In Australia, there is support for decriminalising marijuana as
well as legalising growing cannabis plants at home for personal
use. Despite this, marijuana remains illegal for personal use,
without a prescription, in most states and territories of
Australia.
Cannabis is sometimes otherwise referred to as weed, marijuana,
dope, pot, hash, ganja, or grass.
There has been a strong push in Australia to legalise weed for
some time now. Marijuana is legal in The Australian Capital
Territory being the first place in Australia to decriminalise
cannabis by removing penalties for adults who possess or use it. It
is also legal for households to grow marijuana plants in the
ACT.
