The below is an extract from the attached file Guidelines for the use of Medical Cannabis in NSW & Australia, these are the guidelines proposed by Mullaways Medical Cannabis for legal medical cannabis in New South Wales and Australia. I am interested to know peoples thoughts and comments on this proposal by Mullaways Medical Cannabis?
Licence/Authorisation
The Single Convention establishes a system of controls in respect to the cultivation of opium poppies and cannabis. In accordance with Articles 23 and 28, parties are required to establish a centralised government agency to carry out functions in relation to the cultivation of opium poppies and cannabis, and only cultivators licensed by this agency may be authorised to engage in cultivation.
In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) fulfils this function at the commonwealth level.
Regulation should allow for high strength THC raw product grown for the extraction in to tincture.
All plants or breeds grown must register with IP Australia and comply with all relevant regulations.
Classification of Medical Cannabis Products
Medical Cannabis medicines, such as Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tinctures, require classification of Schedule 4 to allow for diagnosis and prescription by General Practitioners and subsequent accessibility to and from dispensaries.
Schedule 4 (plus inclusion in Appendix D to the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Regulations): Drugs in this schedule are usually those subject to abuse. Supply is by doctors prescription. Health Department approval to prescribe is not required. Other basic controls are the same as for Schedule 4 drugs.
Classification in the Poisons list would allow Cannabis and Cannabinoids to be prescribed by Medical Practitioners. As with other prohibited prescription drugs, all the other prohibitions would continue to apply.
Resin based extraction products are recognised to be a more effective treatment for some cases of chronic illness and chronic pain and need to be made available to patients through hospital admission/referral. While smoking is not a recommended form of administration of medical cannabis, some doctors may deem necessary to recommend to a patient the use of a vaporiser to more effectively treat some conditions of chronic pain and illness. These products also need to be considered for classification to allow for their manufacture to meet demand for use.
Dispensaries
Dispensaries will only be allowed to dispense medical cannabis extraction products classified under Schedule 4. Dispensaries do not manufacture or grow.
