Cannabis policy – NSW Greens
The Cannabis in Australia December 2022 Report says policing cannabis use is costing close to $2 billion dollars a year.
And for over 13 years now, ninety-percent of these charges relate to personal use.

It also meant law enforcers can focus on real crimes.
Razors Edge followed The Greens cannabis use policy launched in 2022, in a forum titled “A Joint Effort.”
