About
My sister and I have been relying on medical cannabis because we suffer from severe forms of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. We've both been in and out of hospital the past few years to undergo surgeries. Both of us have had to use colostomy bags. We've used multiple pharmaceutical medications that come with serious side effects and were effectively useless to treat our health problems. Cannabis improved our lives and helped to relieve the pain and nausea that's part of these debilitating diseases.
Our father started growing medical cannabis for us out of necessity because he wanted to ensure that our medication would be coming from a reliable source and grown organically. On the 8th of December the police knocked on our parents' door with a search warrant for the property. They seized our medicine and ripped all of the plants out of the ground. Our dad was taken to the police station and was held for 7 hours. He now faces a trial with costly legal fees that our parents can't afford.
We are hoping to be an example to show the Australian government that our laws need to change. If you want medical cannabis legalised we're asking you to please donate to help us fight this battle. Thank you.

The government and the TGA are clueless when it comes to Medical Weed. Please stick it to them!

Any parent who goes to these lengths for a chronically ill child is a hero, not a criminal. Any politician who supports a fine or jail time for this parent - or isnt prepared to fight agaist it - is criminal, and has failed to read the voter sentiment that their political career depends on.

This medicinal herb should be freely available to all humans and not illegal to grown and use as medicine. When alcohol is legal but Marijuana is not, It makes you realise it’s not about health and healing it’s about money and big business.

Not being allowed your medicine is the true crime here. It’s a fantastic plant with amazing palliative powers. Please grant this caring father his freedom from fines, court costs and incarceration. Thank you ???????? for reading.
