Australia is Punting Away $250 Million a Year in Tax Revenue by Not Legalizing Cannabis Says New Study

Unfortunately, Australia seems to be delaying cannabis legalization and each year that they don’t they are losing out on $250 million. As of now, legislation has been introduced by the Greens to parliament with the hopes of legalizing pot around the country. The legislation is still out for public consultation though should it be given the green light, it would allow cannabis to be sold and regulated for adult use throughout the countries. In doing so, it would join the many US states who have done so successfully, as well as several other nations.
