Governments have gone crazy, in every part of the World. Don't us old timers wish they would return to the way they were 50 or 60 years ago.
Wally I thought maybe together we could make some whoopee cookies. That might be more complicated. I have looked at the recipe.
Getting Your Ingredients for Your Marijuana Chocolate Chip Cookies
After you’ve prepared the cannabutter, it's time to get the other necessary ingredients together for your cannabis chocolate chip cookies. Overall, this is a relatively easy recipe that should produce about 30 cookies and take about 45 minutes in total, including prep and baking time.
Here are the ingredients necessary to make this marijuana cookies recipe:
3/4 cup cannabutter 2 large eggs 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 tbsp vanilla extract 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 teaspoon fine salt 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet or dark chocolate chips Optional: 1 cup walnuts, chopped, or 1/2 cup pretzels, crushed, for extra texture
The other problem is we can't buy canna butter in Australia, it is illegal. Not able to get Wally to send me some, it would be seized by Customs, and I would be prosecuted. Better give up.

Does Australia not have medical Marijuana? Our next door neighbor has cancer and is having trouble with nausea from the chemo and they have given him cannabis to help him with his nausea and lack of appetite.

Yes Snow Australia does have medical Marijuana. The problem is it is very hard to access. First of all you have to obtain a script from only a few Doctors who are authorised to prescribe it, and it is costly. When you do get a script, it is very expensive. Can set you back $2000 a week. We have researched it a lot because there are two ladies in this house that with their health problems, it could be the answer for them. Unfortunately not within our budget.

Recreational users don't normally exceed that amount either, and medical people get a tax exemption. They do very well on it with their conditions.

It keeps getting cheaper all the time so if it was a couple of years ago it would be worth checking again. The black market is still much less expensive of course. Next year it will be legal to grow two plants in the ACT if you live there.

That crazy! At the moment we're having a price war in Canada, with each different supplier trying to undersell the next one. I live in a small town that we have had 4 outlets open up since it became legal. Online companies are going to free shipping in some cases. With it being legal for everyone and also for anyone to grow their own in small amounts, it's so much cheaper than the black market was.

Sounds good Snow, many people are trying to get the same happening in Australia. Unfortunately Politicians are standing in the way. On the news the other night a man who had terminal lung cancer went on medical Marijuana, and has been free of cancer for 4 years. Down side is it is costing $100,000 a year. We hope common sense prevails and that it becomes more accessible, at a reasonable cost, and soon.

A further benefit of having the competition keep the prices down, it's becoming the far safer option than buying black market pot regardless of the price. All growers that supply Nevada's marijuana are inspected, and a couple have already been called to answer for quality control regulations.

Apart from the lack of government subsidy for cannabis across most medical conditions how are politicians getting in the way? Not that it's much in the scheme of things they just invested $3m in medicinal cannabis research for cancer. I think as of the last couple of months we have imports from Colombia and Lesotho. Also there's much local interest in growing it for the broader Asia Pacific region. The federal government had issued over 80 licences last I heard for Australian farms. The cost will start falling quickly soon!

When I was teaching I would ask the students to watch the news on TV and count the number of times someone was asked for their opinion of what happened. They were upset because there were more "opinions" than "observed details". A lot of people are too impressed with their 3 minutes of fame and speak to impress. I saw a news clip on TV here in Nevada of a man in Montreal claiming to be a representative of English speaking Quebeckers, yet he had the most distinguishable Southeastern accent I've ever heard. Having at one time been an English-speaker in Quebec, I found him to be more hilarious than representative. But he WAS sensational.

Guess ellie's talking about $AU.

Guess ellie's talking about $AU. It's AUD. In terms of what the $200-600 a month buys. If we were being a bit tight $600 would cover a month of groceries including food, cleaning products etc. $2,000 a week on the other hand would pretty much service a $3m interest only loan here!

Charlotte's Web strain was done for a young girl with epilepsy because she was on high doses of medication and pretty much a zombie and still having many seizures a day. When they started her on the CBD oil they changed her life. Many kids in Australia will be able to benefit from medical CBD hopefully.

I think this might be one of the conditions where cannabis treatment currently is quite expensive?? A few of the states here have been trialling it and one has a compassionate access scheme for children not qualifying for the research trials. So while access is not ideal yet, plans for it are underway.

Lucy Haslam from Tamworth has been working hard to try to get medical cannabis made more accessible at a reasonable cost. She has been frustrated at the time it takes for political wheels to turn. She has made many trips to Canberra to lobby the Federal Politicians. Lets hope that her efforts are successful soon as her campaign has been happening for the last 4 years.
An article about it from ABC, written 4 years ago.
Medicinal cannabis campaigner Lucy Haslam has responded to the Federal Government's announcement that it will legalise medicinal cannabis with a cautious welcome.
Lucy Haslam wants to grow and supply medicinal cannabis herself from Tamworth Decision comes after the death of her son from bowel cancer Ms Haslam says recent Federal Government announcement concerning legalisation has not changed her plan NSW Premier Mike Baird credits Haslams as the driving force behind recent initiatives After losing her son Daniel to cancer in February this year, the former nurse has been heavily involved in political discussions surrounding legalisation.
"I am pleased that politicians are ready to get on board but I hope and pray that the outcomes are in the best interests of the patients and that reform is more than political grandstanding," she said.
Over the past year, Ms Haslam has grown increasingly impatient with political delay and has been working on her own initiative to make medicinal cannabis accessible.

Not at all Wally. Medical cannabis is from a variety of hemp that does not contain THC, the stuff that makes you high. Instead it has a high level of CBD, which has proved a great benefit in helping many diseases including cancer. It is strange how people freak out when you mention the word cannabis. Yet they would be happy to take morphine that comes from opium. Smoke opium if you really want to zonk yourself out.
I have a 2x2 friend hooked on endone that is made from opium, but when it was suggested they switch to medical cannabis would not be in it. So strange, does not make sense

Regarding OxyContin, when MDs learn I prefer pain over being dependent on the drug, they express it is nothing I should even concern myself with avoiding. They cannot answer, “why?”

They cannot answer, “why?” Could it possibly be that for you, Dennis, that opioids might help you with the pain and that you won't necessarily need to fear addition when taken appropriately? Also, -not all opioids are OxyContin,

So while access is not ideal yet, plans for it are underway. And expensive makes no sense. CBD helps with so many things. We have a new cannabis patch here in Canada for those with diabetic nerve pain, fibromyalgia etc. It's a CBD patch and it helps with inflammation and nerve pain. It doesn't make anyone high because there is no THC in it. I don't even know why it would be illegal in the first place.

So while access is not ideal yet, plans for it are underway. And expensive makes no sense. Two reasons. 1. Australians are used to cheap government subsidised medications. Cannabis products won't be subsidised until the research has taken place in Australia to determine what conditions these products actually help and what the dosage should be. That could be years down the track. 2. There's supply shortage as we live far away from just about everywhere else and until 3 years ago it was illegal to farm cannabis for medicinal use. The supply problem is very short-term. (If I had more money I would have been buying shares in some of these companies.) I'm not familiar with the patch but CBD oil is not illegal here but obtaining it through the blackmarket is.

I'm not sure if that is legal in all states yet.

Not sure if the cannabis itself is sold yet but every town is working on making it legal .

(I haven't actually seen a video store for years). I think there is even a push to limit nangs in convenience stores here.
