To my aussie bretheren,
As Im sure many of you know there was an feature story last night on channel 7 Sunday Night program about young 24yr old Dan Haslam and his petition for access to medical MJ.
here is the story-
https://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/features/a/24234836/marijuana-the-illegal-medicine/
The opportunity for change is at hand. Its time to come out of the shadows & be counted.
This terminally ill young man and his family appear to be the beacons to champion access to MMJ here in Oz.
Alan Jones is on board and there already seems to be a softening of the original Govt stance.
Pls sign the petition here-
if you are able, pls encourage friends and family to do so.

These people have really put themselves out there and into harms way by going public.
But its true, its the conversation Australia needs to have.
I urge all of you to pls take a few minutes to email & sign the petition. This media attention is creating an opportunity for us to have 'the talk' within the general space of our lives.
You dont have to 'out' yourself, but voicing your opinion of compassion for the sick is a good thing.
This is a chance to maybe change peoples minds or at least get them thinking about doing things differently.
Maybe, just maybe the winds of change have started to blow over here & any start is a good start.
