Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
Possession convictions I believe, and also looking into the classification. Apparently under federal law it is classified at the same level as heroin.

But did he inhale? I think that's the question everyone should be asking....

Are you suggesting we should be more instep with the US?

I was referring to Biben’s recent comments on trickle down economics and the confirmation that we won’t be getting a trade deal.
All of which are out of step with our current Government’s political thinking

Does making certain drugs illegal reduce the supply or help those who are adversely affected by their use?
If illegal drugs are nevertheless widely available, is there any quality control to ensure that the user gets an unaldulterated product of known strength?
Is there any evidence that harm increases when drugs are legalised?

Benzodiazepines, opioids, steroids, tobacco, alcohol. They are all legal and cause huge amounts of harm. Why wouldn't it be the same for cannabis?
Is there any evidence that harm decreases when drugs are legalised?

Is 'why wouldn't it' a sound basis for making law?

If legalisation implies regulated supply and sale then it should as the risk arising from additives etc would reduce.
AIUI it's fairly common for heroin addicts to suffer overdoses when they get an unexpected 'clean' dose rather than one that's adulterated.

Probably as sound as 'there is a lack of quality control in cannabis production'

'Let's give it a try and see' isn't much better when you are talking about something that is basically a recreational thing and where legalising it has a risk but doesn't bring any massive public benefit, other than freeing up police time.
Opoids on prescription are pure and without additives. So are cigarettes. The danger is in the nature of the product itself and in its addictiveness, surely.
( As an aside, interesting stats on UK drug deaths 2021 here. Mostly heroin and cocaine, mostly aged 45-49 Generation X ie born late 60's/70's, big North South divide, men have double the death rate of women.

I'm not saying cannabis is as addictive as legal opiates or illegal cocaine. But we do know there are long term effects and once it's legalised there will be no going back.
