Legalise Cannabis Victoria welcomes the news that 80% of Australians believe the possession of cannabis should not be a criminal offence.

David Ettershank spoke during the debate on the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Amendment (Regulation of Personal Adult Use of Cannabis) Bill 2023 presented by the Legalise Cannabis Party.

Today the Victorian Upper House will debate the Legalise Cannabis Victoria Bill to regulate adult use of cannabis.

The Parliamentary Budget Office estimates the 2022 illicit cannabis market in Victoria was worth a whopping $1,020bn to $1,270bn. Legalise Cannabis Victoria believe this figure clearly demonstrates that prohibition is failed policy and justifies the need to regulate cannabis as they prepare to debate their Regulation of Adult (Personal Use) of Cannabis Bill next sitting week.

For the first time in Australian legislative history, the same Bill will be introduced in three states on the same day by the Legalise Cannabis Party. The Regulation of Personal Adult Use of Cannabis Bill 2023 aims to legalise the personal consumption of cannabis in Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia.
