Mission
End Cannabis Prohibition. Annual Australian Cannabis law reform rally and gathering on the first weekend of May.
General Information
For those who came in late…
“In March 1993, after a decade of raids and arrests, and a particularly intensive recent period of random street searches, arrests and rough treatment, a spontaneous demonstration erupted, and marched to the police station, pelting it with eggs and toilet paper. Negative newspaper reports followed.
.
Nimbin Hemp Embassy (formerly “Nimbin Hemp”) members decided to hold a peaceful protest in a non-confrontational atmosphere, that ordinary people could comfortably attend, on May 1, 1993.
That was the first MardiGrass. (The spelling is that officially used by the MardiGrass Organising Body) The MOB was formed to manage the event and consists entirely of volunteers. The intention is to hold a MardiGrass every year until prohibition ends.” www.nimbinmardigrass.com

Too bad there's no feedback on the link ... it'd be great to laugh in their faces at this 'dramatic turn of events' ...
For 50 years I've been of the belief pot is not addictive. Is this a new thing discovered by big pharma or maybe ice kitchens invested in a study. ABC are like the grubment...cash for comment or new law respectively
Its right! 🤣
happy to be addicted to my medicine - is ABC sponsored by big pharma these days ??
I'm not addicted to cannabis I'm addicted to being happy and not letting this shitty world affect me as much
Most addicts don't think they are addicted or dependant till they go without. Cannabis has good uses but to say it's not addictive or dependant is false.
I am addicted ☹️ I get terrible withdrawals but I’m not sure if it’s just my chronically ill body that does that
Can't be physically addicted only mentally and if you can't beat your own mind a spray isn't gunna do shit.
Cannabis addiction? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All my bluezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Why would ya?
ffs
BWHAHAHAHA -- ADDICTION ??? That's nice to see LAME-stream-media and medicine making up more BS.
Can't believe idiots who dont think you can't get withdrawals from cannabis are the ones championing it's legalization. If you're gonna challenge the government at least know what the fuck you're talking about.
meh . Nah . It's the release you get from your depression or boredom that is addictive. We are weak creatures and hate feeling shitty ,hate when things dont go our way and hate change ,weed fixes that or makes you careless about false imprisonment of societies standards ergo feeling free . Itself is not addictive I have animals that have preferred to be baked .not addicted because there is no withdrawals or change in behaviour, only mood . . I I definatley see what your saying and have felt addicted but learning knowing and realizing all this I have come to terms with it rather then give in or give up . It is a culture and religion in itself that is shared so thoroughly around the world that it seems like the one and only reason to legalise it is for actual world peace. Travel the world abit goto other countries and see ,we are all human and deserve the same treatment ,we are the same we laugh and learn the same and goddam we have good times while smoking and kicking back trying to get past language barriers hahahaha ,I love my life because i feel like I found peace , in one form or another or even many forms intertwined together , wow . Where did that come from ....
The increased popularity of Cannabis and the total failure of successive governments to introduce meaningful adult use and medical regimes will certainly play an ever increasing role in future political discourse.

The result of the HEMP Party's low budget campaign underscores the strong support for Cannabis law reform within Australia.1 month ago

Australia Voted for Cannabis.
The HEMP (Help End Marijuana Prohibition) Party received more Senate votes than ever before and more votes than most other minor parties.
Australians are clearly concerned about cannabis prohibition and made it very clear at the ballot box.
We sat down with Michael Balderstone, HEMP Party President and Andrew Kavasilas, HEMP Party Secretary to chat about the HEMP Party's success at the recent federal elections.

Medical profession failed me for 10 yrs,this is ONLY thing that HELPED. Thanks
New laws come into effect today in New South Wales which mean that if you test positive to the presence of Cannabis (even if you are totally unimpaired and haven't had anything in 24 hours) you will lose your license immediately for 3 months.

