I have heard some anecdotal
evidence that cannabis, particularly, is moving away from the black market so that organised
motorcycle gangs, etc., are moving out of the cannabis market because people are forming their own
collectives through social media—they call it the 'brown market'—and that is taking some share out
of the cannabis market for these gangs.

FRANKS: I wanted to move to medicinal cannabis and I get that there
is an overlap here with the TGA and the Office of Drug Control, but my questions on notice—because
I am not expecting you to have them in your notes, although I will be thrilled if you do—just how many
medical practitioners have been able to prescribe, whether they are authorised prescribers, or been
able to prescribe medicinal cannabis products; what the categories of health conditions have been
for that; how many patients in South Australia have been able to access medicinal cannabis; and if
there is any breakdown available into things like whether they have been able to access that because
of palliative care versus other conditions, if that could be provided?
