I BELIEVE cannabis should be legalised for medicinal purposes.
My daughter has suffered thousands of seizures for the past eight years, which are uncontrolled by medication. Medicinal cannabis, so far, is the only thing that can promise her a seizure-free life without any negative side effects.
Once you do the research and understand exactly what medicinal cannabis is, it's a no brainer.
It's time politicians actually listened to what the people want; their job is to act as a voice for the people in parliament.
Australians have been loud and clear on this issue lately, with recent polling indicating 96 per cent in favour of legalising medicinal cannabis.
Surely, we are not going to be the only country in the world that cannot see the sense in legalising it.
Now is the time to end the suffering; it's a matter of urgency.- Hayley Rikihana, Redland Bay
