Should be legal to grow our own for medical and recreational purposes. The idea that a bunch of companies can capitalize off of peoples consumption while prohibiting home growing is a corporate/political scam. Legalize it!

large companies can setup everything so they are in the best position to make money from weed, but regular people cannot do it, why is it legal for them and not for all..

Marijuana is still a class 1 drug in NSW ...The govt would prefer that you stick to Cigarettes and Alcohol.

marijuana should be legal it has so many medicinal properties and personal use should not be a crime nor should we have to pay companies for it when we could grow our own

Legalize it. This is what state authority can do to a simple beneficial crop. BTW, I have seen my grandpa smoke marijuana each day when I was a child in hills of my country, Nepal. He was damn hard working man. I dont know why be people think that everybody would just keep on being stoned if marijuana was legalized.

i have a terminal disease, life yes life leads to fatalities like death, I need to smoke heaps of good buds. That would make me feel a lot better. LEGALIZE IT.

They do not let people with knowledge or experience into this business? I wonder if all other organizations follow this practice. I love how these doctors are afraid of Recreational Marijuana, and the United States has to stick it's foot into everyone's business.

Love the way the guy looks down, closes his eyes, shakes his head and says there is no truth to the allegations of making a death threat.

It's all about the profit nothing else.

AUS is so far behind.

Decriminalise it and encourage local growers.. legalisation is for corporations to make money.. why do you need to spend millions for a plant that grows for free.. Canada is way ahead..

Just legalize it. Don't regulate it so heavily. Plus, get large corporations out of it.

Australia will legalise it once we see all the money other countries are making.

Yet another commodity the corporates want to get their hands on to make juicy profits. Why can’t we the people be motivated by helping humans rather than being more concerned about bank balance? Can the laws change based on our soul desire to be happier and healthier rather than richer materialists? This plant has been “trialled and tested” for millennia but we still need research labs to tells us officially that it’s good for us?

5:40 Whats that mate? you've got a lifetime of experience growing the stuff and are really passionate about the medicinal industry and want to know how to get involved to help people... Not on my watch hippy. Common sense is lost in the government

Gross. Watch as this becomes the next big corporate thing. Big sugar, big tobacco, Big alcohol, the list just goes on.....

good stock advice, currently low prices on Australian cannabis growers, all it takes is a big politcal movement and regulation change and the prices will skyrocket

I’ve got a prescription for depression. The price makes me more depressed lol.

I have major issues with anxiety and medication just doesn’t seem to work for me. I just wish that some day soon the government would pull their head in and allow this amazing plant to be legal rather than criminalising it.

Wake up Australia , we need to regulate it correctly so those in need of pain relief etc, can get Fast access, to cheap, high quality cannibus. The current wait time is ridiculous (8-12 months). Not to mention the price( 1200$-1800$ a month). Come on Australia 🇦🇺 step up!!

Ganja is a gift. We should see it for what it is. I'm disabled from Lupus, CFS, Fybromyalgia, Narcolepsy, Arthritis, Stomach problems. Weed makes me able to function. I am a good person who doesn't want to break the law. Please, help people like me. Put it on the PBS so I can function as a normal person, I need higher Sativa and some Indica but can't smoke it and can't afford to bake it. Let's be open minded, c'mon, Australia, please.

What shocks me more than the cannabis debate, is the ABC is taking comments.

Criminal convictions should be wiped and let those that have always had a passion for the plant run the industry. But they make laws that only allow rich people to get into it, they didn't care until they saw the $

yeah, let me just export some shwag to california from australia, said noone ever.

Legalise Cannabis Australia. Pensioners and low income cannot afford the exhorbitant pricing. Free cannabis for adult home grow, dispensaries and cafes for human rights and decriminalisation.

