One thought on “Economic benefit of recreational cannabis now placed at $700m annually, as Greens renew pledge to push legal weed”

  1. It’s interesting to see the economic potential of recreational cannabis being highlighted. A projected $700 million annually underscores how significant this industry could be for local economies, job creation, and tax revenue. Legalizing cannabis not only opens doors for economic growth but also has the potential to reduce law enforcement costs associated with drug prohibition. As the Greens renew their pledge, it will be important to consider regulatory frameworks that ensure safety and responsible use while maximizing these economic benefits. What do you think the key challenges will be in pushing for legalization?
