The Legalise Cannabis Party is once again attempting to bring recreational cannabis use laws forward, with bills now being run in  Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia.

The party is arguing existing laws are outdated and unnecessarily criminalising people.

WA Legalise Cannabis MP Dr Brian Walker told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings it’s illogical to have such strict drug laws on a substance that is much safer than alcohol.

“A healing herb which can be misused but has zero deaths per year, against the six-and-a-half thousand deaths caused by alcohol every year; we love alcohol but think cannabis should be banned,” Dr Walker said.
