Queensland has ideal conditions for a commercial cannabis industry for use in medicine, according to a state government paper set to be released on Tuesday.

The paper, An overview of medicinal cannabis, was obtained by Fairfax Media ahead of its publication, which was expected to be online sometime Tuesday morning.

Queensland is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a growing legal cannabis industry due to the legalisation of its medicinal use, the state government says.

The ideal growing region for cannabis, the paper states, was within 35 degrees of the equator, which took in all of Queensland.

"With the use of medicinal cannabis increasing worldwide, the medicinal cannabis market could represent new opportunities for the Queensland agriculture industry," it says.
