And the fact that it conflicted with commonwealth law would be confusing for police.
In promoting the law change earlier, Attorney-General Gordon Ramsay told the assembly it was time to treat drug addiction like a health issue rather than an issue of "right and wrong", which is why the laws would be accompanied by more drug and alcohol services and the introduction of specific drug courts.Residents of the bush capital wouldn't be able to light up immediately, with the ACT's Health Minister needing to sign off on when the law would come into effect.
Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter said the bill was a matter for the ACT, but where Commonwealth laws applied they remained enforceable.
Why stuff around just legalizing possession. Lets get real and open some dispensaries to take the money from the dodgy growers and put the money back into the community. Plus the Billions in Tax it will generate can go towards funding many things such as Drug Education and Rehab.
Certainly increase the population in the ACT!
And so it begins 😎
Great, its about time!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So our pollies say they have a hardline drug policy but ACT has it legalised so pollies can have a toke and a cigar while in parliament? Why has it not been legalised everywhere? Or at least decriminalised? Hypocrisy!
Certainly, will boost tourism for the ACT.
“Attorney General Gordon Ramsay”
So 5 family members get 10 plants ?🤪
