When are the elected representatives going to listen, not only to the medical professionals, but also the people whose lives are so affected by seizures, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's. I think it is neglect and abuse to deny people the use of medical cannabis. I've seen firsthand the difference it makes, with clients who have daily seizures and those with MS and Parkinson's.

I have been taking medical marijuana for a year. It's made a huge difference to my life. It has many benefits but the biggest one for me is the quality of sleep that I am getting.

Very difficult to get your hands on the good stuff. So I'm told.

FFS,
   Isn't the venture capitalist husband of Mrs May heavily invested in one of the biggest producers of cannabis oil in the UK.

Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Just move to Canada in October - you can get all the stuff you want

I think it is neglect and abuse to deny people the use of medical cannabis. I've seen firsthand the difference it makes, with clients who have daily seizures and those with MS and Parkinson's.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to pry but does your experience with cannabioids come from your work as a pharmacist or nurse or doctor? Essentially I'm asking what you do for a living.

I work in Health and Social Care as a support worker, working with people with a wide range of physical and learning disabilities. At the minute I work with young people who are non verbal, have autism, severe epilepsy and physical disabilities. My experience with cannabis oils comes from personal experience also.

The Iceman

Like alcohol all cannabis in Canada will be controlled by the provincial distribution board. I know some of the bosses in British Columbia and they believe theres real money to be made with the regulation of cannabis.  They don't think there is any money in growing it. There are too many growers and the market is saturated with raw product.  The money is in repackaging it - edibles, oils... I'd love to hear if anyone is working on anything ?
