Patients from around the world are tired of waiting for dead legislation and lawmakers to get off their asses and start helping the community at large. Many have gone on record to say they will continue to purchase black market products until legalization allows them the right to purchase their medication legally.
Melbourne mother Cassie Batten, who has been buying cannabis oil on the black market to treat her son Cooper’s intractable epileptic seizures, said while both the Labor and Coalition plans sounded progressive, they would not allow her to legally buy her son’s medication any time soon. Last month, police seized vials of Cooper’s oil, but no charges have been laid.
Many doctors say there is considerable evidence that cannabinoid molecules – there are more than 120 and only one, THC, gets people “stoned” – can relieve pain, stimulate appetite, control nausea and alleviate muscle spasticity, and there is growing proof they can treat seizures. Some say they may even lead to new cancer and obesity treatments.
