Dear Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services,

I come to you today with this email because the public is not being heard via your email address cannabisbill@parliament.gov.za.

A lot of us feel that its completely and utterly a joke that this bill is to be accepted and the public's opinion is being ignored and shut down!!

I support it being legalized to be used freely the way its suppose to grow free!!
The amounts provided in the bill that has been thumb sucked it is madness.

My father has Prostate Cancer and my father in law Emphysema. Neither of them can grow now you limiting me to grow for myself only what about them?
What about all the other terminally ill people that uses this magnificent plant for pain and other illnesses that can not afford to grow or cannot grow due to a medical condition?

Besides that the ratio for full extract cannabis oil 10g (Cleaned not dry ) to 1ml of oil or dabs so a rough esitmate 1200g = 100ml of oil. Okay, cool, now I made oil for the 2 family members from 2 different house holds that can not grow themselves, that need it. What about me that chooses to use it as a substitute for my drug addiction of meth (I'm 3 years clean of meth thanks to the plant ) and then use it for my own recreational use too? My Wife would smoke with me on occasion too, so how do we get that since we reached our freshold of cured plant to make the oil, now we need to wait for the next harvest.

My 1 daughter also suffers from glaucoma and ultimately its what will help her. My other daughter suffers from ADHD. We started using it to help her instead of pumping her full of big pharma drugs. Now we are being limited as a family to the earthly grown, God given medical treatment of our choice. I think this bill is a movement in the right directions but it needs to go back to the drawing board and get real life cannabis activists involved in the creation of this bill.

There is a public voice to be heard please do not ignore us and let this cry for help go unheard like so many sending there emails to cannabisbill@parliament.gov.za
