Mullaway to Challenge Validity of Police Warrant after Raid on Medical Cannabis Plantation

Mullaway to Challenge Validity of Police Warrant
after Raid on Medical Cannabis Plantation


30 March 2012

Tony Bower, Director of Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd will challenge the validity of the Search Warrant obtained by police to enter his property and the seizure of over 200 medical cannabis plants and business records notwithstanding that police unlawfully entered the premises before obtaining the Search Warrant.

Mr Bower said "I am not walking away from this or from the hundreds of patients who use Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture. I have inspected the police application for the Search Warrant held at Kempsey Local Court House and found that the reasons given by the police to obtain the Search Warrant were false and misleading.

Tony Bower said "I intend to defend the charges and have served a subpoena on the Registrar of Kempsey Local Court for full access to the warrant application and supporting documents. A subpoena hearing is listed for 16 April in the Local Court at Kempsey on the same day police commence court proceedings against Mr Bower.

We have ascertained from the warrant documents that police failed to state in the application that the premises belonged to my company, Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd and that I showed them documentation that the medical cannabis was cultivated for patients suffering and dying from serious conditions such as cancer. "

Tony Bower said he held up the Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd company sign when the police helicopter was hovering over the medical cannabis plants. Tony Bower said "I walked across the road and spoke to police when they landed on an adjoining property. I fully informed police that the medical cannabis grown at the premises was for seriously ill and dying patients and to call the health department.

The police ignored everything I said and entered my premises without a warrant. They made no enquiries before applying for the search warrant even though I showed police business documentation. Police remained on the property while waiting for a search warrant. Once the search warrant was obtained I was taken into custody and was not present throughout the search of my premises.

There were no complaints made about the medical cannabis plants or tincture to the health authorities however police conducted this raid as part of their annual cannabis eradication program. It was clear that this was not a drug trafficking operation What drug trafficker has a website and a company registered under Commonwealth law. What drug trafficker has letters from their client's doctors recommending that their patients use medical cannabis to treat their medical conditions.

I am deeply offended that my business premises were raided in this manner and that I have been charged by the NSW police as a criminal under the Drugs Misuse and Trafficking Act." Tony Bower, Director of Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd, says he has maintained clear accountability and transparency in his business. All relevant State and Federal Government departments have been fully aware of Mullaways operations for years.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd has been open and forthright with all government departments, especially the New South Wales Police. Tony Bower said "I have endeavoured to comply with all government requirements for the past three years to get my company up and running and in the interim continue to get the medicine free of charge to chronically ill and dying people."

"I have worked tirelessly to bring my medical cannabis tincture under Commonwealth and International health laws and have been using a health model to ensure the safe and timely delivery of the tincture to patients however I continue to be blocked and treated with disrespect by the NSW government."

"It is clear that in the case of Mr Bower road blocks have been thrown up that would not have been there if he had been a multinational pharmaceutical company or the primary seedstock were not related to a recreational drug," Greens MP John Kaye said in an interview on 29 August 2011.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture is a therapeutic medicine used for therapeutic purposes by chronically ill and dying patients to relieve pain and suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, Crohn's disease, arthritis and other serious illnesses. At all times the medical cannabis used to make the tincture has been grown for therapeutic use. Each medical cannabis plant seized by police was labelled for specific patients.

Many patients have been using Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture for years. Most patients have letters of support from their doctor. Mullaways is the only company in Australia providing medical cannabis. The only other avenue for patients to access medical cannabis is through the Commonwealth Government's Special Access Scheme. This is a long and expensive process as this cannabis product is required to be imported from an overseas medical cannabis company. Many patients are unable to afford it as it is unavailable on the PBS.

Mr Bower said he would also like to make it clear that "growing a herbal plant for medicine is part of my culture and my culture does not allow me to refuse chronically ill and dying patients access to my medicine. I know that I can help and even heal people with my medicine."

Almost half of Americans now have access to legal medical cannabis and European Union Companies are funded to develop medical cannabis products.

Does the New South Wales Government have a plan for the chronically ill and dying patients in this state who use medical cannabis as part of their therapeutic regime? We need to urgently address this issue here in Australia.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd Press Release:

MULLAWAY TO DEFEND CHARGES AFTER CANNABIS CROP SEIZED BY POLICE

21st March 2012

Tony Bower, Director of Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd, says he has maintained clear accountability and transparency in his business. All relevant State and Federal Government departments have been fully aware of Mullaways operations for years.

Tony Bower said “I am deeply offended that the New South Wales Police Force have brought charges against me under the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act. I intend to vigorously defend the charges. The medical cannabis seized by police, and the tincture does not fall under the scope of New South Wales criminal laws. The police didn't take my plants off the street they took them off sick and dying people.”

