Hemp Embassy Headlines Issue 588 Dec 8 2023

Good Morning Heatwave!
I listened to a Cannabiz podcast featuring Rachael that was very informative and you can hear the excitement and enthusiasm in her voice.I do love listening to Rachael speak, she’s all cannabis and compassion.We are winning and it’s thanks to those who continually put themselves out there for our plant that make all the difference. Imagine ripping out a bud in parliament a decade ago!
“100 years of failed policy needs to be sorted before then, any other policy would have been scrapped decades before with such continued failure!”
Thank you to Rachael, David, Jeremy, Brian and Sophia for everything you do!(not forgetting of course the 100’000s of advocates that support us daily.)
In other news, I found this little snippet regarding TGA Approval Processes,Highly enlightening despite it rambling on bit. Worth a skim through:
Australian Government response to the Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Sport reportThe New Frontier – Delivering better health for all Australians.Inquiry into approval processes for new drugs and novel medical technologies in AustraliaNovember 2023
I also found this great little series called “Narcofiles, New Criminal Order”.I am fascinated by these countries and how they are pushing their own agenda with or without the governments co-operation.
The below is a bit of a side note. This has been an increasing issue for QLD and NSW and people should be aware how destructive they can be.https://invasives.org.au/saveprotectedareas
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you may do and as always,
