Co-director of health and policy at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre, Professor Ian Hickie, has revealed why Australia is extremely unlikely to join countries across the world and legalise Marijuana.
An expert has weighed in on the real implications of legalising marijuana in Australia, explaining why we won't follow in the footsteps of other nations.
The professor highlighted the increased exposure was a “major issue” for young people’s mental health as concerns over cannabis-induced psychosis, or schizophrenia, continued to grow. A common theory floated is that governments are inclined to legalise cannabis so they can gain tax revenue. “The health outcomes would be bad and the projected tax revenues are unlikely to result despite a lot of the hype about that.”
