    Legalise cannabis nationwide : 3 plants each person can grow -> save tax payers money. No more illegal money, spending money on investigating, arresting cannabis crimes, syndycate houses, prisons etc..



  11. Lelli Brown on May 16, 2022 at 4:33 pm

    Such a shame that this is being run by a Canadian company – we have enough expertise to establish a 100% Australian owned medicinal cannabis farm. Why on earth are we giving all the profits to Canada? ….oh sorry I forgot corporate and big pharma influence !! And meanwhile in NSW a young man was convicted of growing 3 pot plants!! We live in a crazy upside down world.



  12. Aussie Grows on May 16, 2022 at 4:33 pm

    At 600+ a ounce for medical cannabis just go to your local dealer. Least he charges half



  13. oudonbail on May 16, 2022 at 4:35 pm

    very expensive for a plant you can grow for free easily



  14. Solo Runner on May 16, 2022 at 4:37 pm

    Grow it smoke it, cost nexted to nothing about from some water and plant feed



  15. James Wilkinson on May 16, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Its wrong how we made people criminals for this but now theres big money in it . its all fine. Seems like the ones who were persecuted from this should profit not the money men.



  16. Aussie Sheriff on May 16, 2022 at 4:39 pm

    Legalise Cannabis Australia, it’s inevitable and overdue, why politics are stopping access is because of lobbyist in Alcohol and Tobacco. Medicinal and recreational it’s call being grown ups. It’s a flowering herb with a multitude of benefits.



  17. Daniel Miles on May 16, 2022 at 4:41 pm

    Greedy pigs all about the money what next you’re going to ban aloe vera so you can sell it as well



  18. Joshua on May 16, 2022 at 4:42 pm

    This should be covered under either health insurance or government subsidies and healthcare. These prices are insane!



  19. skate n destroy on May 16, 2022 at 4:43 pm

    Should just be another market product like any other herb or vegetables ie: tomatoes,chilli etc!!! No corporate commercial brand name controls!



  20. BMWO Canada on May 16, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    HOLLY MOLLY! That’s so large! I want to visit and volunteer to pick those lovelies!



  21. Dwayne Callow on May 16, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    Australian government hard on drugs, Australian government join the drugs trade to make money



  22. A Last on May 16, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    Instead of some large company making huge profits off of cannabis why not have Mum and Dad businesses growing to spread the wealth around of this emerging product. With Drug and alcohol testing on the roads and work places why not just legalise pot and Tax its sale to offset the declining revenue from dwindling tobacco and petrol taxes. It’s safer than alcohol or should we just ban all drugs which includes alcohol, coffee, tea etc? As a added point the Australian Government receives 8 billion dollars a year from tobacco taxes from which 250 million is used for cancer related medical treatments that leaves $7.750.000.000 for the government to do with as they wish. I fully realise it’s not as simple as I put it but someone somewhere in Government with two brain cells could come up with a solution so it benefits, not just people who need cannabis for medical reasons but also creating opportunities for small business instead of big pharma taking our money overseas.



  23. Uncle on May 16, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    We need more medial help in Melbourne😭



  24. Adam Robinson on May 16, 2022 at 4:48 pm

    Different strains for different brains



  25. Mick Carson on May 16, 2022 at 4:49 pm

    You poor sick buzzards. You need drugs to be sane? Really, I mean really? 🙄 how did I manage growing and living without drugs??



  26. Smokescreen TV on May 16, 2022 at 4:49 pm

    Bong on



  27. worthAmillion on May 16, 2022 at 4:49 pm

    This is going to help so many people but how are people on the pension able to purchase this stuff ? Not to mention the system does not have any bulk billed doctor’s which costs almost 120$ per doctor appointment just to get a script or to give them a update. Not mention the waiting time for the TGA approvals and all application fees.. think about the people who need it but can’t work for a full-time wage due to work related injuries or born defects etc and just medically need it. and they have to fork out alot of money to be able to gain this medication, How are they meant to even get into this scheme. I think they need to look into fully legalizing full aspects to be able to grow your own on certain regulations here in australia. That way people can consume and produce on a small scale there own natural medication for " self medication purposes only"



  28. The Brave One Studio on May 16, 2022 at 4:50 pm

    Really should drop a resume off to those guys 😉



  29. chill live on May 16, 2022 at 4:53 pm

    Pesticides and canced incoming



  30. The life and times on May 16, 2022 at 4:54 pm

    I’ve test the THC level in medical cannabis. You’re getting lied to. Had so called medical 20% flower, it tested at 11% THC. I can grow 30% THC myself.
    Don’t get me started on the 20% oil tested at 8% THC!



