i'll be watching this one with interest :) and hope for a “rebound effect” here (which often happens because our lick-arse politicians often copy america)..

from a petition to an initiative? brilliant ~ i hope australia is watching and taking notice. and i wish you guys well with this! the continuing prohibition thing is an abhoration – a social atrocity – a massive injustice..

there was a country (recently, i think portugal?) who removed criminality from the taking of any drug. from what i saw, the only ones complaining were the police (who lost their power to harrass just about anyone) but it was successful and beneficial in every way (social and economic).

go the reforms!! Sounds like we're reaching a future we should have had 20 years ago.. you don't even have to tax it.. just think of the money you'd same on court and prison (ab)use..

smoke that peace pipe ~ it should be our cultural right and human freedom…

still.. the people who keep prohibition going are mostly alcoholic or anti-depressant dependant.. hmmm.. so imbalanced and unsustainable… the change is inevitable if society ever advances..

goodluck!

I do wish it were legal, though, it would make more sense than a lot of things. as long as plastic is around weed has very little hope.
