Meanwhile in Australia there appears to be zero chance of marijuana being legalized any time in the future.

So of course the young people who want to get high go to the bikies and get methamphetamine instead. The politicians don’t give a shit.

Australia really is an incredibly conservative country.




That's what we thought over in Germany. Then, against all odds, we got this weird centre-left-libertarian coalition government that can't agree on almost anything (especially not budgets), but one thing they could agree on was legalising marijuana (at least in part).

You can never know what the future holds in store.


Yes, though coalition governments, weird or otherwise, are much rarer in the Australian electoral system.
