Meanwhile domestic violence continues and the police are… oh, busting pot growers. Great priorities.
Agreed. It is easier to bust people selling a relatively harmless herb that to tackle any of the problems our society actually suffers.
DV is very closely linked to that dangerous but legal substance called alcohol.
We don’t have leaders anymore. Just a pack of money-grabbing wimps.
While our great allie the USA is legalising this herb our govt is wasting money on busting people for small amounts. It just shows you how archaic our state and federal governments really are. They are still trapped in mid 20th centre, mindset.
A total waste of tax payer money!
