HIGH People

I have been made aware of an up an coming "Medical marijuana/Cannabis march for the sick and dying" on September 14th 2014 that will be happening around Australia(see poster below for all details)

Make yourself available...show Australia that it is long overdue for a change concerning our much needed Medical Cannabis laws (non laws at the moment!!).

There are Facebook pages for each of the cities where the march will be held and a poster to download and to be spread far and wide.HH. =]-~

Well it's a start and I'm glad it's Australia wide, Thanks for sharing this info HH

[KITCHA]

Great idea I will make sure I tell as many people as possible, there is a change coming!

Cheers Kit-

Hey KITCHA and BOOM ...glad to see a couple of you guys interested...wheres the rest?

...But yes...hopefully the word gets around and we get some extra ppl there...

i even doubt it will make a huge difference...BUT...i personally hope it helps to raise awareness and gets the ppl that are uneducated about Medical Cannabis somewhat educated

....at last count around 65% (going on what many polls says) of Australia believe that there should be new laws made for cannabis for the ppl that need it.HH. =]-~

Yes I hear you brother, the funny thing about Australia and Cannabis is that though nearly everyone wants a change or would like it to be decriminalized or be made as a Medical Option, the draconian laws and the harsh penalties have most of these people worried about being busted or targeted by the police if they stand up and make their voice heard out loud. Or it's the typical Aussie attitude of can't be arsed doing anything about it.
That's just my opinion though and I could be seriously bloody wrong with my head up my arse
I will be there at the Adelaide march because even though I could benefit from Medical Marijuana with my chronic back pain which has afflicted my life for the past 15yrs, there are people out there in much worse off situations than mine and they could really benefit from the relief that MM could bring to their lives, Cancer patients, people with Multiple Sclerosis, people in wheelchairs and the list goes on an on.
Plus the amount of wrong information that has been shoved down peoples throats since the 1950s and on by the people in charge of this country, is just criminal to say the least, as we both know brother there is mounting evidence being conducted in medical an scientific labs that MM is not the bad drug it's been made out to be but it is an actual god given gift that has been shown to have positive effects on people with/in pain, people with cancer have been able to get rid of the cancer using hash oil or able to eat and have a semi normal life whilst receiving cancer treatment, people with MS can lead almost normal lives or not be as affected by the MS with MM availability, again the list is long and varied with the positive effects that people can achieve if Medical Marijuana is available to them to help treat their conditions.
Like you say even if we can get the info out there to all the people that have believed the bullshit info and give them the real facts, the real truth with actual evidence about MM then that would be a positive step forward for all of us and this country in general.
I'll be there brother, I hope to see you there with a lot of other people who want to see a change happen I'm sick and tired of living in the dark ages and having dickheads like Abbott and any of the other politicians tell me how bad Medical Marijuana is and how there is no benefit from using it to treat a medical condition.

Hi guys I haven't been active on these forums in a long while, but I will try to from now on, and seeing this notice is very encouraging. It's really great to hear about these events; I will be attending the Melbourne one for sure. I don't smoke weed anymore (I don't want to buy street weed and I currently can't grow my own), but I feel very strongly about the stigma associated with Medical Cannabis. I've found it's very difficult to rationally debate staunch opponents on the subject, who blanket all attempts in their own ignorance of the facts of the matter. But progress is sometimes a slow process, and progress is definitely being made. I will do my best to spread the word, and continue to support all the efforts being made to change this serious human rights issue.

I WILL BE THERE ! CMON GUYS SPREAD THE WORD , GET MORE PEOPLE THERE !

[b00m]

Great to see you ww and Nowhere_Man and even better to hear that your going to actively participate in this ground breaking March across Australia
This really needs our support and our progressive thinking to get Medical Marijuana happening here in Australia, come on Aussie peeps I know you have been reading this thread and I know deep down that you all want this to happen here in Australia, so please show some support and say so in this thread or at the very least please attend the march in your home state, we all need this to happen.

[wallywombat]

ive had this one planned on the calendar for the last few months i won't be missing it, i will be there in my POLITE hat doing WHAT i do. MUCH LOVE and PEACE

Hey ppl! the message below was just posted on the Adelaide site...so take note if you happen to miss it(don't know if this is happening in other city's ???)

"Adelaide event will not be marching, As some people can't walk that distance. So please everyone meet at Parliament House Step's.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your day."

BOOM..nope you don't "I could be seriously bloody wrong with my head up my arse"..pretty much spot on man!

nowhere man- nice one!!


wally wombat- good to hear!!

also....dont know if ppl are aware????....but there is a petition to be signed....so get onto it!

NSW GOV (not aware of all the facts ...so excuse me if i get it a little wrong) should have a vote in the coming weeks for medical cannabis(failed last time) so lets hope all goes well....will still be a long way off to be perfect which ever way it goes...from what it looks like we/ppl will either still have to buy it on the street ....or...someone will become our dealer gov/a company....hopefully one day medical cannabis in Australia can be modeled on a "already working "model being used in the States(USA) at some point...

and they are also trying to raise fund for news paper ads etc...so even a small $5 donation helps...very heart warming to see they have nearly reached their target(raised around $20k within the first couple of days )
