South Africa's Medical Innovation Bill: Disaster approaches....

So i decided to read what is called the 'medical innovation bill' currently slated as paving the road for MMJ in the country. Well now, what we have here is everything BUT a canna bill. This is the part that worries me: The bill provides for the use of, as it is stated, 'non evidence based or illegal' medication to be administered by a physician if he or she feels that 'no evidence based medication will be effective for the condition' HOLY SHIT! No mention of cannabinoids. No mention of peer reviewed study. Now, even though cannabis can be regarded as an illegal medication, and yes, this bill will provide for that, what bugs me is all the other shit floating about that would be freely administered with zero consequence to the physician should things go wrong. Chinese research chemicals. Furthermore, it only provides for one facility, obviously government run. The goal for them is to create a medication that can be patented in order to 'recuperate financial losses due to research into the medication' Now we have a whole mess of excited Rastas and Hippies up in arms and ready to vote this thing in without ever having actually read it. It might open a little road for MMJ, but seeing as it is highly unlikely that a patent will ever arise from cannabis research, it is unlikely that the bill will be used to advance MMJ in Africa. I smell a rat. Somebody got paid off. This is a big foreign company playing the lobby game. Problem is, we now have the 'protection of state information bill' making it illegal for any parliamentary decisions to be made public unless it gets the green light from government. To try find the truth is to risk a treason charge. Africa, FUCK YEAh.

MMJ is an evidence based drug, the scientific community has known this for a while but Govt's don't want to admit it.

South Africa is a shithole anyways, most of the white people get the fuck out and emigrate.

Ebola hasn't hit S. Africa yet, too many white people.

White people tend not to believe healthcare workers are there to introduce the disease, attacking and in some cases kidnapping and murdering them.

They also don't steal blood/piss/shit/vomit covered blankets and pillows from Ebola hospitals.

They also don't bathe with the dead (especially not when they die from a lethal infectious disease) which is proving to be one of the biggest factors in the virus spreading.

So yeah, South Africa is a shithole, but not as much of a shithole as Western, Middle and Eastern Africa.

The "Brown North" on the Mediterranean Coast is actually pretty prosperous too.

Yea. But, I swear I've seen this movie before. It was with Dusty Hoffmans, and that Cuban Goodman fellow. It did NOT end well.

I'll really fuck it up for you.

The original strain kills a load of people, they're begrudgingly release the cure, but Haha! it mutates and then the monkey has the antibodies.

Oh, and Dustin Hoffman and Samuel Jackson are at each other's throats for the whole movie ;)

Africa is China... What the US lays a claim to they are not going to care about these days. Seriously, in the last five years this place has become China's little butt puppet. It reeks. Hope you are doing well Schuy!
