Who Are We Hurting? Army Operation ‘Driving with THC, shouldn’t make you an enemy’ The war on drugs has been a highly contentious issue, with advocates on both sides fiercely debating the effectiveness of current drug policies. To raise awareness about the failures of the war on drugs and more specifically the unjust driving legislation medicinal cannabis patients are victim to, the ‘Who Are We Hurting?’ army has commandeered a fleet of military vehicles to deliver the facts directly to news outlets while returning to the scene of the “crime” of their prior 420 protests, which left activists Alec ‘Craze’ Zammitt & Will Stolk currently on bail. The pair were joined by other activists, as they drove a military-style motorcade of armoured military vehicles, including a tank over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Sydney Opera House, the scene of the “crime” they committed last year and have pending charges for. Who Are We Hurting? 420 2023 Miguel Martin Andrew Christie Jeremy Buckingham rode along as his first day in office as elected Member of Parliament for the Legalise Cannabis NSW party. Alec Zammitt gave a comment on this year’s Who Are We Hurting? 420 protest saying, “This visual statement aims to highlight the need for a new approach to drug-driving policy, one that prioritises harm reduction and treatment over punishment and incarceration. “Driving with THC, shouldn’t make you an enemy” “Driving laws need change, Cannabis patients deserve equal range” Said Alec Zammitt Will Stolk added, “We want to publicise the discussion around cannabis in Australia and ask the government, who would be hurt by an amnesty?” “We also want to educate the Australian taxpayer on the benefits of fully legalizing cannabis in Australia. There is a huge amount of money that will flow into the coffers of the Australian government, for use in healthcare, schools, and roads, from the tax excise that will be taken from legalized cannabis. “We also want to highlight the fact that the 75-plus year war on drugs hasn’t worked and has cost the taxpayer billions of dollars fighting a war that cannot and will not ever be won.” @Crazeske & @Willysworld69 Shot by Miguel Martin, Andrew Christie & @Thisiszepha.

There's a fresh push to legalise cannabis in WA coming from the political party with the same name. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWqxGEhGeic

As of July 1 all GP's in Tasmania can prescribe medicinal cannabis products. Tasmania was the only jurisdiction in Australia where GPs could not prescribe medicinal cannabis to patients. Patients could only get legal access to the drug through a medical specialist, like a neurologist. Tasmanian GPs are now able to seek permission through the Therapeutic Goods Administration. GPs will need to apply for each patient individually through the national streamlined online application pathway and they will receive authorisation as to whether they can prescribe within 48 hours. Patients who are successfully prescribed medicinal cannabis through a GP will then get their script filled at private pharmacies. Prior to this all prescribed medicinal cannabis through the Controlled Access Scheme is dispensed at Tasmanian Health Service pharmacies in hospitals and is given out a heavily subsidised rate by the State Government. Specialists will still be able to prescribe under the changes and it is understood patients who get scripts that way will still get medication at a subsidised rate.
