Mark Bresciano is a Socceroos great. Source:News Limited“I’m investing in property these days, and working on cultivating cannabis,” he said.“At present I am studying with a partner who is working towards producing marijuana-based medicines within the next year.“The company is called Greenhope. We have identified a site and obtained the necessary licences.“There is still a long way to go before we can produce cannabis-based drugs.“For the moment we are going to Canada and the US to learn more, as well as Europe — where there are experts.  Mark Bresciano is on the grass. Source:Getty Images“I miss playing football. It is like a religion in Italy.“But I have lost my passion for the professional game. I am just a spectator these days.”Greenhope has launched a fledgling website, bearing the message: “Hope Is Coming ... the movement is medicinal.”Bresciano hung up his boots in 2015 after a three-year spell with Qatari club Al-Gharafa.He was last year picked by the FFA (Football Federation Australia) as part of a nine man panel responsible for selecting Dutch manager Bert van Marwijk to coach the Socceroos to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia this year. — This story originally appeared on thesun.co.uk

Good on him. The stigma on cannabis is absurd
He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

I think he'll definitely be taking the chicken now, particularly at about 10pm on Friday night.

Seriously though he "breaks bad" and has put his career "up in smoke" because he's openly investing in a medicinal company that happens to use a naturally occurring plant that is absurdly prohibited? Yellow journalism at its finest I wonder what article (if any) would be written if he invested in a pharmaceutical company that produces chemicals that were a part of the wider opioid epidemic?

Despite all the hoopla around medicinal cannibas the science around this is shaky at best. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-where-is-the-evidence/But good for Bresh if he can make a go of this.

I guess its because the evidence for marajuana's medicinal benefits over other drugs is weak and the evidence is established and strong for the medicinal benefits of the pharmaceuticals that are abused by some people?

The legalisation of previously prohibited drugs will in the coming decades make a surreal amount of money.

Interesting.
It isn't legal to grow it for medicinal purposes in my home state - yet.
It should be. Some people I know get their best pain relief for chronic illnesses through cannabis, but don't want to get stoned.

All drugs used incorrectly or over used cause issues ... The media attacks on marijuana have been huge over decades yet in the 30's and prior it was OK... I have a client who works for a Sydney based company seeking a similar license ... You can buy cheaper water at Aldi catalogue. The medical reports on pain relief and on nerves is growing by the day... Good on him ... much respect...

Bresciano made 2 drastic mistakes. 1. Playing in Palermo amongst the mafia and 2. Living in Melbourne
In a resort somewhere

I'd rather maintain the brain function of a normal person.
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

one of the 'under-rated' Socceroos from the golden Generation i wish him well it is a bit sad he never got involved with the game since he hanged up the boots but i guess a bit like Viduka he is happy to have the family life and live life away from the game

He's also currently involved in the setup at Catania alongside Grella.
