OM DENNE EPISODE
Robert Collier has worked in medicinal cannabis for over 25 years — Amsterdam, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and now a cultivation farm in Western Australia. He sits down with Jack for a special dispatch on the state of the Australian industry.
Australia imports 70% of its medicinal cannabis — 77 tonnes that could have been grown here. Rob and Jack work through how the global market came online, why Oregon produces a seven-year supply every year, what $10 ounces in Detroit mean for everyone else, and why the race to the bottom has already started at home.
Then the real argument: outdoor versus indoor. Rob's position — the best outdoor beats the best indoor, and Australia's sun, soil and regions are the advantage nobody else can copy. Genetics, THC number games, driving laws for patients, labour costs, and what a sustainable Australian model actually looks like.
