Cannabis in Australia -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in Australia, with a reported one-third of all Australians aged 14 or older (33.5%, about 5.8 million) having tried cannabis and 1.6 million using it in the past year.[1] It is estimated that 750,000 Australians use cannabis every week, and approximately 300,000 smoke it on a daily basis.[2] Australia has one of the highest cannabis prevalence rates in the world, and research shows that Australia's indigenous population has markedly higher levels of cannabis use. Cannabis is illegal in Australia; however, unlike the USA the country has largely avoided a punitive drug policy. Instead, it has developed harm-minimisation strategies and a treatment framework embedded in a law-enforcement regime.
... Medicinal use |
The use of cannabis for any purpose is illegal in Australia. Clinical trials of cannabis for medicinal purposes have been suggested; however, no jurisdiction has indicated it will conduct trials in the near future and there does not appear to be widespread support for medical trials at the government level.

| Is cannabis illegal in Australia? -
It is illegal to use, possess, grow or sell cannabis in Australia, but the penalties for cannabis offences are different in each state and territory. In some states, if someone is caught with a ‘small amount’ of cannabis they may be given a $50 fine, while in other states they may be charged with a criminal offence and receive a much larger fine, or even be sentenced to jail. The definition of a ‘small amount’ of cannabis also differs between states and territories. In response to increases in hydroponic cannabis cultivation (cannabis grown in nutrient rich solutions usually under artificial light), the Australian Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act (1985) was amended in 2006. The amendment reduced the amount of indoor cultivated cannabis needed to qualify for a ‘commercial quantity’ and ‘large commercial quantity’.
What is the difference between decriminalisation and legalisation?
... In 1987, South Australia was the first state to decriminalise minor cannabis offences. The possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana ... go to NCPIC’s Cannabis Legislation ...

International law
Marijuana is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:
A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.
This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of marijuana to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.

| I’ve introduced a bill which would allow fines to be waived for the personal cultivation and use of marijuana for people suffering designated medical conditions. This would be on the proviso that a medical practitioner has signed a palliative cannabis certificate, saying that the person is suffering from a specified illness or disease, the symptoms of which might be palliated by the smoking or consumption of cannabis or cannabis resin.

Each year in Australia there are approximately 19,000 deaths from the use of tobacco, 2,000 from alcohol and 1,000 for all other illicit drugs combined. Paracetamol kills 400 people per year, and even aspirin causes more deaths than cannabis. In fact, ABS figures do not show cannabis as causing any deaths.

eMJA: Rising cannabis use in Indigenous communities (ORG, LINKs {News, 2002} ) (Medical Journal of Australia) MJA 2002 177 (7): 395-396 by Alan R Clough, Sheree Cairney, Paul Maruff and Robert Parker * NT police have targeted cannabis in remote communities. ... Letters - Rising cannabis use in Indigenous communities. TO THE EDITOR: We write to alert policy makers and clinicians to the challenge presented by rising cannabis use in north-east Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory, given that many current cannabis users were previously petrol sniffers. In the past five years, there has been a rise in cannabis use and evidence of expansion of supply links in the Miwatj region.
There are concerns that rising cannabis use is associated with social effects: increased family violence, drug-alcohol psychosis, self-harm and suicide, and community disruption. Policy makers seeking to foster initiatives to minimise harmful outcomes must develop general policies that can have local effects in a varied Northern Territory population. NT police have targeted cannabis in remote communities. A Substance Abuse Select Committee and Illicit Drugs Task Force, each with Indigenous representation, will report to the NT government during 2002.

These recommendations do not address the needs of those currently using cannabis for medical purposes, as THC is not registered for medical use in Australia ... Cannabis has been advocated as a treatment for nausea, vomiting, wasting, pain and muscle spasm in cancer, HIV/AIDS, and neurological disorders. Such uses are prohibited by law; cannabinoid drugs are not registered for medical use in Australia and a smoked plant product is unlikely to be registered. A New South Wales Working Party has recommended granting exemption from prosecution to patients who are medically certified to have specified medical conditions. This proposal deserves to be considered by other State and Territory governments.
IN AUGUST 1999, the New South Wales Premier convened a Working Party on the Use of Cannabis for Medical Purposes1 to advise on whether cannabis and cannabinoid drugs had any medical uses and, if so, to suggest how these substances could be made available for medical use without decriminalising cannabis for non-medical use. The Working Party's report was tabled in Parliament on 1 November 2000. Its recommendations were endorsed in principle by the Premier and are currently being considered by the NSW government. We believe that they deserve wider consideration.

