De-Criminalize Cannabis now!

Just read the articles from around the world! Marijuana itself isn't a 'gateway drug'. I'd NEVER touch heroin/cocaine/meth/ice etc. etc. NEVER. Marijuana calms and makes people stay home and get the munchies and puts you to sleep. How is wanting to relax a crime?. Alcohol is worse. It is through mixing it with alcohol and other substances which is the problem area. Shouldn't the government find out these things rather than ignoring it altogethr

If anything, prohibition only enhances drug crime and substance abuse, this has been proven for decades. The Netherlands, by legalizing, taxing and monitoring pot, have very little drug crime, are closing down prisons due to lack of petty criminals, have less "potheads" per capita than even the USA due it being unappealing to most rebellious teens and have only pure substance available. Nothing is chemically messed with thus reducing health risks

By allowing these arcane laws to be past I will be forced to deal with dangerous criminals as the few nice guys I know who grow wont anymore. There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that marijuana is dangerous, deadly or stronger and there is far more risk in handing out alcohol like lolly water to 18 year olds. I have lost all faith in my government

These laws also perpetuate the conditions desirable for organised crime to increase profit margins. If the goal is to combat crime and reduce usage the WA Liberal Party is doing exactly the wrong thing.

The new laws make no sense, they just turn innocent tax payers, who want to smoke a joint after work into criminals. The only people that gain from this are tobacco and alcohol companies. Legalize, regulate, and tax, that way innocent people do not become criminals for nothing, if it is regulated then it becomes safer for everybody, and a huge amount of money could be generated through taxing.

Stop making and enforcing pointless laws, stick to worrying about theft and violence and other inhumane acts and let people who don't affect others lives in a bad way live how they want to. This comment probably wont get anywhere but hey you know my thoughts, make a difference in things people care about

The day you begin putting masses of innocent (non-violent) people behind bars is the day you write yourself into the history books as an intolerant and unreasonable government. Cannabis smokers are only "guilty" of not conforming to the image of the government's human template otherwise known as the perfect citizen. Politicians with little tolerance need only feel ashamed, not empowered.

California, America famously declared marijuana legal in a medicinal sense. Both these nations run on very similar legal and civil systems to that of Australia. If we can agree to aid these nations in war, why do we not agree with their opinions on the traditionally harmless (no deaths caused) marijuana?

I would like to see the day where marijuana is legalised, however with the state the world is, I doubt that will happen any time soon. Marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes, in some cases even prescribed as a form of medicinal relief.

Cigarettes do more damage to your body then marijuana.
They have laws like this for other drugs, yet people still take them and continue to take them. Even karl o'callaghan's own son was involved in the running of a meth lab, so how can anyone say this will help??

If people have to right to come home from work, have a cigaret and/or a alcohol drink, ( which are both worse for you than pot ) then people should have the right to relax with marijuana.

The notion that people who are not hurting anybody at all should spend two years in jail is ridiculous. All this new law does is put more people in jail, cost the economy more and potentially ruin career prospectives for people needlessly.

Retailers/suppliers of the substance have your ID on database, to be checked, under legal obligation if you are to make a purchase of a said substance.
