Townsville Bulletin: August 28, 2010

Findings of a Queensland State Government inquiry into cannabis will be issued later this year. Chairwoman of the Social Development Committee overseeing this enquiry, MP Lindy Nelson-Carr, believes “legalisation looks out of the question, given evidence of the harm of cannabis use.” Recommendations to be made by the Committee will “deal with educating school children on the long-term health risks of cannabis use.” The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) made a submission to the enquiry which can be read here: http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/view/committees/documents/SDC/inquiries/Cannabis_submissions/Sub%20048.pdf