National Drug Strategy (Australia) Position: Now Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should marijuana be a medical option?" Reasoning:
"In Australia the use of cannabis for any purpose is illegal. Although there have been some suggestions that clinical trials of cannabis for medicinal purposes should be conducted (e.g. the NSW government in 2003), no jurisdiction has indicated that they will conduct trials in the near future, and there does not appear to be widespread support for medical trials at the government level.
There is some evidence, from clinical research and case reports, that cannabis (more specifically, the cannabinoid THC) reduces nausea and stimulates appetite, which can benefit cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and those suffering from HIV/AIDS-related wasting syndrome. There is some evidence suggesting that THC can also assist with the symptoms of multiple sclerosis due to its anti-spasmodic properties (e.g. Zajicek et al., 2005). Cannabis may have analgesic properties which could benefit sufferers of a wide range of disorders, and may also act as an antiglaucoma agent (see Hall et al., 2001, for a review)."

Medical Marijuana in Australia. Australia has suddenly taken the lead in the rapidly accelerating global debate over marijuana's medical use.
Last November, politicians in the Australian Capital Territory voted to allow doctors to determine when marijuana is medically appropriate. The decision enraged the Australian Federal Police and intensive lobbying efforts began to reverse the legislative action. In a scene that has become all too familiar, legislators caved-in to the demands of the police, reversed their earlier action, and voted to block doctors from legally prescribing marijuana.

Nelson, Ph.D., Centre for Humanities and Human Sciences, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW 2480, Australia. ABSTRACT. This paper argues that the so-called cannabis 'amotivation syndrome', widely reported in the literature, may not be a single nosological entity, but represent, instead, a change in cognitive style emerging as a result of cannabis's ability to facilitate a unique attentional state favoured by those who have a higher than average level of a personality factor referred to as 'trait absorption'.
Exaggeration of the absorptive style of cognition through cannabis use, when taken in the context of either a pre-existing or a reactive depression, may be what has been mistakenly categorized as 'amotivational syndrome'.

Executive Summary: “Medical marijuana is controversial for one reason; namely, as part and parcel of its beneficial medicinal properties, the plant produces a mild shift in consciousness that many people find enjoyable, beneficial, and in some cases spiritual. Under well-established legal principles related to intellectual freedom, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and privacy, the government is not permitted to restrain the manner or mode in which a person thinks.
The Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics submits this analysis to clarify that concerns related to the psychoactive effects of marijuana (when used for medicine or otherwise) are not only misplaced, such concerns are contrary to law in light of our nation’s abiding respect for individual liberty and freedom of thought.” File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTMLMedical marijuana is controversial for one reason; namely, .....

Cannabis use in Australian teenage girls on a high -
15 March 2002 |
Teenage girls are now just as likely as teenage boys to use cannabis, according to Australian research that contradicts the findings of earlier studies.
A household survey found one-quarter of adolescents aged 13-17 had tried cannabis. Use in teenage girls had increased at a more rapid rate.
'This contrasts with earlier studies which reported strong gender effects with both the prevalence and frequency of cannabis use being higher among males than females,' the researchers wrote in the British Journal of Psychiatry (2002; 180: 216-21).
A total of 1261 adolescents, representative of the population, was included in the survey.
Cannabis use was also found to increase rapidly with age, rising from 7 per cent among 13 year-olds to 41 per cent in 17 year-olds. The drug was also more popular among those who lived with a sole parent.

The Cancer Council New South Wales :: Medical use of marijuana (cannabis) Fact Sheet (ORG, Info) Cannabis is a herbaceous plant belonging to the hemp family and has two subspecies - cannabis sativa and cannabis indica. It is cannabis indica which is the main source of the drug marijuana and various other preparations.
Cannabis usage usually takes the form of smoking herbal cannabis (marijuana) consisting of dried leaves and female flower heads.

