Cannabis Education

Picture
Storm and I, Summer 2010
What an interesting journey this is. 4 years ago - I thought 'pot' was for getting high. Suddenly it became our sons medicine and our lives have 
forever changed.  What I believe is you have to educate yourself. Once you start, I am convinced you will come to the conclusion that not only should Cannabis be legalized but is a sad sign that it is NOT being researched for the Medicine that it is.  I have decided to create this page  to make it easy and share some of the ways that we have been educated.  Documentaries, websites, Compassion Clubs, Magazines, Dr.s, patients and more.  I have decided to link them all on this page to hopefully help simplify your journey to learning.   I DO try to learn about every business and club etc. I base my opinion on MY own experiences. You are entitled to form your own opinions ;-) I hope they are as good as our own. 
Here is a link to a news story about our son:
 http://www.thestar.com/videozone/796636--marijuana-as-medicine
You can read our son's story as it appeared in Treating Yourself magazine by Visiting the Treating Yourself website:  http://www.treatingyourself.com/treatingyourself/published-issues.php      Issue#29
or read the article as seen in Treating Yourself here: /uploads/4/1/0/5/4105506/stormsstory.pdf
Although many people now comment on my strip and it is seen in several magazines around the world now, many do not realize it is based on a true story. I am determined to share our knowledge and experience with parents everywhere.
Cannabis is a VERY SAFE and non-toxic drug that has eased our son's chronic pain.  Especially parents who's child is suffering with a terminal illness.  We BELIEVE Cannabis is a safer, healthier option. 
Don't trust me !  EDUCATE yourself.   What ever it takes.. ease suffering. 

Make a cup of tea and WATCH some educational TV:

Below are some websites about children specifically that Cannabis is helping. Please check them and 
perhaps you know other parents who are dealing with the same things.  EDUCATE - HELP- Ease suffering.  Please take the time to offer these parents your support.  Thank God is it not your child.  Cannabis is medicine!
