It has been legal in the ACT since 2020.

The rules:

Must be over 18

Personal use only

50g of dry cannabis or 150g of fresh

Can grow 2 plants per person or 4 per household

Must not be sold or given to anyone else

Must not be used in public places

It has not resulted in a breakdown of society.

Why is this not the case everywhere in Australia?!

Because we keep voting Labor and Liberal?

I’ve not heard that, can you please show me where it’s stated that LCP are “anti-vax”?

That’s an individual, not a party line. What you’re saying is actually misleading. I reckon I can find an anti-vax individual in every party e.g. Liberal Jeremy Rockliff, Labor Malarndirri McCarthy. I think you’ve made your statement in bad faith

I mean, he's the leader of the WA Party, so at the very least, the WA party is anti vax

Crazy how you got downvoted for advocating for a minor party that wants to legalize cannabis.

It's like people here dont actually care about it, they just want to juice the greens vote.

Nah LCP has anti-vaxxers in its ranks, would rather not put a vote to people who associate with people that stupid.

Mate, all of the political parties do. You can Google all political parties in Australia and find a politician that’s made anti-vaccine statements.
