National Cannabis Strategy 2006-2009
On 12 November 2004 the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy (MCDS) agreed to the development of the Strategy, and after much development work, the Strategy was endorsed by the MCDS on May 15 2006. It considers the health, psychological, legal and public health issues associated with cannabis use. This is the first cannabis strategy developed under the National Drug Strategy 2004-2009.
The Strategy also acknowledges and supports the priorities and key result areas of existing strategies and plans from areas such as drug use, mental heath, education and indigenous health, which have relevance to the minimisation of cannabis-related harm.
