    $700 a month, surely someone that knows the family can give a cannabutter recipe…



  2. stevie thompson on September 5, 2023 at 1:36 am

    Free the weed



  3. Death to deception! on September 5, 2023 at 1:37 am

    So for medicinal purpose it is okay to use cannibus. Otherwise, illegal. How stupid are these rules!



  4. XXX75 on September 5, 2023 at 1:37 am

    wheres that factory located just asking for a freind



  5. Anfrax on September 5, 2023 at 1:40 am

    Parents know best. The worry is idiots thinking medical cannabis has any link to their bong and arguing that it should be legal..



  6. Tama McKinnon on September 5, 2023 at 1:42 am

    Yet again see how your governments treat people..Panadol does more damage



  7. grubguts on September 5, 2023 at 1:43 am

    I’ve got a mate with ptsd and he’s been getting it illegally cause no gp want anything to do with canabis. It’s made his life worth loving again. Comon government just get it done



  8. Sami 11 on September 5, 2023 at 1:46 am

    Government needs to make cannabis legal Australia wide and not just the capital city



  9. Rufus Sims on September 5, 2023 at 1:47 am

    It’s not research that will lower the price, that’s bull… it’s full scale legalisation including recreational use that will lower the price. I’ve lived in legal countries they had the exact same issues until it was legalised recreationally. We don’t have the production here to meet the demand.

  12. Chezza 😎 on September 5, 2023 at 1:51 am

    The only illegal thing about this wonderful oil is the price its criminal



  13. Willis Cooked on September 5, 2023 at 1:51 am

    Please I beg you make this legal and available. I want my boy to try a trial he is 5 and I’m willing to spend the $700 month to help our family!



  14. JordanLeo on September 5, 2023 at 1:52 am

    Just make it as legal as tomatoes. Let people grow their own.



  15. C V on September 5, 2023 at 1:52 am

  16. stringy bark on September 5, 2023 at 1:52 am

  17. Statan Helier on September 5, 2023 at 1:53 am

  18. Chezza 😎 on September 5, 2023 at 1:53 am

I didn’t believe it would help after 7 days the change was amazing its criminal to Australian people, Australia is so behind in we don’t work how the hell do we pay to be sick , the government need to quick to warp ahead we are dying we are crippled few help



  19. Rufus Sims on September 5, 2023 at 1:55 am

    Listen to "Why we grow" by ‘Mendo Dope’
    You’re welcome



  20. Rohan The Rock With The Rocket HandsRichardson on September 5, 2023 at 1:55 am

    The cost should actually be pretty cheap especially if the government were to sell permits so that people are able to grow up to a small amount within their own property especially for medical reasons!
    The best thing at the moment would be the costs going into the government coffers after all the expenses due to covid 19 and the fact that most of the younger generations are in favour of it being completely decriminalised.



  21. Rick Suaz on September 5, 2023 at 1:57 am

    Tell Gladys that this is a race and you’ll see how everyone gets their oil, even the ones that Don need it will take it or Its back to lockdown



  22. I will not comply on September 5, 2023 at 1:57 am

    Fun factoid: The word recreation comes from Latin recreationem (nominative recreatio) "recovery from illness," noun of action from past participle stem of recreare "to refresh, restore, make anew, revive, invigorate,"



  23. Dreams Catcher on September 5, 2023 at 1:58 am

    Need to make it cheaper



  24. Gampee on September 5, 2023 at 2:03 am

    When did Millimetres become a measurement of Volume? Should check your work before making fools of yourselves……



  25. Skippy F.T.P filmthepolice on September 5, 2023 at 2:03 am

    What makes me laugh.
    Weed been smoked for hundred of years. Government Authorities still dragging the chain making it legal.
    Yer some poison Vacation that’s only had years of testing. It’s ok to inject into your Arm. 🤷.
    Weed Thousand of uses, still illegal.
    Quick get Vacation of Poison. It’s ok?



  26. Jam Li on September 5, 2023 at 2:04 am

    vaccine is all good, but a plant is still under heavy regulation, sure this makes so much sense.



