Popular Post Torsten Posted September 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2013 WE WON!!!!!! The Federal Criminal Code schedules have been released and not a single plant was added to them. It appears that the nearly 10,000 submissions that were made to the attourney general's department via the Happy High Herbs and GardenFreedom websites (and the countless independent submissions) caused a rethink at government. Let's turn that success into a momentum to force the same rethink at the state level. The war is not over, but people-power won this battle Thank YOU all.http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013C00619/Html/Text#_Toc363810126This success did not come easy. At least 6 people worked on this issue for about 3 month on a full time basis and some for a lot longer. This includes staff at Happy High Herbs, the people at gardenfreedom, and many individuals who either helped as part of the group effort or doing their own thing. Most of them prefer to remain anonymous, but I would personally like to thank all of them for their dedication to the plants. 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
