Legalise Cannabis possession and growing for personal use.
It should be the publics decision. Let's vote just like we were voting for Brexit.
Alcohol and cigarettes are legal, cannabis isn't.
According to statistics alcohol or cigarettes cause more damage to your body than cannabis. Yet, cannabis is considered as a narcotic. Alcohol ruins families, yet it is legal.
The government should also consider positive impact on economy. Growing and Selling in authorised shops = tax as well as new jobs therefore decrease in the unemployment rate. It would also attract more tourists. Also, NHS might see less deaths and crime related to alcohol.
