[QUOTE]GROUNDBREAKING developments in New South Wales this afternoon, as the state government announces plans to legalise the possession and use of cannabis for medicinal purposes.
The move will allow terminally-ill cancer patients to use the drug without the fear of being charged.
The announcement follows a long campaign to legalise medical cannabis by Daniel Haslem, 24, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2010 and told he had just months to live.
He’s still with us today after taking the drug to ease his symptoms.
Daniel and his family managed to rake in close to 200,000 signatures on an online petition calling for a cannabis law reform.
On Tuesday morning, New South Wales Premier Mike Baird said police currently had discretionary powers to charge those caught will small amounts of cannabis, but will now be ordered to not charge anyone who produces a medical certificate.

Your turn, Spain.

Well fuck me, this is fantastic. I'd always thought the ACT would be the first state/territory to legalise Cannabis in Australia. Doesn't matter though, bring on Medical Marijuana!
i hope it isnt easy to obtain a certificate cos the govt shouldn't be encouraging reefer bonging or we will have a bunch of murderous hemp hippies in our society

I think you'll have a heart attack if you step into Ipswich
Please please please Victoria next

Too bad we won't see it happen in Queensland. I guess the main reason why NSW has moved so quickly is because of a market already being there, not to forget they have Australia's Cannabis capital, Nimbin.

Look to your western neighbours (aka Portugal), imo they're the only country that has gotten the drug problem right. Rather than a criminal issue, they made it a public health issue.

Good lord, we're doomed.
I was hoping that would say airsoft. Also can someone actually explain medicinal weed to me? I swear no one who has it is actually in need of it.

None of you are cancer patients.
Pls gib medicinul marijuanas to polan.
Eh, maybe one day, but i bet things will get moving here only after other countries do this, we have too many conservative people here to change anything, and most of people trying to legalize it are just raging 20 years old who say shit like 'marijuana cures cancer' :(

Given the situation of this shitter, it won't take long to turn to the TRULY right-winged party (PODEMOS) as the next reigning political party, with Mr. Iglesias. So maybe we could wait if there's the possibility with that.
Maybe I'm thinking too fast, but if several European countries legalized it, it's mostly probable that whenever it is this party will do something for that. Given that it is the only political party that can fuck up the rest of corrupt assholes (PP and PSOE).
bonging up is an integral part of australian society
by the sheer amount i see on a daily basis you wouldnt even know its illegal
same applies for people shooting up heroin
such is life in the bowen hills
Bon'd be proud.
The domino effect, gentlemen

And you came to this conclusion based on what evidence?

I'm surprised he isn't already having a heart attack from being on Facepunch.
Seriously, sometimes I think you guys see Cannabis as the god drug.
