Can the Deputy define what the word "medicinal" means in the Bill? Does it mean a medicine in the conventional sense of the word? Does he define cannabis as a medicine? Cannabis is a whole-plant product and has up to 170 different components. How can one define what cannabis means in that context? Much of the Bill refers to herbal cannabis and to selling cannabis by the ounce. I presume this refers to tobacco cannabis.
