The proposal would legalise the production and sale of recreational cannabis in Australia through a tightly regulated model and by establishing the Cannabis Australia National Agency (CANA).

The market will exclude any existing tobacco, pharmaceutical or alcohol suppliers and be structured to be primarily based on not-for-profits, small businesses, co-operatives and sole traders.

Households would be permitted to grow up to 6 plants for personal use without needing a licence or paying tax.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2025.
