Metropolitan Cannabis Group (2004)
Balay - cannabis resource.
Perth: East Metropolitan Health Service
The Metropolitan Cannabis Group has released 'Balay', a resource about cannabis designed for young Aboriginal people between the ages of 18-25, living in the Perth Metropolitan area. The resource was developed by local health professionals including Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal representatives from a range of organisations. The purpose of the resource is to inform the young Aboriginal population about the recent changes to cannabis legislation in Western Australia, and to inform those who choose to use cannabis, and their families, about the legal issues related to this drug.
