In Western Australia, something powerful is happening. Dr Brian Walker has spent years fighting for a simple truth: patients who follow their doctor’s advice should not be punished for it. Right now, too many people using prescribed medicinal cannabis are losing their licences even when they are completely unimpaired. It’s heartbreaking and unfair, forcing people to choose between relief and independence. Brian is working to change that.

At Parliament House a few weeks ago, the We Drive Change event brought patients, advocates and professionals together with one shared belief—compassion and common sense must guide our laws. Thanks to supporters like Health House International, the message is spreading fast. Reform is no longer a question of if, but when.

Brian has also been in the local newspapers recently talking about his next goal: should Western Australia hold a cannabis referendum at the next State Election, so the people can finally have their say?

Meanwhile, WA is lacing up for something special at 420 next year... The Cape to Cape for Cannabis walk is set to stretch across the stunning Margaret River coastline from 17 to 20 April. Every step taken helps fund research and support patients who need better access. Imagine the ocean breeze, the sun on your face and the knowledge that each footstep helps move Australia closer to compassion, understanding and freedom. Grab your tickets now!
