From Criminal To Patient in Australia – Medicinal Cannabis Vlog April 2020

Please comment if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them all in a follow-up video.

Unsure about the process of becoming a legal consumer in Australia, I am quickly informed of routes to take, although, some don’t go quite as planned.

Follow me on my emotional & expensive journey from being an unlawful drug user to becoming a medical cannabis patient.

I show you how to access medicinal cannabis in Australia, with a detailed log of the costs involved in the process.

    Had the quality of bud improved in the 8 months since this video? A mate of mine has a script for 22% thc afgan blend and he says its amazing.

    You got so jacked. You should be getting 30-40% thc content. Get β€˜rocky’ it’s the Aussie equivalent of el Jeffe from USA. It’s the racka. Sorry your first experience sucked. If you need a hand, just reach out😊

  10. MrSpellicup on August 31, 2021 at 11:09 pm

  17. 420MadBloke on August 31, 2021 at 11:18 pm

    Disgusting rubbish, pre-chopped flower and heavily diluted oil. What a joke



  18. Fratele Everglade on August 31, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    wow 3 weeks is no time at all i was expecting 12 months for tga approval



  19. Fratele Everglade on August 31, 2021 at 11:22 pm

    I have a legal patient for a year now. The process and system still has a long way too go and the price of some product is expensive compared too the black market especially the oils. Some of the flower (bud form not pre ground) I have got has been hit and miss, especially the T20 indica a 18-20% THC by Cannatrek and for $210 for 10g I think the product could be more consistent in quality just like supermarkets do with vegetables ect The Bedrocan Afina aka Jack Herer (*22%) is good, nice morning smoke, terps are strong and flavour is nice like pine/mint. However it’s just been discovered that BEDROCAN has been misleading with the % and their product is being investigated and taken of the program atm. I also have tried the T20 oil 20mg 25ml oil and for myself it wasn’t very effective. I have now just been approved for a ANTG Solace at 22% THC, ANTG ROCKY INDICA aka El Jefe at 30% THC and a MEDCAN CC01 21% THC. So see how it gos with them products. So far I am pleased and it does save me the hassle of buying untested inferior black market products and the containers come in handy if anything. So yes we still have a lot of improvements too make here in Australia and the Medical Cannabis industry but at least it’s a start and we can hopefully move forward too a better suited program for all! πŸ€™

  24. MR e on August 31, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    I have been suffering from lower back pain for 19 years and keep it in check with paracetamol and opioids! For the past 2 years i have asked for a prescription for CBD oil and NOT flower but all the doctors say NO and look at me like a drug addict but i don’t smoke pot! But they are more than happy to keep giving me scripts for Tramadol!!! Crazy

    This is awesome β™₯️

    Can ADD, Autism, depression or Anxiety disorders be covered for medical weed in NSW?



  29. Miguel Martin on August 31, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    fuck yeah, been waiting for this to come out!



  30. dragonxxx261 on August 31, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Yo great video! Shows the good and the bad sides and the road to get it. This video encourage me to get on it myself. Thought I wouldn’t have a chance but now I think there’s hope!



  31. Luke 1974 on August 31, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    I haven’t looked in to this much . Is it available in Queensland ?



  32. Willys World on August 31, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    Radical good work guys!!



  33. cR Marm on August 31, 2021 at 11:40 pm

    The progress is awesome but no one is gonna switch from black market where 5 grams is $50 and its actually some well grown dank, unlike their crap. Why do we have to try and reinvent the wheel legalization in Canada has been showing us the way for a long while now. We need to be able to grow our own at the very least medical customers, its the only way this could ever work the way people need it. – Rant over



  34. Lawrence O’Neill on August 31, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    Awesome video! I have my first appointment in 5 weeks. Anything I can say to get something stronger?



  35. RypienGT on August 31, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    its unusual that yours was pre chopped, most are bud. Perhaps due to the fact that its a combo low dose THC/CBD mix.



  36. Catfish O'Hanlon on August 31, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    14:01 .. For this kind of money only the super rich can afford the substance, 250$ for 10 grams of Aussie Rock @ 28.35 grams per ounce makes something over 700$ per oz, which is over twice the price of street bought black market weed .. the only way to counter the ripoff is to have legal home growing and "farmer’s markets."



  37. Stella Soul Intuition on August 31, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    love this πŸ™‚ thanks for all this info! and super happy for you ! ❀️



  38. kathyfield9 on August 31, 2021 at 11:45 pm

    Better off on the black market, they didn’t know you were on it and it was way cheaper, that synthetic shit will kill you.



  39. Woodsy Dayz on August 31, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    Im on cannatrex T20 cost me 195 for 10g jar of buds unchopped, other is tillray 25 25%thc 135$ for 5gram jar



  40. the_audiophiles on August 31, 2021 at 11:48 pm

    Nice



  41. Alastair Sim on August 31, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    That is absolutely disgraceful that those GPs wouldn’t give you a referral. I hope that you told them you’d never see them again. They are abandoning their duty of care.



  42. Brett Henry on August 31, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    Book for 4:20 LOL



  43. David Gillman on August 31, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    Medicinal Cannabis is a medical necessity for all those of us who and seriously ill with a multitude of chronic medical conditions and cancers and have been consuming metabolically poisonous Vegetable seed extracted cooking oils in our diets. The solution is to go Vegan and take medical-grade polyvalent cannabis supplementation until you are better while getting all vegetable oils out of your diet. You can use some polysaturated animal-based fats/oils, that are in all animal products if you are not quite so worried about living as long as reasonably possible while remaining perfectly healthy. The logic and the references are all in my 75-page booklet which I can email you. Request at email: dgillman47@gmail.com



  44. Colleen Webber on August 31, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    Don’t forget if you are caught driving with enough THC to register in a drug test you will still have to go through the legal system. Unfortunately the laws haven’t changed to reflect prescription medication. Great video.



  45. Jordi Kostiuk on August 31, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    $170 for 5 grams?!?!?! Ludicrous… Pharmacudical rip off
