420SA Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 After his long struggle with stage 4 lung cancer our dearest Mario Ambrosini has died. Mario will be remembered for being a strong voice for medicinal marijuana in South Africa. In fact he could very well be the main initiator of South Africa's move to legal medicinal marijuana after he made his direct appeal to Jacob Zuma earlier this year in parliament. Zuma was touched by Mario's appeal and asked for the health minister too look into the matter...which is a start. Mario himself made use of medicinal marijuana to alleviate his cancer pains. He found it very beneficial, however it was very tough to get hold of in South Africa as medicinal marijuana is still illegal in the country. Hence his appeal to the Zuma. His name will never be forgotten. Let us continue his legend and what he fought for. RIP Mario.

SmokeyTheBear Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Well lets just hope the legalization of medical cannabis still goes ahead. We have to start working on legislation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 It's a global wheel that is gaining momentum all around us. It will be legal, and it will be in our life times. What the good Dr. Ambrosini put in motion here, was one of the sparks that started the fire in South Africa. RIP Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
