It's OK to carry WEED in Australia's Capital Territory - 9 News

Aggie Bradshaw reporting on ACT's new Cannabis legislation for 9 News Canberra.

Canberrans are now able to possess up to 50 grams of cannabis and grow two plants.

Today marks the start of new laws passed in the capital in September, with health authorities rolling out a new campaign.

The ACT government maintains it's not encouraging the use of cannabis, calling the laws an "evolutionary change".

A maximum of four plants can be grown per household while hydroponic set ups are still illegal.

Drug-driving laws will still be in effect and users cannot expose children to the drug. People are also not able to legally buy seeds to grow the plants.
