Olivia Newton John Actress & Singer I am delighted to support Lucy’s compassionate campaign to make medicinal cannabis available to anyone in need. Science continues to show many healing qualities of this medicinal plant. I have found it very beneficial on my cancer journey.

Dick Smith “Compassionate access to Medicinal Cannabis would appear to be sensible, this issue should be dealt with, without further delay." "No one should be suffering needlessly in Australia”
Dr Alex Wodak "Medicinal cannabis should be lawfully provided to people suffering from distressing symptoms in conditions where there is reasonably good evidence of benefit and where conventional medicines have not brought sufficient relief and/or resulted in unacceptable side effects.

Roshani Priddis Singer Songwriter "The legalisation of Medicinal Cannabis production and use will have far reaching and profoundly positive effects on our community.

Dr Peter Wakefield PRD MBBS FRACP OAM "I feel honoured to be a part of this exciting new era of the use of Medicinal Cannabis."
John Williamson Singer Songwriter "To me the idea of using Medicinal Cannabis for people in pain, or with epilepsy, is a no-brainer.

Lara Giddings 44th Premier of Tasmania “The momentum across the nation for change around laws governing Medicinal Cannabis is unstoppable.

Greg Barns "Access to Medicinal Cannabis is a human rights issue. Australians who are suffering serious illnesses or living with chronic pain need to be able to access medications that assist them in having a better life. Medical Cannabis is one of those medications. There is simply no reason why legi...
