Medical marijuana is quickly spreading across the entire world as
more and more governments and legislatures find out how well it can be
for those in need. Australia is the next country set to legalize the
usage of the plant in a medicinal capacity, despite warnings about a
regulatory nightmare, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Greens
leader Richard Di Natale, the Regulator of Medical Cannabis Bill, will
ensure the Australian government is completely responsible for the
production and distribution of medical marijuana. The bill was
introduced last year in November and was brought to a committee in
February. The recommendations are set to be delivered in August.
Everyone
who is against the bill in Australia believes it will be a massive
problem to regulate and will clash with the Therapeutic Goods Act.
However, the Health Department is merely voicing their concerns because
they are worried about losing control over the production and regulation
of the drug.
Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbot, stated last year that he supports the drug: “I have no problem with the medical use of cannabis just as I have no problem with the medical use of opiates.” More than likely the bill will pass, regardless of any opposition from other departments.
