Health/Medical Title: Rumer Rose, once given cannabis oil by her father, dies of cancer A "warrior princess" whose father sparked debate across the nation with his decision to treat her with cannabis oil has died. Little Rumer Rose, who couldn't be named until now for legal reasons, passed away in her sleep early Monday morning, her father told a legion of online supporters. Queensland father Adam Koessler walked out of court in March with a $500 fine and a two-year good behaviour bond after pleading guilty to supplying his daughter with a dangerous drug. The 32-year-old had used the oil treat his daughter's neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer, after she was diagnosed in December 2014 and given a 50 per cent chance of survival. On Monday, with "heavy hearts and many tears", Mr Koessler's supporters delivered the news he'd been dreading for a year and a half, his little girl had died a little more than a week short of her fourth birthday. "We are sure that Rumer came to this earth knowing that she had a monumental battle to fight, and she fought it with everything she had," administrators of the Fearless Father Facebook page wrote. "No-one could have expected that such a tiny little body could endure so much and still keep fighting back time and time again, but that's exactly what Rumer Rose did. "Now the time has come for this little warrior princess and her beautiful smile to shine down on us from the stars above." "The love this little girl has generated around the world has been a phenomenal force, and we would like to thank you all for the endless love, support and prayers that you constantly surrounded Rumer with. "We truly believe that she felt that love, and it gave her strength as she fought each new battle." On Christmas Day 2014, Mr Koessler started to feed his "little monkey" food cooked in cannabis oil, before traditional treatment had begun. Soon after, the child's mother, who had separated from the Cairns man, noticed a funny smell in the food and told doctors, who referred the complaint to police. The rest of the story is here.

It's unfortunate that in this case, the cannabis treatment was not enough to save this child who died from cancer. If I had a child that was dying I would do everything in my power to save her or him, including breaking the law by using cannabis. You two freaks would rather see your own child die rather than try a substance that is not approved by the State. That you seemingly take joy in the death of this child is a sign of your lack of empathy and your inhumanity.
You're both sad, pathetic little men.
#10. To: Deckard (#9) I would do everything in my power to save her or him, including breaking the law by using cannabis. What is your evidence that cannabis cures cancer?
#12. To: Gatlin, GrandIsland (#10) (Edited) What is your evidence that cannabis cures cancer? There is no cure or methods of cure for any type of cancer, known to mankind. There are many therapies, however, some regarded as "unconventional" that change the current way contemporary medical practices evaluate "therapies." I don't think you understand how to separate reality with respect to pure fiction.
