Medicinal cannabis is having a moment in Australia, with prescriptions skyrocketing over the past couple of years. And now, one of the leading companies in the budding domestic industry, Australian Natural Therapeutics Group, has pulled off a recruiting coup, with former journalist, filmmaker and ex-Victorian Multicultural Commission boss Helen Kapalos joining as its head of communications. Kapalos has blazed a trial for medicinal weed for some time – self-funding a widely-screened 2016 documentary on the stuff. More recently, she had a brief stint doing media for a rival medicinal cannabis company Cannatrek.
