    Hey guys. Love the show. Long-time listener here.

    How come you’re not covering the federal cannabis legalisation bill? How about getting Senator David Shoebridge on the show.

Reflections on Canadian Cannabis Legalisation: David Brown, co-founder at Stratcann (AltMed Ep.121)
Q: What have you seen from Australia that maybe you like? What have you seen that you don't like?
David observed parallels between the evolving medical cannabis space in Australia and Canada’s early days, noting excitement in stock market trends but also highlighting the challenges stemming from overbuilding regulations.
Cannabis Politics in NZ : Abe Gray, Founder of Whakamana Cannabis Museum (AltMed Ep.119)
Q: What do you think about the recent referendum results on cannabis legalization?
The referendum resulted in a very narrow loss and was more about political optics than true legalization, creating second-class citizen status for cannabis users.
Cannabis Politics in NZ : Abe Gray, Founder of Whakamana Cannabis Museum (AltMed Ep.119)
Q: How would you describe the state of the medical cannabis market in New Zealand at the moment?
The medical cannabis market in New Zealand has recently taken off with increasing product approvals and consumer interest, particularly in THC flower products.
Cannabis Scents, Flavours and Effects: Robert Collier, Geneticist at MA Genetics (AltMed Ep.108)
Q: What are some of the challenges you've faced in the cannabis industry?
One challenge is the long time it takes to import genetics into Australia under medicinal cannabis licenses, which can lead to lost opportunities and products.
Cannabis Scents, Flavours and Effects: Robert Collier, Geneticist at MA Genetics (AltMed Ep.108)
Q: What do you see as the future for cannabis cultivation in Australia?
There needs to be more investment into the industry. We should focus on homegrown products to create unique ranges rather than mimicking what others are doing.
