I stopped my contribution because I knew Dr. O'Grady was in a rush. It has been stated that there is evidence that where medicinal cannabis is made available, it has an impact on the use of other drugs and there is some evidence that use of benzodiazepines, opiates and so on has reduced where that is the case. Do the companies that manufacture those products feel threatened by medicinal cannabis being made available and potentially substituting for their products given there is evidence that such substitution is happening?
