I don't know about complete legalization. However, putting addicts in prison for simple possession is a disservice to society. From that angle, we sought to treat addiction as a public health issue rather than a legal one.

I am definitely in favor of full legalization of cannabis - and live where it happens to be so. It remains to be seen what happens in the long term, but so far, it does not appear to negatively impact society.