  31. j logan on May 16, 2022 at 4:54 pm

    they started for patience but soon or later will ended up seeing addicts walking like zombie in the streets like america



  32. AB 4b on May 16, 2022 at 4:55 pm

    Deport that farm



  33. OFF CLAN on May 16, 2022 at 4:55 pm

    You have to be kidding me



  34. Gülcihan Radoslu on May 16, 2022 at 5:00 pm

    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….



  35. Farcup Repair on May 16, 2022 at 5:03 pm

    Look at all the potential revenue Scomo. Pay off the covid debt

    Medical Cannabis and a Good Diet are a medical necessity for all those of us who have been innocently and ignorantly consuming such hard to avoid Mitochondrial Poisonous Polyunsaturated Vegetable Oils in our diets and got one or more of many more modern thus Metabolically Caused Diseases and CANCERS. These barely existed before about 1900 when industrially manufactured Vegetable Seed Oils and foods started becoming available. You need to exclude all manufactured snacks, takeaways, restaurant fried and manufactured foods to avoid all these vegetable oils. The ideal solution for ultimate healthy longevity is to go fully VEGAN and take Cannabis Supplementation to boost your damaged Endocannabinoid System until you are better (maybe 2 years or so) while getting all vegetable seed extract, typical industrially refined cooking oils out of your diet. You certainly can use some polysaturated animal food-based oil/fat, that is in all animal products if you are not quite so ill or worried about living as long as reasonably possible while remaining perfectly healthy. Best luck from your optimally self reeducated and friendly family Dr David who wants to see you be actually cured of all the modern diseases that are definitely so dietary-based in origin.



  37. wildcardnt on May 16, 2022 at 5:06 pm

    Too bad most of it will be shipped overseas, and our corrupt TGA will continue pushing us to pills. This will only be allowed as a last resort.



  38. Kiwiwarrior420 on May 16, 2022 at 5:07 pm

    This doesn’t change anything ya controlling government bastards,You always were and always will be a straight up a pack of dropkicks that just want to control our lives through your lies n bullshit,F.T.S!!!



  39. Justin Doherty on May 16, 2022 at 5:07 pm

    Bro I can get it online for my wife she has endometriosis and it helps her a lot



  40. oudonbail on May 16, 2022 at 5:08 pm

    imagine paying thousands for apples



  41. Nathan Ashburner on May 16, 2022 at 5:09 pm

    About time



  42. A Last on May 16, 2022 at 5:09 pm

    It’s about time. I must say that Seven News besides Sky are the only news outlets that allow comments on youtube. What are the others afraid of?



  43. Haytchiee Kay on May 16, 2022 at 5:11 pm

    Does anyone know if they are still hiring…?Asking for a friend :L



  44. vote independent for independence on May 16, 2022 at 5:14 pm

    Why would you pay 90k a yr for something that literally grows like a weed? Imagine paying 90k a year for dandelions or clover. This is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t let government get too big. Infrastructure and defence is all we need from them, when it costs 90k a year to get medicine you could safely and easily grow yourself, you are not even close to living in a free society.



  45. Reece Godbehere-Mills on May 16, 2022 at 5:15 pm

    We must have marijuana legal in Australia just like other countries.



  46. YetiLyf & Chill on May 16, 2022 at 5:16 pm

    Can you imagine how much more money they would make if it were cheaper, being more affordable for the average income earner.



  47. Joanne Marc on May 16, 2022 at 5:18 pm

    Fucking wat 90k a year someone’s getting rich off that scumbags



  48. Pinocchio on May 16, 2022 at 5:18 pm

    nice the people that sell it get jail time but when government sell it all good ..we need to lookup all the people in government for suggesting this … but then in other hand all the people on centerlink can now get jobs in weed farms



  49. Dane Russell on May 16, 2022 at 5:20 pm

    So they grow it , though we cannot ,
    then charge us up the a** . . . seems legit



  50. Medi-Grow Australia on May 16, 2022 at 5:23 pm

    Finally were on the right step, but patients need to be able to grow their own medicine so that they can be sure they know exactly what was used to grow it, theres alot of dodgey legal government cannabis products in America, coz people just after a quick $ and not putting the patients health first
