Australians Overwhelmingly Support Medical Cannabis
A recent poll in Australia found that 91% of those asked–644 individuals aged 14 and older–support medical cannabis. Interestingly, support was highest among those older than 50.
This isn’t entirely surprising, considering Australia is known as one of the countries in the world, alongside the U.S., with the highest cannabis consumption. Still, a majority there do not support legalization for non-medical use.
In the last year, Australia has become poised to be a world leader in medical cannabis research. This summer, Barry Lambert, a wealthy philanthropist, gave more than $30 million to the University of Sydney toward research into the plant’s therapeutic potential; his granddaughter has an epileptic disorder and he felt she could benefit from medical cannabis. There is now a push at the federal level to allow for cultivation of medical cannabis for research and for use by qualifying patients.
