**** GOOD NEWS****** *** ***** THIS IS A FEDERAL MINISTER **** ***** FAR Northern MP Warren Dunn Entsch (pictured) has started drafting a private member’s bill to legalise medicinal marijuana. He told The Weekend Post that he planned to introduce a bill during the next two weeks of sittings of parliament to start legal trials of people using marijuana for medical purposes. “I’m drafting it at the moment in the next week or so to call on the Government to initiate trials particularly for people suffering from cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and other areas where there is a real prospect of pain relief or other medical benefits,’’ Mr Entsch said. The veteran Liberal member said the trials, if successful, would be followed by a bill or bills to legalise the use of medicinal marijuana and for it to be added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
