Australia's Underground Medicinal Marijuana Growers
Australia's Underground Medicinal Marijuana Growers
At this time in Australia, only a “defined group of patients” have access to medicinal cannabis, including children with “severe intractable epilepsy”. But while the government embarks on the long process of implementing legal medicinal cannabis schemes for those beyond the current legislation, desperate patients have been forced to source medicine from the black market.
In Stealthcare, VICE embeds with illegal growers and the patients they service, exploring the issues surrounding access to medicinal cannabis. These growers, essentially cannabis enthusiasts, often donate their product for little or no cost, at great personal risk. Scarred by jealous drug dealers, police raids and government persecution, these “Compassion Clubs” are forced to operate on the black market where they can deliver the medicine to sufferers.

Dude don’t put your caps on the dirty floor these people are sick already
Salute you, boys. And girls. I hear you. Some circles of exposure in my latter years have led me to my own experience and learnings down this path that more or less directly align with what I just watched. Glad to see something worthy in journalism, particularly with vice.
This documentary is a very, very common practice and way of life at the moment for a lot of people, and for a very long time now in this country. And stupendously everywhere. The only catch is, the bikie and criminal syndicate elements that reign supreme with the bud market. And with that comes like the boys were saying in this doco ; no love, no learning, no knowing the plants and understanding. 100%. Just cut corner, PGR filled crap that sells coz hey, there’s a market for it here. And those people don’t care for one second who it’s going to.
I don’t live in Sydney anymore or close to any major city anymore. I’m lucky the stuff I get is usually pretty darn good around our area. 100% organic outdoor. The indoor is even better. Not rocky, chemically nasty and no no terpene crap or trich’s from the pgr’s ; beautifully scented absolute smasher stuff. Good night. Wam bam thank you mam. And indeed, I know first hand is treating a plethora of ailments and patients. But there’s still not enough.
And it’s a drag to get coz every Tom and dick smokes and wants it. And obviously legislation too.
And guess what? It’s usually associated with a criminal element, and for folk like me who just want the dank and not the crack head interaction or any association with crime – just the bud, it’s annoying (imagine the patients frustrations!). Still, where I am is very minimal for all that, luckily, and the outdoor variety is so so good on a personal note. Hurry up Australia. An absolute no brainer becomes apart of the circus. Cue lame circus music.
Australia needs to change
It isn’t a whole lot different or better here in the states. You must go to a cannibus clinic and pay upwards of $400 for the appointment, prescription and license to consume it. Then, either you must be fully capable of growing it yourself, or know someone willing and able to do it for you, and they also must pay fees just for the legal license to do so. If neither of those options are available to you for a medical need of cannibus, then the only choice left is to pay for it out of your own pocket at a very profit driven dispensary, if you are lucky enough to even live somewhere that has one available and you can afford to pay for it.
Doing bad things but in the name of helping people wtf 😂😂wtf 😳🤮 the
Isn’t weed legal in ozzy now or something
How do i find you man. Dont kjiw how you found this dude. But all the bkack market marijuana in Aus is pgr crap. These guys are rare and come and go and are not reliable but sounds like you are growing decent strains. Good on you if thats what your really doing it for.
It’s not good for you pal, but it’s good for the pockets of the drug company’s who make them pills,, weed can be grown at home easily so they be loose money if they legalise it because people will grow they owne, even if they sell enough off it to NHS so on their is much more money in making them pills , it’s a corrupt world , and its all because of pice of paper that we all need to buy stuff and survive money
Canada been doing this for a very long time
This foos dope af!
It’s so wrong that information to help others from been so ill. look at the destruction of alcohol to family’s and community health, your can’t debate it, have you seen a hippie full of anger ? . It’s sad, bottom line , $$$$$$
Wish I knew these guys
Gotta say: Even though it comes off as super careless and risky, without iridium ski goggles and voice modulation, it really humanizes the growers.
I was given TGA approval for medicinal cannabis but it is a rip off.
The companies involved are just fleecing people who need medicine not marketing.
After my first course which were THC drops 3%(WEAK AS CATS PISS) they informed me the price was going up shortly so I should stock up.
At $200 a pop I passed up on their offer and am back to square one.
Oh how I wished I was in Canada or one of the states in America where it is legal.
I want to be able to choose what form of the herb I ingest not cats piss.😭😭😭
So…the government legalises but doctors resist the prescription because theirs no kick back, no pat on the head from the cannibus people. Unlike big farma who feed the doctor and are probably being groomed by the farma rep to resist prescribing cannibus…thats the game.
I hope there’s one in Syd
Do the same.
Respect muh dudes.
Exactly
Fu.k them all
Wake up Australia. God gave us this for a reason.

same.. as an Aussie to see these beautiful plants come to life from seed to flower is an amazing sight. its very peaceful. imagine getting your own house invaded by the system. broken. all your work, love..patience and care. just to be thrown away. then give you a fine or even worse.. its so cruel. unless you grow yourself you will never truely understand how amazing it feels to bring these babies into the world. I love both the girls and the boys equally.. pray for the growers in Australia and spread awareness. it can only help. I wish I live to see the day it becomes legalised. SPREAD THE WORD. save us..

Bro all they smoke out there is pgr weed, don’t nobody want that shit
it’s sad all the people who should watch the video are probably so ignorant they saw weed in the title and ignored it ahah
Moving to Australia hopefully end of next year. Good to see guys like this sharing the same beliefs
Weedborn’s CBD products are amazing!
Fantastic job. You guys deserve a medal and founding! Keep it up!
The Cannabis scheme is so deeply rooted in politics and big pharma. There’s just so much money being made by a few people who’ve conspired to pass the legalization bill that it has become impossible to change. Eliminate the syndicate first, then amend the laws. It’s the only way.
This just shows that there will be way less crime with this plant if they legalized it but if they legalized it can become corrupted by certain dispensaries
amazing
These fkin Media groups are trying to make people think that smoking weed is good WTF…
I’m sure 80 % will get addicted and be of no use to the society
a much needed service, good one guys and good luck. its a shame the australian government is so intertwined with pharmaceutical and brewing companies. fuck the pills, fuck the grog. self preservation shouldnt be a crime.

Nothing suspicious about two masked men eating biscuits lol
I can grow better than that….no offence!
Great content. Thanks. I agree cannabis is a perfect response to meet many needs, enhancing life in many ways and the piles of empty drug packaging is the reason it is unavailable. Too much money at stake. When the drug companies get the cannabis sales scheme in place it will become available.

Good people disobey bad laws. To those growers and caregivers keep fighting the good fight ✊🏻

Thank God for all of you. You’re the Guys and Gals that keep it bareable.
Absolutely bloody awesome guys, this brought a tears to my eyes… if there is anyway I can help, please let me know…
Ive never saw or heard of anyone using rotten milk to fertilize
They made us feel like criminals all our lives. Dirty politicians and dirty governments . We the people need a world wide full strike. Cheap marijuana please…..
This makes me cry every time I watch it.
The passion you guys have is just amazing. Need more growers like you.
I don’t understand why we in the us have it legal in most states mine as well, thank god lol but it’s a no brainer for so many reasons for Australia and the UK.
Interesting fact: CBD oil can stop growth and reduce size with tumours
Hold up you say people will rob and f you, yet the opening scene is you smashing down someone’s wall ?
Isn’t that been a hypocrite ?I do agree the war on drugs is a sham , it should be there to help the ill.
Smoke a tree , is not stealing, bashing up people ,abused children that’s the real crime !!!