I live in Perth Western Australia, and the Medical Marijuanais totally free of THC, making the CBD's a lot less potent, and this is because of the Mining Industry and Colin Barnetts Government at the time making it illegal to possess and grow... Set back my state 25 years, and it has not changed with any new government. Medical Marijuana is rediculously expensive, and not very potent. Even THAILAND understands that you need THC to get the CBD's to bind properly to your pain receptors. But in my State... they will tell you the opposite, you cant have THC...

You'd think with that cash he can get the bird bath cleaned

It was put on this earth as a natural cure .....

its seems the govt ,big fish, rich corporations want to control it .if you can make restrictions so supply is short make value is high thats what the big picture is. i think corporations should be restricted to not to monopolise with hemp ,to have more small business will spread the GDP more.

And he made his millions with politicians in his back pocket.

anyone know the name of the song in the background in the beginning hahha?

if you want to know if it works for insomnia just ask people like me who have used it for 30 plus years for my anxiety and insomnia

It's going to become like fish oil hahaha

I have one question to the Australian Government: How harmful is marijuana compared to alcohol and cigarettes? if you can answer its more harmful than those then i agree with the class 1 classification. But all i see it actually has more benefits than the two main things you guys are selling

Ha ha interviewer is a doppelganger!

So they will let you smoke, but not grow? I was afraid that was how they'd do California.

This is so embarrassing 😂 our pollies are so out of touch. They forget where it came from and that clean cooperate image won't reach it's full potential and won't survive. Talk to the people at MAPs while your there gov about legalising pychadellics for our vets with PTSD. Helped me.

pity the poor cant afford it, we are not told what it's been grown in so WE CAN CHOOSE to use government/big pharma cannabis or stick to the blackmarket. my Dr wont fill out the paperwork as she hasn't been taut anything about the Endocannabinoid system & seems to not want to even though she has seen me cut my opioid addiction from fentanyl patch's & oxycodone& endone every day for 12 year's down to 1 targin a week through blackmarket cannabis. We should be aloud to GROW & USE AS WE SEE FIT NOT HAVE SOME COMPANY MAKE SQUILLION'S OUT OF US...

So big corporations get to control a naturally occurring plant and so far it's only legal here in the ACT to grow your own for you rself.

I hate the sleep studies' common way of doing things. You're so covered in wires and tape and crap that itches that you can't sleep normally. The one I went through: shit bed, so many things attached to me that I was itching all over (and forbidden to do so) and I could only stay on my back (I don't ever sleep on my back) and they put me to bed at 7:30 pm because most nurses were leaving after that. I went in because of difficulties sleeping. I had no sleep that night, yet the doctor made conclusions about the night.

nothing big is allowed to be private in Australia

And our government spends $26Bn on policing it while ignoring the possible revenue from taxation of premium products

The video mentions stocks shot from $0.30 to $3.00 a share. It’s a pity it’s dropped back down to $0.29 today (04/08/22)

These places should be shut down. These places should be raided and smashed up not by police. People growing in Australia to sell overseas is wrong. Why can you sell it to another country when it's illegal here.

noooo why would you cut it down too early lmao

6:28 Contamination 7:25 Premature harvest, growing outside or green house is a greater return for any investor.

Casino industry started out honest apparently

Is it now legal to grow 3 plants in your garden for personal use in the ACT or is it just Canberra?

The government's rich mates get to benefit and make money. Nobody owns it. It should be legalized out right. Or pay 200 a plant tax and you can do what you want with it.

Babba shanty rocks 😎 those genetics , send em bro , NZ

Ringside, a wolf tells you they are all wolves, I'd believe it. Then I'd bring in Tim. "Every wolf suffers fleas, tis enough to scratch", Tim Currie, Legend, (humor).

true medicinal hemp is a non-high strain

And where we now

Also the canadian government controls their maple syrup.

It will only make money while it's illegal. How many other plants would people pay. 20,000 a kg.

Wow Smyths eyes tell he lies !

crunchy profits

Taking a gift from nature and turning it into money. SHAME ON YOU.

