Finally the Karma Koala podcast can return home to “Girt – By The Sea” and for the first time we discuss Australia and how things are currently working in the land of “Prawn on the Barbie” .. where, to be honest, people are much likely to be eating a Pad Thai or a Schnitty in 2024.
Melanie Wentzel is a health care professional who has moved over to the cannabis sector and brings with her a wealth of expertise to the Australian cannabis market and in this conversation helps us understand how the Australian Federal & State government(s) both think and operate in this quickly growing (currently) medical only market.
We discuss amongst other things
- The Australian Medical Cannabis Marrket
- Rules & Regs
- Govt Agencies
- Federal & State
- Politics
- Advertising Issues
