Isa sa isinusulong ni Dr. Richard Nixon Gomez Bauertek General Manager / Scientist Inventor, na mapansin ang ample supply ng cannabis imbis na masayang lang ito at mapunta sa wala. Dagdag pa ni Dr. Gomez, ang Bauertek Corporation ay kayang mag produce ng Medical cannabis na kayang supplayan ang bansang Pilipinas at magkapag export sa ibang bansa.
Sa ginanap na BAUERTEK Media Health Forum, naging panauhin sina: Dr. Angel Gomez, Board Member, Philippine Society of Cannabinoid Medicine, Masikhay Research, Dra. Donnabel Cunanan, President, Cannahopefuls Inc. and Mr. Evan Alexander Co- Executive Director of Hemp Health & Innovation Expo. Evan Alexander is an 8-time national award-winning marketing, communications, and management executive, and Co-Director of Australia’s Largest Medicinal Cannabis & Industrial Hemp Expo: Hemp, Health & Innovation (HHI).
The situation of Medical cannabis in Australia — “Though Australia has federally legalized access to “medicinal cannabis” for any patient on the written authorization of a registered medical practitioner, a Bill is being worked out to the Senate by the Australian Greens Party. Dubbed as “Legalize Cannabis Bill,” it would provide legislation to grow up to six plants at home, and to sell through licensed cannabis cafes and dispensaries. There would be a national cannabis licensing scheme, and a regulator.”
“Cannabis in Australia is a prescription medicine. Like other prescription medicines, it is prescribed by a doctor making an evidence-based judgment that it is the appropriate treatment for their patient.” Evan Alexander narrated.
Ipinaabot naman ni Dr. Angel Gomez ang kanyang mga hinaing ukol sa mga negatibong impression ng ilang mga otoridad hinggil sa kanilang Masikbay research.
Ayon naman kay Dra. Cunanan, ang medical cannabis hanggang sa mga sandaling ito ay ilegal pa rin sa ating bansa. Maari lamang itong ma-accress sa Compassionate Special Permit, na isang FDA-approved provision. Sa halagang US$32,000.00 na inaabot ito para sa isang taong medication, ito ay “very incompassionate.”
Si Dra. Cunanan bilang guest sa nasabing Media Health Forum, ay may anak na sampung taon ng may Epilepsi, at umaasa siya na mapagaling ito ng medical cannabis. Dalawa pang kasama niyang board member din ng kanilang samahan, na may mga anak din na may karamdaman at umaasa sa medical cannabis, para sa kagalingan nila. Kung kaya kagaya niya, na 13 taon na rin lumalaban at isinusulong na maging legal ang paggamit ng medical cannabis sa bansa.
Nagsilbing host sa ginanap na Media Health Forum sina: Edwin Eusebio at Rolly “LAKAY” Gonzalo.
