Nation's capital legalises cannabis for personal use | ABC News
The ACT has become the first Australian jurisdiction to legalise the possession, use and cultivation of small amounts of cannabis. The laws passed the ACT …
Alcohol is now australia's worst drug according to statistics and many experts and yet its legal whilst cannabis is illegal. This is so wrong, alcohol should be illegal and cannabis should be legal, alcohol is a terrible drug that ruins lives, takes lives and causes so many problems in society.
The hysteria over this in the Australian media is disturbing. On ABC last night: "Here's 5 different opinions on why this is horrible from people who have no experience with marijuana." Australia needs to get with the times.
too right, its not revolutionary but its the right step
The Parliament canteen mysteriously runs out of Vanilla Slices and Choc Chip cookies…
Finally!
Bad news ! Drugs shouldn’t be legal!
My cousin is a Canberrian and got nailed with a monster plant in his back yard. 17 kilos wet of course. $280 fine no conviction. Cops did what they had to because the neighbour was a snitch but didn't treat him like a criminal at any time. They had real crimes to deal with.
it's very modern of them. Bravo!
The Poloticians, in Australia could rake in millions if worded right. Those that look only at being a Drug and that it will do more harm if legalised are defiantly not with the times and never will be. It has to be legalised all over Australia not just in the Act and get it right so it's a win win for everyone. Aussie Chrisso 🤠😎
seems like the politicians are ok with it in their backyard… probably should make it legal nationally so they don't look like hypocrites
Next thing to do change the Commonwealth law
Am inclined to believe that two or three years from now there will be no research that anything much has changed except perhaps the use of other illegal drugs.
Free me 👍
Hurry up and legalise it in Victoria
I'm Canadian and I can tell you that ever since legalization not a whole lot of changes the world doesn't end and people go on with their day to day lives.
Loop hole: Hydroponics is not allowed but there is no mention Aquaponics.
Canberra must be move to Nimbin . Politicians can have a smoke before question time.
Meanwhile South Australia's Liberal government is doubling fines and sentences for cannabis use.
very good its good for pain and back pain spinal injury and for kids to have if they are internally sick
I’ve been using it for decades stuff the government – i never allow another human being to tell me what I can and can’t do even the government
"I'm a politician now" so cannabis is only legal in the Federal Capital… too bad for the rest of us actually in the Real World!
I swear I saw a guy called gordon Ramsay in this video
Bout time
Finally can’t wait till Victoria joins in
Looks like bush weed will flood the market in couple years time
Misleading headline, cannabis hasn't been legalised for personal use it has been decriminalised. Those are not the same things
So it's still illegal to buy, sell or supply cannabis products, plant or seed. But it's legal to have up to 4 plants. How does one explain to the law where the 4 plants came from?
Politicians always looking after themselves first. How many more important matters require legislative action than this BS?
many things are more dangerous then cana.. the problem is in the morning after you cant get up realy as its still in the blood. if your life is booring enough its a good fun to be with many psycedelics are amazing but the best of all is God as substance meditate and y will not waste your life with copies of the almighty
Tobacco is no less harm than cannabis yet it’s legal to grow, sell and consume for more than a hundred year, strange law
ACT… Of course, were all the politicians are. 😉 About time though. People have been brainwashed for long enough. Come on Australia your way behind the times.
In Canada we've had legal marijuana for about a year now, and it's been great so far.
LEGALIZE IT ….
There’s always a catch 22 To the law towards citizens
FAIR ENOUGH, DO IT THE NATURAL WAY AS GOD INTENDED..
Definitely they passed this bill under the influence of meth… Pathetic…
Come on Victoria!!!! I believe in you!
All the Pollies…
Absolute madness, yet grow tobacco and get charged.

How many years or decades to extend it to the rest of the country? Also is it really the first? Coz I heard that in SA people are allowed to grow up to 3 plants for personal use, or is that just an urban myth on the east coast?
For once I’m glad to be living in Canberra 🤪
I think I'll love this. but basil will still always be my favorite herb.
so what's meaning by "natural way"? is brownies ok?
<3
