Professor Benedikt Fischer is the Hugh Green Foundation chair in addiction research in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. Dr Fischer has worked on public health-oriented frameworks for cannabis control for two decades and acted as scientific adviser to the Canadian Government in developing its cannabis legalisation framework.

Research shows that reform of some kind (either decriminalisation or legalisation) has a large majority of support.

Decriminalisation isn’t the answer: Where to now for cannabis law reform?

The government could put the referendum experience behind it, eat humble pie, and make this a genuine policy reform initiative.
