A very interesting post and thank you for the fresh insight. I would add further the taxation that the government currently receives from alcohol is sufficient reason for them not to ban it. There are a few issues where the government could do much worse than to legalise weed and thus get a revenue stream from taxation: Fuel duties will decline as more electric milk floats replace carbon power, Cigarette revenue is on the decline as more people vape. Perhaps the legalisation of cannabis should be on the cards?

Just to clarify my own personal details;
I have never smoked weed,
I no longer smoke cigs
I have a petrol guzzler but am contemplating change
I have a superb PD and not contemplating change.
