What would you do?

I'd, I would, I would let them go.

I would let them go if I'd had the opportunity to think about it, talk to the child about it.

I just think it is, it's not like going to the shops.

It's not going to a cafe.

It is a loaded, um, event.

In the, uh, the secular, comparable sec- secular example I think would be if I go to a protest every Sunday, and I've got someone else's kid with me, and I just take them along.

What do you think?

So, yeah, I think that there's a lot to be said about – There's a role for both medicinal cannabis and the ability to have a legalized market or be able to have a decriminalized market where you can grow your own.

Absolutely.

And I mean, like you said, the evidence is there.

The world has moved on in ACT, in Portugal, in the States, in all these places.

It's like there hasn't been a sudden rush of people who were never going to try cannabis trying it.

As one of your other podcast guests said, smoking's legal.

People don't wake up tomorrow and go, I'm going to go and buy a pack of fags because I'm allowed to.

Thank you.

What would you, I guess, like to see the evolution of cannabis around? Should it be legalised? Would you like to see it heavily regulated? Like what would be best for you and how would you feel most comfortable as a mum seeing that next generation moving in through the world with cannabis?

For me, I think the evidence is really clear.

Like it doesn't feel intuitively good, even for me as a progressive mum to say this.

But I know the evidence is clear that it should be legalised.

And the idea that that will then see a bunch of teenagers rushing to try cannabis who weren't already going to is a complete nonsense.

They already are.

So if you want them doing it as safely as possible, you'd have it legalised.

What are your thoughts on, you know, legalisation and I guess limits around THC? And should we be looking at things like that?

Family from both sides has, have been coming and going, spending time together while they still can." Nelly, what is your gut reaction to this scenario? Can you relate to it at all?

Yeah, I can, and my, my gut reaction is that Kerry's a great sister and a great sister-in-law.

You know, like, what a, what a generous and beautiful thing to do to travel to the other side of the world to take care of someone, or two people really, that you love.

I think it's lovely.

[laughs]

... is that, like, existing personality faults and existing, um, dynamics in the families and between the people who are grieving, I think they can become amplified.

So if there's already bad behavior, it's gonna really ramp up in the sort of intensity of grief and death.

Do you think there might be something to pick up on the fact that it, it's a stepparent relationship there?

100%.

And I think y- Mick needs to ask himself whether that's playing into it.

Like, is it actually, like, an old wound and, you know, feelings about divorce or feelings about this new stepparent? Is it really about Dad's ashes? It might be.

I'm not saying it's not, but it might also be that you've got some issues with stepmom.

Mm.

Right? If, if stepmom is having trouble letting go and that's her comfort, like, is, can, is there a discussion to be had about can she keep some of the ashes and he go and scatter some? And I, that feels wrong, but it's not, like, maybe it's a pragmatic solution here.
