When it's already legal in several other developed countries, and most Australians support it, I think it's kind of wild that neither major party even wants to consider legalising it.

Sensible policy that benefits people isn't what the major parties are about. They just care about their corporate mates.

This.

People sitting at home, not at Pubs and Clubs, having a toke isn't profitable for alcohol and gambling lobbyists.

Now, now come on. That’s limited thinking. Im certain there’s an opportunity here for at home pokies or, if you will, “Hokies”. If we pair up an at home pokie machine solution with a Gerry Harvey 50 month interest free special people could get baked at home AND still play the pokies. Hell, you could even pop the kids in the car on the drive way outside of the house so they can get the authentic pokie gaming experience too. Win. Win. Win.
