Support for cannabis trials - survey
29/8/08
Most Australians would support clinical trials of cannabis for medical use, a new survey has found. More than 23,000 people over the age of 12 were quizzed about their personal use and attitudes to drugs for the 2007 National Drug Strategy Household Survey by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). Almost 50 per cent of respondents said they would support regulated heroin injecting rooms. The nationwide survey found overwhelming support for legalising cannabis for medical reasons, backed by nearly 70 per cent, while approval of clinical trials for cannabis approached 75 per cent.
