AUSTRALIA'S medicinal cannabis industry licensees have come together to form a national advocacy body to support the fledgling industry achieve health and economic benefits for Australians.
Launched by Health Minister Greg Hunt in Canberra yesterday, with support from Labor and the Greens, Medicinal Cannabis Industry Australia (MCIA) will be a strong voice for the sector which is committed to producing the highest quality medicinal cannabis products for patients.
MCIA Chairman Peter Crock, CEO of Cann Group Limited, said it was important that those engaged in the new sector worked together to build a professional and well respected association to represent the best of Australian industry.
"MCIA members are committed to ensuring medicinal cannabis products meet the highest standards and that patients in Australia and internationally benefit from research and product development," Crock said.
"We want to work with Federal and State Governments to achieve a harmonised and robust regulatory approach."
