8H Exception in special circumstances
Paragraph 8G(1)(b) does not prevent the Secretary from granting a medicinal cannabis licence if the Secretary is satisfied:
that the conduct referred to in that paragraph:
constitutes a serious offence solely because it involves the cultivation or obtaining of the cannabis plant, or the production or supply of cannabis or cannabis resin or of products containing cannabis or cannabis resin; and
was fully disclosed in the application; and
that if the licence were granted, the applicant could comply with all the requirements of the licence and this Act.
However, this section does not require the Secretary to grant the licence even if the Secretary is so satisfied.
