I will never understand why the people in charge don't see that if they legalised it, they'd not only be helping the people who actually need to use it, they'd be freeing up police time for more serious crimes, taking a lot of steam out of the sails of drug cartels by allowing it to be legally grown, making sure that at least people are getting stuff that isn't cut with anything else, and, if money is all they care about.... they can get tax revenue from it :/
Over here they've recently pledged to ignore the advice given by major studies and keep drugs criminalised. Never mind that countries like Portugal which have legalised drug use completely haven't collapsed because of that.
