95bFM: Marijuana Media

For Marijuana Media this week, Chris speaks with us about legal hemp without a license and declaring intent to grow hemp. Also featuring an update on New South Wales' changes to Roadside Testing, Everlee Wihongi's possession charge being vacated, and Gandalf. Thanks to The Hempstore!

Then, the healthcare backlog for prescriptions, and a Blenheim woman who admitted to selling cannabis to RSE workers told police she did it because otherwise they would be “ripped off” by other dealers. Good news: revoking the Industrial Hemp Regulations will usher in big changes for local industries.   Thanks to The Hempstore!
