Clinical Leader of Pain Management at one of our DHBs argues the case in favour of doctors prescribing cannabis with appropriate scope and controls - via commenter Annie Helm at Te Standard.
His last para makes a good point:
There is an ethical dimension to this. Given that we have an available, effective treatment for a disabling condition where no other treatment
exists, not to prescribe may be considered to be unethical, even negligent. -
I've seen for myself the difference between use of (legal) opiates and (illegal) cannabis in late-stage cancer. The current regulatory situation is a farce.
I am so impressed with what Helen Kelly is doing for others right to the end. Such an amazing life of contribution. Thank you.

Nothing that would cover this. However he has signed up to the OMSA, which offers a complaint mechanism. Worth a crack.

A fresh example of some local attitudes about disability, whipped up by a sewerblogger (donotlink). This is why we can't have nice things, like respect.