  27. The Krutchinator on September 5, 2023 at 2:05 am

    It appears as though the Government has been passing the Bong at cabinet meetings instead of passing worthwhile legislation!



  28. bro brah on September 5, 2023 at 2:06 am

    canabis should be illegal. regards pharmacist.



  29. BaddriversOz on September 5, 2023 at 2:08 am

    This is so good! Sorely needed! CBD on!



  30. Chezza 😎 on September 5, 2023 at 2:09 am

  31. porky on September 5, 2023 at 2:09 am

    See they stuffed it already so costly !!!!



  32. Hairy Scary on September 5, 2023 at 2:11 am

    Got CBD cream on my shoulder right now 👍🏻 as there’s no THC not illegal to import for personal use, also approved now as they will sell in chemist warehouse soon but as a cream the 150mg approval in Australia want be strong enough 300mg as cream or ointment is the go as I’ve only used a cream cant comment on oral use



  33. Adz Abz on September 5, 2023 at 2:12 am

    Why is canabis an expensive therapy to begin?



  34. Chris Mckenna on September 5, 2023 at 2:14 am

    Just think that not that many years ago they would not do any testing on cannibis benefits..



  35. Corsta.D Mack on September 5, 2023 at 2:14 am

    Im on 1 gram T18 in the morning and 1 gram T20 at night,10gram jars every 10days at $275. This is via cannatrek (best distributors) Not much difference between street prices but still could be alot cheaper. If i was to grow my own, to self medicate id be slapped with a hefty fine and possibly jail! Just decriminalize for medical purposes



  36. Alison Penelope Pitstop Scarborough on September 5, 2023 at 2:16 am

    I certainly hope this becomes more easily available & more affordable.



  37. MVP GOAT on September 5, 2023 at 2:16 am

    It would be cheaper to just get that kid punching cones!



  38. Barry David on September 5, 2023 at 2:17 am

    The only reason it’s so will be expensive is because the permits are ridiculously priced.
    CBD oil helps so many people so it should be subsidised and used as a revenue raiser.



  39. yec yec on September 5, 2023 at 2:18 am

    DON’T DRINK FIZZY DRINKS.



  40. Robin Lee on September 5, 2023 at 2:19 am

    Amazing organic product!



  41. Barry David on September 5, 2023 at 2:20 am

    Get your description right, it’s not a world first. America has been leading the world in these studies and many children there are benefiting from this already.



  42. Pedro The wise on September 5, 2023 at 2:22 am

    Give the kids what they need. Bless them.



  43. n g on September 5, 2023 at 2:22 am

    Meanwhile ads for grog all over tv channels.. Hypocrites..



  44. MV60 on September 5, 2023 at 2:24 am

    Where TF is the money going? It’s a plant. It’s not like you’re growing gold bars and cold pressing them for their oil.



  45. AUSSIE on September 5, 2023 at 2:28 am

    Must be incredibly challenging to care for someone like that. Nothing but praise to the family and carers. As a carer for an oldie I know how frustrating it can be.



  46. Steg human on September 5, 2023 at 2:28 am

    0:19 to 25 That’s Schweppervescence rush we all love, displayed right there.



  47. justin blake on September 5, 2023 at 2:29 am

    Just so people know its over 50% cheaper to buy it from a drug dealer



  48. Milamber Hague on September 5, 2023 at 2:29 am

    Im 37 and prescribed it for adhd been on it one month and have cut my dex completely



  49. Angela Brown on September 5, 2023 at 2:32 am

    Really???? We KNOW THIS WORKS, YET THEY WANT US TO VACCINATE OUR KIDS WITH AN EMERGENCY APPROVED VACCINE??? BY THE WAY, A VACCINE IF YOU LOOK THE MEANING UP, PROTECTS YOU COMPLETELY FROM A DISEASE OR VIRUS, AND YOU CANNOT SPREAD IT, SO THEIR SHOT IS NOT A VACCINE, UNBELIEVABLE!!!



  50. grubguts on September 5, 2023 at 2:32 am

    Great about time this government took this seriously. Finally.
