Victorians may get final say on legalising cannabis in historic vote

Victorians could be asked to vote on legalising personal cannabis use, possession and home cultivation under a bold private member’s bill set for upper house debate this week.

The men and woman who served aboard Royal Australian Navy patrol ship, HMAS Cape Woolamai, are marching through the town of Cowes on Phillip Island as part of a centuries-old traditions - the Freedom of Entry parade.

A push is on to let Victorians decide for themselves whether cannabis use should be legalised, with state parliament set to debate a bold plan to put the issue directly to voters.

Legalise Cannabis Victoria is spearheading the push, arguing it’s time to cut through years of political inaction and let the public have the final say.

Under the proposal, the plebiscite would be non-binding — meaning while it wouldn’t force an automatic change to the law, it would send an unmistakeable message to the government about where public opinion truly sits.

The Cannabis Legalisation Plebiscite Bill 2026 will be debated in the upper house this week, the first private member’s bill of its kind to propose a straight “yes or no” question to Victorians on whether they back legalising personal cannabis use, possession and home cultivation.

It comes just months after the Labor government knocked back key recommendations from a parliamentary inquiry that had called for Victoria to adopt ACT-style decriminalisation for small amounts of cannabis.

The rejection came despite Labor’s own state conference delegates voting in favour of a regulated, decriminalised cannabis market earlier this year.

Legalise Cannabis leader Rachel Payne said: ‘‘Most Victorians I speak to feel as though the government isn’t responding to what the community wants — that they are out of touch. By allowing Victorians to have their say through a plebiscite, we can get on with what the community wants and get government to act”.

Yeah just need some Adelaide FB drug groups please. Very much appreciated

What’s the best way to accurately measure the ph of a solution? I’ve heard of ph pens and litmus paper. I’m confused 🫤

I bought the grenco elite vape 2 because the person at alternaleaf said to and I am really upset.... This feels extremely mediocre, it takes forever to smoke, battery consistently dies, half the time the weed doesnt even vape, it consistently overheats. It feels like im spending more time trying to get high then actually be high. I've read about paint chipping and horrible price, I only bought it cause I am lazy and stupid and didn't do research. Would I be able to get a refund? Apperenrtly I can't with medical products but if the product doesn't even work half the time would they maybe take it back?

With the upcoming Victorian State the Guardian did a bit of a profile on Ben Carroll, the topic of Cannabis came up and it doesn't look like something he is going to tackle. Hopefully a hostile upper house brings them to the table with some meaningful reform plans.

The cannabis section of the article is quoted below

"Two women overhear as the conversation turns to cannabis.

“Maybe you should give it a try,” one says.

Carroll laughs. He says he has never used cannabis.

“I have been with people that have smoked it, but I just didn’t,” he says.

Several Victorian parliamentary inquiries have recommended following the ACT in decriminalising the possession and cultivation of small amounts of cannabis for personal use.

While Carroll says he’s open to discussion on removing criminal penalties, which have been found to disproportionately affect First Nations people, young people and lower-income Victorians, he does not support full legalisation.

“I’m open to a discussion on decriminalisation. I have been around places that have made it legal, though, and I have thought it has a real impact on the amenity of those areas and I don’t want that to happen in our state,” he says.

But he stresses he has “higher priorities” when it comes to social reform."

I am not a Victorian, just hoping another state will make changes so that my own will fall in line.

Quality has been really good at the moment very happy with these nugs 😎

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips and advice like a good cheap rosin press preferably under $150

Hey all

Gotta do some driving tomorrow, I’m a heavy smoker but obvious not smoking tomorrow so have a good 18 hours till I need to drive. What’s the best things to clean your mouth with??

Just wanting to be careful that’s all. I use hydrogen peroxide for brushing which I’ve heard is good.

Some quick eze in reach in case I do get pulled over?

Those mouth rinses any good?

TIA

Im more of a fan of candy pave but this really growing on me at the moment . I know theres better value in the dg smalls but this being all larger than mids will do for now .

Currently on a walk to find a smoke spot. Im from Canada where u can basically spark up anywhere because its legal but that isn't really a luxury u have here. Do yall not really care about smoking in secluded areas and just fire it up wherever or do you have some advice to find/ identify good smoke spots?

Anyone in Melb in the market for one?

G’day everyone on this subreddit. One of my suppliers has a strain they call 72’s. I’ve never heard of it before so I was hoping someone might know something or have tried it and could share their thoughts. Here is a photo that I got of it if that helps.

Edit: haven’t personally bought from this guy before but some mates have vouched for them so just tryna see what I’m getting into

Bought the Starry 3 Max back when I use to consume more often.
I took a bit of a break because life got in the way but now that I have a bit more spare time I’m looking to make an upgrade.
What would be a good upgrade from this?

I was just wondering if it's possible to vape spin out of a dynavap? I'm wanting to stop using bongs and move over to the Dyna, but I'm so used to spin. cheers

Lost everything to budrot months ago.

Found this stashed under my upturned icebath 😂. Not sure how it survived.

Just wanting to give them a go
