The estimate of $700 million annually in economic benefits from recreational cannabis highlights the significant potential this industry holds for job creation, tax revenue, and tourism. As the Greens renew their pledge to push for legal cannabis, it’s crucial to consider how these benefits can be maximized through thoughtful regulation and responsible marketing.

Engaging in open discussions about the potential risks and rewards of legalization, as well as addressing public concerns about health and safety, will be key to making informed decisions. Overall, it’s an opportunity for economic growth and social progress that shouldn’t be overlooked.
