Australia's Kings Of Cannabis

From pot publicity stunts to art installations and commercial growing operations, we chat to three of the country’s leading wizards of weed who are fast becoming the catalysts in the fight to legalise marijuana in Oz…

In the burgeoning Australian cannabis industry, there are a number of personalities that have been staples in the small yet-passionate community. Driven individuals who have been promoting legalisation and sensible cannabis reform for over a decade, and moving the conversation to the mainstream. Part of these efforts have been the public art installations by the Who Are We Hurting? team, consisting of artists and advocates from The Craze Collective company and athletes from the Ballin’ On A Budget media company. They have been responsible for a number of large-scale cannabis installations and publicity stunts on April 20 (aka 420, the international day for cannabis-related protests and events) for the past five years.

Cannabis legalisation may seem inevitable at this point, as we see the acceptance of cannabis (not only medicinally, but recreationally) become more and more accepted by the international community. For those in the know, it can be frustrating watching Australia lag behind our peers in this area, especially if you’ve dedicated much of your life to promoting legalisation or understanding the biology behind cannabis production. You’d be hard pressed to find many people more “in the know” than these local Kings of Cannabis.
