  3. Would this change have an impact on mental health?
What impact would it have on public health? Would this change have an impact on mental health? What about driving and roadside testing? Does your bill have public support? How will it affect the illicit market? What impact would your bill have on the criminal justice system? Will people be able to use it in public? Will I be able to smell it in the street? Isn’t this what they did in Canberra (ACT)? What does your bill (proposed law) do? How many Australians use cannabis? Why Regulate the Personal Use of Cannabis? Why Now?

Would this change have an impact on mental health?

Answer

This is an important question and one lots of people are concerned about.

The most recent clinical research published in the Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, “ Influence of Cannabis Use on Incidence of Psychosis in People at Clinical High Risk”, concluded that there is no significant association between cannabis use and psychosis.

And when it is not illegal we can invest in better education about cannabis and any cannabis related harms.
