Doctors and the Liberal Opposition in South Australia are keen for the state to take another look at legalising medicinal use of marijuana. On Tuesday Victoria passed laws to allow children with severe epilepsy to use medicinal cannabis from next year, and New South Wales is conducting a trial for patients suffering vomiting and nausea as a result of chemotherapy. SA Opposition Leader Steven Marshall said South Australia was "well behind best practice". "South Australia has been absolutely dragging the chain on this one ... the rest of the country are looking at this opportunity to relieve people, in exceptional circumstances," he said. He urged SA Health Minister Jack Sn…
