In the Australian state of N.S.W the use of Medical marijuana has been ruled out. 
The New South Wales Government has ruled out allowing terminally-ill people to legally use cannabis to help deal with pain.
In May, a cross-party parliamentary committee unanimously recommended allowing terminally-ill patients and people with AIDS to legally use up to 15 grams of marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Greens MP John Kaye, who was also on the committee, says the Government's decision is narrow-minded.
"I'm deeply disappointed that the O'Farrell Government has buckled to cannabis use hysteria when they had a perfect opportunity to bring some relief to the pain and suffering of terminally-ill patients," he said.
"This is not about spreading cannabis use, it was about those people who were in terrible pain, who are at the end stage of their lives.
"The O'Farrell Government has turned their back on some patients in New South Wales who are suffering terribly."
Former state Labor MP Paul O'Grady, who is HIV positive and has had cancer treatment, says a trial should have at least been considered.
