The Rick Simpson Story

Rick Simpson is a Canadian man who years ago (re-)discovered a 'miraculous' cure for many serious diseases: 'hemp oil' (effectively 'cannabis oil'.) Since then he have healed himself and many other patients, even people with Stage 4 cancer (absolutely free of charge)...Which is exactly Rick's method for extracting and using the 'oil' from the cannabis plants?
