Why should the state be allowed to choose what medication a Mother gives to her child?

Just so that they can protect their big 'donations' from BIG PHARMA?....and allow them to sell their medications for ridiculous profits to sick people.

Alfie Dingley: 'Break the law' call on medical cannabis

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en...shire-43133794

An MP has urged medical cannabis users to "break the law" to use the treatment.
It came as the case of Alfie Dingley, six, from Kenilworth, Warwickshire, was discussed in the House of Commons.
Newport West Labour MP Paul Flynn said it would take a "heart of stone" to refuse the family medicinal cannabis to treat their son's epilepsy.
Home Office Minister Nick Hurd pledged to help Alfie, but said cannabis did not have proven "medicinal benefits".

The urgent Commons debate had been tabled by Conservative MP for Reigate, Crispin Blunt, after the Home Office denied the family's request for a licence as the drug is illegal in the UK.
Mr Blunt said the national approach "flies in the face of the popular view".
He said there was evidence of the effectiveness of cannabis-based treatments.
Alfie was taken to the Netherlands to take a cannabis-based medication in September. It reduced the number of seizures he had, said his family.
Mr Hurd said the government "sympathises" and would try and find a solution "within existing regulations".
During the debate, Mr Flynn said it would take a "heart of stone" to tell a parent "that your child has to turn blue up to 30 times a day and have a seizure" because of the law.
To medicinal cannabis users, he said: "I would urge them to break the law, because the law in this case is an ass."
Conservative MP for Kettering, Philip Hollobone called for a free vote on the medicinal use of the drug.
A private members' bill on the use of medicinal cannabis, raised by Mr Flynn, will be discussed on Friday.

Hopefully some positive headway.... let’s hope they don’t drag their heels too long Over such a time sensitive issue.

A licence to allow a boy to legally take cannabis to treat his epilepsy is being considered by the government.

Six-year-old Alfie Dingley, from Kenilworth in Warwickshire, suffers up to 30 violent seizures a day.

The Home Office had denied the family's request for a licence as the drug is illegal in the UK.

But speaking in the House of Lords earlier, Health minister Baroness Williams said "every option is being considered" by ministers.

She said she had a "huge amount of sympathy" for Alfie and his family and that the policing minister and the home secretary "want to explore every option within the current regulatory framework including issuing a licence", under section 30 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.


Alfie's mother, Hannah Deacon, took her son to the Netherlands to take a cannabis-based medication in September.

She said that while there, the medication, prescribed by a paediatric neurologist, saw his seizures reduce in number, duration and severity and he went 24 days without an attack.

Ms Deacon said Alfie's cannabis dose was "very small", just three drops of the oil
His condition is very rare with only nine boys in the world with the condition, she said.

The case had been raised in the Lords a day after an urgent Commons debate was tabled by Conservative MP for Reigate, Crispin Blunt.

Lord Dear, independent crossbencher and former chief constable of the West Midlands, told the debate on Tuesday the current legal classification of the drug as having no therapeutic value had been "roundly rebuffed" by other countries.

Calling on the government to look urgently at the licensing of the drug for medicinal use, he said 12 EU countries, numerous US states, Canada and Israel all allow "under medical supervision licensed use of cannabis".

Baroness Williams added: "We must keep laws like this under review and certainly the World Health Organisation are reviewing cannabis as a whole and the constituent parts of cannabis.

"We are keeping a very close eye on the outcome of that review and we will be taking a view on it in due course."

The state doesn't care about you or anyone else suffering. . . not even a child (contrary to their oft repeated claims to take another right away, " It's for the children ! " )

The truth is that cannabis is a thorn in the side of the state. . . even if you believe that the US is making huge progress, it is always one "overdose" or "mass shooting" away from being thrown under the bus once again.

It is like the goat and nomadic peoples. . . hard to pin down and tax the fuck out of. . . hard to make submit to subservience to a ruling class.

There is no problem when it comes for Ritalin to prescribe to 7 years old, but when it comes to Cannabis which can save a childslife it is a big NO from those government officials.Its a strange world we're living in.
