HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #693 | 5 FEBRUARY 2026
High Headliners! The magical summer continues here with just enough rain to keep all my friends in the garden happy and the days not too hot. The grapes are delicious, stuffing in mouthfuls, and now the little pineapple guavas have started. Good news that the […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #692 | 29 JANUARY 2026
High Headliners! We seem to have dodged the hottest days the southern states have been cooking under. Milder days here, with an odd shower, perfect for the guru, the garden I mean! I’ve still got a ute full of Bunya nuts looking for a pesto […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #691 | 22 JANUARY 2026
High Headliners! Beautiful rain again this week, kept everyone happy in the garden, which keeps feeding us. There’s half a ute load of Bunya nuts reminding me how the Aboriginal tribes would all gather in season and feast together for weeks. We demolished the lychee […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #690 | 15 JANUARY 2026
High Headliners! Perfect days this week, with intermittent showers keeping a lid on the temperature, everything in the garden is loving it. I just wish so many bananas didn’t all ripen at once and the goannas didn’t eat the baby chickens! Do any of our […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #688 | 1 JANUARY 2026
Happy New Year Headliners! We’ve had a relatively mild week of weather which was good for the busiest tourist week of the year in Nimbin, though the tiny village barely gets half the traffic it got a decade ago. Byron’s upmarket these days and the […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #687 | 25 DECEMBER 2025
High Headliners! It’s been very hot and dry and we’ve been hanging out for rain. Then, suddenly out of nowhere on Monday night, a huge thunder clap. In the morning I tipped out eighty millilitres (ml), heaven sent, and our little universe is completely changed. […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #686 | 18 DECEMBER 2025
High Headliners! Growing up on a farm, rain was the constant conversation and so it is now again for me. The hemp seedlings need a shower, as does the rest of the veggie garden. But waiting for rain is nothing compared to waiting for Minns […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #685 | 11 DECEMBER 2025
High Headliners! Back home the garden is blooming with flowers and fruit, plums and blueberries at the moment. We planted our tiny patch of hemp and filled out the new forms for the DPI. Who knew that Australia’s legal medical cannabis all must be irradiated, […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #684 | 4 DECEMBER 2025
High Headliners! We’re driving back inland from the entheogenic gathering in Gembrook (Victoria), which was terrific. No doubt the talks will be online soon, but hanging out with the 500 psychedelic fans won’t be. I hadn’t realised the psychiatrists legally prescribing can only use synthetic […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #683 | 27 NOVEMBER 2025
High Headliners! We’re on the road to the entheogenic gathering near Gembrook, just outside Melbourne. This word I love, comes from combining the Greek words ‘en’ (within), ‘theo’ (god), and ‘gennao’ (to generate). The Garden States Regeneration is an ethnobotanical conference on cultivating plants, knowledge […]
