Is cannabis legal in Australia?
Cannabis is legal in Australia, but only for medicinal purposes. Victoria was the first Australian state to give the green light to medicinal cannabis legalisation. Most other states and territories, including North South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory, quickly followed.
After the legalisation of medical cannabis, Australian patients can now theoretically use cannabis if they are suffering from a relevant medical condition. The Department of Health issued a clinical guidance document that lists all medical conditions for which cannabis use is legalised. Only registered Medical Practitioners can prescribe medical cannabis.
However, recreational cannabis use is still illegal in Australia. The import and export of marijuana is also illegal and carries federal penalties. It can lead to life imprisonment for cases involving the import or export of commercial quantities – 100 kg and above for marijuana, 50 kg and above for cannabis resin and two kg for cannabinoids. Lesser penalties are imposed for carrying cannabis below commercial quantities. Federal offences also include commercial cannabis cultivation, domestic trafficking, and possession. However, cannabis offences are largely dealt with under state and territory legislation.
On 24 February 2016, the Australian government amended the Narcotic Drugs Act and legalised the growing of cannabis for scientific and medicinal purposes. However, it is still illegal to grow marijuana in your garden in Australia.
