DA Opposes ‘Medical Marijuana Bill’
Last month, two ladies contacted me in the hope that i could point them towards marijuana oil as they had relatives dying of cancer. They never got any and both those patients are now dead. Many of you will be aware, through similar family and friend experiences, that it’s a painful way to die.
A large portion of this town seems to smoke marijuana and whether you agree with it or not, the battle to prevent weed-smoking is lost. Worse is that it has allowed the Knysna SAPS to up their drug bust figures which obscures, as many of us believe, the fact that they are not doing enough about the real danger which is damn tik, one the greatest threats to our way of life and undoubtedly fueling the crime wave we’re experiencing.
There is bill seeks to legalise dagga for “medical, commercial and industrial purposes, and proposes that a medical practitioner working at a pilot health centre be allowed to administer unproven treatments without fear of litigation.”
The pharmaceutical industry has various cancer treatments. These have been extensively tested for efficacy and safety. (the results are that they are not very effective or safe, but they have been tested)
Marijuana has not had the same level of testing by the pharmaceutical industry, so they refuse to allow you to use them?
DA seems to have bought into this bullshit. They want to protect people from unscrupulous doctors, by exposing them to the treatments of an unscrupulous pharmaceutical industry.
Almost every large drug company has been found guilty and paid fines for falsifying or manipulating test results, even when you are dying, they deny you the right to chose your own treatment – sickening.
They simply make more money out of other drugs and the DA is, as always, friends of big business before the public. One of my relatives has terminal cancer yet the doctors have sucked her dry. The first round of chemo rendered her unconscious and she embarrassingly shat herself in front of many others having chemo. The latest was an attempt by the doctors to get a month’s worth of experimental pills from the USA for R52 000 – thank goodness medical aid said no. Second BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY how can an individual’s rights be removed, especially when facing a serious illness or a terminal one – let them choose whatever they think is best for themselves!
