I have heard some anecdotal evidence that cannabis, particularly, is moving away from the black market so that organised motorcycle gangs, etc., are moving out of the cannabis market because people are forming their own collectives through social media—they call it the 'brown market'—and that is taking some share out of the cannabis market for these gangs.

The Controlled Substances Act uses the nomenclature "cannabis ", "cannabis oil" and "can- nabis resin ", rather than the names "Indian hemp" and "hashish" which were used in the previous Act.

The information enabled police to apprehend the person of interest and another person during the course of a drug transaction in New South Wales which involved 4.1 kilograms of cannabis.

I recommend that any drug diversion process in respect of cannabis take into account the possibility that the person diverted may be using other illicit substances apart from cannabis; 17) I recommend that the maximum monetary penalty for the offences of possession, smoking and consumption of cannabis, cannabis resin and cannabis oil be increased from $500 to a figure that reflects the deleterious effects that the consumption of those substances can have on the individual, especially the young.
