A couple has made a whopping A$33.7 million donation to an Australian university for research into medical cannabis.
The generous gift by Barry and Joy Lambert is the largest donation ever received by Sydney University, and the couple hopes it puts Australia at the forefront of medical cannabis research.
"Our vision is to make Australia a world leader in researching how to realise the powerful medicinal potential of the cannabis plant," Barry said in a statement.
The main ingredients of marijuana, known as cannabinoids — tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) — have helped those who suffer from epilepsy and reduced the number of seizures. CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not result in a "high."
The Lamberts are grandparents to toddler Katelyn Lambert, who suffers up to 1,400 seizures a day due to a rare form of epilepsy, Dravet syndrome. Her father, Michael, has been a vocal supporter of legalising medical marijuana in Australia. Full story...
