Microdose 14. For the Love of Weed and Justice: Celebrating 30 years of MardiGrass

The 14^th Microdose Webcast will head north, partnering with the Nimbin Hemp Embassy to explore the origin and evolution of the long running MardiGrass Cannabis law reform protestival. We will be joined by a panel of local plant freedom fighters to take a trip down memory lane and discuss some of the highs and lows of this passionate grassroots movement. After the panel, there will be a short live Q&A.

Dr Liam Engel will also be stopping by to keep things green with a discussion of Cannabis concentrates and vaporisation. Liam will follow on from EGA's Cannabis Concentrates Reference Guide, emphasising a harm reduction approach amidst modern cultures of Cannabis consumption.

More about Nimbin MardiGrass

For 30 years MardiGrass has aimed to expand the mind as much as that special weed herself, and continues to provide a space to inform, learn, agitate, inspire and connect in this massively important green revolution to overgrow the government! 2022 is the 30^th year of MardiGrass and our friends at the Cannabis Broadcasting Network have created a precious documentary of this important and enduring force for drug law reform in Australia. You can watch it online for free here: https://cannabisbroadcasting.com.au/mardigrass/

Bios

Michael Balderstone

Michael Balderstone abandoned a successful career as a stockbroker to look for a deeper meaning in his life. He settled near Nimbin thirty-odd years ago and has been involved with the HEMP Embassy and MardiGrass since they began. He is also President of the federally registered political party, the Legalise Cannabis Party. He’s passionate about injustice in all forms but in particular the war on drugs, believing drug use should be a health issue and not a fight over who gets to profit from pain.

Miss Guidance

Having attending MardiGrass since the late 90s, in 2011 Miss Guidance started helping with the MardiGrass conference, AKA the Hemposium. Miss Guidance also volunteers at the Nimbin Hemp Embassy and is a member of Entheogenesis Australis.

Neil Pike

Neil Pike is a musician, video-maker, life-time activist and professional weirdo. He is an active proponent of Optimistic Cynicism™, and lives in the rainforested hippy warrens surrounding the rural Australian town of Nimbin. Raised by peace activists in the ’50s & ’60s, he has been making music and causing trouble since the early 1970s, involving himself in a range of causes from environmental protection to various social justice issues. Neil is the founder and Grand Authenticated Bush Turkey of the Pagan Love Cult inc, probably the longest running contemporary psychedelic music group in Australia. He is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who has performed at gigs & festivals extensively all around the world. “The best thing about being the Grand Authenticated Bush Turkey” says Neil “is that only other turkeys take you seriously”.
