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?

There are some vexatious issues about whether or not cannabis use increases crash
risk. … So far as the commercial transport industry is concerned, there is clear evidence of the
use of stimulants and amphetamines. … the use of those sorts of drugs in the commercial
transport industry is still at a worryingly high level.’

They also turn to alcohol and also cannabis, and this is both medicinal cannabis but also illicit
cannabis as well, which is quite rife in this population.

1338 Mr HUGHES: When you say drugs are rife, every now and then the issue of ice
comes up and we're told that it hasn't penetrated the communities, certainly not to any degree, so
are we referring to cannabis, or what drugs are we referring to?

The Australian Illicit Drug Report 2001 – 2002 indicates that the potency of Australia’s
cannabis (derived from marijuana), and amphetamine–type stimulants has increased in
recent years.7 The Committee was told that in people with a pre-existing vulnerability,
amphetamine use and long-term heavy marijuana use may both trigger drug induced
psychosis, involving symptoms similar to those seen in paranoid schizophrenia.

At the moment, we have expiation notices obviously for
cannabis, for shop theft and for traffic.
