For anyone already following the story:
The interim report put forward to the Tasmanian government, calling for an urgent legislative change aimed at protecting seriously ill medical cannabis users from prosecution, has today been rejected.
Tasmanian Health Minister Michael Ferguson ruled out any changes to the current laws, telling the press: "Advice from Tasmania Police is it's not necessary and could potentially create a new set of problems including opening up the risk that people would self-medicate, with no licensing or limit to quantity. The Police Commissioner has said Tasmania Police will not seek to criminally pursue terminally ill users of cannabis."
This, as was pointed out by the initial inquiry, would seem to ignore the fact that there currentlyare a number of Aussies suffering serious and debilitating illnesses who already self-medicate and would, undoubtedly, prefer to be doing it legally and with the proper research, trials, precautions and guidelines in place.
