ALLISON McMASTER, a typical mum, had her world turned upside down by a devastating diagnosis of terminal cancer, given less than two years to live. The doctors' prognosis was so grim that her life insurance was paid out and she, her husband and young son started taking their final bucket-list holidays.

It was all Allison needed to start searching for answers and hopefully a cure to this deadly disease. That was in 2013. Now, she is not only free of cancer, but she is in remission. However, it took many operations and much treatment.

Cannabis was her friend, her saviour and the lifeline for which she searched. Allison sings the praises of this wonderful plant which she knows can help so many, and would like to see it freely available to all those who need it.

Allison believes the stigma should be removed, as should the criminal history some find themselves dealing with. She is so passionate about the subject, she wrote a book; 'Terminal to Remission with Cannabis Oil: An Australian Success Story'.

SUNSHINE COAST NEWS

Election Q&A: What are your top three priorities for the Sunshine Coast community?

Allison McMaster, Legalise Cannabis Queensland (Party)

We have one policy which encompasses many issues. There are large numbers of prescribed cannabis patients on the Sunny Coast who are struggling to afford access and products. This is so all over the State. The State government needs to have a subsidy in place for the financially vulnerable or allow them to grow at home if they can. Patients are also being discriminated against in the workforce and on the roads. Medicinal cannabis has been legal for eight years. The laws do not reflect that and I will work hard to make changes in this area. These three things will be my top priority if elected because it will be these people voting for the LCQ in hopes of levelling the patient playing field.
