Allow immediate medical cannabis access for seriously ill Bermudians

The Issue

The Government's proposed 6 month waiting period (for research and recommendation prior to Parliamentary debate) is too long for those dying of cancer and other serious illness.  

The overwhelming majority of Bermudians support medical cannabis access.

US States where it is legal for medicine have seen little to no negative consequences, especially compared to the benefits seen.  Those States have seen a 9% drop in road traffic deaths, a reduction in suicide, and no increase in use of cannabis by minors.

6 months is too long to wait  --  this is a matter of life or death, with overwhelming popular support, and little by way of negative consequences.
