In Canberra, cannabis use has remained stable five years after decriminalization, with no significant increase in consumption rates. The Australian Capital Territory’s strategy of treating possession of small amounts for personal use as a civil, rather than criminal, offense has not led to a surge in drug use, according to a recent study. The findings suggest that decriminalization has not resulted in a surge in drug use, and instead may have helped reduce stigma and improve access to support services for cannabis users in Canberra.