Still nothing has changed in Australia and it’s 2023

Cannabis Confidence,Thxs.

Humboldt County weed is Dakine!

CANN they even produce any trichomes!!!

C'mon Australia, get your shit together! Legalize it, so you can tax shit out of it like you do with everything else!

The world is funny place. Criminalise and destroy lives and when profit is sniffed, legalise and exclude the initial community. Wipe them out of the value chain. Introduce bureaucracy. Same script everywhere.

This merely proves that legislation is motivated by profits over the people, that corporations drive government policy, not taxpayers. This is such a blatant example of corporate totalitarianism that the most worrying part is that so few actually notice it.

why are they cutting down the room 2 weeks prematurely? 🤦‍♂️I guess that’s what happens when you hire rookies😂

For a product that has been available and used forever ,the only time the government want to be involved is when their mates can make billions 😂.

Legalise cannabis in the UK.

31:30

Looks like Reggie 😂😂😂😂

Hurry up n legalise. Booze is far more harmful, but we happily chug plenty of that, and the guv'munts are happy cos they stamp their ticket. Tax it, im ok with that, if it means i can get it without having to go blackhat. Have your slice, thats what goverment does.

...as herbs do cure ailments

now it's being administered to addicts and fiends everywhere hahaha. classic. i went back to giving the money to my community and buying from local growers and friends so i don't pay the government and morons. my mates can't seem to quite get the cbd oil as good yet. but one of my mates makes a mean thc oil on par with any i've had as well as the "flower". i gotta admit though the 25% cannatrek topaz knocks you on your ass, which is what it's meant to do. i sleep absolutely every night now, used to be maybe 4 nights a week. changed my life forever. just had to take "dosage" more seriously

15:20

No worries with illegal anything nothing to see here. Might have to watch the invester list n keep an eye on your Packers

For all my Aussie brothers and sisters, may I recommend Humboldt Home Grown for your pleasure. I lived in Northern California's Humboldt County for many years and it is right smack in the middle of the Redwoods, the largest trees in the world. There is something about the climate and atmosphere here on the Pacific Ocean. Quite often there is fog at night and in the morning, too. The farmers here grow some of the best marijuana in the world. So if you have the opportunity to try some you should. It is estimated that Northern California's Emerald Triangle supplies about half of the marijuana now consumed in the USA.

Its high time things were changed.......

Jorge Cervantes. Learn how to read thank me later.

pass the bill and the rewards are more than just medical like food textiles fuel and therapeutic and there wont be riots in the streets and hate to say it 90% of users hold down full tome jobs and only use after work but same with any drug you should do your homework before you decide to use it

Lucky bastard! I have no interest in the money but put me on that river bank with a rod and something to cook the buggers and i'll be a happy camper!

*R.I.P. NEVILLE SCHOENMAKERS*

Not for enjoyment only for the right reasons.

The plant called skitels Help sleeping 2022 seeds

10:40 Makes sense.....how would these bureaucrats and governmental cronies know that two or three cones of any decent/heavy indica makes insomnia a thing of the past....and this guy stands to make millions out of a known fact? Faark me... where do I sign up?????

Nice

and here comes the drug pushers , in groves ,, wow,,, they must be laughing now ,,

Hahaha and he is still waiting

I got the acres

So sad dem corrupt da erb jah is not appy

It's going to require laws that support crony capitalism because the shyt is as easy to grow as tomatoes.... decriminalizing move on you money grubbers

Everyone wants to be a drug dealer.

Isn't it funny how, after all this time...., nobody spoke of such demon weed, ...........that we finally see the light (or, the actual opportunity to re-regulate) the use for something so common that we should have not been restricted from to begin with ???? Power to the the boomer.........

The legal crims.

give a job ,with a vent

sorry Reotinto is a wolf look what happened in Papua new guinea guess main shear holder

Neville is now the King of the Con! And he's laughing all the way to the airport.
