Legalise Cannabis Victoria is appealing to the Allan Government to implement the recommendations of a parliamentary report to decriminalise the possession of small amounts of cannabis.

A new Victorian report into workplace drug testing has found that employees prescribed medicinal cannabis have routinely lost their job or faced disciplinary action just for taking a legal medication – and the law must be amended to protect them.

The Victorian Government will launch a closed track circuit trial in Victoria to investigate road safety risks associated with the use of medicinal cannabis and we urge the Government complete this whole process no later than the end of 2024.

Legalise Cannabis MP David Ettershank said regulating cannabis in Victoria would deliver billions in government revenue, free up police and court resource and direct funds towards research on safe levels of consumption.

David welcomes a Parliamentary Committee report into Legalise Cannabis Victoria’s bill to decriminalise cannabis, which is based on the ACT model.

David Ettershank welcomes the Victorian government’s $162 million investment to enhance bus services in western suburbs but called for a comprehensive overhaul of the public transport system to address ongoing gaps.
