Rationale

Legalisation will allow for regulated sale, reducing youth access, cutting black markets (that is criminal organisations) and funding public healthcare (including detoxification programmes) through THC taxes. It's either the State or mafias, and we choose the former, for a freer and safer society.

Proposed Changes

1	Marijuana Policy	Decriminalization (≤10g civil fine; no arrest; record expungement)		Legalization (age 21; licensed retail; THC tax; roadside impairment tests)
