Survey shows Australian GPs cautiously supportive of medicinal cannabis access

(University of Sydney) A majority of Australian GPs support medicinal cannabis being available on prescription, with their preferred 'access model' involving trained general practitioners prescribing independently of specialists, a national survey published in the British Medical Journal Open today reveals. The majority (61.5 percent of GPs) had received at least one patient inquiry about medicinal cannabis in the past three months but fewer than one in 10 knew how to navigate the bureaucratic processes involved in its prescription.
