People in the Australian Capital Territory have been able to use, possess and grow cannabis for nearly two years. The radical laws were introduced to steer people away from the criminal justice system, but a growing number of people are using the laws to produce their own medicinal cannabis.

Cabal governments don’t want competition.
There’s a few federal sites around the mainland and the island state
Purely for medicinal in pharmaceutical
That’s the place to be 👍
You can grow cannabis outside in the ACTit’s very easy actually.

The joke is I can buy a Oz but the person I see can go to jail.And try keeping a plant without someone jumping the fence.
The ABC reporting on a greens led jurisdiction. They must be in rainbows and lolly pop land.. Any articles questioning why Australia is under a full country health crisis that only started in the months after the big pharma globalist jabs were rolled out that you helped guilt trip and force on to the naive Australian population with lies??.. Oh that’s right you are STILL promoting them. Any articles on ivermectin yet or is it still a horse paste and to treat scabies???.. Didn’t think so. The ABC stopped reporting for Australia a long long time ago. I makes me sick that I have no choice but to fund this inner city elite propaganda channel. I should be able to opt out!!
Genuinely still no clue why alcohol is legal and cannabis isnt
Canberrans would have had a tough couple of years growing outdoors, as we’ve had a succession of La Nina events. This means high rainfall and humidity. Cannabis is prone to fungal infection, particularly close to harvest time when the plant’s flowers are dense. Mouldy Cannabis is unusable.
Trippy shits are very much available in 👆👆👆 Gives high quality & adequate dosage guidelines, he’s an expert in that field
‘radical’ lol
to the ABC please stop taking the diminutive approach
Gotta love how it’s always all good for the ACT…. Rest of the country though? Nothing.
If you drink a litre of whiskey daily and hurt people around you then you get sympathy in court.
If you smoke hard drugs and cry about it you get sympathy in court.
If you grow your own weed and keep to yourself. The police will knock your house down and you’ll get no sympathy in court. Its insane.
This politician wants people on medical weed to profit the industry but we don’t want that. Its gods gift we should should grow our own. Its therapeutic itself just growing it. Exciting counting down the days till harvest and starting again.
Horticulture is a ancient hobby. I want to know exactly what I’m smoking. I want to breed my own strains and get dirt deep into the genetics of it all. It’s s good hobby and keeps me active. Learning and distracted from my own mind going 1000mph against me.
I can instead follow other people’s grow diary learn from them. Use their advice in my own grow what works what doesn’t work.
2 plants under one certified safe LED light is all I want. UK fall in.
Bangkok has and I swear they sent people to the firing squad over it afew years ago.
I’m almost ready to just give in and drink whiskey all day see what happens.
When can we expect similar laws in Victoria?
Marijuana has been fully legal in Canada since 2018… everything is fine.
I grew one plant last summer, it grew big like a small tree, 800 grams from harvest, but I can only possess 50g. Am I expected to throw the rest away?
I THINK ANYONE ON THIS PLANET WHO SMOKES IT SHOULD BE ALOUD TO GROW IT FOR THEMSELVES….. WILL STOP ALL THESE DRUG DEALS AND CRIME
Prime minister Australia need made one state farm change 5 year new farmer all ganja siblings and for smoke under shop for cow sheep and more for hospital and more come all Australia to made the best impact for all part and ball lucky who can farm can made the best any state can show they part of part time farm in 5 year and go any shop any made product made new beer and more and this can up the best impact under tax from farm 2% go people buy 2% under made product 2% and this can take full a bigger part of Australia income to made all state in Australia can show the best view and more
Honestly, I’ve been to Canberra and those poor people should be allowed any drug they want. Such a miserable city.
if she wanted to be legal, she could do solar powered lights, technically, the photons, then electrons are natural light
Use it for medicinal purposes if you must but that’s the excuse of every alcoholic I have ever known too.
