LEGALISE IT.
The Australian public has been clear, they’re ready to legalise cannabis and we’re listening!
It’s time to end a failed prohibition that has only served to criminalise consumers and create stigma. We want to change the laws so that adults can responsibly possess and grow small quantities of cannabis at home without fear of persecution.
Why should we legalise cannabis?
- Reducing harm across the community, particularly for young people and First Nations and Torres Strait Islander people;
- Saving money by reducing the costs of law enforcement;
- Promoting consumer safety by taking cannabis out of the black market and the hands of crime syndicates; and
- Generating economic and social benefits.
A majority of Australians support a regulated cannabis market. Cannabis is already lawful in the Australian Capital Territory where it has been found there was no increase in cannabis use or hospitalisation.
The rest of Australia needs to catch up!
How should we legalise cannabis?
The Legalise Cannabis Party has introduced bills in the state parliaments of Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia to allow for the personal adult use of cannabis.
- Allow adult personal possession of small quantities of cannabis;
- Allow adults to grow up to six cannabis plants at home;
- Allow adult consumption of cannabis (not in a public place);
- Allow adults to gift a small quantity of cannabis; and
- Prevent children under the age of 18 from accessing cannabis.
Thanks to a groundswell of public support, a parliamentary committee is inquiring into, considering and reporting on our bill and the impact’s of the ACT’s decriminalisation of cannabis.
We hope that the inquiry will push the Victorian Government to make change. But to secure this change, we need loud voices of support.
