Personal Story – Graeme Upton, Hobart October 2017
The day that I met Andrew (Irving) it was life
changing.
I was introduced to Medicinal Cannabis to
control pain, and ‘pain’ was virtually my
middle name.
I had been taking prescription
drugs, Oxycontin, Endone and
Lyrica for such a long time.
Oh! By the way, I am
suffering from osteo
and
rheumatoid arthritis,
and throw in terminal
prostate cancer, for
which I am on
hormone therapy.
Anyway, back to the
medicinal cannabis: so
barely being able to get out
of bed in the morning, to
now, where I am able, not only
to jump out of bed in the morning,
but chuck in a little song and dance to go with.
Andrew, I thank you, you have changed my
life (for the better) I just need to get the
balance properly adjusted.
I think whatever life I have left for me, is going
to be worthwhile.
I don’t know why the federal government
don’t get off their collective
backsides and get the bill passed.
Not tomorrow, we need it today.
People are suffering, people are dying, the
government can change the life of thousands
by simply putting a HERB on
the PBS.
Or are they worried about
the millions of $$$ that
they may lose by the
way of taxes????
Yet we can afford a
postal vote on ‘same
sex marriage’ that’s
cost millions??
Its time, so Malcolm,
show you have the balls
and get out and do what
you are paid to do. Graeme

PS:- Miracles? Believe or not?
I have been on hormone therapy for the last 6
months, after a long 4 year battle with the
dreaded disease “prostate cancer”
I have been using medicinal cannabis for the
last 6 week (approx)
Went to have my 3 month review yesterday
(9/10/17) and my PSA reading was 0.00.
Spoke to my surgeon about my medicinal
cannabis use….He was very surprised and
extremely interested (a seed has been planted)
