Use of small amounts of marijuana to be decriminalised

Governor General Dame Sandra Mason has announced the use of small amounts of marijuana is to be effectively decriminalized.

Dame Sandra, while delivering the throne speech during this morning’s state opening of parliament said, while government promises to hold a referendum on legalising marijuana use, the Drug Abuse and Prevention Act will be amended so that people will not be arrested and jailed for use of small amounts of the drug, freeing the police to pursue other matters.
