Suzette Luyken is the Campaign Manager for the Legalise Cannabis Party and a committed voice for sensible, evidence-based cannabis policy in Australia. She believes it's time for a major shift in how we approach cannabis—moving away from outdated, punitive laws and toward a framework that prioritises health, personal freedom and economic opportunity.
Suzette is a strong supporter of the right to grow your own cannabis—whether for health, wellbeing or personal use—and sees this as a key part of tackling Australia’s cost-of-living crisis. With the soaring price of medicines and everyday essentials, she believes people should be free to choose affordable, natural alternatives without fear or stigma.
Her work is grounded in a deep respect for civil liberties, privacy and democratic participation. She supports the full legalisation of cannabis, including decriminalisation, home grow, regulated retail and industrial hemp development. She’s passionate about removing the discrimination that patients and consumers face—especially in areas like roadside drug testing, employment and housing.
Whether she’s explaining how preferences work on a ballot paper or pushing for fairer laws, Suzette is working for a future where cannabis is treated not as a crime, but as a choice—and where the law finally reflects the values of the people.
