12.01.2022 ‘To provide myself with medical cannabis’ is the most common motivation for Australian small-scale growers to cultivate cannabis. Three quarters of local respondents to the international cannabis cultivation survey listed 'medical cannabis' as a motivation, according to preliminary study findings released by @NDRIau today. Find the media release here - ndri.curtin.edu.au//media-release-growers-survey-early-apr. The survey is still taking responses via: https://curtin.au1.qualtrics.com/j/form/SV_8BodMskjrEouvid @GCCRCAustralia @Wor1dWideWeed @monicabarratt

03.01.2022 94% of alcohol industry submissions to policy consultations in Australia over a 5 year period presented a distorted view of the scientific evidence, according to new research published in @JSADJournal. Led by @NDRIau with co-authors @thegeorgeinstitute and @TheUniversityofNewcastleAustralia, the study analysed how alcohol industry and associated actors used scientific evidence in 200+ submissions to alcohol policy consultations in Australia from 2013-2017.
