“Government confirms primary schools to scrap National Standards
12 Dec, 2017 11:37am”
Thank goodness…this opens the way to having a generation with the ability or at least the opportunity to learn how to think, not just pass National Standards.
And I for one feel no shame in admitting I couldn’t actually understand my kids report cards, at Secondary School (which still has NS) , I’d simply ask the kids..”What is this telling me..should I be worried”.
So what is the new Labour, NZF, Green government doing on the legalise cannabis , particularly medicinal cannabis, issue ?
… I recall NZF wanted a referendum. To deny desperate NZers, especially the elderly in pain , the health benefits is criminal !

In New Zealand we persecute and prosecute brave campaigners like Rosie Renton ( this is an absolute disgrace!)…where is the medical profession on this?…or are they also gutless and complicit?

The cannabinoids in cannabis — cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — work by way of naturally-occurring cannabinoid receptors embedded in cell membranes throughout your body
The fact that your body is replete with cannabinoid receptors, key to so many biological functions, is why there’s such enormous medical potential for cannabis
South Dakota has rescheduled CBD from a Schedule I to a Schedule IV substance by excluding it from the definition of marijuana
GW Pharmaceuticals failed in its efforts to restrict Schedule IV classification to FDA approved CBD products only, which prevented the company from creating a monopoly in South Dakota
The legal status of CBD oil as a nutritional supplement is now threatened by drug companies seeking FDA approval for CBD-containing drugs

…”Polls show older Americans are becoming increasingly converted to marijuana use.23 Between 2006 and 2013, use among 50- to 64-year-olds rose by 60 percent. Among seniors over 65, use jumped by 250 percent.24 Pain and sleep are among the most commonly cited complaints for which medicinal marijuana is taken. Considering the high risk of lethal consequences of opioid painkillers and sleeping pills, medical marijuana is a godsend.
As noted by Dr. Margaret Gedde, an award-winning Stanford-trained pathologist and founder of Gedde Whole Health, there’s enough scientific data to compare the side effects of cannabis against the known toxicities of many drugs currently in use.
