Make the production, sale and use of cannabis legal.
Legalising cannabis could bring in £900m in taxes every year, save £400m on policing cannabis and create over 10,000 new jobs.
A substance that is safer than alcohol, and has many uses. It is believed to have been used by humans for over 4000 years, being made illegal in the UK in 1925.
Over 29 States in the United States have legalised cannabis on some level.
Over 9 countries including Canada, Spain, Switzerland and counting are taking to legalise the plant, New Zealand also holding a referendum soon to change the laws on the plant, and use in a recreational way.
