It makes me laugh when pollies say it’s a gate way, I tell you now alcohol was a bigger gateway for me that weed ever was. When I used to drink I didn’t care how my behaviour made people feel, and when I was drunk I wanted to take other drugs because my rational thinking was thrown out the door. I haven’t drunk for 6 years now and weed has changed my life bigtime. I’m a lot more calmer, my family have noticed the positive change in me. It just makes me happy, period. When I drunk I didn’t want to do nothing, when I smoke I love going to the park with my family. It’s been given a bad name for way to long, it’s time Australian government wakes up to it. Peace ✌🏽

Cannabis is not alcohol. The preponderance of the research shows cannabis consumption is NOT a significant cause of auto accidents. In 2015, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, found that while drunken driving dramatically increased the risk of getting into an accident, there was no evidence that using cannabis heightened that risk. In fact, the report found that drivers who had recently consumed cannabis were no more likely to crash than drivers who were not under the influence of any alcohol or drugs.

Let's be real, those stats are probably fudged by counting THC within the body and not impairment, hence promoting even more changing the test to an impairment test so we can really get correct stats on this issue, albeit a rather niche issue.

I recently got a script for medical cannabis for my chronic sleep problems and the results so far are great. The driving laws in most states including NSW where I'm from are so punishing for people who use cannabis since they only test for presence of THC. Fortunately I only drive a couple times a week since I'm WFH or take public transport to the office when I need to but I feel sympathy for those who have to drive and are on medication. I can see from a policy making perspective that cannabis testing for driving impairment is difficult since THC levels is less predictable than alcohol when it comes to impairing cognition, judgment, and reactions. I don't think there are any roadside test which give reliable results for THC concentration in the body anyway which suggests sobriety/impairment test is the way to go.

I'll be honest here. I went through a rough phase in my life after losing a close pet, a girlfriend and then my job going down the shitter. I turned to cannabis and ended up smoking it almost nightly for 6 months. This was problematic but the fact I was able to stop cold turkey and the worst withdrawal symptom was mild insomnia for a couple weeks goes to show that even when moderately abused, your body can bounce back virtually back to normal. The same simply cannot be said for other "legal" substances like tobacco and alcohol. It's time to legalise it at the federal level and create a regulated, taxed industry.

if injecting rooms are legal then weed smoking should be legal in Australia Because its pretty unfair Canberra has legalised it but noone else is allowed to legalise it pretty hypocritical

They test for the presence of thc. Impairment is bassed on the amount of thc such as alcohol. How can you have what is meant to work for alcohol not work for thc.

How they do it in movies you need to leave the house lady they do it IRL

There should be a criminal penalty system with prescribers of recreational cannabis that a judge has power to lawfully decide should be the same with alcohol other drugs if you are convicted of certain offences assault as an example there is a penalty period of purchasing cannabis for recreational purposes. People would be alot more respectful of they don't want to get busted for a drunken pub brawl.

With any drug you are not supposed to abuse them, If the individual does that is on them. so many people can handle smoking some just cant.

I really do hope it makes it to legalization, like Canada. I heard people over there are really nice compared to America / Australia so I think what matters most is attitude, if the people want it, they have to calm down. You won't even notice they smoke it but you'll probably judge them if they have long hair like a hippy, I was called a stoner before I tried it.

sad thing is , it's no very strong at all, so it struggles with pain relief. it's meant to help cancer patients not use as much opiates so they dnt get clogged up causing more harm than good. so we're taking advantage of ppl giving them a placebo instead of the real good medicine that will help you fight cancer. it's so weak it's sad . because they've made it less affective

WHEN,WHEN ,WHEN They will legalize it when the cows come home =

I'm 66, and I've smoked cannabis since boarding school in London early seventies. Cigarettes since age 11. Of all the mood, mind altering drugs, cannabis is the least damaging. But don't forget inhaling the smoke of any burning vegetable matter, year in, year out, is not going to give you sparkling pink lungs. Vaping perhaps, I dunno. Oh, and I hate to be a grumpy old man, but it does compliment an extremely sedentary lifestyle. For someone prone to addiction, such as myself, cannabis is just a sacrifice i have to take. After all, it's not addictive right? For the neuro typical, go for it! Wipe out the glamour and crime fukrying out loud!
