CWA votes in favour of marijuana for medicinal use

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

The National Conference of the Country Women's Association (CWA) has voted in favour of a resolution supporting the medical use of marijuana for pain relief.

 

The CWA held its meeting in Darwin and members have told of relatives seeking relief from the side-effects of cancer treatment and chronic illness.

 

President-elect Leslie Young says the CWA now supports a trial to determine whether cannabis can ease their pain.

 

"We will be approaching the federal and state ministers to consider the legalisation of cannabis for medical purposes for the terminally and chronically ill," she said.

CWA is the backbone of many rural communities, mainly mothers ... mothers who are tired of seeing the men play politics with a plant .... a plant which can relieve suffering in sick patients !

 

Three cheers for the Country Cannabis Womens Assoc.

women in general dont like being told no and that more than applies to an old bat in pain so imo its going to work out very much in our favour having these ladies fight the good cause
