PREMIER OPEN TO POT PLAN

THE Queensland Premier says he has an open mind about legalising marijuana for medical purposes but will rely on the advice of national health experts.

Medical cannabis could soon be legalised in NSW with senior politicians indicating support, as long as concerns about how it would be regulated are dealt with.

Campbell Newman says any change in Queensland should be made on the basis of advice from the National Health and Medical Research Council ( NHMRC ), not NSW.

"I have an open mind on these things," he told reporters yesterday.

"There are so many of our life-saving and pain-alleviating drugs that come from nature, and I see it in that context.

"But I'd be interested in what the NHMRC are saying."

THE Queensland Premier says he has an open mind about legalizing marijuana for medical purposes but will wait until after the next election to tell everyone that either we didnt understand what he was saying or his usual tactic of just taking a completely different direction that while we half expected it will be nothing like what the grub promised.

Seriously politicians should be required to keep their promises on pain of death! Or better yet their pensions & benefits, tell a porky & hand back all the cash, cars, office & staff, entitlements to travel etc etc etc!

Yeah the guy's a slimeball. He's quite happy (in the same breath) to declare that we can't afford anything due to our state debt, and then to spend $40,000 of public funds on his own private security for his house. Because he knows that almost everyone hates him. And he certainly hasn't made friends of the bikies :lol:
