The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales is interested in learning about the experiences of people who use cannabis to help manage their medical conditions and symptoms.

 

If you want to participate in a mail out survey on the uses of cannabis for medical purposes...

I have just spoken to Paul Dillion of aforementioned Org and they are still very very keen to hear from medical users (ANONYMOUS, CONFIDENTIAL ) this information is I belive to assist in the developement of government policy (at least in NSW) and therefore is of huge importance to all medical users. I urge you all to participate. For those too shy or in fear of confidentiality to assist the cause publicly, here is your chance to make a difference.

Brash do you know if they only want NSW people?

[Guest weekprik]

Iam a med user here in Queensland, do they want Qlders tho?

[Guest Wilderbud]

Ill have to wait till pay day [who knows when] so when is the cut-off date for ringing up?

 

Im from QLD also but I want to participate.

[Guest niall]

Can I suggest that someone gets a copy of the mailout, scans it and makes it available here or at MA for people to download and print out so there's no postal address involved?

 

I'm sure it's entirely confidential and there's little to no risk, but more people may get involved if it's even safer?

When Proffessor Wayne Hall was heading the board for the NSW gov. into Marijauan for medicine a couple years ago, they called for submissions.

 

I lived in Tasmnaia at the time, and I asked them the same question.."are they interested in hearing from me? being interstate and all". The answer was yes. They were interested in cannabis user's pattern of use, and success. not where they lived. I wouldn't mind betting this is going to be the same.

 

I'm not in NSW, but as I made a sub for the first part of the NSW Mj trials, I'll be doing my best to make a sub for this too. It's refreshing to know someone has the good sense to ask the butcher.

 

cheers

I will check with them by e-mail tonight but would not expect a response until Monday morning.

Does anyone answer the phone there? I have called several times and get put straight to an answerphone with no message. I'm hesitant to leave a message.

[Guest BridesNightie]

I rang the other day, no reply.

I personally trust the integrity of the confidentiality systems of NDARC. My whole group is committed to filling out the survey. They are sending us a pile.
