EU ATTACKS CBD OIL TO REMOVE IT FROM CIRCULATION

in #life6 years ago

The fact that you have clicked to read this article suggests that you know how the EU intends to create a huge violation of human rights the moment it acts against this product.
I would therefore ask you, if you live in the UK, to sign this petition immediately and share it on every social media platform that you enjoy.

The cynical and frankly evil intent to remove CBD oil from availability on the grounds that "they were not consumed to a significant degree before May 1997" is ludicrous and reveals an enormous hole in the education of the EU Council and Commissioners. Either that or the DELIBERATE suppression of truth and I know which of these two statements I believe.

Please circulate this article to your MEPs, MPs and Doctors because many of us rely on our daily dose and we are running out of supplies as I type.

You may be wondering why I am so passionately incensed by this diabolical control threat proposed by the EU against cannabis oil.

I am fast approaching 67 years of age.
I have emphysema and oedema.
I take just one capsule of Jacob Hooey CBD oil every morning and I use no other medication.
This single capsule is sufficient to ease the production of phlegm in my lungs because CBD is a powerful antioxidant that works to control inflammation.
I have only 35 days supply left (13/02/2019).

After that friends and family will have to break the law to find sources for me or watch me slowly drown in the fluid building up in my lungs.
I appeal to all readers of this article.
Please contact your representatives and object strongly to the suppression of a product that has proven to be the ONLY thing that works for me.
Thank you.
