Mock Cannabis Dispensary Shows Legalization Benefits

0:00I'm Corey, and this is your Pulse of the City, Adelaide News today. The Legally's cannabis South Australia party recently set up a mock dispensary to show how regulated cannabis sales could work if legalized in the state. They demonstrated a store with strict entry rules, requiring customers over 18 to show identification. This set up draws for models already running in other countries, according to the party. They claim it would bring in $1 billion in state revenue over four years. That money they say could fund roads, schools, and hospitals helping the whole community. Medical leaders, including the Australian Medical Association in South Australia, strongly oppose recreational use. They support cannabis only for specific medical treatments under tight controls. The party pushes back, arguing regulation would make cannabis safer by shifting it from illegal street sales to licensed shops. Meanwhile, Premier Peter Malinowska says the government's priority remains keeping young people healthy.
