Leaf
An emotional look at the current medical cannabis framework as seen through the eyes of very sick children, their parents and those who break the law to care for them. Australia has now "legalised" medical cannabis but the regulations and red tape makes it virtually impossible to access by those who need it most. For those who can access it the cost is prohibitive. Parents, patients and carers are still considered criminals and they continue to defy the law. They have been arrested and charged with serious criminal offences for taking a position of selfless compassion for those who they love and care for.
