-ON RUDDS RURAL HEALTH PLAN-
A delegation from the Nimbin HEMP Embassy seized the opportunity to remind PM Rudd that Cannabis is a health issue, during his visit to Lismore Hospital. The BIG JOINT crew scrambled, on short notice to represent cannabis consumers, who support law reform and re- legalisation. Code named; Operation Blunt End, the POLITE SQUAD provided logistical assistance to inflate the MardiGrass flagship.

Medical Marijuana is now prescribed to school children in California for a wide range of common ailments, including stress and anxiety. Terminally ill patients receive natural relief for their pain and misery from registered dispensaries that provide a regulated supply. Legislation for medical use is now passed in 14 States of the US. Mexico has decriminalised many drugs for personal use. Australian laws on Cannabis use for medical and personal purposes must change.
Victims are created from a situation that ruins lives, if you are caught experimenting as a youth or a poor lost soul. Punishment without fair reason is a disparity of justice compared to other crimes. Social problems are perpetuated by the over-inflated price for cannabis that attracts the criminal market.
Prohibition of Cannabis is yet to show any success in suppressing the illegal trafficking of the herb and review of the current legislation is well over due. Money spent on attempting to prevent cannabis use has been wasted and has given reason to disrespect the legal process. Discrimination against alcohol abuse and nicotine addiction would be seen as undemocratic under the present laws.
Now PM Rudd has placed the spot light on Rural Health it is essential that cannabis is prescribed for a wide variety of diseases, therapeutically.

Did you know the CWA wanted cannabis as medicine trials a few years ago?
