Most people who have strong views on the decriminalisation of cannabis are (unsurprisingly enough) those people who actually smoke the stuff regularly.
I have never smoked it, and never will, but at the same time, I strongly believe it should be decriminalised. People should be allowed do what they want, as long as they're not hurting others.
They should be allowed to make up their own mind on whether or not they want to smoke that stuff, and with that they must accept to take the risks that come with it...i.e. no suing a big multinational hash producer years from now, because you're brain has shrivelled up due to twelve years of non stop smoking their product.
To me, the effects of alcohol abuse are far worse than that of cannabis. I mean how often do you hear of stoners walking the streets, picking fights with random people? How many often do people end up in the emergency room of a hospital due to a dope fuelled stabbing? To me, alcohol is a much bigger problem, yet it is perfectly legal.
I believe that cannabis should be legalised, but strictly controlled.
