Andrew Irving – Medical Cannabis Adjournment
I am proud to call Andrew Irving a friend. He grew cannabis at home to create a medical tincture and topical cream for his wife, Marilyn, to alleviate her excruciating pain when conventional treatments failed.
Unfortunately, Andrew’s kindness was exploited, leading to severe charges.
Andrew has lost his life savings, suffered a fine of over $40,000, and dealt with the aftermath of an unjust system. His only motivation was to help others, and a person like him deserves compassion, not punishment. There is a GoFundMe campaign https://vist.ly/3n46u4j to support Andrew during this difficult time.
It’s time to reform outdated drug laws in Tasmania and treat drug use as a health issue rather than a criminal one.
