Legalise Cannabis Victoria

We had a blast yesterday at Sydney Road Street Party! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported us. There's never been a better time to volunteer for our grass-roots movement! 🔗 legalisecannabis.org.au/volunteer-home…

This morning, @rachelpayneMP & I stood with Angelina, who experienced discrimination simply for taking prescribed medication. This discrimination is what our Equal Opportunity Amendment (Medical Treatment) Bill aims to stamp out. Debate will kick off b/w 3:30-3:50pm. #SpringSt

No one should face discrimination for taking care of their health. Thank you to sporting greats Lauren Jackson, Alastair Clarkson and Damien Oliver for backing our Equal Opportunity Amendment (Medical Treatment) Bill.

For many, taking medication isn’t a choice — it’s survival. #DignityNotDiscrimination

Did you know? In Victoria, you can be legally discriminated against because of your medication/medical treatment when seeking: 💼 employment 🏠 housing 🎓 education 💷 services To put it bluntly — it’s a disgrace. 🧵

We're trending, folks. #viral #funny #springst

It was great to get out with the @lcvicparty Seedlings last weekend to take the BIG JOINT for a walk through beautiful downtown Sunshine. Their mission is to educate on harm reduction, patient rights, and cannabis solutions for everyday challenges.

"A landmark retrospective bill to increase justice for victims and survivors of institutional abuse is expected to pass in Victoria’s Parliament with bipartisan support, following strong advocacy from a local MP". tinyurl.com/s5ydd8kr

If an abuser has been found guilty, should their sentence be shortened if they're of "good character"? I don't think so. Kudos to the good work of Harrison James and Jared Grice in the campaign of #YourReferenceAin'tRelevant. #springst #auspol

It's game on, folks — Parliament returns on 3 Feb, and I can't wait. #SpringSt

Last year, police spent 58,000 hours processing charges of personal cannabis use. Imagine if that time had been spent going after real criminals.

Every single Labor MP voted against our motion to decriminalise cannabis. In doing so, they ignored the evidence, the community, and the wishes of their own members. The Allan Labor government continue to stick their heads in the sand, and it's beyond disappointing.

Today, the Vic Upper House will debate our motion to decriminalise cannabis as a simple and modest step towards a legal market. We’re wearing ‘Labour for cannabis reform’ t-shirts to remind the government that their own members have voted for change. It's time. #SpringSt

📣 48 hours to go! On Wednesday, the upper house will debate our motion — which isn't about our policy for a change ... it's all about Labor's. #SpringSt #RelaxTheLaws 🧵 (1/10)

Why are we wasting police resources on a victimless crime? With everything that's going on in Victoria, is arresting people for having a joint really a good use of taxpayers' $$? Today, we introduced a motion calling on the govt to get serious and decriminalise cannabis. 🧵

A powerful coalition of community, health, and legal voices has today written to the Premier, demanding the Allan Labor Government reconsider its refusal to decriminalise cannabis.

It was a great show of strength by the Victorian cannabis community at Parliament today. The fight continues. FREE THE WEED! #SpringSt

Great job @lcvicparty Volunteers!

.@rachelpayneMP and I were joined today by former HH Magistrate Tony Parsons to call out the Allan Government's failure to show courage on cannabis law reform. Continuing to arrest 4000 Victorians every year for cannabis possession is bad policy and worse politics. #SpringSt

The Allan Labor Government is walking away from sensible cannabis law reform. To put it mildly, we’re pissed. #SpringSt

Victoria's #Treaty is beyond politics. It is the right thing to do. #TreatyForVictoria #TruthTelling #Reconciliation
