SUMMARY:Cannabis as a Psychedelic - the respectful use of this plant medicine for deep therapeutic enquiry
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paul Benhaim\, Chief Cannabis Officer of Cannabis Psychedelics\nAbout: Cannabis is a true psychedelic. Despite consuming cannabis for 3 decades\, and working with this plant professionally for much of this time – it was only in the last few years that I realised how powerful cannabis can be when used intentionally for wellness\, healing and trauma resolution. This ‘technology’ can be blended with other technologies such as the use of frequency\, terpenes and psychology to provide a profound experience which some say is as powerful as DMT or Ayahuasca. Cannabis is safe and far more cost effective than MDMA or Psilocybin treatment in Australia and is available legally today in the Northern Rivers and throughout Australia. Learn more about what this therapy is and how it can help support your life and those of your loved ones. \nBio: Paul Benhaim has been working in the cannabis and hemp space for more than 2 decades. Founder of Hemp Foods Australia\, Elixinol and currently Chairman of The Hemp Plastic Company – Paul founded the modality of Cannabis Psychedelics in Australia. He has successfully trained up facilitators nationally with his friends -Doctors\, Psychologists\, Psychiatrists\, Historians and Cannabis experts globally. Based in the Northern Rivers\, Paul travels the world constantly and now works for the US Government to help support the growth of hemp globally.

SUMMARY:Hippies are healers
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rohan Dawson\, Medical Cannabis Advocate\nAbout: A personal story about a first responders cannabis journey post medical retirement due to PTSD. \nBio: Former first responder whom sought relief in medical marijuana. I discovered the potency of the product was unsuitable for my needs. I sought education and support through the Hemp Embassy whom warmly welcomed me. The Embassy provided a wealth of information that aided my health journey. I believe the hippies are better placed to assist people in their cannabis journey as opposed to profit driven companies.

SUMMARY:How we will win the war on weed - a green new deal
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Senator David Shoebridge\, Greens Senator for NSW\nAbout: The war on weed is a total buzzkill—it’s outdated\, expensive\, and everyone knows it doesn’t work. While other countries are cashing in on legal cannabis\, Aussies are still getting criminal records for owning a plant. It’s time to flip the script\, and the Greens are here to make it happen. \nJoin us for a chat on how we can finally legalise cannabis in Australia—and why the Greens are leading the charge. Greens Senator and Justice Spokesperson David Shoebridge has a fully costed plan to make it happen\, ensuring a safe and well-regulated market that benefits everyday Australians instead of organised crime. \nIn 2024\, the Greens introduced laws to legalise cannabis\, but the major parties voted them down—ignoring public support and the clear benefits of reform. But this isn’t the end. Momentum is growing\, and with enough public pressure\, we will make legal cannabis a reality. \nLegal cannabis means safer products\, no more pointless arrests\, and a fairer system. Under the Greens’ plan\, you’ll be able to buy it from licensed dispensaries and cafes or grow up to six plants at home. No more dodgy deals—just a safe\, smart\, and chill industry with an emphasis on quality and sustainability. \nImagine walking into a dispensary and choosing from a range of fair trade\, organically grown cannabis—free from harmful pesticides and produced by ethical\, small-scale farmers. The Greens’ plan prioritises locally grown\, high-quality cannabis that supports Aussie jobs while ensuring consumers know exactly what they’re getting. \nWe know it’s a question of when\, not if – so let’s make when now! \nBio: David Shoebridge is a Greens Senator for NSW and is the Australian Greens spokesperson on justice\, digital rights\, defence and veterans and migration. Before he joined the Senate he was an MP in the NSW Parliament and the chair of the Public Accountability Committee. As the Australian Greens Justice Spokesperson he brought the first ever bill to legalise cannabis at a national level to the Australian Parliament. This was voted down by Labor and the Coalition at the end of 2024 but more is planned in 2025. His office created the Sniff Off campaign and Facebook page which has now for a decade been advising people in NSW of locations of drug dogs being used to justify invasive strip searches. \n

SUMMARY:Dave Barbara
DESCRIPTION:Dave Barbara \nI have been singing & writing songs on my Acoustic guitar since I started learning guitar at 15. Mostly because I couldn’t yet figure out other peoples songs. There was no internet.\nI have written songs in various styles through the years. Rock\, Folk\, Pop\, Swing and the occasional country song. Those songs are about me and they’re essentially my diary\, about love\, loss (Heartbreak is always a great muse) but there is also hope and the strange things I see in the world around me.\nI eventually learnt other peoples songs and my gigs are a mix of my songs and covers. \nI hope you will come and see me.

Having grown- up in a country town near Newcastle\, he makes full use of his upbringing and experiences from stories about growing up with a father who was a Doctor in Psychology\, to delivering pizzas while stoned as a seventeen year old boy. Despite his self-proclaimed ‘bogan’ tag\, Matty makes use of the token Aussie Racist and dumb Queenslander labels\, commenting on everyday trends such as Aldi’s ‘specials’ and school playground speed limits. Matty B’s style can only be described as casual and unashamed. His humour is dark\, twisted\, vulgar (in the best kind of way)\, surreal and very abstract.Marty BrightMarty Bright is a hippy who has taken his comedic exports far and wide\, having performed around USA\, Canada and New Zealand at the top clubs including the Comedy Store in LA\, Caroline’s and Broadway Comedy Club in NYC and The Comedy Nest in Montreal.Vanessa Larry MitchellVanessa Larry Mitchell is a successful comic\, emcee and event coordinator\, running five of her own successful rooms in the Northern Rivers\, NSW region. Vanesa enjoys pushing the boundaries and breaking down social norms\, by saying those things women shouldn’t say in public\, but we all think! Her show\, Teardrops on My Dildo\, was the Winner Best Comedy 2022 Newcastle Fringe. Fabulous\, filthy and downright hilarious! Brace yourselves for a wild ride of side-splitting hilarity with the modern-day Queen of Sass\, as she takes you on a laugh-out-loud adventure of her trials and tribulations of parenting\, dating and all things female.Gavin ScottGavin Scott is a Comedian. Gavin is from Sydney. Gavin likes to drink. Gavin knows a little too much about UFOs & Conspiracies and other weird stuff in general. Gavin will now combine comedy and his knowledge by channelling that energy creatively instead of spending many nights in online forums and hiding from you know who… you know. This is a comedian for the curious as Gavin explores paranormal topics as well as belief structures and even himself. Gavin wants to believe… and so should you.
