Australia: $20m for war against dope

TREASURER Peter Costello will unveil new measures to combat cannabis use
on Tuesday night.

Reflecting the Government's growing unease at the impact of marijuana
smoking on the health budget, Mr Costello's Budget will commit $20
million to establishing a National Cannabis Control and Prevention Centre.

The centre will train specialist educators to warn about cannabis abuse.
It will be used to establish a national database on the problem and also
fund border patrols and prosecutions.

The Howard Government's so-called "tough on drugs" strategy has
concentrated mainly on hard drugs, such as heroin and amphetamines.

But there is a growing awareness that cannabis, particularly
high-strength hydroponically-grown crops, can contribute to mental
illnesses such as schizophrenia.
