Please join us! Mr. Weinstock’s presentation will address:
“WEEDs History & Future of Medical Cannabis for Australia”
Daniel Weinstock proposes that, “The legal framework currently around medicinal cannabis in Australia is still evolving and remains tightly restricted by the ODC (Office of drug control) but patient numbers are rapidly increasing. The TGA is streamlining the application process for medicinal cannabis patients and doctors alike. These special access scheme applications can now be lodged online. As WEEDs representative, I look to clarify as many of the medical Cannabis issues that Australia needs answers to. Hope to see you all at our speaker session.”
Patrick Brodnik, Managing Director of WEED Australia & The Cannabis Institute of Australia commented: “WEED Inc. is a multi-national, multi-faceted, vertically integrated world-class cannabis organization focused on the development and application of cannabis and hemp derived compounds for the treatment of human and animal diseases.
"WEED Inc.’s corporate strategy for global expansion started WEED Australia Ltd. Founded in March 2017. WEED looks to lead the way for Cannabis/Hemp research and development to include all of Australia from Perth to Brisbane.”
Mr. Brodnik continues, “Australia’s infra-structure is ideally situated for global expansions for distribution of Hemp & Cannabis products throughout the Asian Pacific Rim. With Australia being the first continent to fully approve medical cannabis research and product, WEED Australia Ltd. is on the forefront of not only medical research & development, but is positioned to drive the next generation of research and data through to product development.
"WEED Australia Ltd. and The Cannabis Institute of Australia (a wholly owned nonprofit of WEED Australia Ltd.) were formed with one of its major goals being: formation of an Australian Scientific Advisory Council, to assist in establishing national protocol and procedures. Educating Australians government representatives, medical doctors, pharmacists and the general public about the value of cannabinoid research, products and treatments is key to implementing national medical cannabis treatment programs. WEED is now taking applications.”
WEED Australia Ltd. and The Cannabis Institute of Australia agrees with Kos Sclavos AM, Vice President the Queensland branch pharmacy Guild of Australia. Kos Sclavos is the Convenor of the Guild’s 2nd national conference, “Pharmacy Connect”.
Kos Sclavos AM ‘Pharmacy Connect’ Convener welcomes WEED Inc.’s sponsorship of the 2019 conference. “There is significant public interest in medicinal cannabis and pharmacists have a key role to play. Pharmacists are often the first port of call for patient enquiries about medicinal cannabis.” Vice President Kos Sclavos continued:
“The conference seeks to build on the knowledge base in this exciting area of research. I encourage the pharmacy professionals to embrace this therapeutic area.”
“….An ever increasing number of Australians accept the role of medicinal cannabis as a therapy option and its benefits in number of therapeutic areas…..”
In another interview Kos Sclavos AM commented,
“….If community pharmacies and pharmacists do not remain informed about medicinal cannabis therapies, there is a significant risk that they will see their patient’s medications dispensed elsewhere….”
“….if the community pharmacy sector does not embrace this therapeutic category, pharmacy faces the risk of dispensing occurring at specialized dispensaries—which in my opinion is against the public interest….”
Patrick Brodnik, Managing Director of WEED Australia & The Cannabis Institute of Australia in response: “WEED Inc.(USA), WEED Australia Ltd., and The Cannabis Institute of Australia officially agree with Kos Sclavos AM. WEED believes in the importance of research & product development, to create therapies and treatments derived from Cannabis and Hemp to successfully bring naturopathic cures to the world. From Australia, By Australians To Australians…Globally!”