“I have worked tirelessly to try to bring my medical cannabis tincture under Commonwealth and International health laws. I have been using a health model to ensure the safe and timely delivery of the tincture to patients however I continue to be blocked and treated with disrespect by the NSW government.”

“It is clear that in the case of Mr Bower road blocks have been thrown up that would not have been there if he had been a multinational pharmaceutical company or the primary seedstock were not related to a recreational drug," Greens MP John Kaye said in an interview on 29 August 2011.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd is a registered company under Commonwealth law. Tony Bower was approved as a fit and proper person by the Commonwealth Therapeutic Goods Administration to hold a drug manufacturers licence over two years ago.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture is a therapeutic medicine used for therapeutic purposes by chronically ill and dying patients to relieve pain and suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, Crohn's disease, arthritis and other serious illnesses. At all times the medical cannabis used to make the tincture has been grown for therapeutic use. Each medical cannabis plant seized by police was labelled for specific patients.

The medical cannabis seized by police was not destined for the illicit street market.

The medical cannabis tincture does not get people stoned.

It is Non-Psychotropic and therefore not open to misuse.

The medical cannabis crop seized by police was a strain of cannabis specifically bred by Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd to be extracted into a medical cannabis tincture. Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd lodged an application to register the strain under IP Australia's Plant Breeders Rights. “My application had gone through to the final approval stage under the Commonwealth but was blocked by the New Sales Wales government” said Tony Bower.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd has been open and forthright with all government departments, especially the New South Wales Police. Tony Bower said “I have endeavoured to comply with all government requirements for the past three years to get my company up and running and in the interim continue to get the medicine free of charge to chronically ill and dying people.”

Many patients have been using Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture for years. Most patients have letters of support from their doctor. Mullaways is the only company in Australia providing medical cannabis. The only other avenue for patients to access medical cannabis is through the Commonwealth Government's Special Access Scheme. This is a long and expensive process as this cannabis product is required to be imported from an overseas medical cannabis company.

Does the New South Wales Government have a plan for the chronically ill and dying patients in this state who use medical cannabis as part of their therapeutic regime? We need to urgently address this issue here in Australia.

Regarding the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961 to which Australia is a signatory

It is really important to understand that one of the fundamentals of the preamble of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, states:

...recognising that the medical use of narcotic drugs continues to be indispensable for the relief of pain and suffering and that adequate provision must be made to ensure the availability of narcotic drugs for such purposes ...

This has recently been reaffirmed by the
United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs

Ensuring availability of controlled medications
for the relief of pain and preventing diversion and abuse

Striking the right balance to achieve the optimal public health outcome

At the 53rd session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) held in March 2010, the Commission adopted Resolution 53/4 “Promoting adequate availability of internationally controlled licit drugs for medical and scientific purposes while preventing their diversion and abuse”.

The Commission recalled the recognition of parties to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961 as amended by the 1972 Protocol:

“that the medical use of narcotic drugs continued to be indispensable for the relief of pain and suffering and that adequate provision must be made to ensure their availability for such purposes.”

Convention control measures to ensure safety and availability (Page 7)

The objective of the international drug Conventions—balance between ensuring availability and preventing diversion and abuse—is promoted by an international regulatory system that provides the framework for national drug regulation. Pursuant to the international regulatory system, States agree to adopt certain regulatory requirements.

The control provisions of the Conventions are designed to (a) ensure that controlled medications are prescribed for legitimate medical purposes and safely reach patients through a controlled distribution chain and (b) combat illicit manufacture, trade and distribution.

They are designed to serve what the INCB has described as the overall goal of a “well functioning national and international system for managing the availability of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances” namely “to provide relief from pain and suffering by ensuring the safe delivery of the best affordable drugs to those patients who need them and, at the same time, to prevent the diversion of drugs for the purpose of abuse”.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Survey 2010

All people surveyed provided a letter from their Doctor stating their illness/condition and that the Doctor was monitoring them. Most Doctors recommending cannabis for their patients recommended a non smokeable form of cannabis be used.

