except.....

 

"Further, the only correct spelling is "dilemma." It's not as if "dilemna" is a substandard variant or regional spelling. Dictionaries often note alternative spellings and sometimes even nonstandard spellings, but "dilemna" doesn't even show up that way."

 

and

 

"The Oxford English Dictionary has just one citation for dilemna, and it’s from 1551. The double m spelling is consistent with the word’s etymology. It’s from Greek δίλημμα, by way of Latin dilemma."

Dilemna solved, Thanks Bulk :)

 

I'm going to keep spelling it the only way I know how

 

Dilemna

 

Love&Light&HaveFun:)

It has an extra sound added to it, but people still know what you mean. Pretty sweet

CPI instrumental in securing Licence from Minister of Health to treat chronic pain with Cannabis

 

November 17th, 2017
 

Press Release

Chronic Pain Ireland announces that their National Secretary, William McLoughlin BL, was fundamental in the securing of a licence from the Minister of Health to import, possess, supply, prescribe and administer Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychotropic cannabinoid and the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis, to be used in the treatment of an extreme case of severe chronic pain.

 

A three month licence was granted on foot of an application made directly to the Minister for Health under section 14 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, in accordance with Part 3, Section 6  of The Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2017 (Statutory Instrument 173 of 2017), by a medical professional for the treatment of severe chronic pain.

 

At the time of applying, there was no set procedure in place and the application was developed by pre-empting any concerns or objections by the Department of Health. The application, upon which the licence was granted, specified that the THC would not be consumed via smoking.  The specified medical professional would administer a starting dose, monitor the patient and adjust the dose accordingly. In the absence of Department of Health guidelines on the use of medicinal cannabis, the Dutch Office of Medicinal Cannabis guidelines were used as a starting reference for dosage, usage, etc. The patient would be under constant medical supervision.

 

The licence granted the importation of THC from one of two suppliers:

1.      The Office of Medicinal Cannabis, Postbus 16114, 2500 BC Den Haag, The Netherlands

2.      Tilray, 1100 Maughan Road, Nanaimo, BC, V9X 1J2, Canada.

 

A draft copy of the application process is viewable here and this can be used as a basis for any application to the Minister for Health.

 

Chronic Pain Ireland believes that access to medicinal cannabis or THC under medical supervision can be used as a method of treating chronic pain.

 

Chronic Pain Ireland will make this announcement at its 25th Anniversary Celebrations on Sunday 19th November 2017 from 2-5pm at the Academy Plaza Hotel, 10-14 Findlater Place, off Upper O'Connell Street, Dublin 1.

 

End.

EMDR can used to treat chronic long term pain & neuropathic pain, accessed it via the NHS here but i was 1 of the lucky ones, summat to look into

 

cannabis tea is worth a look if yer in real difficulties, can lob you a brief how to do thingy, works for me twice a week to get thru specific exercise while avoiding morphine, even tho morphine is lush.....i would really struggle up local mountains w/out the shrubbery, but a small dose has worked while rebuilding limbs, muscles and structural damage. EVen did Pen Y Fan, Britain's highest southern peak a few times this summer, mainly from a flask of special tea & 1 leg slowly in front of the other

 

more 1st world problem, but opiates can be a living nightmare, have you been on Gabapentin or Pregabalin? They're less problematic as long as you dont cane em

 

edit: Sativex is worth investigating too:

Yeah, I've been cancer free for a quarter of a century next May. I've been pain free for almost 20 years since I've been vaporizing, smoking and ingesting various forms of cannabis daily :) I've never been on opiates.

 

I'm just tired of always trying to find my cannabis medicine every couple of weeks while hiding the fact that I use it for medicinal purposes. Getting ripped off a couple times a year, even though I explain I'm in remission from cancer or I get sub standard (just plain shite or wet) cannabis because I don't have another source to choose from. Two decades of the same over and over. It's time to stop.

 

The chemotherapy and radiation damaged my body and when I don't have cannabis I cannot function because of the pain.

 

The CPI news release really made me cry a lot this morning and seems to be continuing into this afternoon. And I don't cry very often! I'm so close to this all being a memory of the past :)

 

Love&Light&HaveFun:)

that's a bummer man, did they say anything about their criteria for 'severe chronic pain'?

 

did you let them know that not getting your chronic is causing you severe pain?

Three conditions of severe chronic pain:

 

• Spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis resistant to all standard therapies and interventions whilst under expert medical supervision;

 

• Intractable nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, despite the use of standard anti-emetic regimes whilst under expert medical supervision;

 

• Severe, refractory (treatment-resistant) epilepsy that has failed to respond to standard anticonvulsant medications whilst under expert medical supervision.

"It is not the job of the Minister for Health to be a doctor."   -Simon Harris, Minister for Health

 

http://www.thejournal.ie/medicinal-cannabis-simon-harris-3582568-Sep2017/

 

 

Hopefully the Dáil will soon pass legislation to make cannabis available as medicine for those with chronic pain and other illnesses in Ireland. It's a good start that it's in committee stage, bypassing the Dáil health committee and HPRA recommendations that the Bill should not proceed.

 

http://www.thejournal.ie/medicinal-cannabis-bill-4-3688962-Nov2017/

 

 

I got carried away by the press release from CPI and thought I just had to bring in the application form to my doctor.

At least my RSO came through today :)

I believe Cannabis will become medicine for all who need it in Ireland next year 2018!!!

Make It So

Sounds like they're saving it as a last resort method. Baby steps but at least in the right direction.

Until then I hope you have a friendly ganj monger who can help you out.

What happened to his third set of arms and legs?

 

Body, Mind and Soul/Spirit is what I've known the three positions to represent

 

The pupils and eyes are different to each other

 

The face has more lines on one side than the other

 

He now has a hernia (look at the bulge above the groin area on the viewers left side compared to the other side)
