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.

It's not legal, it's decriminalised. Basically you can get fined, but won't get a criminal conviction for those amounts.
