Cannabis remains a Class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, illegal for recreational use across the UK with possession penalties up to five years in prison. Medical cannabis has been prescribable since 2018 but NHS access stays limited. Public opinion splits nearly evenly with recent polls showing 47% support for legalisation against 43% opposition while the government maintains prohibition to tackle drug-related crime.

It can be a very lucrative business if the government in this country actually use their brains. It works in other civilized countries and it also has very positive medical use too so yes I say legalise it immediately. Take advantage of the inevitable because it will never stop.
Free, adult people can choose any poison they like. Making cannabis legal would improved safety and increase budget income rather than build up criminal activities.
The war on drugs didn’t stop anyone using cannabis. It just shoved people who already do onto a black market that’s unregulated, unsafe, and can be laced with god knows what.
