| Message | Madam Speaker This effectively allows regions to reintroduce prohibition on cannabis, something which drains police resources, increases incarceration rates, and punishes those that use a drug, which, when treated like alcohol, is not worse than smoking in the short term and raises taxes for both local and federal governments. Madam speaker, I encourage those interested in civil liberties to reject this proposal. |
