    There is no law banning and penalising the public our politicians don't love. Ban this, ban that, ban, ban, ban. No other country in the world behaves like this. Our politicians treat us like we are children or we are the enemy. How about we ban lying by politicians and make that a prosecutable offence. Eh? What about that?

    At 62 I have been smoking at a medium - heavy rate since I was 8yo, cannabis since 15yo, so I have made an effort the last 10 years to reduce my tobacco intake by adding more pot to each cig I roll, and I think it is working!

      It's the same thing, for cannabis a dry HERB vape is a must. Otherwise your only getting 10-30% of your cannabis while most the high you feel is just lack of oxygen.

    What's with Australia and fines. I don't have a problem with being fined for doing the wrong thing, however $32,000 could simply be $300. Same with releasing balloons $990 could be $150. I'm sure the individual will learn without bankrupting them, and forcing them onto the streets.

Stuff like this can make you pick a different job, one where you don't depend on driving.
