David Shoebridge: More to the debate about legalising cannabis

Suzanne James and David Shoebridge discuss the Greens latest initiative to progress the legalisation of recreational cannabis.

They discuss the Greens Legalising Cannabis Bill, the projected billions in tax revenue from the cannabis industry, home grown and personal use provisions, drug-driving laws, affordability and equity of access and the Greens intention to put medicinal cannabis on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (BPS).
