® MEDICINAL CANNABIS & HEMP GUIDE © AN INFORMATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL NEWSLETTER TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF MEDICINAL CANNABIS AND HEMP. A LIFE SAVING, NATURAL GROWING HERB. TO HELP REMOVE THE "UNWARRANTED'' STIGMA THAT HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO IT AND TO DISPEL THE MYTHS SURROUNDING ITS USE Compiled by Andrew Irving - Medicinal Cannabis & Hemp Tasmania® Passionate Advocate for the Legalisation of Medicinal Cannabis September / October 2018 - Issue 18 ISSN 2206-2807 Hello everyone Sadly we lose another canna warrior “Richelle Lincoln” R.I P. Read about her in this issue, as we send our heart felt condolences to family and friends. So Canada leaps ahead and legalises Cannabis, and where do we find ourselves in this backward nation of Australia??? Yes, you guessed it, absolutely nowhere, dare I say baby steps?? And if that’s the case it’s a very small baby with short legs…. If that isn’t bad enough, we now hear South Australia is going in the opposite direction, back to the dark ages, and wanting to quadruple cannabis pocession fines, with long jail sentences. For a “herb” ????? If it wasn’t so seriously ridiculous it would indeed be laughable. Little Green Trailer Tasmania is moving along in leaps and bounds, having been invited to various events. Read about it, and how you can assist in this issue also. The thirst for MC education is phenomenal, and growing, which is keeping us very busy. I have zero interest in politics, however, here in Tasmania the opposition Labor party have shown massive interest in this cause for legalisation. The Tasmania Labor party fully support my work, hence I make no apologies for supporting them in their quest to be the next Government of Tasmania. Those of you who also have zero interest in politics, but do support Medicinal Cannabis, please check out Labor members in your area, get to know them, remember their name and face and support them across the line at the next elections. Labor WILL make this happen in Tasmania. Enjoy the read.

Vale Richelle Lincoln 1987 – 2018 (13th December 1987 - 13th July 2018) This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write. Words seem inadequate. This morning the world lost a beautiful woman. This morning Richelle passed away and the Sun lost some of its shine. Many, many in the cannabis community loved Richelle. Her compassion, strength and integrity knew no bounds. Having survived Leukaemia and the loss of their beautiful baby girl Angel; David and Richelle - a formidable team were then blessed miraculously with their two beautiful babies, both a true testament of their love for each other. Their determination to make their world, our world a better place in a world that had previously shown them no mercy was nothing but admirable. Richelle was fearless and a loud voice in the truth about cannabis medicine. Such a young woman but a fighter as big as Ali; nothing would stand in the way of Richelle speaking her truth. There are many within our community that would not be the proud advocates we are today had it not been for Richelle's brazen at times honesty regarding our plant. Guided and supported by her mum Deb and partner David, the stunning, petite blonde beauty we all loved defied Doctors, argued in the face of prohibition and did it all with that beautiful smile. I ask you all today, to stop and give thanks to the woman who gave so much. The woman we all miss so greatly and to honour her the best way we can - to continue our fight against prohibition and continue to speak our truth about our plant to all those that cross our path, as Richelle did time and time again. We need to do this with integrity and kindness, unified for all of those that have gone before us but led the way to get us where we are today. A gofundme for Richelle has been set up, (gofundme link next page) as she has left behind her devoted partner David and two very young, beautiful children. It seems the least we can do - whether its $1 or $100 every cent will help. In closing, on behalf of the Cannabis Community I want to send an abundance of love and support to Deb, David and the whole of Richelle's family. Please know there are 100's across Australia devastated for your loss. We grieve with you. We stand by your sides sending strength and giving thanks for the privilege of knowing the amazing woman that you call daughter and partner. We love you Richelle. Rest in paradise with your Angel. Until we meet again Becky Bee xoxo “Feeling Broken” I'm not sure that I’m ok Don’t even think I’m fine I’m empty on the inside But not inside my mind My mind can’t stop thinking What more could I have done I really can’t stop wondering When everything went wrong I’m not really here anymore Just a shell of me you see My life is very sad now Its messed up in every way I can’t call you on the phone I can’t see you anymore I can’t get used to this I feel so very alone I’m messed up really bad I can’t live without my child Its hard just getting out of bed I’m just so very very sad. By Mum (Debbie) xoxo https://www.gofundme.com/richelles-children Editor: I never had the privilege of knowing Richelle, but I do know what her family and friends are gong through, having my own canna angel in Marilyn R.I.P. Richelle and Marilyn, along with all those other beautiful souls who fought so hard, are all together now, and would be proud of the work we do in their honour. Their respective journeys continue.. all our love, may you Rest in Peace xo (Andrew) The History of the Pharma Cartel Published by Dr Rath Heath Foundation May 2017 This was also the time when the first vitamins were discovered.
