Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses

YES, AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASE ANYONE SERVING TIME SOLELY FOR DRUG OFFENSES

Weed needs to be legalised, taxed and decriminalised. There are so many issues with black market weed right now - with people covering it with salt, bicarb, silica and other powders to try to bulk it out and make it look more crystalised. People will likely start dying soon if this mess isn't sorted out.

However, weed is already legal for medical use. Many people get it prescribed already via private clinics, so some of these answers are redundant.

We should spend more time taxing and regulating usage of similar addictive substances such as vaping and only then decide on whether it is possible to safely decriminalise marijuana.

Yes, and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

Legalise, decriminalise & heavily tax (40%)

If we legalise, decriminalise & tax marijuana - the U.K. could see a 2 billion GDP profit per annum (according to various studies).

If we were to implore a similar system as the Dutch in the Netherlands this could reduce the strain we currently see on prisons, policing and costs to the economy - whilst also helping the nation with our current trillion pounds of debt.

It may also bring tourism, alongside boosting exportation and bolster job opportunities to farming communities with liscenced farmers (good for the environment as well as boosting specialist careers and our economic options).…  Read more

This also means we would reduce the reliance on 100million pound costs per year on Dutch imports for medical marijuana based care such as Epidolex (epilepsy cbd based drugs) which instead could be home-grown and exported for profit as well as boosting our own U.K. farming.

Yes, legalise, tax and regulate it as well as releasing those serving non-violent drug related sentences.

 @9H47YKGanswered…5mos5MO

It should be legalised, heavily taxed and restricted to usage on private property which permits it themselves, and if these private properties are businesses and not residential they should be marked 18+ so children are not influenced, it should also be advised against in the same way smoking is.

yes Cannabis should be legalised, regulated, taxed in a similar way to tobacco. Stop calling it Marijuana, thats a made up racist name for a the plant from America to make it sound 'foreign'

Legalise, tax, regulate, release of prisoner and immediate wipe of criminal records of non violent cannabis offences

 @9FVKSV6answered…7mos7MO

Yes and regulate it, like tobacco and alcohol. Also, release people in prison for possession and use of it. Only dealers should be imprisoned.

 @9FJNLJHanswered…7mos7MO

Decriminalising should be trialled for a period of time, same with ecstasy

 @DAVIEBrexit answered…8mos8MO

Only medicinal cannabis through prescription allowed. Otherwise maintain it as Class B as the drug links lead to psychological and mental harm and has been linked to various criminal acts.

Treat it the same as alcohol. Some bad people will use the drug and use it as an excuse for their behaviour

I'd say "Yes, and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it"
with the proviso that it be permitted only through licensed sources (to deter tax-avoiding unregulated suppliers);
that it be further researched towards being offered free on the NHS where of likely medical benefit, or if chosen by user without clear medical basis but with medical permission, at users' own cost through government/NHS certified suppliers;
that users be required to provide evidence of where they obtained it if stopped under the influence;
that offences committed under its influence be still appropriately prosecuted (eg. dangerous driving, or neglect of dependents);
that habitual users should be obliged to declare this use to employers and prospective employers

Legalise but regulate recreational drinks to ensure that the active ingredients are consistent. However if legalisation is to reduce financial gain in organised crime then you have to legalise all substances, including new ones not yet invented, regardless of their potential fo harm.

Adopt the Amsterdam Cafe's and increase tougher penalties for those smoking in public places.
