Noreen O’Neill and her son Michael
Noreen O’Neill, from Kilgarvan, Co Kerry, has been campaigning to get a licence to treat her son Michael with CBD oil.
Michael has a brain condition called bilateral frontal polymicrogyria which causes him to suffer up to 20 seizures a day.
Noreen recently joined Vera Twomey on a climb of Croagh Patrick to raise awareness about medicinal cannabis.
Noreen writes:
On Wednesday [July 11] at 3pm, parents of children, and individuals, in need of medicinal cannabis are invited to meet TDs in the Dáil, to express their need for this medicine.
The more people who attend to show how real and widespread the issue, the better it will be for the cause.
I know, as well as any carer, it is not easy to get away for a day like this, but this is a rare opportunity to meet the people who can make a change to our legislation.
The Dáil will sit on Thursday before it begins its summer recess.
Meanwhile, tomorrow, barrister and legal academic Niall Neligan will be giving a lecture on Cannabis Regulation in the AV room of the Oireachtas between 12 -1pm to help launch (Irish cannabis advocate group) Fweed’s Public policy document entitled A 21st Century Approach to Regulating Cannabis.

This. Beat me to it.
right-wingers say no
Do you care for her cause? if so, it’s best not to have it diluted
In the opinion of a right-winger
Everytime this issue comes up, You guys keep conflating the need to regulate CBD as a medicinal treatment and people wanting to smoke cannabis for it’s THC to get baked.
They’re two different things.
Please stop.
Shut up right-winger
Wait,
Holland and Barret is selling CBD oil. Is the medicinal stuff much stronger dose?
It’s legal in small quantities & costs a fortune. The THC in conjunction with the CBD are more effective anyway.
Thank you!
