With Canada legalizing weed in July 2018 I'm almost certain legislation will at least be getting serious consideration in the UK by 2020. I support the legalization of weed largely on a personal liberty basis. If a law is "to protect citizens from themselves", such as drug laws, I inherently feel it's imposing one what should be an individuals choice.

Weed having several practical uses, and the double standard with alcohol, kind of exacerbates the problem IMHO.
