(B) used, or is intended by the manufacturer of the product

to be used, for human therapeutic purposes.

the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cwlth).

7 Meaning of cannabis product

(a) that is or was any part of a plant of the genus Cannabis,

whether living or dead; or

(B) otherwise derived, wholly or in part, from any part of a

© that has, or is intended by the manufacturer of the

I read somewhere I think it was the federal classification of cannabis has been changed. its been reclassified as a single compound? Or medicinal cannabis has only been registered as a single compound? I believe this compound was THC. So if I remember correct medicinal cannabis is now marinol etc and not buds. I assume all these new licenses being handed out (?) are for extraction? I can't see pharmacy stocking strains and this has been said by the top dogs that it won't be happening. Let alone a doctor recommending "a fattie before bed".

 

dont be happy or relieved there are new laws in place for Aussies. They stink and don't benefit anyone except for a few terminal ill. Access is pathetic, the govt test plants look like hemp and there's still no clear pathway to having medicinal available. 

 

I dont have any answers only complaints sorry:(

That definition is confusing as all hell. So apparently the object of this Act is to allow prescription of approved "medicinal cannabis" products:

Quote
Object of Act
The object of this Act is to provide for regulated access to medicinal cannabis in Queensland through—
(a) the prescription of medicinal cannabis, under a system of medicinal cannabis approvals, by single-patient prescribers; and
(B) the prescription of medicinal cannabis, without medicinal cannabis approvals, by patient-class prescribers.

 

And yet their definition of "medicinal cannabis" is that it is not a TGA-approved product?

Er...what?

 

The only thing I can think of is that it might be trying to distinguish "medical cannabis" products from the [ultra-low-THC] CBD-oil products which have been quietly TGA-approved for a couple of years now. As in, y'know, actual medical marijuana products, rather than just the hemp-oil stuff that they've approved already. This is just a guess though, as the faux-English they use in those documents makes it really goddamn difficult to understand what the fuck they are saying. Can we please get those SimpleEnglish Wiki people to write up our legislation from now on?

The whole thing is a joke and is intentionally confusing. Just like the the RDT laws.
