  • Aah, We See Parliament Is Looking To Revive The ‘Dagga Bill’

    With Mario Ambrosini’s death last month, the Inkatha Freedom Party MP raised the question once again of decriminalising the use of marijuana for medical use.

    Ambrosini admitted in February, in the National Assembly, that he had used the illegal drug during his battle against cancer. He was positive that the use of marijuana had extended his life expectancy.

    “People are dying because of bad policies and bad laws, which we can change. There are available cancer treatments, which are not made available from a legal view point.”

    A motion has been tabled by ANC chief whip Stone(d) Sizani to revive the Bill that Ambrosini had tabled earlier in the year.

    By June this year, the bill had received over 1 900 public comments, mostly in support of it.

    “A profound shift at play in the worldwide mind-set of health regulations.”

    A similar Bill has been introduced into the House of Lords in the UK, which also received a widespread public thumbs up.

    The change in law would allow doctors to administer “innovative unproven, but harmless cancer treatments” where other treatments have failed.
