This is an Australian podcast I've listened to for a while they went quiet for six months but are back after explaining that they were raided    

Full story is on their page

Back in September 2021, the Friendly Aussie Buds HQ was raided The police kicked in the door and searched every inch of the house… and unfortunately, they found a plant inside of Joe’s bedroom – among other things! 

We’re still not quite sure why or how it happened. We may have just been a little too open and upfront about our love for cannabis, making us easy marks for the authorities.           Joe faced possession charges for the plant, but no conviction. He got off with a $1500 fine and $1000 in legal fees. In the end, he considers himself lucky..          

We’ve been inactive on the FAB front for some time, and it goes without saying that this whole situation is behind our radio silence.

It’s been almost 6 months since that fateful day… and since then, a lot has changed. The whole team has worked on its habits, become wiser, and learned a lot throughout this whole experience.

This not the full story please check out the article on their page This is good story to cover on news and they would be great people to speak with on the show,  I,m just a listener to their show but when I heard they got raided I was pissed off and had to share

Their story is absolutely insane and I honestly can't wait to get everyone's thoughts and reaction from this interview. They share our fight and I've personally followed their movement for a couple of years but 1. Because their close to home and 2. Because there's not much local cannabis news for Australia. 

Thanks @Macky for being such a passionate presenter and advocate for this channel and plant. Feel appreciated bro! ,,

FYI - to anyone reading this thread, Macky has confirmed that an interview has been scheduled to talk with these guys. Hopefully they can share their story and experience of the weird medical market Australia's in....

I was wondering what happened with these guys, hadn't heard or seen any of their stuff recently. Be awesome to have a chat with them though and get some insight into what happened. Well played @macky getting these lads on. 

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.

@stonewolf unfortunately the majority of our news is geared towards the negative when it comes to cannabis, I try and scour for anything positive and share it on the show when it pops up, hopefully having a few things in the works with the cannabis movement here atm we will have some good news incoming. I think that the tide really is shifting here and we will start to see the public opinion shift more as it becomes more mainstream. Medical was a big step for us and that has really opened the door for discussion but I think only now we are starting to see some fruits from it all. Slow and steady has always been a stoner's motto lol I still don't like waiting for something that should never have been made illegal to begin with....  but that's a whole other kettle of fish 🤣

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.
