Countries belonging to the Anglo-Saxon legal family built this all stages of the control system associated with the cultivation, processing and use of psychoactive hemp, where the maximum use competitive advantages of free, but strictly controlled the market of pharmaceutical products based on hemp or raw materials has a significant amount of psychoactive ingredients.
History
The use of psychoactive hemp on the territory of the fifth continent was considered the expert community and government officials of the country over the past few years. Australia Parliament adopted normative legal acts, in February 2016, legalizing the cultivation and use of psychoactive cannabis for medical purposes. Shortly thereafter, the state government of New South Wales announced the need for a regional clinical trials cannabisa properties in the treatment of certain forms of epilepsy. Representatives of medical institutions of neighboring states supported this kind of initiative, which could no longer "do not pay attention to" the representative of the medical structures at the federal level. The federal government initiated projects aimed at studying the therapeutic properties of the psychoactive cannabis, as well as the clinical trials used appropriate preparations leading manufacturers in this market segment in Canada and England. As a result of research the effectiveness of the use of medical cannabis properties proved by documents, so state officials of the country decided to officially "launch" domestic hemp production of pharmaceutical products. In connection with the above, a few weeks ago, a representative of the authorized state structure, carrying out state policy in the field of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors officially announced that a legal psychoactive hemp crop in 2017 will occupy an area of 2 hectares. Grown raw materials will be used for the benefit of the country's federal health care system.
According to the state structures, the number of hemp raw materials, has a therapeutic effect, grown on a given area will be able to fully meet the needs of patients who are currently allowed to use psychoactive cannabis for medical purposes.
Basic provisions of the Australian system of applying therapeutic properties cannabisa
Patients who will benefit from hemp raw materials for the treatment of diseases must meet fairly stringent requirements put forward to them by the state. The list of persons who are granted the use of hemp medicine includes a strictly limited number of serious diseases: HIV / AIDS, epilepsy (individual forms), multiple sclerosis, chronic pain associated with the occurrence of advanced cancers.
In addition, even the presence of the above diagnoses can not guarantee that seriously ill people to receive the cannabinoid drugs. Normative legal acts of the country of Australia oblige doctors to access medical cannabis only in cases where all other methods of treating a patient proved ineffective. As in other countries, which are allowed to use medicines on the basis of the psychoactive properties of the cannabis doctors to use hemp medicine must obtain a permit federal officials in the health sector. It should be noted that not only the process of completing and submitting the relevant forms for permission to medical personnel is quite problematic, but also the consideration of this issue and the issue of the permit takes a long period of time. Only after receipt of the above authorization Australian physician receives a temporary exclusive right for a limited number of psychoactive materials at the moment of the official importers, as well as the ability to 'use hemp is not a certified raw material in the course of treatment. "
Dignity
Government officials say that over time, depending on the results of the research, the list of diseases that can be treated using pharmacological agents on the basis of hemp, will be expanded.
Disadvantages
The law on the use of the therapeutic properties of cannabis in the medical field at the moment allows to serve extremely narrow category of patients suffering from chronic or serious illnesses.
Currently in Australia has not been created for the cultivation of a comprehensive system of control, processing, distribution and sale of psychoactive cannabis for therapeutic purposes. In particular, no system governing the possibility of psychoactive cannabis cultivation for medical purposes are not government agencies, which, respectively, in the near future will create the conditions under which the possible monopolization of the market by the federal producers psychoactive hemp.
Difficult to a mechanism for obtaining permits for conducting various studies with hemp raw materials to representatives of private business. Currently, access to this kind of experiments allowed only representatives of state structures.
Comment of the Association "Ukrainian industrial hemp"
The use of the therapeutic properties of cannabis in Australia at the moment is not completely settled. It is extremely doubtful, but the market for pharmaceutical use of therapeutic cannabis can potentially replicate the Uruguayan way with all its clumsiness and over-regulation when the state creates a huge number of administrative barriers that do not allow the medical direction konoplevodstva without "corruption component".
Given that the country is not bad is adjusted business connected with cultivation and obtaining from him the pharmacological raw materials, as well as the Anglo-Saxon legal system, most likely legal base in Australia to go the way of Canada, the US or the UK. That is above the country belonging to the Anglo-Saxon legal family built this all stages of the control system associated with the cultivation, processing and use of psychoactive hemp, where the maximum use the competitive advantages of the free, but strictly controlled the market of pharmaceutical products on hemp-based or raw materials has a significant amount of psychoactive ingredients .
