TIME TO LEGALISE

HOW great to see the major parties falling into line yet again on a 
social issue - both don't want to legalise marijuana because the 
world will end as we know it.

How many other social issues do most Australians support and yet our 
Parliaments do not? Gay marriage? Euthanasia? Legalising cannabis? 
(81 per cent in one 2010 poll).

Let's look at firstly legalising cannabis for medicinal purposes and 
then general use.
