
    “From what we know, there is no real detriment or side effects from cannabis use.
    “Some say it will cause psychosis but we really don’t know that until we know more about it [so] why are we prosecuting good people?”


    Agree, there is no mention of MM companies - but it does highlight in part the importance and need for the industry to go forward. If I've wasted your time sorry.

    Cheers
