Mario Gaspare Oriani-Ambrosini
Thank you for your continued support for my MEDICAL INNOVATION BILL. What is crucial at this point, is that you express your support – if you haven’t already done so – by emailing: mbcoetzee@parliament.gov.za and c.c: berks.ford@gmail.com We need as many emails as possible to be sent and it is essential everyone requests the opportunity to be heard at a public hearing. We need to be sure hearings are held so that the voice of the people will be heard in Parliament. Otherwise, my Bill will be killed and the issue ignored. All comments must be in by March 21st, so there is no time to waste. Please see below for a sample letter you can cut and paste into an email. Once again, I ask you to share this far and wide. Let us mobilize, and let the voices of the people of South Africa be heard. ******************************* Mr. MB Coetzee Secretary to Parliament PO Box 15 Cape Town 8000 South Africa mbcoetzee@parliament.gov.za Dear Secretary Coetzee, On February 20, 2014,Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) MP Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, introduced a private member’s bill that would decriminalise the use of cannabis for medical and industrial purposes. His Medical Innovation Bill proposes changes in policy and to the law, based on the following three cornerstones: a.) allow doctors to administer innovative unproven, but harmless cancer treatments in cases where other treatments cannot provide a cure and on the basis of the patient’s informed consensus, thereby shielding doctors from both common law liability and medical profession requirements. b.) allow the Minister of Health to authorize, establish and resource one or more pilot, innovative cancer treatment centres where doctors are allowed to act in terms of 1(a.) above. c.) decriminalize and liberalize cannabis for medical treatment and industrial use Petition: I, ___________________ , fully support MP Mario Oriani-Ambrosini’s Medical Innovation Bill, to decriminalise the use of cannabis for medical and industrial purposes and call on The Honourable MB Coetzee, Secretary to Parliament, to give me the opportunity to be heard by the Portfolio Committee of Parliament at a public hearing.
