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 mention of a GP here. Can anyone else see it?

For pity's sake - why are you like this?

He didn't say "GP" he said "practitioner".

Even if it had been his GP, do you know when this was? Medical CBD had a faltering start here (it may still have significant restrictions for all I know) and there definitely was a time when you could only get it for specific conditions in the UK, or you needed a special licence to import it. I can easily see how a (G) Practitioner could be sympathetic to the use of a CBD medicine here, be aware of all the evidence for it, and know that because our rules he couldn't refer to a specialist, and so had a "quiet word" about the patient or their family using an irregular way to source a medicine from abroad.

And note - "medicine".

Despite all these:

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.

“The political environment was uninformed and prejudiced against cannabis. It was surprising how little my fellow deputies knew about it,” França said.

Recreational marijuana is still prohibited in Brazil, but following years of deliberations, the Supreme Court in June decriminalized it for personal use, up to a maximum-allowed quantity. In response, Brazil’s conservative Congress started pushing for tougher drug legislation. Even if Congress tightens drug laws for recreational use, that shouldn’t affect access for patients, said Rodrigues, the lawyer. A 2023 poll by Datafolha concluded that opinions about medical cannabis transcend the nation’s deep political polarization.

Use of medicinal cannabis in Brazil is on the rise. In 2023 more than 430,000 Brazilians received cannabis treatment, up nearly 130% from the previous year, according to a survey by Kaya Mind, a business intelligence firm.

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

you still posted stuff like this:

So the Dr gave them his dealers Tel No did he?

along with their neighbors lives too with all of those unsavory characters arriving at their house at all hours.

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?

Did he also mention crack is a good one too whilst he was quietly telling her about cannibis

Why?

Do you actually think it makes you look good?

The idea that cannabis has healing properties is nonsense; it is just a ruse to give the stuff respectability and trick governments into legalising it. If it were ever legalised, the "medicinal properties" would be immediately forgotten.

And your medical and pharmacological expertise is what, exactly, and how evidenced?

Healing? I don't recall anyone saying this, do you?

However, cannabis derivatives are widely known amongst the medical profession, to offer symptom relief, and have been for some time. My friends Ma is testament to that.
