The Guardian picked up on why we must legalise cannabis now for the sake of the public health in which it said governments around the world are recognising the benefits of a regulated market. Labour MP Jeff Smith says that the UK should follow suit. He goes on to say…
“The first step for the UK would be to move responsibility for drug policy to the Department of Health and Social Care. We could establish a panel of experts to develop the most effective model for a regulated market and design a cannabis regulatory authority to implement it.
It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s increasingly politically popular too – 53% of people support decriminalisation or legal regulation, with larger majorities among young voters. Politicians of all stripes can afford to be brave on this issue, backed by the evidence.”
