The New South Wales Greens have officially introduced a bill to legalise cannabis across the state.
The bill was brought in by MP
Cate Faehrmann, who delivered a comprehensive outline of the benefits of legalisation as well as the reasons why the law needs to change in a speech to Parliament.
Ms Faehrmann said in a statement before unveiling her bill, she said: It s time to legalise cannabis in NSW. Prohibition has well and truly failed and governments all around the world are finally accepting this fact. Decriminalisation is better than prohibition. People are risking criminal records just because their drug of choice has been deemed illegal because of a moral crusade started before I was born.
