Help us legalise CBD in Australia

Australian Revolution.

As many of you know Higher Wave Wellness has some strong ties to Australia. Alana and I are both Australian and currently residing here while waiting out the COVID pandemic. 

Australia is one of the only countries in the world where CBD is illegal. Excitingly a new proposal has been put forward down-scheduling CBD from a schedule 4 drug to a schedule 3 drug which would make it available behind the counter at pharmacies.

This is BIG!

If you're in Australia and want to be able to freely purchase CBD, or if you're not in Australia but want to cheer on the market here we've put together a super easy guide on how to email a submission below.

Submissions close May 22nd AEST so get in quick!
