Legalise Marijuana for recreational use, with profits earmarked for the NHS.
The legalisation of licensed Marijuana sale, for recreational and medical use would generate millions of pounds for the NHS. It would also save police forces time and money which is currently being spent in a futile attempt to prevent the use and distribution of Marijuana.
The illegal status of Marijuana use and distribution has no effect on either. The only people who benefit from this are drug dealers, making a profit which goes untaxed. The sale of Marijuana would generate millions upon millions of pounds which could be channeled directly into our desperately underfunded NHS and would starve organised crime of a massive revenue stream. Instead of police forces wasting time and money, the taxed sale of Marijuana would deal a huge blow to organised crime