Cannabinoid receptors are found in distinct areas of the brain and spinal column.

Ok, i believe that you are alowed to grow up to 3 plants in most states of Australia except for victoria and maybe NSW where u cant grow any, but in western Australia you can grow up to 7 plants and you are able to consume this on your own private property.
When i was still in high school we had someone come and talk to us about drugs and he said that.
There are also places like nimbin in NSW that is basicle like ampsterdam, although it is still illigal you can pretty much openly buy, sell and smoke it on the street and the cops dont care at all. Google Nimbin if you dont believe me .

N.J. Senate approves medical marijuana bill -
Monday, December 15, 2008 |
TRENTON BUREAU:
A Senate committee today cleared a measure that would allow medical use of marijuana in New Jersey.
The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee voted to approve the long-stalled bill by a 6 to 1 margin; two senators abstained.
The bill calls for creating “alternative treatment centers” where people with chronic and terminal diseases would be allowed access to marijuana. Supporters say marijuana is a viable treatment option to alleviate pain in many cases.
“It is the definition of basic human decency that we do whatever we can to ease the pain and suffering of people living with severe chronic and terminal diseases,” said bill sponsor Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union.
“When all other avenues of currently-approved pain relief have been exhausted, we need to give doctors the freedom to prescribe medical marijuana to give their patients a measure of comfort and dignity in the face of their debilitating diseases. This bill is about the most humane, compassionate option for those state residents who have nowhere else to turn in managing their illnesses.”
If ultimately approved by the full Legislature and signed by Governor Corzine, New Jersey would be the 14th state to allow medical use of marijuana.

A new study entitled Marijuana Effectiveness as an HIV Self-Care Strategy, which was released this past weekend in Clinical Nursing Research, indicates that persons living with HIV/AIDS rate cannabis as more effective in treating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, and neuropathy than other prescription and over the counter medications.
The study, which was conducted over a two year period and included 775 patients from the USA, Africa, and Puerto Rico, assessed the use of cannabis as a symptom management approach for anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy. 27% of survey participants reported using cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Researchers wrote that cannabis use “was rated slightly more effective than antidepressants for anxiety and depression, Imodium for diarrhea, [over the counter] (OTC) medications for fatigue, and anti-epileptics and OTC medications for neuropathy” while cannabis was rated “slightly less effective for nausea than either prescribed or OTC medications.” Authors concluded that cannabis “is perceived by users as at least as effective as prescribed medications in symptom management.”

Toronto Hemp Company (THC) - Information - MAPS and NORML studies (BIZ, News {2003} ) STUDY SHOWS VAPORIZER CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE TOXINS IN MARIJUANA SMOKE. Harmful toxins in marijuana smoke can be effectively avoided by a vaporization device, according to a new study by California NORML and MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) with support from a grant from the MPP (Marijuana Policy Project).
The study, conducted by Chemic Labs in Canton, Mass., tested vapors from cannabis heated in an herbal vaporizer known as the Volcano® (manufactured by Storz & Bickel GmbH&Co. KG, Tuttlingen, Germany; http://www.storz-bickel.com) and compared them to smoke produced by combusted marijuana. The Volcano® is designed to heat material to temperatures of 130° to 230° C (266° to 446° F) where medically active vapors are produced, but below the threshold of combustion where smoke is formed.

Australian Police Seize Medical Cannabis; Reach New Low
-
By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ in Global, Growing, Medical;
Friday, March 16, 2012 |
The New South Wales Police have hit a new low by descending in an expensive taxpayer-funded operation with a police helicopter and confiscating a medical cannabis crop intended for patients. The crop was a strain of cannabis bred specifically to be extracted into a medical tincture.
Each of the plants had been labelled for specific patients, according to Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd. "Through the confiscation of this medical cannabis crop, the NSW Police have deprived many Australians of their medicine," Mullaways said. "It is a form of discrimination against sufferers of chronic illness and pain who need this medicine -- medical cannabis."
More than 300 chronically ill and dying patients will now be deprived of this indispensable medicine used for the relief of pain and suffering.

