The cannabis market is said to be worth $1.5 billion and proponents of reform say there is money to be made in a safe, regulated legal cannabis regime.

      Objectively a better move than prosecution by any stretch of the imagination.

      Having participated in both medical and consumer cannabis I can tell you having a doctor running 4 clinics at once over zoom doesn’t do much for “patient protection”.

      just legalise it already I’m so over this BS attitude of how it will harm society. let the government tax it and take the money from the gangs. saying that, the NAct move to return pseudoephedrine is just going to wash the country in cheap meth and cause a massive societial issue, way more than smoking weed will ever do https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/09/23/pharmacists-fear-reversing-pseudoephedrine-ban-could-endanger-workers/

    I can see our current government legalizing cannabis for the revenue, it would be right on brand.
