Some friends of ours have an elderly mother, that was suffering all kinds of old age ailments. One practitioner that examined her had a quite word with the daughter (friend of ours) and mentioned cannabis derivatives could help. They actually made a massive difference to hers and the people caring for her, quality of lives.

No need for a quiet word, an obvious Lie,

• GPs (General Practitioners): GPs generally cannot initiate a prescription for medical cannabis. However, they can refer patients to a specialist if they believe it might be beneficial, and under a formal "shared care agreement", may be able to continue a repeat prescription once the specialist has initiated treatment and is happy with the patient's progress.

When Caio França, a center-left state lawmaker met Neide Martins, a mother who struggled to secure CBD to treat her son’s rare form of epilepsy, he realized families needed help, particularly those unable to afford medication. In 2019 França drafted the country’s first bill aiming to allow families to request medication through the public health care system. For three years, he worked to convince his overwhelmingly conservative counterparts, one by one, using testimonials from families who needed marijuana extract as the most effective alternative for their kids’ treatment.

Incredible stuff when used as a targeted medicine. My friends say it has changed lives.

I know all right, most wealthy people are not addicts they are the dealers. Is it the same Dr they use that treat Micheal Jackson?

Indeed. There's a difference in the way young folk use it compared to their elders - (...customers at a San Francisco dispensary) found that users 18-30 were more likely to report using out of boredom or for social interactions, middle-aged adults were most likely to use because of insomnia, and older adults aged 51-72 reported using it for cancer, chronic pain, or other chronic conditions.

Most people smoke it but some find edible cannabis easier to take under medical supervision from a qualified medical practitioner. Some take it to help with insomnia; neurological pain; improving digestion and increasing appetite. The levels of thc are minimal compared to the high content of skunk and you'd really have to cane it to overdo medi-weed.

You say "cannabis derivatives" helped her - were they cbd products?

The integral news organisation of our glorious nation reports - President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order that would expand access to cannabis, a long anticipated move that would mark the most significant shift in US drug policy in decades.

The order is expected to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I narcotic, to a Schedule III drug - placing it under the same category as Tylenol with codeine, US media reports suggest.
(However.)
Even if recategorised, cannabis will remain illegal at the federal level. But classifying it as a Schedule III narcotic would allow expanded research to be conducted into its potential benefits....

Donald Trump’s executive order to ease restrictions on marijuana is the culmination of more than a yearlong campaign by the cannabis industry to persuade the president to embrace a cause the GOP has historically opposed. “I’ve never been inundated by so many people as I have about reclassifying marijuana", Trump said during a signing ceremony in the Oval Office.

High on that list of people (pun intended?) was Howard Kessler, a financial services executive and longtime friend of Trump’s who attended the future president’s wedding to Melania Trump in 2005. Kessler pushed and prodded Trump to sign the executive order, according to multiple cannabis industry and administration officials with knowledge of how it came about. He was also a champion for one of the other policy changes Trump announced Thursday: a pilot program that would allow Medicare to cover treatments involving CBD for seniors.

POLITICO tracked at least 26 lobbying registrations related to cannabis this year, up more than 60 percent from last year and more than double the number of registrations in 2017, the first year of Trump’s first term in office.

He also appears not to know the difference between prescribed cannabis-derived medication and Class B weed.

I wonder if he regards people prescribed diamorphine because of serious pain as smackheads.

He's just a lowly troll. Let him have his fun, if that is what floats his boat, poor sod.

Dont I? I know noseall is lying, or do you believe their GP had a QUIET word about using it, do you not realise that there are specialist Drs who he could refer them to?
