i'm for legislation, especially here in britain, where it's only been illegal for less that 75 years, and only then to appease the dickwads in europe.
i don't think complete legislation is the way though, something like amsterdam coffee shops is a good idea, you can buy stuff, smoke it in a good enviroment, but it's your own risk if you take stuff out. the government can make a lot of money from taxes, and since most of the healthcare problems asociated with it are already covered by our good friends alcohol and tobbacco (which if invented know, would sure as hell be illegal), there isn't a major shot in the arm for the NHS.
yes, i know it's not a concise argument, but it covers my main views.
