    I’m in Oz. There are regular stories in the media about cannibas helping reduce the number and impact of epilepsy in children. I know one such family. There is no reason to withhold this treatment from these people.

      Aye, stories of a similar vein here, of Irish kids going to US for their cannabis treatment, returning home and continuing the treatment illegally. Good luck to them, the change is long overdue.

    I didn’t know we’ve had Joint Committee, That is so progressive

    Luvvit, nellyb! :-D On a more serious note, not before time, and I hope there will be no undue delay in introducing this measure to alleviate human suffering.

      I know we’re all different but I find it hard to understand how weed would help with anxiety. it’d be the opposite for me.

        I’ve found it can help with my own anxiety. Helped me in a big way when I experiencing multiple panic attacks daily, but too much of it can be a bad thing too. It can exacerbate anxiety too, and can inhibit motivation, but I think it very much depends on the type of weed you smoke. With most things, moderation and education is a must.

        Another argument for legalisation and regulation, if you ask me.

          I suppose when I did smoke it, it would have been every day mainly because of who I was living with and social life at the time, then I’d go off it and realise I had become quite dumb and was anxious about simple things.
          Lack of moderation though.
