Culture, Standards and What Comes Next w/ Julian Stefanou (West Coast Palms)
Q: Do you want to see more medicinal rigor? Do you want to see more acceptance of the culture, a bit of both?
A perfect utopia would be a blend of both culture and medical focus, providing education and transparency for patients.
Culture, Standards and What Comes Next w/ Julian Stefanou (West Coast Palms)
Q: What does this intersection (culture and medicine) mean in a practical sense?
Realizing the fine line between cultural and medical cannabis helps destigmatize both aspects, as both aim to stimulate positive effects and relieve anxieties.
Still Fighting For Reform w/ Rachel Payne (Legalise Cannabis Victoria)
Q: If you had 10 minutes off the record with Jacinta Allen, it's your ultimate pitch. What do you think your pitch would center around?
I would remind her that this is sensible reform and it enjoys wide community support, with 80% of Australians thinking that cannabis should no longer be a criminal offence.
