@ProudyMan1 I have been waiting more than 5yrs & many others have been waiting longer for the science & RCTs to catch up to what we already know

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@ProudyMan1 Andrew I understand the future benefits of science & RCTS but that does not help those who need access now Many thousands cannot or don't have the time to wait for the science or RCTs To me that is what the focus should be on, what is needed now

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@ProudyMan1 Too much emphasis on CBD alone 4 me Rightly or wrongly I dont make comments based on science or RCT only on my own lived experience & the experience of those close to me Sometimes science hinders & blocks access to what many need now Anecdotal evidence is lived experience

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@ProudyMan1 Restricting trials to strains & preparations enriched 4 cbd & not THC is promoting the bias Many children & adults with drug resistant epilepsy REQUIRE THC & THCA Every pharmaceutical epilepsy medication has a psychoactive effect Why should the benefits of THC be ignored

@criprights @Patrick_OCONNR @DRC_AU I honestly cld have spoken for at least another hour but I wasn't allowed The commissioner I found out later is wheelchair bound which may have explained her compassion & sympathy

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

In 2019-20 Qld budget the Qld Govt is providing $3.9ml over the next 4yrs & 11 full time equivalent positions 4 the dept of justice & att gnrl, Qld Hlth & QPS This includeda permanent increase in funding 4 the CCQ of $474000/yr Is it just me or is the CCQ underfunded& resourced

@criprights @Patrick_OCONNR @DRC_AU My session was a private session due to a lot of the material was subject to coronal & was for 1 hr. In all honesty i found the commissioner to be very good

@marijuanacomau Small things outrage small minds like Scotty's.

What is the future of AGE CARE in Aust
On ABC news this morning that the Fed Govt has told the RC they dont want to spend any more on aged care & that is why it was privatised. Apparently the commissioners are now divided on what 2 do.
An issue that will one day affect us all

@Lyn_Cleaver When we wld take Suli to ED the Neuro register wld come & ask if we needed anything I wld say yes a MC prescription they wld say sorry we can't do that & go

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@ACTINOSProject @JoshButler @amnestyOz The actions of Qld Hlth & Qld Govt refusing to prescribe a legal MC product for Suli in 2017 were in breach of the United Nations convention of a child's right to life The state shall not make a decision knowing it will cause harm to or the death of a child.

@ACTINOSProject @bruce_haigh My grandfather served in France in ww1 but would never celebrate Anzac day He just wanted to forget

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@criprights @DisabilityRC In Qld you cannot claim compensation for the wrongful death or death by medical negligence of a disabled child as under Qld law their life has no monetary value This means that no law firm will take on my daughters case This is discrimatory & dangerous

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@criprights @DisabilityRC Lack of protection is a deterrent for people telling the truth which they prefer is not told Inclusion, justice & transparency are just words when it comes to disability

@themathendo We can dream cant we

@ACTINOSProject @ProudyMan1 A red bellied black is quite a beautiful snake with its contrasting black & red colours

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@criprights Many families with high needs children live in poverty & after spending their working life caring a parent or parents are quite often left with no job skills or superannuation

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@ProudyMan1 @ACTINOSProject Red belly blacks not as aggressive & are known to keep browns away Lesser of 2 evils

[Steve Peek @StevePeek8]

@criprights UNSW did a report in 2019 for the NDIA & found 53% of disabled deaths in Qld were found to be treatable & avoidable
