Victoria looks set to introduce a legal supply of medicinal marijuana, with the opposition voicing in-principle support.
A Law Reform Commission report on how to introduce medicinal marijuana will be tabled in the Victorian parliament on Tuesday.
“We support medical trials, we have to see the report but in principle we support it,” Liberal leader Matthew Guy told reporters.
Greens upper house MP Colleen Hartland said Victoria should also take the next step and grow its own marijuana crops.
“The logical thing would be growing it here and distilling it here so we know what the quality is,” Ms Hartland told reporters.
She said Victoria was also developing a poppy industry and medicinal marijuana could be grown alongside.
