- Treat personal use of cannabis by adults similar to alcohol – plain packaging, age restrictions on use, no advertising.
- The medical cannabis delivery system is a postcode lottery. Creating options for home-grow and a supply chain will give MORE patients access to affordable whole plant medicine and a better quality of life.
- Legalisation will reduce the financial burden on the court system and free up police to investigate real crime.
- Personal-use cannabis would promote international tourism and create jobs in the tourism and hospitality industries.
- Home-grow and regulated dispensaries could wipe out the dependence on the black market (as long as products are not overtaxed).
- Revenue generated from recreational sales via a state-based tax would aid post COVID recovery, rather than benefiting criminal elements and organised crime.
