About
G'day! My name is Tom Forrest and I'm an active member of the cannabis and agricultural sectors.
I'm willing to shave my dreadlocks (for the first time in 10+ years!) to help raise support for mental health with our rural blokes.
If we can raise $10,000 in 30 days, I'm happy to take the snip in February and say a fond goodbye to the locks!
I've taken my dreadlocks around the world multiple times to hundreds of different cannabis gardens and farms. And it’s time to see if they can help rural blokes with mental health. One last hurrah for these terpene infused locs!
I'll be travelling to New Zealand and then if we have hit the target, I'll get the cut here on the edge of the Yarra Valley Victoria.
My image in the global cannabis industry has become somewhat synonymous with long dreds, and I thought this is a unique opportunity for our industry to rally for an incredibly noble cause.
I’m bittersweet to announce it, but I’ll happily shave my dreds for “Are you bogged mate” - a fantastic group that helps raise awareness and provide support for blokes in rural areas and on farms. Promoting healthy communication and an understanding of mental health in our rural fellas!
I’m looking to colleagues, family, cannabis community and local champions, let’s get $10k for these legends and help support our Aussie farmers who may need a bit of a hand getting out of the mud.
Funds donated to the My Cause Gift Fund will be disbursed to Are You Bogged Mate?. The trustees will always disburse funds to the nominated cause, however in the case that that is not possible, the funds will be disbursed to a DGR charity at the trustees discretion.

Great cause Tom! And if you will not reach it, that means most of us do not want you to cut your dreads ;)
