Personal cannabis use legalised in Canberra | 7NEWS

The ACT has passed a bill to legalise possessing and growing cannabis for personal use. The bill allows Canberrans over the age of 18 to possess 50 grams of cannabis and grow two plants – but sharing it with another person is still prohibited.

    You australians don’t deserve legal weed until you stop smoking out of plastic bottle bongs and roll proper js

    Hurry the f up Sydney! Update our laws



  5. @aaronhopkins6697 on May 20, 2024 at 10:09 am

    Four years later and still zero forward progress. Now the only difference is there is now over 280 000 legal medicinal cannabis patient’s. And the laws still haven’t changed, it’s absolutely ridiculous and this needs to be changed now.

    Legalise cannabis Australia.



  12. @genemaster74 on May 20, 2024 at 10:19 am

    just shows how pollies dont know a thing about cannabis, and the fact its been used for 1000’s of years and was only made illegal by the US because it made white women sleep with black people and made people killers. There are plenty of Documentrys to show all this and more, including plenty of studies. but as usual Aussie pollies and the media dont care about us just their own personal goals and what they want…….Aussie polliesand one sided media = greed and power screw the voters/viewers….p.s. Alcohol and cigerttes plus most medicine is dangerious, my pain meds make me go into a heroin like withdrawal if i miss 1 day. I use medical cannabis for my pain and my anxierty also to make me feel hungry as my normal meds make not want to eat. Thats all i got to say…cheers

    Funny how it’s blamed for mental health issues 😂 alcohol has been the enemy of mental health, domestic violence, deaths, murders etc for centuries but no one speaks about that. It’s ridiculous that Australia is behind the rest of the world with legalisation. I guarantee that once it’s legal Australia’s deficits will by wiped in a couple years.



  14. @dumbassstonerthings4206 on May 20, 2024 at 10:22 am

    Bullshit whys it gotta be in canberra



  15. @MyDsousa on May 20, 2024 at 10:22 am

    Smoking cannabis may cause mental health problems, really?
    In the United States there are 480,000 deaths per year related to smoking cigarettes. 41,000 deaths resulting from second hand smoke that’s 1300 deaths every day.
    Funny how the media always tries to scare us with these bullshit claims about cannabis but yet they’re silent on the deaths related to cigarettes.



  16. @loudmouf9246 on May 20, 2024 at 10:22 am

    Now for the rest of the country.

  31. @Atlastheyote222 on May 20, 2024 at 10:44 am

    Amazing that people can be so ignorant to think that cannabis is more harmful than alcohol and tobacco.



  32. @ryryx2channel799 on May 20, 2024 at 10:44 am

  39. @workisplay8849 on May 20, 2024 at 10:55 am

    Cannabis is a recreation and that’s why it’s important to some people. Sometimes I feel that people who are against it, are just channeling their own difficulties, into something that they don’t like. A lot of people who are against it, haven’t even tried it. So how can they even be entitled to be part of the conversation. When can reprieve be expected? I literally haven’t smoked for years. And I am so sad without it. Getting older and without something that I love – it’s really hurtful.



  40. @snowman01 on May 20, 2024 at 10:59 am

    Doesn’t everyone accept the national cannabis legalisation is inevitable? It’s happening in USA, Canada, etc. and it will happen here. Stop holding us in the past Liberal members.



  41. @TheaussieNoonga on May 20, 2024 at 10:59 am

    i wish they would legalise it for sale and recreational use already



  42. @mynamemylastname1835 on May 20, 2024 at 11:00 am

    *Cop says,…Hmmmm? should I bust this guy smoking weed with a friend and not bothering anyone or should I bust someone who is killing people or robbing houses? Hard choice….
