GUEST BLOG: Katy Thomas – A Mother’s plea for medicinal cannabis
My heart is pounding out of my chest as we 3 blink down fat tears into Eddy’s 5th seizure tonight. He mewls weakly, floppy-limbed, white-lipped and slumps into my arms. I can still hear the echoes of the deep aching sobs he cried before bed, terrified of the seizures he knew he would have tonight. The heart-wrenching grief that he would inevitably be woken by pain and suffocation, that he might not wake up tomorrow. If you heard those sobs, you would never hear another child squeal without a deathly reminder of our haunting maybes.
…why the hell are the politicians still dragging their feet on this!
Meanwhile more deaths from synthetic cannabis which we wouldn’t be having if the real stuff was legal!
Labour have to show the same leadership for working class cannabis as they have on middle class drugs like Party Pills.

I am still having problems with accepting the National government legalized synthetics and too many people got hooked at least twenty or more died and nek minute it was outlawed. And now the current government has provided a checking system for middle class people to ensure their pill popping is safe, don’t you think there is some irony in these actions or lack of action by both these political parties or are you too bias to see cause your always right, Im right, RIGHT, nah!
Please stop the stereotyping. I suppose I’m middle class. I’m not a stoner. I’ve never had a”party pill” in my life. But I also know that cannabis relieves me of a whole lot of pain. And for kids and adults who need cannabis products for such things as Parkinsons and epilepsy – let’s get it out of the hands of Big Pharma so it is affordable for ordinary people. Referendum be damned.
