My name is John Berfelo and I am a Category 1 Marijuana Medical Access Program card holder I suffer from severe pain and/or persistent muscle spasms from a spinal cord injury and other conditions related to my 28ft fall at work. The MMAR provides seriously ill Canadians with access to marijuana for medical purposes. This is a video to WorkSafe B.C and WCAT to provide them with current infromation on cannabis for pain control. WorkSafe B.C has denied medical cannabis coverage to all seriously injured workers and states it has no medical value and cannabis dose not help relive systems or relief from chronic pain, non-malignant pain. WorkSafe B.C has not updated there cannabis information and gets there information from an out dated 2002 manual from the Alberta compensation board on cannabis medicine..
With new evidence and the explosion of cannabis medicine in the past 10 years and the resonantly discovery of the Endocannabinoid System
I am also the 2011 Treating Yourself Medical cannabis cup winner and only use cannabis and amino acids for pain control.
Peace JB

  • Thanks John. Really wish I could do all this paper work for appeals etc but I am literally too traumatized to do it. I CAN'T! appeal. Too bad they haven't murdered me yet. They keep trying, I keep surviving. I just wanted to let you know I am serious abut charging the government for "Deliberate Indifference" to the pain and suffering of WCB patients. Get well and back to work? Not with WCB. Great video. May I use it on my Channel please?.

  • @SuperNewf1

    I am now off to Supream court, WCAT denied cannabis for injured workers suffering from chronic pain due to spinal cord injury. I will take this all the way to the end for every injured worker that uese cannabis for pain control.. And please share and send to everyone.. Peace ..

  • I commend you on what you are doing, I am fighting the same issue here in the us. I was wondering if you have all ot you information electronicly and if so can I get it from you. I am trying to get cannabis legal here in Ga, And I think what you are showing combined with what I have will greatly support my cause. Please let me know. and again thanks for all you are doing for the sick and suffering.

  • @robertsmi9 If you email me at johnb420@gmail.com I can send you most of the information on the video and a few other papers I submitted earlier in my appeal that was not on the video.. Peace happy to help. :)

  • John at the top of your video there is a message; "This video is unlisted. Only those with the link can see it." Thought you might want to check that.

  • @robertsmi9 Also check out L.E.A.P. (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition). Also cannabisscience(dot)com. These two have lots of info and L.E.A.P. might put you in touch with some real police officers in Georgia who could help. Best of luck to you.
