Cannabis clinic ready for launch

[Tom]

ORANGE'S cannabis clinic will be fully operational by late November, despite initial frustration.

Greater Western Area Health Service public affairs officer Tony Webber says the clinic is already seeing a small number of clients on an "operational trial" basis.

 

Mr Webber says that once officially launched, the Sale Street clinic will service the Central West and Central West Slopes and Plains.

 

"Services will include detoxification treatments and counselling and support programs for cannabis users and their families," Mr Webber said.

 

The clinic will be opened by NSW Health Minister John Hatzistergos in late November or early December, and is expected to treat 400 highly dependent cannabis users each year.

 

The cannabis clinic is the fourth in NSW, and the first of its kind west of the Blue Mountains.

 

Mr Webber says the clinic will operate from 8:30am to 5pm Mondays to Fridays, also holding evening sessions after its official launch.

 

Clients can be referred by their doctor or by calling 1300 663 433 after the opening.

 

Information about cannabis addiction can be found at the NSW Health website: http://www.health.nsw.gov. au, or by contacting the Alcohol and Drug Information Service on 1800 422 599.

Agreed.

 

Maybe if they educated people first - that is, before they become permanently too stoned for words - there wouldn't be any problems relating to cannabis use.

 

Fools.
