Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

There is an old saying that ' hard cases make bad law' just because 0.001% of the population with rare conditions may benefit ( ? ) and a campaign by ' who shouts the loudest' people we now in theory have a law allowing doctors to prescribe ' that which has been demonized for decades' - except apparently this oil is no good for the campaigners as they need ' really strong whole cannabis oil' made from the whole plant, not this weak as water refined stuff that can be prescribed - watch this space.....

after telling the public that it was bad for you yada yada for 40+ years it now has medical uses. nothing to do with the owner of the company giving the licence being friends with someone.. no not at all.

only saying as i picked up a leaflet in the chemist earlier and asked if it was a joke..
Contains no TCH, which is why the medicinal use has been allowed, so you can use as much as you want, but you won't get high

My minor grip. Cut my finger today at work.
Still can't get it to stop bleeding. Really can't be arsed to go and sit for hours waiting in ER to get it stitched. Fingers crossed, or pressed tightly, that it stops soon.

Good luck to those of you with bigger problems than me.

My four year old grandson, autistic, heart transplant recipient is now about to have kidney failure.
His kidneys have 20% function. He will go on dialysis at 10%.
Not strong enough for a transplant and doesn't qualify. His body is shutting down his kidneys. New kidneys if he survived would suffer the same fate.
They are going to be trying some experimental treatments in the next few weeks. Possibly removing him from all rejection drugs to see if his body can fight this off but at a great risk of his heart being rejected.
Doctors today at one of our best hospitals on the east coast not offering much hope.
His mum left him at 1 and he has been living here since being raised by me, my wife and my youngest son (his dad).
He is like our own child to my wife and I.

It's things like this that put everything in perspective. I've got lots of worries and stress at the moment, but all of it will pass or is fixable and pales in comparison to reality like yours.


Wishing you and the little guy all the luck and hope in the world.