the only reason its not legal is the government don’t know how to tax it when people can grow it in there own homes. even people in the government have said this
I had a bad previous life and I used all sorts tried most things to stop feeling what I was but using cannabis relaxes all my stresses in life. Chills me out instead of thinking negative and wanting to rip someone’s head off. I’ll rather grow than pay money to someone selling it 3rd hand and it’s like a lucky dip and most the time it tastes crap. I don’t drink I don’t do anything else all I do is spend time with my dogs go for walks and smoke cannabis. Such a lovely life but it’s against the law lol something that Iv done for 10 yrs and I KNOW IT WORKS FOR ME…. BUT DOCTORS STILL WANT YOU TO TAKE DEPRESSANT TABLETS THAT DONT WORK 🤦🏻♂️
I want to grow two plants at home ide be sweet. 12oz from two plants ide grow once per year.
Cannabis users have been demonized since the late 1930s. Successive governments have been bribed by lobbists for almost 100 years and have destroyed the lives of millions of people solely for greed and personal gain by forcing sick people to use poisons sold by Big Pharma.
I have legal permission to use Cannabis to improve my appetite after having my stomach removed because of cancer. But living in Victoria it is not legal or me to grow Cannabis so I can only source it through the exorbitant commercial supply.
Come on John your on the TV at least clean your bong
A friend of mine smokes an Oz per month, another friend can cultivate max 1 oz per plant under lights. That means 12 plants a year. What’s the max limit per person can grow? Can you grow 12 in 1 legit season?
People get paranoid because its illegal, legalised it and for the people be responsible user. Mj is for positivity not for stupidity
The problem with decriminalising drugs is the question of supply. If, say, Ice was decriminalised in small amounts for personal use, where do the users get their supply? From illegal dealers. So, you are effectively incentivising those dealers to be criminals. I’m not sure that supporting the worst organised criminal gangs is a great idea. Why not decriminalise supply and tightly regulate it (and tax it and use those funds for rehab services), if you’re going to decriminalise use? At least we can then take a whole and huge part of international organised crime out. Either it’s illegal, or it’s not. These stupid half-arsed laws don’t make anything better.
Medicine! Grow her own medicine! Absolutely hilarious, ridiculous! Missing a few brain cells, obviously…
I grew a few plants in my backyard for several years in NSW in clear view of my neighbours in their units, not a problem! 🤣
i’ll never understand how a PLANT. literally just a plant with no environmental negatives. a PLANT is illegal. but they can prescribe amphetamines to kids with adhd. like ther’s nothing wrong with that example in particular but the fact these things are allowed but WEED isn’t… it’s just ridiculous to me
The only reason these politicians are decriminalising drugs "only in act" (were the politicians and their kids live) and not country wide is because their kids keep getting caught with them…. Corrupt system led by corrupt individuals and policies if you ask me
Straya
Ummm did the just skip straight past psychedelics and mention the potential of legalising small amounts of Ice and Heroin!
They’re not completely risk free, but they carry a small fraction of the risk of cigarettes. E-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke. The liquid and vapour contain some potentially harmful chemicals also found in cigarette smoke, but at much lower levels.
It’s all bout money government is just greedy they will get the most out of the fines corner the market then once they got that done they will sell it to us
Australian laws are written by paedophiles
Can you grow under LEDs.
Kids sell weed in UK. The govt prefers it that way. The kiddy mafia need business too. Who cares if they running each other through.
Who cares if they get trapped with weed its just weed. To owing money and being packed with hard drugs to shift instead to their school mates.
Who cares. Nobody cares.
What’s the point of decriminalising something, then making it almost impossible to acquire. Just make your minds up, legal or illegal.
No I’m sorry but bonging on every day is not healthy no matter what anyone says. If that’s what you’re doing then you need to stop kidding yourself that it’s medicinal. That second dude smoking the bongs is clearly abusing it and using mental issues as an excuse. Marijuana exacerbates mental illness, it doesn’t make it better.
She’s on that rso let’s gooooo
legalise it you dog politicians
Used correctly,cures cancer.
