澳大利亞單親父親Adam Koessler的2歲愛女Rumer患晚期惡性腫瘤，存活機會渺茫。為了緩解她的症狀，Adam自己買來大麻葉油，混入椰汁給孩子喝下，他說“孩子狀況大為改善”。但法不容情，醫生知情後報警，Adam被捕，以給未成年人危險藥物罪起訴，孩子被政府部門收管。目前More than 30,000 people have already signed the petition, and a further 30,000 have supported a Facebook page highlighting the Koesslers' plight.

A father is facing jail after giving medicinal cannabis oil to his dying daughter as he tried to ease her suffering.
Adam Koessler was arrested and charged earlier this month, after giving two-year-old Rumer Rose the oil as he tried to treat her later-stage cancer.
The youngster has stage 4 neuroblastoma - a cancer which forms in the nerve tissue and has left Rumer with just a 50% chance of survival.
But after giving her the oil mixed with coconut Mr Koessler, from Cairns in Australia, says his daughter showed "miraculous" signs of improvement.
He told Australian newspaper the Newcastle Herald: “Her cancer-ridden little body was alive again – Rumer had almost instant quality of life.
