One of Australia's most experienced and respected senior police officers has stepped up his campaign to regulate cannabis and believes the drug will be freely and legally available within five years.
As part of that campaign, the Institute has released research which shows 54 per cent of Victorians want more relaxed drug laws, and only 21 per cent believe they are working at the moment., Palmer said he thought legalisation was inevitable. He said there was significant public support for new laws and the current system was simply not working.
There is already a bill before the federal parliament, sponsored by the Greens, which would legalise the drug. "Standing still is a proven failure. We've been standing in this place since I was a 21-year-old police officer and I haven't seen one small step taken for mankind in a positive sense in all that time, and I've seen a lot of kids locked up."Legal cannabis products at a dispensary in New York.
