Discussion Three of the Victoria's most senior politicians this week conceded they used cannabis in their early days.

[Boku_]

Three of the state’s most senior politicians this week conceded they used cannabis in their early days.
The blunt confessions from Premier Jacinta Allan, Opposition Leader John Pesutto and Treasurer Tim Pallas came after the government left the door open to discussions about the legalisation of marijuana.

The Herald Sun has now asked every member of parliament across all parties whether they too had ever used the illegal drug.

Some were more willing than others to provide answers.

Have you ever consumed cannabis?
