Sheep at the National Ploughing Championship last month in County Offaly
In the country one should always keep
One’s hands off the next person’s sheep
Or your reputation
Will face devastation
As penalties go that’s quite steep

A documentary
Johnny Keenan writes:
This documentary is directed, produced and narrated by concerned citizens Robbie Gannon, Lorraine Kennedy and Terry McMahon.
The testimonies you will see and hear are passionate pleas by our Irish people for clemency and the right to have medical cannabis to deal with their own condition.
These 10 brave souls you will see and hear are the voice of thousands of other Irish people who suffer in silence.
Vera Twomey’s daughter Ava has a rare form of epilepsy that can cause up to 20 seizures a day.
Dave Kelly has a form of motor neuron disease.
Kenny Tynan suffers with a brain tumor.
An anonymous mother talks about aggressive chemotherapy that her son went through. She heard Simon Harris (Minister of Health) talk about a license process where chemo patients could apply for such a license. She could not however get a consultant to sign the application.
Patrick Bradley suffers with chronic pain.
Gerri Sparrow suffers with emphysema and asthma.
Stefano Speranza has chronic pain in his lower back through a work related injury
Dr Garrett McGovern is a GP and Addiction Specialist who is aware of a plant that patients use. These patients find this plant more beneficial than conventional drugs.
Mark Cleary’s mother in law Geraldine Martin suffered with pneumonia and a tumor on her lung.
Caroline Conlon is Alex Baizert’s fiancée who talks about Alex’s struggle as an activist who suffered with epilepsy. Alex passed last April. Please see his testimony here
What brings these ten ordinary people together is the extraordinary power of Medical Cannabis.
It’s a crying shame that these ordinary people have to go to extraordinary measures to get a medicine that should be freely available to them by our HSE.
The question now is, why do the Irish people still have to suffer in pain while the rest of the world has access to medical cannabis?
There is absolutely no logic for the continuation of such ignorance towards our people who need medical cannabis.
Please please look at this essential 37 minute documentary and then act accordingly.
There is no doubt in my mind that if we act together now we can force OUR government to sign into law this year 2018 that Irish citizens are entitled to choose medical cannabis as a form of medicine.
Not alone that. It should be freely available in Ireland to them. With the massive demand for medical cannabis all across the country jobs can be created and Irish businesses can prosper by helping our people who need and want this medicine.
We have pharmaceutical plants all over the country. So why don’t we have green houses for medical cannabis to be produced into medical cannabis oil.
This is logical thinking and should be encouraged rather than been ignored.
