Any opinions on the chances of Legalise Cannabis to gain a seat this election? They came very close to beating One Nation to a QLD senate seat in 2022.

    I wish that we had so few problems I could vote on this single issue, but stopping any Australian version of maga needs to be priority number 1, and then about 50 other things before legal weed. Honestly, it’s not hard or expensive to get a prescription, you can do it all over the phone.

      Where’s the contradiction? Just preference them above Labor, Coalition, One Nation, Palmer, etc…

        Believe me I will. But I’ll put a socialist, green, or certain independent candidate first.

      They’re a single-issue party but the members behind them still have some substance. Before joining the party, many had successfully advocated and pushed bills surrounding environmental issues. Coupled in with the economic aspects of cannabis production, I think they’re a party with quite a bit of substance. (no pun intended) my main goal in voting for them is to make legal cannabis a more popular policy amongst lib/lab which can be implemented to absorb votes. They’re pretty similar to the Greens minus the ‘we need moar votes to do anything’ aspect.
