Greens Campaign to Legalise Cannabis
Cannabis and its derivatives have been listed as a dangerous drug in 1925. Australia joined with the League of Nations in Geneva, banning 3 plant-based drugs, namely, opium, coca and cannabis. But now, the Australian Greens have started a campaign to legalise cannabis. Supported by members of the medical community cannabis is apparently quite effective in countering chronic pain and anxiety attacks. At the Greens ” A J-o-i-n-t Effort” Forum people heard about how the use of cannabis is still stigmatised, especially among the NSW Police force. Interviewee: MP Greens David Shoebridge, Lawyer: Cassy Judy and forum participants.
