At the time of this interview, Cannabis Oil was not legal in New Zealand. There are, however, movements to make it available. Cannabis Oil has been a very controversial topic over the years and has been enforced harshly by the government and police. Although it hasn't been legal, many have sought after it in search of help for their various ailments and conditions. Positive testimonials are popping up everywhere. In the past year, I have met many people who have tried it and most of them are raving fans. You don't need to look very far to discover that Cannabis Oil has incredible benefits for all sorts of medical conditions. Such as:
Autism, Cancer, Epilepsy, Parkinsons, pain relief for Arthritis, to name a few...
New Zealand has a great opportunity right in front of it to become a world producer of Cannabis oil. Sir Richard Branson visited NZ in March 2017 and shared his view that Marijuana could become just as normal as wine within 10 years. Branson said Kiwi farmers could have a new venture, cannabis over cows. "You should legalise it, grow it, tax it, regulate it."
Cannabis Oil will likely be distributed through pharmaceutical companies and prescribed by medical doctors. I hope that when it is finally available, the price won't be ridiculously high, since it is a natural plant oil. In my opinion, it should be one of the cheapest available medicines. Of course, there will be start-up costs, high manufacturing standards and more research, however, most of the research has already been done.
As heard in the Podcast - Israel is leading the way with Cannabis research and there is a wealth of information. https://israel-cannabis.com/. On YouTube, you can see loads of cases, documentaries and research. Search for "Cannabis Oil epilepsy" for example. There are plenty of Cancer, Parkinsons and Epilepsy cases shared.
Here's the problem, natural and "alternative" medicines such as Cannabis Oil don't get nearly as much research funding as other drugs. Why? Because it's a natural medicine, not a synthetic drug that's been created and patented by a drug company. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies can't make as much money from it. It's not a smart business move to fund a natural medicine that will get better results and lead people away from existing treatments and drugs that dominate the market. That means fewer profits! Yep, that's what I believe is going on. It's a harsh but true reality. Do you agree?
It's crazy how there is such a clamp down on Cannabis oil and Marijuana... It's a plant, It's natural and it's everywhere. Here's the ridiculous part, It is so common. I would guess that almost half of the NZ population has tried it. I've even seen numerous Medical doctors, police officers and respected professionals smoking it!
Don't you think that going jail for having Cannabis Oil or marijuana seems a bit extreme? What's the big deal?
At first, I thought I was crazy for sharing this interview. I was scared of the repercussions but how many hundreds, thousands, millions of people on the planet could be helped?
THAT. Is worth taking a stand for.
