This heart felt letter was received by Tasmania State opposition Labor leader
Rebecca White.
Although Labor is not currently in government, this elderly resident, in desperation
for pain relief, reached out for help from a party that is committed to medicinal
cannabis reform......
My Dear Rebecca
I am writing to you for desperate help, I am
83 and have osteo arthritis killing pain on my
thigh and hips, I can’t hardly walk, & lay in
bed.
I spend most time crying with the pain, I don’t
sleep at all, I was in hospital 2 months I had a
fall and fractured the femur. I am home now.
I was and still am filled up with pain
medication but just unable to keep all the pills
down, they make me ill I have given up taking
them I don’t think I can take my pain much
longer, please Rebecca help me.
I have been trying to get some medical
marijuana oil it’s a closed door.
The government passed a law last year for
Tassie and other states to have it for bad pain.
I have tried to find out how I can obtain this
wonderful oil, no one will tell me how I can
get it, saying it is not legal in Tassie even the
doctors do not want to know, I read that your
government write up and know it is legal for
me in lots of pain, I am trying so hard to get
better. I don’t know who else to turn to.
I beg of you to please help me. I can pay the
cost of the oil. I’m told that in XXXXXXXX
there are quite a few getting it but won’t tell
me how I can get some too.
It seems all hush hush how can this be if the
government made it legal last year.
Rebecca will you please help me because I
can’t fight any more, I can’t cry any more, can
you come to see me please as I can’t get to
you. I am really desperate in my pain, I just
pray you can tell me or help me be how to get
this M. Oils please.
I don’t want to live like this
God bless you Doreen bbbbbb
