The use of Medicinal Cannabis Oil in Cancer Treatment - WEBINAR next Tues (Aus Time)
The use of Medicinal Cannabis Oil (MCO) in the treatment of Cancer is a much debated topic - yet it is still not readily available to Australians, even tho many countries in the world allow it's use for both quality of life in those with cancer, pain relief & some claim to be NED after using MCO ... many who've used it also rely on it for both stimulation of appetite, pain control and the ability to live your life with some degree of dignity and enjoyment.
There are many different strengths in MCO - to deal with mild or chronic pain thru to extreme pain - and discussion with a professional is recommended to determine the strength/dose you require. Usually MCO is taken as a number of drops, under the tongue (sublingual).

I've used MCO to help control the aches & pains brought on by AIs .... but it is very difficult to get prescriptions in Australia as many GPs refuse to do them - and as the Oil is not available on the PBS - it is a prohibitive price as well, even if purchased from the chemist using a script! :( - basically, legally, it can cost Hundreds of dollars a month, which is ridiculous, given how easy it is to make the oil if you can source the ingredients.
Please read this thread for an interesting insight into MCO by a BCNA member who was an ex Police Superintendent ...

And the TGA's (Thereapeutic Goods Administration) list of companies who make medicinal cannabis products ..... Tilray is the one most prescribed thru Chemists but is horrendously expensive ..... and Cannatrek rings a big bell ....
There are HEAPS of 'side links' to chase down re medicinal cannabis & the TGA ..... check it all out.
https://www.tga.gov.au/medicinal-cannabis-products-active-ingredients - The good news is that there is The Medicinal Cannabis Compassionate Use Scheme provides NSW Police officers with guidelines about using their discretion not to charge adults with a terminal illness or up to three of their carers for possession of cannabis not lawfully prescribed if they are registered with the Scheme.
Hopefully other states would have a similar compassionate scheme.NSW residents who are aged 18 years and over who have a terminal illness are eligible to be registered with the Scheme, as well as up to three of their carers.
The Scheme does not supply cannabis or cannabis products or endorse the use of cannabis products not lawfully prescribed.
They strongly encourage patients to seek a prescription for a cannabis medicine from their treating doctor through one of the legal pathways.
Read about it here & download/read the information sheets and also the application form.