Tinctures used in the Survey;

• 1 - THC (30%) & THC A (70%) (Alcohol based at 0.0082 mg THC/100 Microlitres)
• 2 - THC (30%) & THC A (70%) (Alcohol based at 0.0164 mg THC/100 Microlitres)
• 3 - THC (30%) & THC A (70%) (Hemp Seed Oil based at 0.0082 mg THC/100 Microlitres)
• 4 - THC (30%) & THC A (70%) (Hemp Seed Oil based at 0.0164 mg THC/100 Microlitres)
• 5 - THC (Olive Oil based at 0.0266 mg THC/100 Microlitres)

100 micrograms = 0.1 g = 1 Drop = 1 Spray

150 people were surveyed. The illnesses/conditions covered were;

• Chronic Pain
• Cancer
• HIV
• MS
• Glaucoma
• Diabetes

Chronic Pain
Reduction in the use of medications (tramadol)
Clearer thinking due to less medication
Less muscle spasm day and night
Sleep better
Helps the person to relax
Improved mood due to less pain
No side effects (drowsiness, high)

Glaucoma
Relieves eye pressure
Reduction in medication (lyrica, ordine)
Stopped hemerages'
No side effects (drowsiness, high)

Cancer
Relief from nausea
Helps pain medication work better
No side effects (drowsiness, high)

MS
30 to 40% reduction in pain levels
Relief from muscle spasms during the night
Helps with muscles spasms in general
Sleeps better
No side effects (drowsiness, high)

HIV
Sleeps better
Helps the person to relax
No side effects (drowsiness, high)

Diabetes
Stablising affect on Metabolism
No side effects (drowsiness, high)

An overall drop in the use of medications was expected but the continued reporting by participants that they had greatly reduced or given up alcohol, tobacco and other drugs after using the Tincture for a time was not expected but could not be ignored.

Of particular note was the stabilising affect the tincture had in one Diabetes case.

NSW POLICE RAID MEDICINAL COMPANY

The NSW Police have hit a new low by descending in an expensive tax-payer-funded operation with a police chopper and confiscated the medical cannabis crop needed to make Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture. The medical cannabis crop was a strain of cannabis specifically bred by Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd to be extracted into a medical tincture. Each medical cannabis plant was labelled for specific patients. Through the confiscation of this medical cannabis crop, the NSW Police have deprived many Australians their medicine. It is a form of discrimination against sufferers of chronic illness and pain whom need this medicine – Medical Cannabis.

300 plus chronically ill and dying patients will now be deprived of this indispensible medicine used for the relief of pain and suffering

Many of the patients have been using Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture for years and have letters of support from their doctors to use the tincture. Mullaways is the only company in Australia providing medical cannabis. The only other avenue for patients to access medical cannabis is through the Commonwealth Government's Special Access Scheme. This is a long and expensive process as this product is required to be imported from an overseas medical cannabis company and many patients are unable to afford it as it is unavailable on the PBS.

Tony Bower, Managing Director of Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd, says he has maintained clear accountability and transparency in his business. Both State and Federal Governments have been fully aware of Mullaways Medical Cannabis operations for years.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd has been open and forthright with all parties, especially the Government. They have complied with all government requirements for the past three years to get his company up and running and to get this medicine to the dying and chronically ill people who need it free of charge. Federally approved, where is the Federal intervention?

Director of Mullaways Mr Tony Bower says, “My culture does not allow me to refuse help to people who ask for it and where I know I can help, as it is, and surely should be, in any civilised culture. I could not have been any more honest and open about what I am doing. I know that I can help and even heal people with my medicine, a medicine that doesn't get people stoned. Almost half of Americans now have access to legal medical cannabis now. We need to urgently address the issue here in Australia.”

Tony Bower has worked tirelessly to try to please government but continues to be treated with disrespect. The patients need their medicine daily. Does the NSW Department of Health have a plan for the dying and chronically ill medical cannabis patients in this country?

Introduction to 'The Anti-Cannabis Claims Challenge'


To The Australian Government (Yes all of you, individual and as a collective),


You've stopped the real thing which is a medicine, food, textile, construction material, paper, plastic replacement, all manner of industry product and very pro-environment and indeed very pro-human advancement - YET you allow a synthetic of the real thing, blatantly made and publicly promoted for people to use to 'get off their face', which is apparently why you stop the real thing in the first place.


Cannabis = No
Synthetic Cannabis = Yes
HOW DOES THAT WORK? ...


I challenge you to a 12 month trial of your so called claims - let's put your argument to the test - it shall not be rigged like anything else you do to determine an outcome - the details - Actions, measurements, outcomes etc... - will all be open table, fully transparent and accountable (to the point where wiki-leaks will have nothing to publish. get the picture - no cheating!)


THE OUTCOME SHALL BE:
- if it is proven that you have it right and that cannabis is a menace to society, then you shall have proven your point and you can go on with your anti-cannabis policies.
- if it is proven that you have it wrong and that cannabis is of benefit to society, then you shall relinquish all anti-cannabis holds and restrictions on the positive development and evolution of humans and cannabis together as it should be!

NEWS RELEASE: Cannabis Treaty Convoy!


