秋野 公造
参議院議員（福岡県選出）、医師。財務副大臣、環境・内閣府副大臣等を歴任。
2019年3月、秋野氏が国会質疑にて「大麻由来医薬品の治験は可能」との政府答弁を引き出したことで、大麻取締法のもと治験の枠組みを用いて患者に大麻由来医薬品を届けることが可能となり、大麻取締法を改正する議論の端緒となった。
その後も、大麻由来の医薬品/薬物/食品を必要とする患者の声を国に届け続ける制度設計のスペシャリスト。剣道四段。
Member of the House of Councillors (elected from Fukuoka Prefecture) and a physician. He has served as the Deputy Minister of Finance, and Deputy Minister for the Environment and the Cabinet Office.
In March 2019, Mr. Akino succeeded in eliciting a government response in a parliamentary inquiry that stated "clinical trials for cannabis-derived medicine are possible." This paved the way for patients to receive cannabis-derived medicine under the Cannabis Control Act using the framework for clinical trials, and sparked discussions to amend the Cannabis Control Act.
Since then, he has been a specialist in crafting policies to continuously convey the voices of patients in need of cannabis-derived medicine/drugs/food to the government. He holds a fourth-degree rank in Kendo.
