Podcast: Australian Medical Association Tells ABC Radio They Still Can’t Back Medical Cannabis

The ABC reports  There has been a surge in approvals for people wanting to use medicinal cannabis in Australia, from 2,500 last year, to 16,000 this year.

At the same time, a review has found there was much more commercial interest than expected and has recommended that licensing requirements be made less onerous.

The AMA isn’t convinced, saying there is still not enough research to prove medicinal cannabis is safe.
