Love this quote:
"Once legal medicinal cannabis is available in Australia, a debate will start questioning why recreational cannabis remains illegal and unregulated", he predicts. "60% of Americans in the 2016 US Gallup poll supported regulating recreational cannabis. Now eight states - representing 25% of the US population - have approved taxing and regulating recreational cannabis. Californian votes passed a ballot on 8 November supporting taxing and regulating recreational cannabis. California is now the sixth biggest economy in the world, bigger than France or the UK. Trends starting in California often soon spread across the USA and the rest of the world.
"Australia will be taxing and regulating recreational cannabis within five years", he predicts."
