i just need to let off some steam.
my mum's cousin died recently from cancer. the docs floundered around on diagnosis (took a fuckin optician to insist he go to emergency right away), and his condition was real bad when they finally sussed he had cancer (and from the sounds of it, had had it for many months, maybe years), "riddled with cancer" was the term being used. now i dont know if cannabis could have saved him, but i know not getting cannabis didnt help him. and it fucking pisses me off. it pisses me off that there are people dying from cancer, and the medical profession are too ball-less and soul-less to adhere to their hipocratic oath and breach their beaurocratic binds.
SATIVEX... it's even in a prescribeable form now... or least they could have done is tell him the truth on the side, quietly. they didnt even seem to want to let him know he had cancer. ... and for them to have missed it... surely someone's head must roll for that.
i'm just so utterly frustrated by the lack of progress on this, and that lack of progress costing lives! PEOPLE ARE DYING! >:[
not to mention the untold suffering of millions.
sry, i know venting onto a cannabis site is just some cathartic futile whinge. i know this is not fixing anything, but i'm just so enraged at the damn ijustice of it right now... i need to do... something, SOMETHING, to ... to... idk... we surely must have some way we can stop this from happening anymore. where's the magic bullet that completely dispells the multi-generation long propaganda campaign?
i've got two other closer relatives with cancer, and neither of them are likely to try it. one had radio therapy and surgery, the other is having chemo. this shit is so wrong. so, so wrong.
[edit, even if they did decide to take cannabis for their cancer... i dont have a clue where to get a cancer-beating-dose supply... i presume the medical underground would crop up somewhere along the lines... right?]
i'm holding back from just switching on capslock and headbutting the keyboard four hundred and twenty times, i'm that infuriated by the situation.
what makes it worse... i went into a chatroom where i hang out with some other geek tokers... and ya know what one of them said to me...

ignorcannt: cannabis is mainly used as a way to fight the symptoms of chemo from what i understand
ignorcannt: cannabis isnt a cancer treatment
:O
we're fucked. ~i mean collectively as a species, if even a cannabis toker, can be that ignorant about cannabis and it's cancer beating properties. and we're not talking just some teenager who just started toking last week, he's been a toker for years, and he's even known me for years... surely i would have mentioned it... oh that's right, i did, about ten dozen times. fucked. bye bye humans, might as well pack your bags and head to the retirement home to meet up with dodos and the dinosaurs. >:.[
sry. idk if that's tough love to jostle some folks awake, post-humanist mysanthropic defeatism, or just more cathartic pressure release. :[
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. :.[
humanity, sort yourselves out. throw out the criminal tyrants, stop believing them when they tell you they're your leaders. stop following them to your doom.
