In Queensland Australia a father has recently avoided any serious charges after being found guilty to administering Cannabis oil to his young daughter through her food.

The Fathers intent in this case was pure, his daughter was terminally ill and suffering from the side effects of cancer and of the treatment itself. Following internet research on the potential benefits of using cannabis oil whilst suffering from cancer, the father allegedly introduced it to his child’s food in an attempt to improve her appetite and soothe her, an act which he says worked. In Queensland Cannabis remains an illegal substance, and it is implied that Cannabis oil is as well. But although not a controlled scientific study, does the act of a father in a time of need demonstrate potentially significant medicinal benefits and support the case for further investigation? The whole case is not clear cut and it really makes you think., what would I do in that situation?
