The Tasmanian Greens congratulate Federal Minister Ley for plans to amend the Narcotics Drug Act and allow the regulated cultivation and processing of medicinal cannabis.

It has been a long time coming and is a victory in rational policy.

People suffering from a range of illnesses will be able to access medicinal cannabis to ease their symptoms.

We are pleased to see comments from the Premier indicating he will work with his federal colleagues to see crops of medicinal cannabis grown in Tasmania.
