There is an example of ‘legalisation boosting consumption’. Price does not come into this matter.

The arrogance of Chris Fearne towards just about everyone you meant?

Do you realise how expensive it is in Amsterdam where it is legal?

People who want to use cannabis, for what ever reason, are already using cannabis, so it is already acceptable to those that use it.

No one is going to force you to use cannabis if you do not care for it or do not want to use it.

Decriminalizing a substance that is less destructive than alcohol is a step in the right direction but Legalization, Control and Taxation of cannabis should be the way to go in my opinion.

To tax profits, the government would first have to recognise the cannabis trade. But what the MLP really wants is to make the drug acceptable and increase consumption (see my original comment).

As a medical cannabis user I can tell you that one of the reason that Big Pharma is not very interested, other that they can’t patent cannabis, is that cannabis is not destructive enough to the human body to their liking.

Actually drug barons love things the way they are now regarding cannabis.

An ounce of dried flower buds from a fairly easy to grow plant should not cost 200 to 300 dollars with the government taking no cut of the profits in taxes.

He has always struck me as an honest and kind person.
