THE Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia (PSA) has welcomed the
bill to establish a national licensing
and compliance scheme for medical
cannabis.
Health Minister Sussan Ley
introduced the Narcotic Drugs
Amendment Bill 2016 this week
in a bid to allow the controlled
cultivation of cannabis for
medicinal or scientific purposes.
PSA national president Joe
Demarte said the pharmacy
profession supported timely access
to medicines for all Australians.
“Pharmacists have an important
role in Australia advocating for and
supporting consumers and carers
to access appropriate medicines,”
Demarte said.
The PSA supports clinic trials
of the drug and has called for
investment in pharmacist education
on medicinal cannabis.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 12 Feb 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 12 Feb 16
