Jim Moylan, lawyer and national campaign director of the HEMP party, explains that medicine and policing are state concerns in Australia. So he sees Abbott’s statement as directed not towards the public, but towards the Liberal state premiers throughout the country, providing them with a green light in policy making in regards to medicinal cannabis. He said the most favourable proposal was that of Rattenbury in the ACT because it allows for personal cannabis growing licences, which addresses the issue of supply. Moylan believes that the road to the legalisation of medicinal cannabis in Australia will see the country repeating many mistakes that have already made in similar jurisdictions overseas. “Were presented with a golden opportunity in Australia to learn from this, but were not going to. Well career along an eight year path of legislation and re-legislation, blindly ignoring 25 years of experience throughout America.”
