smoking it doesn’t cure cancer….eating about a gram of RAW cannabis OIL DOES cure cancer…..IVE seen it work, personally….it causes “apoptis” in cancer cells, meaning it reprograms them to die……my brother in law beat his prostate cancer using cannabis oil……a 2 to one CBD to THC ratio is recommended???……..How’s that irresponsible, I might just save someone’s life with this post!!

The only thing dangerous about marijuana is that it’s illegal!

I’m a local grower myself,but the number’s he’s asking for in quantity is outragouse. Jamaica would be THE LAST place i would look to shop for any type of medical product. They have poor proccessing when it comes to the overall handling of marijuana. It takes one pound of bud leaf, bud or bud leaf matter just to make 8oz of oil. Jamaican aren’t going to go through this proccess. How about Uraguy where it is now COMPLETELY legal? Just a thought from a 18plus year Bermudian gorrilla farmer.

I know several regular marijuana users who have had cancer. Some have survived. They received mainstream treatment. Others did not survive.
More research is required. Simply saying pot cures cancer is irresponsible. It may be that certain chemical components of marijuana have beneficial effects but these need to be isolated and tested so that they might be enhanced and targeted to specific cancers if indeed they are proved effective.
Marijuana clearly has some benefit in pain management and should be available to patients for that purpose.
Generally speaking, I believe marijuana should be legalized. That being the case cancer patients would of course be free to use at their discretion, but would want to know that its use did not detract from the effectiveness of current mainstream treatment options.
Presently, and as an ‘out of options’ approach, there is no reason not to try marijuana along with the multitude of other treatments that have shown potentially beneficial results but,as yet, have not demonstrated their effectiveness through rigorous and repeatable scientific testing.

Cannabis has been proven to kill cancer in humans. View CannabisExtractReport.com for medical documentation of terminal cancer patients in remission with cannabis oil, along with an intimate analysis of the scientific evidence.

I think these are already available at the several smoke shops on the island. I’ve even seen them being sold at various other shops in Hamilton. Just need to go out and look my friend.

The Government needs to look into why there is only ONE oncologist on this island with the large numbers of cancer patients. It’s a disgrace as the care is sub-standard!

Not sure which doctors would be willing to prescribe such a shipment of medical marijuana if it manages to pass through all the hoops and hurdles, but what an opportunity it would provide for Bermuda to closely monitor those who are prescribed it to patients with serious pain and illnesses. Why not have a small professional committee track the users to assess whether or not they have benefited from its use.

Perhaps we could even invite Dr. Sanjay Gupta to come to Bermuda to provide his independent assessment, and report his findings on CNN. As a long time opponent of medical marijuana he has now come full circle and his recent TV special blew the lid off some of the myths about marijuana.

We need to think outside the box about the legalization of marijuana and now is the time to do so.

Researchers have shown and proven that medical marijuana has many benefits to one’s healing process, not just cancer victims. The Idea of legalizing for medical purpose makes more sense then most of the crap that comes out of the pharmaceutical market.

I can’t get an electronic cigarette on the island without jumping through flaming hoops simply because, and told by a pharmasist, because the government can’t figure out a way to capitalize on it. They don’t give a rats buttock about the people, just themselves. You don’t honestly think legalization is even on the table do you? In any form or regulation…

I’m all for legalisation but for once I wish the more serious proponents of legalisation would just say they just want to get high.

Your concern for for people who could benefit from medical uses for the product are admirable but what if government tells you ‘that’s it’ .
Still no legalization of herb.
What will be going through your mind then ?
