For many years, medicinal cannabis has been studied by scientists and researchers striving to understand the healing properties that come from its high cannabidiol (CBD) content and high levels of medical terpenes and flavonoids.

It’s a start, but why is it left to a company to absorb and submit the tax. It shouldn’t be limited to just one company.

It was this past week that the media in the UK took to share a story of how Billy Caldwell (age 12) was having life threatening issues through epileptic attacks and the public that would stand together to help this young boy get access.   This is exactly HOW we at Medicinal My Way are speaking loudly and to our government with your voices and ours.  It’s time we put #patientsfirst.  If Billy was in Canada, he’d have the ability to get access…HOWEVER he’d have to mail his prescription away and wait for the Licensed Producers to mail it.   We can speak out in Canada as we have the RIGHT to our medicine already…but we don’t have easy access.  SHARE YOUR STORY NOW.

As other countries are starting to come on board with supporting medicinal cannabis, it’s critical to understand that how to access the medicine is part of their process.

Through Pharmaceutical and no tax associated with the medicine prescribed.

Another story, this time in the United Kingdom, through the BBC UK where cannabis oil truly helped a 12 year old boy from having seizures and medical issues. Medicine should be accessible to everyone. The story gave all of us Shivers, knowing that he can now live quality lights. Suffering for so many years and now has the ability. Canada is a leader when it comes to Medicinal cannabis, yet he still have to make it accessible, not taxed and available for all walks of life in this country.

We are excited to announce a coalition member CFAMM  in our constant pursuit of making a change for the patient. Access to medicine should not be limited it should not be taxed and should be available for all Canadian citizens.
