Why this petition matters

Started by Mark Hutchison

To: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Australian Government

We, the citizens of Australia, strongly urge you to take a significant step forward by legalising cannabis on a federal level. As witnessed in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the decriminalisation of cannabis for adults aged 18 and above has shown promise, setting an example that the rest of Australia should follow.

We call for a legal environment where both medical patients and adult cannabis consumers are not subjected to targeting or criminalisation. They should have the freedom to cultivate their own cannabis for personal or non-commercial use in a safe, affordable, and consistent manner.

The current prohibition on cannabis inadvertently sustains criminal enterprises that operate outside the bounds of legality. This perpetuates the growth of more serious crimes and harmful drugs throughout our nation while compromising the safety and quality of life for cannabis consumers.

The illicit black market for cannabis lacks the provision of lab test results and a safe consumption environment. It is imperative that we change this.

Of particular concern is the matter of driving. At present, patients who use medical cannabis containing THC are prohibited from driving legally in any Australian jurisdiction except Tasmania.

We propose the establishment of an effective framework that upholds road safety while acknowledging the significance of driving for the mobility and well-being of patients undergoing stress.
