Obviously.... think of the wasted tax revenue if you're a politician.

If cannabis has mental health implications how come despite an increasing trend for use has not triggered a corresponding increasing cases?

Prohibition and prosecution for a victimless crime is senseless. Is a criminal record really a fitting punishment? Destroying peoples lives and careers because of a choice they made that affects nobody except (and the health implications are debatable ) the user themselves.

Yes, there's never been a real reason for it to be prohibited. If it's banned because it's dangerous why are tobacco and alcohol legal? They kill almost 100,000 people a year, cannabis hasn't killed anyone in over 6000 years! The only people benefitting seem to be the oil, timber, and cotton industries, while people who've never broken a law in their lives are imprisoned for growing a plant. Very strange.
I think people should be allowed to make up their own minds if they want a pint of the black stuff, a cig, or a joint. What's it got to do with the government anyway?

Yes it should be allowed. And Im one of the those who people would assume would say the opposite. I dont use cannabis and moreover my son's use of cannabis is linked to his very severe mental health problems. So I believe passionately that the message about risks for some people shold be got across. But NOT by banning people from doing it and punishing them if they do. Its a health message, not a legal one. Adults have the right to make their own decisions about use, with the knowledge that for some there are risks. Totall banning does not infom about safe use - it just gets peoples backs up. What should NOT be allowed is selling it to children and with strict controls in a leglised framework this need not happen.
