Its time to mobilise ✊ please add your voice to the growing numbers 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

By now you’re probably aware of the upcoming changes in legislation adopted by DVA.

Many of us recognise these changes do not support the wellbeing of veterans and their families.

It’s disheartening to see this type of action against veterans after all the findings and recommendations of the Royal Commission.

Please sign and circulate the petition if you havent already. Enlist your local and state politicians , media, your family and friends.

This page has always been about safe access to cannabis medicine while reducing harm and su***de in the veteran community.

We should expose and curtail the providers who refuse to clean up their act but don’t punish patients for this broken system.

This Joe Rogan Experience features former Governor Rick Perry and other experts advocating for Ibogaine, a psychoactive plant compound showing promising results in treating opioid addiction, PTSD, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). They explain how Ibogaine has the unique ability to reset the brain, address addiction at a physiological level, and reverse neurodegenerative damage.

Perry recounts his journey from skepticism to advocacy, citing personal experiences with veterans and research showing that Ibogaine could revolutionise mental health care. Advocates stress that this treatment must be administered in controlled clinical settings due to risks, such as cardiac issues, which can be mitigated with proper protocols. They discuss Texas's legislative initiative to fund $50 million for Ibogaine clinical trials, potentially making the state a leader in this field. The conversation also addresses broader societal issues, like systemic failures in veteran care and the opioid epidemic, proposing Ibogaine as a potential breakthrough in addressing these crises.

🌿🇦🇺 The Case for Cannabis Legalisation: Lessons from Florida and Beyond 🇦🇺

In a surprising outcome, over 55% of voters in conservative Florida supported cannabis legalisation—defying political norms and demonstrating that this is no longer a left vs right issue. Whether for civil liberties, harm reduction, or economic benefits, the global momentum behind legal cannabis is undeniable.

🏛️ Here in Australia, public support has surged past 50%, with diverse voices calling for change. Isn’t it time we trusted Australians to have their say?

Key points to consider:
✅ Freedom of Choice: Adults should have the right to make decisions about their own lives.
✅ Harm Reduction: Treat cannabis use as a health issue, not a criminal one.
✅ Economic Benefits: Legalisation creates jobs, generates tax revenue, and reduces organised crime.
✅ Direct Democracy: Why not let the people decide in a referendum, just as Florida and other regions have done?

It’s time for New South Wales to embrace the benefits of modern democracy and let the people’s voice be heard. Let’s break the stigma, trust in the community, and pave the way for sensible, evidence-based cannabis laws.

💬 What do you think? Should Australians decide cannabis reform through a referendum?

John Ruddick has just introduced a bill that will return direct democracy to NSW, by handing over the question of cannabis to the citizens.Last week, conserv...

🌱 A Step Forward for Personal Freedoms in NSW? 🌱

While the article highlights that over 90% of people caught with small quantities of drugs in NSW are still being criminalised, it also brings an important conversation to the forefront: the balance between law enforcement and personal freedoms.

Reforms aiming to divert users from the criminal justice system towards education and health services represent a progressive step, but these statistics show there's still work to be done to make this vision a reality.

For Australians using small amounts of medical or recreational substances, this is a reminder of the ongoing tension between outdated punitive approaches and the need for compassionate, evidence-based policy. A true commitment to diversion reforms would prioritise personal autonomy and health over stigma and punishment.

This is a chance to advocate for a fairer system that respects personal freedoms, reduces harm, and ensures that support—not criminalisation—is the first response. Let's keep pushing for reforms that reflect our values of care, dignity, and freedom.

What are your thoughts on the direction NSW is taking? Let us know below! 👇
