Medicinal Marijuana May Soon Come To Illawara
People in Illawara, which is a region of Australia, are now
grouping up to try and get medicinal marijuana approved for medicinal purpose,
as they are certain that it can help those residents of the region who suffer
from cancer and that it can also help to alleviate their chronic pains.
Sally Crossing, who is a cancer survivor, told one of the
New South Wales parliamentary committees that it really “seemed self-evident”
what cannabis can do for people who suffer from certain diseases and pains. She
also stated that “enabling the medical use of cannabis is commonsense and
kindness.” Ms. Crossing is also the leader of the Cancer Voices New South Wales
voluntary action group and they are certainly getting the attention of most of
the Illawarra residents.
During her speech, Sally also said, “while we watch the
Americas and Europe gradually seeing the benefits of treating cannabis like
alcohol, let’s focus on this present compelling matter-allowing cannabis to be
used as a medical drug for those symptoms it can alleviate.”
Right now, this group and the committee is trying to
establish how medicinal marijuana should be dealt with, as well as how it
should supplied to patients and people who need it the most. The group that is being led by Ms. Crossing
already has a large list of followers and it is in favor of medicinal cannabis,
only if it can be properly regulated and certain medical protocols are
followed.
Medicinal Marijuana Is An Excellent Option
Ms. Crossing also talked about how some harder or stronger
drugs have been declassified from illegal drugs to legal and are now being used
for medicinal purposes. She really doesn’t believe that cannabis can hurt
anybody and she also thinks that other drugs are far worse than marijuana. “Too many people think it’s the thin end of
the wedge or the beginning of the slippery slope,” said Ms. Crossing. She also
stated that there are many pain killers in the market, which produce side
effects and that cannabis will work as well as those pain killers, but it will
not produce the side effects that these do and she talked about how this was
being proven in the US.
“We see major
benefits, specifically for relief of symptoms and side effects which are often
not well managed now. We fully support the placement of controls to ensure appropriate
prescribing protocols and safe and efficient delivery to people for whom it has
been prescribed. I am speaking today for a lot of people, those who have
cancer. Some of us will die of our disease and some won’t. Regardless, the
comfort of knowing that a helpful drug has been added to the fairly limited
offerings we have now would be very welcome,” were some of Ms. Crossing’s last
words in her speech.
Medicinal Marijuana Needs To Be Approved Everywhere
People who have tried cannabis for medicinal purposes, know
exactly how effective this herb can be and this is why it needs to be approved
and prescribed to these people. Please remember to share and like this article,
