Adam Koessler is a loving father who was arrested on 2nd January 2015 for administering medicinal cannabis oil to his daughter Rumer Rose after she was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma. 
 
 Adams bail conditions prohibit him from having direct or indirect contact with his own child who is in the Lady Cilento Children's hospital - South Brisbane. On the 9th January 2015, Rumer was moved to Intensive care after having seizures. 
 
 
 
 It is inhumane and unjust to keep a parent, who acted out of love for his child, wanting to prolong her life, away from her during such severe illness. 
 
 Aside from the excruciating cruelty of eliminating his parental rights set down on his bail conditions, this decision is contrary to what is already known and well documented with respect to the benefits of medical grade cannabis oil. 
 
 
 
 Adam is due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates court on the 20th January 2015 charged with possession of a dangerous drug (cannabis) and administering a dangerous drug (cannabis) to a minor under the age of 16. 
 
 
 
 Medical Cannabis has been legalised in many countries and jurisdictions around the globe. There is ample evidence to show that it has many beneficial effects for cancer patients without the harmful side effects and other associated risks of current drug treatments. In fact working in conjunction with the recommended treatment regime, medical cannabis has also been proven to alleviate these adverse side effects. 
 
 
 
 Adam Koessler deserves to have his parental rights to see his child reinstated, the charges against him dismissed by a court, and the right to decide the treatment options for his own child. 
 
 
 
 In the case of Cooper Wallace in Victoria and his parents Cassie Batten and Rhett Wallace. 
 
 His parents are no longer being pursued for administering medical cannabis oil which has had a significant positive effect on Coopers seizures, however this family were put through a nightmare that should never have been their burden whilst dealing with a severely ill child. 
 
 
 
 Medicinal cannabis oil, its supply and use, should be decriminalised in Australia without further delay. 
 
 
 
 Close to 200,000 Australians support this proposition as evidenced by the Change.org petition in support of Dan Haslam www.change.org/p/jillian-skinner-decriminalise-the-use-of-medicinal-cannabis-for-people-with-terminal-cancer-like-my-son .

 The family is hoping to raise a total of $20,000. 
 
 “There’s all sorts of expenses setting up when we’re living out of our suitcases to make it a bit homely for Rumer,” Mr Koessler said. 
 
 “I was completely devastated when we were told about the diagnosis. 
 
 “But ... I’m feeling really strong and confident now.” 
 
 Rumer will start her first bout of chemotherapy at Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital today and finish Friday, before a two-week break. 
 
 The treatment will aim to shrink the 11cm cancerous ­tumour in Rumer’s adrenal glands. 
 
 “We’re doing as well as we can. Everything is in place,” Mr Koessler said. 
 
 “Things are as good as they can be in this situation.” 
 
 Mr Koessler, who was forced to leave his job to look after Rumer, said he hoped the family could return to Cairns within 12 months. 
 
 “It’s been really hard leaving Cairns and all our family,” he said. 
 
 “Any donations and support we can get really helps us.

 Dear Friends, Family and Internet community. My name is Adam Koessler and this is my daughter Rumer Rose. In the afternoon of 18/12/2014 our lives were turned upside down. We left our family, work and friends in Cairns and are now living out of a suitcase at Lady Cilento Childrens Hospital in Brisbane. 
 
 
 
 
 
 Rumer is two and a half years old and has been diagnosed with aggressive cancer stemming from her adrenal glands. Rumer is absolutely delightful. A strong willed, articulate little lady who is the center of my universe. 
 
 
 
 
 
 I have left my job at St Andrews Catholic College in Cairns to support my daughter and her mother full-time. I aim to aid her recovery by providing the best possible nutrition and natural therapies to complement her chemotherapy treatment. Not to mention 24/7 emotional support. Rumer is Daddys girl and his biggest inspiration. xx 
 
 
 
 
 
 I am truly blessed, I feel the love of the greater community rallying around us and humbly accept any monetary assistance/donations to give Rumer the best chance of recovery. 
 
 
 
 
 
 With much gratitude, 
 
 
 
 
 
 Adam Koessler & Rumer Rose

 What is GoFundMe? ||||| Rumer Maujean's cancer fight 
 
 My name is Sacha Maujean and I am a sole parent to my 2 beautiful daughters Romany Maujean aged 10 and Rumer Maujean aged 2. Unfortunately just before Christmas at 2am one morning I rushed little Rumer to the Cairns Base Hospital where they did extensive tests and then told me the devastating news that my gorgeous little baby girl has a large cancerous growth measuring 11cm long. They flew us down to the Lady Cilento Childrens Hospital immediately. 
 
 More and more awful testing and on Christmas eve they told me Rumer had a large neuroblastoma tumor and stage 3 cancer. She has a 50% chance of recovery. 
 
 Luckily Queensland Health supplied us with our flights down to the Hospital and allow me to live with Rumer in the hospital. But we are looking at around a 2 year stay down here, away from our home, family, and friends. If anyone would like to help my daughters and I out by donationg we would be VERY grateful, as this is a difficult time for us and Rumer's big sister Romany who is still in Cairns. 
 
 Thank you! 
 
 Love Sacha and Romany and Rumer :)

 What is GoFundMe?
– A 2-year-old girl was recently given a 50/50 chance of surviving stage 4 neuroblastoma cancer, and dad Adam Koessler wants to do everything in his power to boost those chances. The Australian man started putting cannabis oil in Rumer's food and noticed "extremely beneficial" and even "miraculous" results, he says—but on Jan. 2, he was arrested and charged with supplying dangerous drugs to a person under 16. While on the cannabis oil (which does not contain the compound that gets marijuana users high), Rumer was in less pain, had more energy, and was able to eat, gain weight, and even go outside. "Her skin color came back, her eyes were sparkling again," her father says. "Her cancer-ridden little body was alive again." Without the cannabis oil, her condition has declined and she's in intensive care on morphine, the Newcastle Herald reports. Medical marijuana advocates are standing behind Koessler, who—as part of his bail conditions—is not allowed any contact with Rumer. The NSW Hemp Party spokesman points out the fact that Rumer was put on opiate painkillers after being forced off cannabis oil and says, "The current legal position regarding the enforced medical treatment of an innocent child is unconscionable." The Cairns community is also rallying behind Rumer and her family, donating money toward Rumer's treatment, the Cairns Post reported last month, shortly after Rumer was diagnosed on Christmas Day. Two crowdfunding campaigns have raised more than $30,000, and a Change.org petition for Koessler to see his parental rights reinstated and medicinal cannabis oil to be decriminalized has more than 157,000 supporters. A Facebook page apparently run by Rumer's mother (her parents are not together, according to her dad's GoFundMe page) says her cancer was recently downgraded to stage 3. (This dad credits his son's recovery from cancer to cannabis oil.)
