Medicinal cannabis prescribers warned over lax consultation | ABC NEWS

[benn0]

AHPRA has taken action against 57 medical practitioners, pharmacists and nurses over medicinal cannabis prescribing practices. New guidelines have been issued after a surge in prescriptions that the regulator said was leading to "significant" patient harm. Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVEPractitioners are being reminded medicinal cannabis is not a frontline treatment for issues like anxiety and insomnia.

The regulator has provided ZERO specific details of ANY *significant patient harm* prescribed cannabis has done to anyone .

So in their own words * they're worried, * however not one single instance of actual harm is mentioned or identified.

Sounds EXACTLY like how the medical profession in Aus prescribes every single other prescription drug on the market.

They're worried................but they don't know what they're worried about

And they said in that video that a further 60 places are being currently investigated, so by the time they are done it will be a lot more than 57.

ED presentations with “cannabis psychosis” apparently.
Catchy term for being too stoned. Yeah ED be a nice place to chill when baked.
Imagine if drunk people were labeled with “alcohol induced psychosis” that resulted in a brawl, assaults, <insert your word here>.
The system’s fucked.

Thought a similar thing, when they think someones talking about them then get into a punch or or think someone looked at them then get into a punch on its a clear loss of reality with violent tendancies

Ok. I must have missed that in the report.

Yeah I can't imagine the occasional paranoid stoner presenting to ED is overwhelming the hospital system.

As I have worked in this industry and constantly spat at and hit only because I won't let any of the girls get abused. I would put myself between them. I would rather someone stoned then someone methed up or drunk.

I could be blending my news and doing my own précis bulletin?
But it did slide past my vision this month, something of the like.
Between the Septic big pharma, the TGA here, the Drs Union it’s a nice distraction from the corruption and finely tuned cash flow system currently in place.
Can’t have the mob growing their own, self medicating; not when there’s tickets to be clipped.
I’m a fan of our medical system though it seems in decline. Bit too $ oriented and losing the founding ethos, but that’s the current direction we have chosen.
I do hope witches and alchemists make a complimenting return.

They're worried about the loss of profit and their brown paper bags of cash from big pharma from people getting off the Endone shit and smoking weed instead the grubs

Yeah alcohol is probably the most destructive drug we have.
I and many mates all have stories the same as yours.
Yeah I've never really done anything bad when stoned.
