Advocates for this change can send an automated email to their elected representative and sign a parliamentary petition through Dr. Walker’s website.
Dr. Walker stated, “I encounter patients almost daily who could benefit from medicinal cannabis for various recognized ailments, ranging from chronic pain to anxiety and insomnia. However, many cannot afford the cost associated with a prescription.
“Both federal and state governments across Australia will claim that medicinal cannabis is legal, but if it’s not affordable and easily accessible for patients who require it, how beneficial is that statement?”
