Decriminalisation of cannabis in UK
Over 10,000 people a year die in the uk alone with thier death directly linked to alcohol, whereas 100,000 people die a year in the uk from smoking related illness. These are all perfectly legal drugs that the majority of people can buy cheaply over a counter. Cannabis has killed 2 people ever in the world. The lowest figures out of any known drug. Yet its a class B, frowned upon pass-time in this country. Many parts of the world have decriminalised cannabis and it is proven to decrease drug crime by over 50%. The evidence is there, now lets do something about it.
