Hello there, what a month it’s been! Hopefully you and your family are in good health.
However, the range of products remains limited and expensive.
Fighting cancer properly, for example, requires at least 1000mg of THC per day (1gm). But the only approved THC product in New Zealand costs $1300 for 81mg THC.
Yes – that’s $1300 for less than 10% of one dose of something that could save your life. No wonder some people still grow their own. Because fighting cancer is a metabolic process that can take months or years, and a year of paying $1300p/day = $474,500. (Out of my reach.)
So, unless you are very rich (or grow your own), dont expect to beat your cancer with legal cannabis unless we #makeitlegal with a YES vote in the upcoming referendum.
GP knowledge remains low in the subject, too. 89% of them are unaware that health depends on cannabis molecules our body makes (endocannabinoids). That’s because medical schools don’t teach nutrition properly; which is how they are made – via Omega fatty acids and AA.
But, if you can afford it, it’s now easier to get some of those molecules from your GP.
The Hemp Foundation has identified through research many other plants that also support human health through nutrition, and we invite you to contact us through www.thehempfoundation.org.nz if you have any questions. (Tadhg Stopford)
