‘A medical marvel’: Calls made to legalise Cannabis in three states

Calls have been made to legalise Cannabis in Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia, says Sky News host Liz Storer.

“When it comes to your ability to grow a plant, which has proved time and time again to be a medical marvel,” Ms Storer said.

“We’re not just talking about serious issues like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, but more general issues like anxiety and depression.

“One could well argue in many ways this plant is a gift from god.”

    Calls as in phone call? Because if that’s all it takes, make a phone call for world peace.

    I’m sick of these private businesses making millions on issuing consultation and scripts. We should be able to purchase weed without stigma. Without a script and without the stupid prices.

    This is fantastic.
    Certain the ancient Hindus have called this plant a ‘gift from above’ 3 millennia ago .

    LOL The ACT hasnt got any way of increasing cannibis sales to cope with the increase in demand… because of the climate.. how stupid.. plus they are not allowed to grow it inside which means most of the year nothing can grow so it has to come from outside of the ACT and the police have had more time to stop this rather than arrest people with it.. So really the lack of cannibis has had a great effect on the situation by way of reduction…. The pot smokers have even said this, the medicinal marujana people are still complaining they cant get it and cant grow it inside legally because of the reduction. LOL and this LOBBYIST is making up his own fake news…

    she is not making the distinction between cannabis (marijuana) to get high on and the derivative good medicine that one can’t. It,s early days yet in
    canberra. Just look at the problems with marijuana now in states in US from what I’ve heard.

    Sedating us will at least make accepting our ‘officials’ a lot easier in a ‘yeah whatever’ kind of way!

    If they do it, Queensland can get fucked. I’m leaving.

    Willie Nelson turned 90 the other day & he smokes it.

    The Endocannabinoid System 💚🥳 Medical marvel indeed. Education and stigma is what the humans need to work on.

    If a country drinks alcohol but says Marijuana is bad then that country is a$$ backwards and is run by old think . Cannabis oil treats skin cancer I’ve had 100% success on several different people .

    A vote for drugs is a vote too murder.
    Mental illness kills 1 in 5 people.

    Yes my statistics are false.
    Just like the legalise cannibis parties claims.



  16. Sean on September 6, 2023 at 1:59 am

    a poll was done recently, 90% of aussies want it legal. There needs to be a parliamentary inquiry into possible corruption

But medication alot of side effects to some people, one medication I was on caused bad chest pains & hallucination and you can overdose on medicinal drugs like she said its a plant not a drug people dont die from cannabis like they can from actual drugs!

  26. WonderDownUnder on September 6, 2023 at 2:09 am

    Legalize It! I would love to grow some plants just for the smell of the flowers and look of the plant. Would of been legal in WA already if it wasn’t for that useless Mark McGowan. Id rather people smoke cannabis and chillout and be happy than get hooked on meth an brake into your house and hold you at knife point to rob you.



  27. Douglas Yoole on September 6, 2023 at 2:09 am

    Better for than anti-depressants for depression, better than sleeping pills for insomnia, better than pain killers for arthritis, gout etc……….that’s a lot of pills the big pharmaceuticals won’t get to sell.
