What do you think?
Making cannabis legal is projected to free up $180m in police resources, which can be reinvested to reduce crime, and as well generate at least $150m in revenue. That buys a lot of drug education and rehabilitation.
The Opportunities Party will:
License suppliers and manufacturers to encourage small scale regional supply, and regulate the potency of supply.
Use a tax (based on THC potency) and minimum price to ensure the price doesn’t fall as it did in Colorado.
Allow retail sales only through Cannabis Licensing Trusts (local charities) or a Government online store. It will not be sold in the same outlets as alcohol.
Ensure the placement of retail outlets (if any) will be subject to local authority regulation.
Use revenue generated by the tax and profits of the Trusts (estimated at $150m) for education, after school projects for youth, treatment of addiction for all drugs and regulation to control demand.
Allow home growing of up to 2 plants.
Set the legal age of purchase & use at 20 and ensure education campaigns discourage use until 25.