Medical cannabis dispensary - Nimbin,

LIA'S first medical cannabis dispensary is operating from the back of a van in a car park at Nimbin.
For more than a month Tony Bower, of Kempsey, has been dispensing 25-millilitre vials of his therapeutic cannabis tincture free to anyone who can produce a medical certificate confirming their condition.
His chronically sick patrons, who include those with AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis, number in their hundreds. Mr Bower is an Aborigine and said it was against his culture to refuse to help them.
The problem is that it may be illegal, but it is hard to tell.
"It's a grey area," Debra Sands, Mr Bower's lawyer, said.
"It's complex, and it's incredibly political. Tony wants to bring his product to market, but has been repeatedly frustrated by the health bureaucracy. Meanwhile, the police don't seem to want to know about him." Read more:

IngentaConnect Medical Marijuana Initiatives: Are They Justified (BIZ, Article {2003} ) Medical Marijuana Initiatives: Are They Justified? How Successful Are They Likely to Be? By Authors: Hall W.; Degenhardt L. Source: CNS Drugs, Volume 17, Number 10, 2003, pp. 689-697(9). Publisher: Adis International. Abstract: The principal constituent of cannabis, 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is moderately effective in treating nausea and vomiting, appetite loss, and acute and chronic pain. Oral THC (dronabinol) and the synthetic cannabinoid, nabilone, have been registered for medical use in the US and UK, but they have not been widely used because patients find it difficult to titrate doses of these drugs.
Advocates for the medical use of cannabis argue that patients should be allowed to smoke cannabis to relieve these above-mentioned symptoms. In the UK and Australia, committees of inquiry have recommended medical prescription (UK) and exemption from criminal prosecution (New South Wales, Australia), but governments have not accepted these recommendations.

Australian state to try out medical marijuana -
Associated Press,
Updated: Tue. May. 20 2003 |
SYDNEY, Australia — Following the lead of Canada and the Netherlands, Australia's most populous state has decided to allow the medicinal use of marijuana for pain relief in a four-year trial, authorities said Tuesday.
New South Wales state Premier Bob Carr said the trial was aimed at alleviating the chronic suffering of people with severe pain.
"This is a compassionate scheme," he told the state legislature in the capital, Sydney. "It's directed at people like the 62-year-old man with bowel cancer ... (who) uses cannabis to relieve pain and to beat the nausea that stops him from eating."
Carr said the trial, believed to be the first in Australia, will include strict safeguards. Legislation clearing the way for the experiment is expected to pass later this year.

US Government Says It Will Stop Interfering with Medical Marijuana |
According to this article, US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that states will be allowed to make their own rules about medical marijuana, and that the US federal government will stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in California. (See article “Can Marijuana Help Rescue California’s Economy?”at this link)
In the 1990s, several US states passed referendums which allowed marijuana to be used legally for medical purposes. In a referendum, the registered voters vote directly on the proposed law, as opposed to the law being passed by the state legislature. Thus, when these states passed these referendums, it meant that the citizens of these states really wanted medical marijuana to be made legal.
However, in a blatant disregard for democracy and the people’s will, under the Bush administration, the national government refused to accept this law, and carried out raids of the medical marijuana dispensaries.

Australian drug laws closely followed the development of international drug treaties. Up until the late 1960s, few law enforcement resources were devoted to policing drug laws. This was due to relatively little use (or public awareness) of illicit drugs. By the early 1970s, however, there was an upsurge in the use of illicit drugs. A number of studies report an increase in the use of marijuana and heroin. The increase in heroin dependence during the early 1970s corresponded with a marked increase in property crime. It was widely assumed that these developments were linked.
During the 1970s and early 80s Australian drug policy mirrored the tough-on-drugs approach of the United States. Penalties were raised, the burden of proof needed for conviction was lowered, and civil asset forfeiture laws were introduced. Penalties for marijuana were severe and based on legislation introduced in most of the States and Territories towards the end of the 1800s and early 1900s (primarily concerned with the smoking of opium by Chinese people). Tough law enforcement was viewed as the primary solution to the problem of illicit drug use. A change in some of the attitudes towards illicit drug use first came about in relation to marijuana use. For the most part marijuana was little known or used in Australia until the 1960s.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis |
If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids.
Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.