PRESENTS TERMS
PARLIAMENT

23rd August 2011


On the 23 of August we will be going to NSW Parliament House to hand over our terms for a treaty on cannabis.


A treaty will be drawn up and presented to the Secretary of Health as it is the Health Department that control the Growing and Possession of cannabis in NSW for medical purposes. We will be asking that person to discuss a treaty.


With the help and support of the Hemp Embassy we will be asking everyone to come down and support this.


Bring a joint or we will be dispensing cannabis tincture free of charge to all who bring a letter from their doctor stating they have an illness cannabis is known to treat.


We will also be asking the NSW Health Minister to issue a Card protecting patients from harassment. This should have been done a long time ago in accordance with the TGA Special Access Scheme. If they are unwilling to provide this medicine they cannot stop you from providing your own. This is in Law. 


If the Secretary of Health will not talk, or if for some reason they do not exist, as has been implied in some correspondence, then we will be going straight to the NSW High Court.


A letter of Notice has been sent to the NSW Health Department advising action will be taken on that day.


It is time to stand up and show we have the courage. Not only to help ourselves but to help others less fortunate. Lets help them have a quality of life they deserve.


Lets sit down and have a smoke or a cookie or even a home made tincture - whatever you like.


Lets sit down and actually talk about the end of the 100 year war.



***


The Nimbin HEMP Embassy will be sending a delegation to Sydney departing from the Embassy monday morning 22nd to support the Mullaways Medical Cannabis protest. Anyone interested in joining or supporting in any way the convoy to the Big Smoke please contact the Embassy.


We have known Tony for a long time and his extraordinary efforts to show how beneficial cannabis is as a medicine have left us all in his wake. We know dozens of people who have discovered tremendous pain relief through Tony's efforts and we will support him wherever possible.


As Tony says, it is against his culture to refuse to help someones suffering if he can. We feel the same.

NO KRIS YOU'RE WRONG :)...

RE: The concerns of fear & propaganda driven anti-cannabis claims!

Hi Everyone (Kris), Cannabis Medicines are now made so that THC levels are regulated - This Means the medicinal effects can safely go to work for people who NEED! this medicine, especially but not limited to the elderly who may prefer abstaining from, or could not cope with, lifestyle changes that can be influenced by the 'high' experience...

TWO CORE ISSUES for concern in the industry, which have come out of various reports - specifically our government commissioned ‘Report of the Working Party on the Use of Cannabis for Medical Purposes’ August 2000 - are the administration of medical cannabis via smoking raw product and the risks associated to recreational use.

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty.Ltd. Research and Development has developed a new cannabis derived medicine providing solutions to these, and more, core issues:

* Cannot be used to get 'high' in any way, shape or form (THC levels are extremely low at more than 50 times lower than TGA stipulations (Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australian Government).

* Cannot be administered by smoking in any way, shape or form (liquid tincture administered orally).

Medical Cannabis heals and relieves sufferers of chronic illness and chronic pain — where other medicines fail! ...


NB: THC levels may also be managed on a case basis for those medicants, the terminally ill for example, who wish to feel or need the respite of pleasantness while managing their condition...

Care to join the humane?... Have a read around - educate yourself! :)... Share and educate others :)...

Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty. Ltd. Update:

Letter to Government
(25/05/2011)
...Copy of Email sent to Government today...


<Begin Email:>


From: Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty. Ltd.
To: Government (Ministers and Members of Parliament)
Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011
Subject: MEDICAL CANNABIS


To ALL involved,

I have written to you, asking for a meeting to discuss this very serious matter that confronts us... but it seems it has fallen on deaf ears again.

I am not prepared to stand back any longer and watch our young go to jail because they tried to help their aunty or uncle or even worse their parents: Imagine watching your son or daughter go to jail when you are dying and in extreme pain knowing that all they were doing was try to help, imagine your last thoughts not being able to see your son or daughter and tell them you’re sorry...

Imagine the contempt the people in these situations must feel for you. If there really is a heaven and a hell, then these people are there waiting.

The people that I talk to want legalisation and I understand some of their argument, but it has not been what I was trying to achieve. I hope you fully understand that over the years I have gathered all the information I need to achieve just that. I also know that over 57% of this state would vote for it... so to all the doubters that thought I could not get this far, think again.

I was given this task by country. I was judged by our government to be a ‘fit and proper person’ to do the job at hand; if you are now unwilling to talk then I will talk to the people and unlike you I will give them what they want.

So please understand the consequences of the indignant attitudes that you have taken as I know the outcome, I win. It would be best to be at least talking at the finish.

I hope that you have looked at all my letters and paperwork, it will tell you I’m not doing this to make friends ~ but if I have made new ones along the way, that will be a bonus.
