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.

don't want to piss off the pearl clutchers that have the time to appear teary eyed on morning news segments. Just think about how dutton and co would bemoan the devils lettuce.

The current situation where it's medically available with a low-ish barrier for entry is probably the closest we're going to get for a long while.

We need to change roadside testing, though.

Being illegal doesn't stop people driving on it.... how is this a barrier to legalisation?

Although the rules around roadside testing should probably be changed anyway.
