Maybe - we've got MPs saying it should be legalised and others saying it should be prescription-only. I think it should be totally legal for everyone to buy, use and even grow on their own property if they want to.
Police forces throughout the country are increasingly turning a blind eye to cannabis for personal use as the significant budget cuts have forced them to concentrate on real crime.
So, what's your opinion?

Quote:A cross party group of MPs has renewed calls for cannabis to be legalised in Britain.
Senior Liberal Democrats and other Labour and Tory figures backed a report that argues the UK should follow the lead of the US.
Eight states have legalised the drug so far, four in this month's elections, and several others allow its use for medical reasons.
The report, by the Adam Smith Institute and Volteface, claims legalisation could net the Treasury more than £1bn a year in tax revenue.
It also says the number of prisoners in jail for drugs offences would drop, saying the taxpayer millions.
