Despite more than 600 reports of "adverse events" for medicinal cannabis in the past three years, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is yet to investigate the safety of most medicinal cannabis products. It has now launched a review.

The whole article is worth reading but this caught my eye.

The Australian Medicinal Cannabis Association (AMCA) said that without suspected adverse events being published and investigated it was hard to draw conclusions about the safety of medicinal cannabis products.

If the only organisation representing cannabis prescribers is unwilling to comment on safety what does that say about the state of the industry?

    Many aussies think one joint will drop you into lifelong psychosis. Go to Amsterdam where its legal to buy and they just think its another part of the range of substances there.

    The expectation has a lot to do on perceived effects. No way a doctor is gonna get to the bottom of expectations, same way they don’t when they prescribe other drugs with their other dependencies and side effects.

    User beware.
