CANNABIS should be approved for medicinal use to help people suffering chronic pain, advocates have told a NSW parliamentary committee.
Cancer survivor Sally Crossing told a public hearing at parliament house on Monday it appeared self-evident that cannabis relieved pain for many sufferers.
"It's just a matter of being kind and helpful to people who need help," said Ms Crossing, who is the deputy chair of the volunteer advocacy group Cancer Voices NSW.
The committee is inquiring into the feasibility and safety of using cannabis as a medicine, the legal implications and how cannabis could be supplied to patients.

3.9 tons of pot discovered in Texas gas tanker truck
Posted: Friday, April 5, 2013 11:07 am
TEXAS - A routine traffic stop this week quickly turned into a major drug bust for Texas Highway Patrol troopers, who seized 3.9 tons of marijuana from a tanker rig.
The pot, valued at more than $3.4 million, was concealed inside a tanker truck.
Officers pulled the driver over northeast of Corpus Christi for a commercial vehicle inspection Tuesday and discovered the stash.
The driver, 45-year-old Paul Anthony Simmons, was arrested on a marijuana possession charge and a $1 million bail was posted.
It has been announced that the Uruguayan government will issue between 20 and 40 licenses to grow cannabis. Once grown by private land owners, the marijuana will be transferred to the State, which will be the only organisation allowed to sell it to consumers. ....
Just Imagine how different the world might be drug wise had the USA not gone after drugs the way it did in the 1930's. Most country's modeled their drug laws after the USA. I think after the old folks whom bought into refer madness and the government propaganda targeted at drugs die out over the next decade (stop voting lol) the swing to freedom will be very pronounced.
I was reading that wiki page you posted again and saw this ... "Furthermore, possession is legal or effectively legal in the Netherlands, North Korea,[2] and the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado at the state level."
WTF?!?! NORTH KOREA? SERIOUSLY? I think someones playing games on Wikipedia?

Call for cannabis to relieve pain in NSW
CANNABIS should be approved for medicinal use to help people suffering chronic pain, advocates have told a NSW parliamentary committee.
Cancer survivor Sally Crossing told a public hearing at parliament house on Monday it appeared self-evident that cannabis relieved pain for many sufferers.
"It's just a matter of being kind and helpful to people who need help," said Ms Crossing, who is the deputy chair of the volunteer advocacy group Cancer Voices NSW.
The committee is inquiring into the feasibility and safety of using cannabis as a medicine, the legal implications and how cannabis could be supplied to patients.
Ms Crossing said her group was in favour of medicinal cannabis use with the proper legal and medical protocols and assurance of safe delivery.
