  • Legalisation in South America
    Interest in medical cannabis is growing worldwide, resulting in many countries legalising cannabis for medical use. In particular, the South American market is progressing rapidly and has become a focus for biotech companies seeking to gain a foothold in the global medicinal cannabis market. Consumer perceptions are shifting, with recent studies showing 70% of South Americans agree with the use of medical cannabis and 51% are in favour of legalising cannabis9. However, legislation is still catching up as only six countries in South America have legalised cannabis for medical or recreational use – these are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay1. LEGALISATION IN SOUTH AMERICA Argentina – as of March 2017, Argentina has legalised cannabis oil for the treatment of serious medical conditions2. This new law permits the cultivation of cannabis for distribution and research2. The Argentinean government also provides a medical cannabis research program that guarantees free access to cannabis oil to patients who join the program12. Brazil - has the largest population of any country in South America and has partially legalised cannabis use11. To date, the government has decriminalised the possession of small amounts of cannabis1. However, support for cannabis use is growing as in March 2017, the health department of Brazil approved the country’s first-ever license to sell a cannabis-based medical product, Mevatyl (also known as Sativex)3 which is a mouth spray for multiple sclerosis patients2. Colombia - has legalised cannabis for medical use1. This move was made in the hope of diminishing Colombia’s drug trafficking business13. As part of its peace process with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Colombia also plans to offer a crop substitution program for farmers of illegal coca crops to cultivate cannabis legally instead1.

As governments regulate this formerly illegal crop, there is an urgent need to understand how cannabis may impact the environment. Due to the challenges of researching quasi-legal commodities, peer-reviewed studies documenting environmental impacts of cannabis are limited, slowing the development of policies and agricultural extension guidelines needed to minimize adverse environ- mental outcomes. Here we review peer-reviewed research on relationships between cannabis and environmental outcomes, and identify six documented impact pathways from cannabis cultivation (land-cover change, water use, pesticide use, energy use, and air pollution) and consumption (water pollution). On the basis of reviewed findings, we suggest policy directions for these pathways. We further highlight the need to formalize existing traditional and gray literature knowledge, expand research partnerships with cannabis cultivators, and ease research restrictions on cannabis. Finally, we discuss how science might contribute to minimize environmental risks and inform the development of regulations for a growing global cannabis industry.

This was a year of transition for AusCann as the Company progressed its journey from medicinal cannabis startup to pharmaceutical company, developing and ultimately selling cannabinoid-based medicines. The most significant change was in the Company’s leadership with Ms Elaine Darby stepping down as CEO and the subsequent appointment of Mr Ido Kanyon as new CEO. Mr Kanyon has an extensive background in the global pharmaceutical industry and is well placed to lead AusCann through its next phase of growth. The Company’s aim is to provide high-quality and clinically-validated cannabinoid medicines commencing with our hard shell capsules for the treatment of chronic pain. What makes our capsules unique is our offering of dosage controlled and standardised pharmaceuticals, currently not offered in the medicinal cannabis sector. One of the highlights of the year was the successful completion of the capsule product development, which was a significant R&D breakthrough for the AusCann team. We have a clear road to market and we are fully funded to execute on our growth strategy following a $33.4 million placement this year. The next major step we are working towards is the release of our capsules for clinical trials before the end of CY19. Solidifying our relationships with key partners to de-risk our supply chain was one of our strategic goals of the year.

  • Marijuana and the Lung: Hysteria Or Cause for Concern?
    Key points ●● Cannabis smoking has increased and is likely to increase further with relaxation of legalisation and medicinal use of cannabinoids. ●● Chronic marijuana smoking often produces symptoms similar to those of chronic tobacco smoking such as cough, sputum production, shortness of breath and wheeze. ●● Cessation of marijuana smoking is associated with a reduction in respiratory symptoms and no increased risk of chronic bronchitis. ●● Spirometry changes seen in chronic marijuana smokers appear to differ from those in chronic tobacco smokers. In chronic marijuana smokers there is an increase in FVC as opposed to a definite decrease in FEV1. ●● Multiple case series have demonstrated peripheral bullae in marijuana smokers, but no observational studies have elucidated the risk. ●● There is currently no clear association between cannabis smoking and lung cancer, although the research is currently limited. Educational aims ●● To update readers on legalisation of recreational and medicinal cannabis. ●● To summarise the evidence base surrounding the respiratory effects of inhaled marijuana use. ●● To provide clinicians with an understanding of the main differences between cannabis and tobacco to be able to apply this to patient education. ●● To highlight common respiratory problems among cannabis users and the need for recreational drug history taking. 196 Breathe | September 2018 | Volume 14 | No 3 Luis Ribeiro 1, Philip W.