The sample must have been tested by the lab BEFORE the licence is taken, however.
I’d like the police to take the tests also. Why should we place our trust in someone carrying a firearm unless they can prove they’re drug free and haven’t used anything in their career.
Is there an option to face a magistrate if the lab results come back positive? I'm not willing to cop it on the chin.
People who take medical cannabis because medical profession has failed them.Its not right they have to stop taking medical cannabis so they can drive.How many people don’t drive if the Drs prescription tells them not too.Its not right
Some one should Spike a main food brand with thc oil so 100s of 1000s of people come up positive lol
If it’s in your saliva, it’s in your blood. When I did the breathalyser course back in the 70’s we conducted test where we measured reaction times (accelerator to brake) and the was a significant difference between those who drank alcohol and those using cannabis. The slower ones were the cannabis user, some up to half a second.
If you have a smart phone, grab the Waze app. Not fool proof but people put up alerts for police in the area. No good for being randomly stopped by unmarked cars though. So watch your speed and they should leave you alone.its a disgrace that THC is tested. When was the last time you heard a news story where they said “the driver was high on cannibus when the accident occurred”? Never.
Ok so how about everyone must drive with 0.000% alcohol in their systems too 🤔
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25208898/ There is no impairment from Cannabis it enhances driving by being more aware and cautious.
A jailbird friend mentioned this product .
Get prescribed Xanax or similar and you’re good to go. Because they’re good for you and a plant is illegal 🙄😒
But you can drink alcohol and methadone and drive...Omg how ancient are the laws.
I'm so cranky that this law is in.its so bloody unfair...Your allowed a limit on grog ..why is this not applicable for mj..
Does anyone know what the current Qld law is?
It actually lasts days in your system not in the saliva but on the back of your teeth between the teeth the resin collects like in your bong and even though you brush floss you can’t get it all this is why they get you to roll your tongue around your mouth three times to get it on your tongue this is why they say the more you smoke the longer your at risk of being caught
Did anyone else read salvia?
Only cannabis or all illicit drugs?
Wasn’t this already the law?
So what happens to all the medical patients
Move to Victoria.. .or NZ
Do we know how long our saliva stays illegal ?
How long does it stay detected in your saliva for?
Yay! Not...
They also test for Blow Jobs

Speaking from the Hemp, Health and Innovation expo in Sydney the party's president Michael Balderstone said he was happy with the results given the advertising spend of bigger parties and they would probably make the party take the next election "a bit more seriously."

Legalise it, don’t criticise it. “This scheme has never been about road safety,” NSW MLC David Shoebridge told Sydney Criminal Lawyers. “This scheme has always been a backhanded extension of the war on drugs.”
Mr Balderstone and Dr Katelaris are currently both running for the Senate in this Saturday’s federal election on the HEMP Party ticket. If elected, the pair want to see the laws around cannabis changed in this country, so that people can purchase legal product or grow it at home.

the rules about RDT are the dumbest ever. Simply said. But! Tightening the screws with RBT is great. You drink? Dont drive.
Alcohol impairment can be proven conclusively but Cannabis impairment can't and yet still prosecuted just reeks injustice.
Since the last election there are no more senate group voting tickets. Now we have how to vote cards that are a guide only.
Some parties have printed cards or made diagrams online displaying their 'preferences' in the current form.
HEMP asks for your primary vote and leaves the decision up to you on who fills your six above the line on the senate ballot paper.

This could be yours and grown in your own backyard for you and your family's health and well-being. Cannabis is medicinal but the law says that growing it at home is a crime. So you have to pay for expensive pharmaceutical drugs that are not as good and definitely not as natural as a herb.
We need to grow our own legal medicine, at least six plants each for adults over 18, and in our own backyard.
Aussies can safely vote for legal Cannabis in this election. At the polling booth you can privately make a mark for the plant that should never have been made illegal.
There are a couple of million Aussie voters who enjoy Cannabis regularly and they are not real criminals. #ausvotes #justlegaliseit
