"The choice to publish a misleading story"
this is the summary:Data supplied by the TGA shows the total number of different medicinal cannabis products supplied in Australia increased from 504 in 2022 to 690 in 2023.
The TGA was unable to provide the ABC with information regarding the number of times medicinal cannabis has been dispensed in Australia.
"Data cannot be extracted from PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme) information as they are purchased on private prescription," a spokesperson says.
"The TGA is not aware of a single source that can provide complete and accurate dispensing data on medicinal cannabis products."

I see no indication of the report being misleading. it canvasses a range of opinion, as is the pattern of most ABC reports, and summarises the deficit of regulation. this has been since cannabis medications were approved by Mr Hunt, former Dept Health Minister. who didn't apply such regulation. but of course the ABC doesn't mention that.
