Medicinal Cannabis: A survey on Cannabis use in Australia for Treatments of Acute/Chronic/Terminal Conditions

Hello and thanks for coming to this survey page.

This survey is purely to gauge the use of Cannabis in the Australian population as a therapeutic alternative to conventional contemporary medicines.

The data from this survey will be collated and used by public interest groups such as MCUA, Coloured In Nature etc.

At no stage will any of your private details be asked for, nor will they be collected. Your anonymity will be 100% and the results from this survey cannot, nor would they ever, be used to identify you. IP addresses are not recorded, Geo-location is restricted to your ISP's primary server location. Operating system and/or Mobile Platform data is recorded but will not be retained for any use.

Please be aware that your truthful response to any of the questions is requested in order to extract the best possible dataset to be used in OUR fight to remove the draconian restrictions on Cannabis as a medicinal therapy. This data will be used as evidence to support any lobbying by Pro Medicinal Cannabis groups in Australia.

Please also be aware that you may skip questions that you may find intrusive or irrelevant. Some questions however have been considered as vital to reaching the most positive conclusion of the data.

Each question has specific followup questions, as such you may find the survey to be long, or short, pending on your answers.

Thanks for participating.
