Legalising medicinal marijuana/cannabis in Australia - "Doing It For Dan" on Australian Story (ABC), 25/10/2015.
A quarter of a million Australians have so far (as of Oct 2015) signed Lucy Haslam's petition for the decriminalisation of medicinal cannabis, and after this video I encourage you to take a moment to do so and find out more at www.dansstory.com.au
Australian Story - "Doing It For Dan":

"They’ve turned something that politicians and governments were very coy about and didn’t want to discuss into a raging national debate." - NSW Premier Mike Baird
Lucy Haslam is a woman in a hurry. Since losing her son Daniel in February this year to cancer, the Tamworth resident has stepped up her campaign to legalise medicinal cannabis.
Widely credited as the driving force behind a raft of state and federal initiatives aimed at legalising the drug, Lucy Haslam is concerned by delays in the political process and is striking out on her own.
It is a deeply personal crusade. Lucy Haslam’s son Daniel was diagnosed at the age of 20 with stage 4 bowel cancer and only found relief from his nausea after ingesting medicinal cannabis.
Forced to break the law in order to source the cannabis, Lucy and Daniel went public last year calling on politicians to follow the example of other countries around the world.
A face to face meeting between NSW Premier Mike Baird and the Haslams was a turning point in their campaign. Now she is taking her campaign in a new and surprising direction...

Sad that this was 3 years ago, and we're still a long way away.

I truly hope this has become a reality by now. I worry it isn't because there would be another video to that effect. If there is an update or progress on this becoming legalized there, I sure would love to hear about it. My husband and I are have a severely disabled son with epilepsy and cerebral palsy. We've come in contact with so many kids who could've benefitted had this been regulated sooner in our state but also in the entire US as well. We are thrilled that our sons seizures are mild and well controlled with his medication. He is 27 now and healthy and happy but very severely disabled. I now am awaiting testing for cancer myself and watching this video has given me a glimmer of hope of the possibility of cannabis oil helping me through chemo and so many others I know. I know so many people with cancer. Cancer is the real demon here. Not the very sick patients or their loving families!
