green-lights medicinal cannabis exports
london - Emiratesvoice
Australia's budding medicinal cannabis sector is set for a major windfall after winning approval to begin exports.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said allowing medicinal cannabis product exports will help the developing domestic market to grow.
"By helping the domestic manufacturers to expand, this, in turn, helps to ensure an ongoing supply of medicinal cannabis products here in Australia," Mr Hunt said in a statement.
He hopes Australia can be the world's top supplier of medicinal cannabis.
The export permit will be done by regulation.
The federal government in 2016 legalised patient access to Australian-grown and manufactured medicinal cannabis, subject to state and territory regulations.
Victoria became Australia's first state to legalise cannabis for medical use and was quickly followed by NSW.
As of May last year, only 150 patients had accessed Australian-grown medicinal cannabis products and there are some concerns doctors are unwilling to prescribe it.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
