De Groenen have devised a different justification for legalizing cannabis, with the argument that it will help to resolve the costs of living living crisis of Australia.
Greens Senator for NSW David Shoebridge claimed that legalizing the illegal drug would yield billions of dollars in income for the government and at the same time 'very cost -effective' for users.
The legalizing cannabis account of De Groenen was blocked by Labor and the coalition in a voice of 13 to 24 in November last year.
However, the party remains enthusiastic to change the law, and Senator Shoebridge said on Tuesday that the move would have economic benefits, not only personally.
'If we wanted to tell you one thing to make a blow in this space [cost of living]It has to do with cannabis, “said Mr. Shoebridge.
'A system where you can grow something at home; Very cost -effective, very economical, or you can also buy cannabis from a well -regulated legal market. '
Mr Shoebridge said that estimates from the parliamentary budget agency for sales tax and GST would have found on a legal cannabis market would lead to billions of government revenues.
“The recreational price of cannabis falls as soon as you have a legal market and billions of dollars in public income,” said Mr. Shoebridge.

“In fact, recreational price halves in a decade, and with almost no increase in total cannabis use, control of public health, fewer spending on police, courts and prisons.”
Sen. Shoebridge said that legalization was cannabis'A cost of livelihood that we all have to find out '.
'Of course it will not solve the home crisis, it will not have caught supermarket bosses for price guts, or release Medicare but still …
'More money, more jobs, safer products and all for a 50 percent discount. Sounds like a victory around. '
According to the National Drug Use research research 2019, 40 percent of Australians used cannabis and more than 60 percent of the Sydneysiders want to legalize cannabis.
The bill of the Greens to legalize cannabis suggested a national agency that it would be set up to register cannabis tensions and to regulate people who can grow the plant, as well as the functioning of cannabis cafés.

Users of Social Media supported Mr Shoebridge's idea, where many claimed that they did not understand the arrest of the government when legalizing cannabis.
“Imagine the tax that the government would get if they did this. I don't understand why they don't do that, “one person noted.
“Can someone really explain why this is being rejected?” A second person said.
A third Chimed: 'Exactly. I don't touch the stuff and even I agree that this is the right choice. ”
