It's too bad you can't get in Austrlia, here in the states it varies from state to state. I live in California and it is legal to have a medical marijuana card here, although with all the regulations and rules once you do find a good supplier they are closed down because they didn't dot all their I's and cross their T's. I have never thought of using the oil, we use the oil to make a base to make ateables, such as brownies, cookies, I did hear someone say they used the oil on salads, might be worth a try. I don't smoke it because just not my thing but the pills helped me the most, they have different strengths, and different types stativia and indigos, depending on what you are using it for they tell you which to purchase. My daughter uses it for her fibromyalgia, and it has done wonders for her, we had taken her to several different doctors and they put her on all kinds of medications but nothing worked until we used the medical marijuana, and because of her success when I developed colon cancer and was so sick, couldn't keep anything in my stomach, very weak and my whole body ached with severe pain this was the only thing that helped me get back to myself. I also used the lotion, made with the oils, I would rub it on the sensitive areas and within seconds I could feel a difference. So if you are able to get it, it does work. I was a skeptic and I worried about what other people would think before, but after getting cancer you got to just think of what works best for you and not worry about what others think. So, good luck to you all and please let us know how your husband is doing.
