Expert evidence from Professor Jason White,4 pharmacologist, was to the effect that the concentrations of these drugs were consistent with normal therapeutic use, with only mild effects and very little or no impairment of Mr Robertson’s driving ability, either individually or in combination. 10 Also found in Mr Robertson’s blood was 2μg delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per L.5 This is the major psychoactive component of cannabis and may be detected in low quantities up to a day after consumption of cannabis.

New Legislation The following new legislation came into operation during the year: Narcotic and Psychotropic Drugs Act, 1974; this Act redefined Indian Hemp as any plant of the genus Cannabis.

At the request of the Premier and the Minister of Health, the Office has also commenced to evaluate the impact of the amendment to the controlled Substances Act, 1986 which allows for the expiation by payment of a fine of simple cannabis offences.

Section 3 Australia’s criminal environment 19 3 Table 5: Key substances in the Australian illicit drug market Substance Market characteristics Cannabis Serious and organised crime groups are well established in the Australian cannabis market, which is robust and profitable.

Several noted the need to consider problems related to use of amphetamines and cannabis.

I am interested in the new Office of Industrial Hemp and Medicinal Cannabis.
