Tell us, friends – is there anything more glorious than an elected representative (a state premier, no less) wading through a resplendent garden of medicinal ganja?
The answer is no, there is definitely not.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews posted an update to the state’s medicinal marijuana trial today, announcing that it’s now entering phase two and they’re looking to see how the trial can be expanded beyond helping kids suffering from severe epilepsy.
And while this news is bloody fantastic and all – particularly for the thousands of people and their families dealing with everything from anxiety to cancer who are unable to access medicinal marijuana right now – he accompanied the Facebook post with some of the greatest political photography the world has ever seen.
Accompanying this bloody treasure trove of pics was this message from our mate Dan:
“Last month, I visited a secret facility,” he wrote.
“I can’t tell you where it is, but I can tell you what’s going on there.
“It’s where we’re growing Victoria’s first crop of medicinal cannabis – a crop that will improve the lives of hundreds upon hundreds of kids suffering from severe epilepsy.
“I can also tell you that, as of today, our trial is entering phase two, and experts are looking at how our medicinal cannabis scheme can be expanded to other patients with different conditions.
“The bottom line is this: we’re going to save a lot of lives.”
We have no doubt you are, son. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
