We chat over zoom with ACT MLA Michael Pettersson, asking him the questions we've been quietly wondering about since the ACT passed legal cannabis back in 2019.

As a Labor backbencher, Michael has put his career on the line to champion progressive drug law reforms - he was the one to spotlight the issue (against party platform) and presented a proposal to the public.

The response was largely positive, which created new opportunities for Michael's colleagues to appreciate the bill and what it could mean for the territory.

Now, with cannabis legal to grow in the ACT, Pettersson and other Labor members are tabling additional legislation to decriminalise illicit substances (such as heroin, MDMA and methamphetamine).
