YOUR STORY: It's hard to imagine living in a country where your own federal and state governments deny your child access to potentially life-saving medicine.  That's a challenge I share daily with local Toowoomba mother Rhonda Miles as we work side by side as part of the Medical Cannabis Advisory Group Queensland.

 

The group is comprised of dedicated patients and carers advocating for change to regulation 270A Health (Drugs and Poisons) Regulation to allow for lawful access to cannabis for medical purposes in Queensland.

 

The medical cannabis situation in Queensland, and indeed all throughout Australia, is in stark contrast to the situation in the USA where I spent most of last year in Washington with my 16 year old son Lindsay who was diagnosed with a brain tumour two years ago, after two years of debilitating illness.

 

When we are in the US we have the complete support of a team of doctors who hold a wealth of knowledge and experience in the use of cannabis and cannabinoids as a frontline treatment option.
