Welcome to my page,
I am a member of the Legislative Council in the Parliament of Western Australia for the Legalise Cannabis Party.
I am the 114th woman to be appointed to Parliament and the first woman to be voted into Parliament on a legalise cannabis platform. Legalising cannabis became very important to me after a journey I took with my mother down the medicinal cannabis path. The process was very difficult and expensive and I found something that could help my mother and so many other people was so difficult to do here in Australia, yet other countries in this world embrace cannabis and it's many benefits to human health.
I believe cannabis can help with the many environmental challenges our society faces in our very near future. We need to make society aware of the many and varied uses for cannabis and industrial hemp. I believe we should be creating many industries around industrial hemp including processing hemp for herd to build housing, insulation, carpets, food, compostable packaging and carbon capture, just to name a few.
Freedom of choice to smoke cannabis, just like you have the freedom to buy a beer from a regulated outlet and drink it should not have to be a choice between being law abiding or not. Cannabis should be regulated and taxed, just like alcohol. The many flavours and strengths of cannabis should also be available from a store, just as alcohol is
Have a look further into my website, or subscribe to my newsletter to find out more about how cannabis, and cannabis legalisation will give us all better access to freedom of choice, healthier medicine and products and a happier environment.
