Legalisation of cannabis could generate ‘billions’ for Australia’s economy: Greens senator

Greens Senator David Shoebridge who introduced a bill to legalise cannabis in Australia argues it could generate “billions” for the economy. Mr Shoebridge’s comments follow Germany’s legalisation of psychoactive drug earlier this week. “As a politician I kind of like the $28 billion in public revenue that would generate in the first decade,” he said. “That’s a lot of schools and hospitals we could generate. “It’s also about making it much safer. "At the moment, who 'regulates' cannabis? It’s bikie gangs and organised crime and its full of toxic chemicals – no one has any idea what the strength is, there’s no labelling, you don’t know where to go to have treatment.”
