No.threestand: Hidden Attractions Nimbin NimbinSmall town
Nimbin Town, let’s talk about it firstThe only illegal unique big mark in Australia: Big Joint, Its slogan is to legalize marijuana "Let It Grow" and “HEMP” (Help End Marijuana Prohibition), Because it is too blatantEmbassyOutside the store, Forced to move inside the store and hang on the field.
1973In 2000, the Aquarius Anti-War Music Festival was originally held in Melbourne, Sydney and other big cities.,Move to thisAffiliationLismoreCity HallThe mountain town held its last event. The originally lifeless mountain town of Ningben was transformed into the capital of marijuana and hippie culture in Australia, and later became a famous town in Australia's sustainable ecology and environmental protection movement.As tourism has become more popular, the activity has beenBingThe Nimbin Mardi Grass Festival has been revived under the name of "Carnival". Every year, it attracts many European and American tourists and Australians from all over the world to make pilgrimages.BingThis small town has been the leader in Australia for 40 years and is the best when it comes to cannabis.
Nimbin, a small town known as the "Australian Marijuana Village" and the "Center of Hippie Culture", has begun to become well-known in the Chinese community. I2017Year11moon12After the legalization of cannabis food in Australia, Only then did we dare to organize groups to visit the local area, so far, About a thousand of my group members have visited this place with me.!
Nimbin was originally aboriginalBundjalungThe tribe of the tribe, the first thing white people did after coming to Australia was to develop forestry here. When most of the trees were cut down, the main industry here was transformed into dairy farming.1960The economic depression in the 1980s brought a wave of bankruptcies, with farms closing everywhere.
Many tourists who have just arrived in Australia and old Chinese living in Australia have more or less heard about how easy it is to get marijuana in Nimbin. Tourists who have been to the town say that if you walk around the street for half a day, you will encounter at least 20 drug dealers selling marijuana to you. This situation seems to be an open secret in Australia and still attracts many Australian teenagers. What is incredible is that the laws of New South Wales, where the town is located, clearly stipulate that any act of growing, possessing, using and selling marijuana is illegal. So why has Nimbin Marijuana Village been famous for forty years??
Firstly, as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the town is located in the mountainous area more than 700 kilometers north of Sydney. The rugged mountain roads make transportation inconvenient, and the marijuana fields widely planted in the mountains and forests are not easy to be discovered. The second is the lack of police force.2018The town only has12Police officers, but permanent residents1700The number of people in Nimbin is not even counting the hundreds of tourists who come to the mountain to collect medicinal herbs. It is simply impossible to guard against them. People can be seen openly selling marijuana products on almost every street. The senior police officer in charge of the area said that most of the police officers stationed in Nimbin cannot complete their three-year term because morale is so low. Even if street surveillance cameras are installed, it is useless. It is simply that the devil is always stronger than the saint..
There are many debates about the addictiveness and efficacy of marijuana in many literatures, which will not be discussed here. Although only the Northern Territory in Australia briefly legalized the use of marijuana, it is still classified as a drug in Australia to date. It seems that there is a reason why marijuana is considered the "entry-level drug". In Nimbin, in addition to marijuana, other emerging drugs such as methamphetamine are also popular.(methamphetamines)There were also rumors that local gangs might have entered the market. However, according to data from the New South Wales Crime Statistics Research Bureau, the local crime rates over the past decade have not increased year by year, and there is no sign that they are particularly higher than those in neighboring areas. The correlation between marijuana and crime rates does not seem to be as high as the stereotype. The efficacy and decriminalization of marijuana have always been the focus of the Marijuana Embassy in Nimbin.(The Nimbin Hemp Embassy)And the well-known political party in Australia, the "Marijuana Party" (HEMP Party, Help End Marijuana Prohibition Party)I have been actively promoting my goals and have achieved many
Positive and negative public opinion. In fact, the colorful mountain town of Nimbin is a microcosm of Australia's cannabis culture history, and its importance cannot be overstated. The carnival in early May every year also really boosts the economy of the entire region.
AustraliaEdible cannabis is now legal in Australia,This means that the food we buy in supermarkets may contain marijuana ingredients, and you may not even know it even after eating it! Australians can buy a variety of cannabis-infused foods: cannabis cereal, cannabis milkshakes, cannabis desserts……2016Year10moon14On , the Australian government launched"Narcotic Drugs Regulations”（Narcotic Drugs Regulation 2016), allowing applications for licenses to grow and produce marijuana for medical or research purposes, making marijuana cultivation and production legal.
