I use cannabis, and I would give the ALCP my party vote.
I use cannabis, but I don't want to waste my party vote on a single-issue party.
I don't use cannabis, but I support legalisation and would give the ALCP my party vote.
I don't use cannabis. I don't oppose legalisation, but won't waste my party vote supporting it.
I don't use cannabis, and I oppose legalisation.
I am not too worried, they already know who I am, if they really wanted something to do then I suppose they could look up my(or any other minor offendors) record and pay me a visit, although we both know it would be a waste of time, I like a puff occasionally, but I also own my own house, hold down at least two jobs, and make sure my kids are well looked after and those things come first.

I'm not going to get suckered into a "bell curve" argument by a bunch of yay-sayers in the third standard deviation. Marijuana is not harmless, and neither are its current distribution and marketing systems. If it is going to be legalised it will need to be cheaper than the product is at present. And I'm a bit uncomfortable with making products like this cheaper and more readily available.

I concur in that full legalisation might not be such a good idea, and it would give children easier access to pot than they have at present.
But, to put the other half of your argument in perspective, almost nothing is harmless, especially in excess. Man, even barbequed steak is said to be carcinogenic. Eating too much sugar throughout your life can cause you to develop type II diabetes. The microbes which cause legionnaire's disease could be living in your shower rose. We all know about the dangers of tobacco and alcohol. Shit, somebody even told me the other day that riding motorcycles was dangerous!
Live and let live, people should be free to make their own, informed, choices, and to be free from persecition for doing so. That is why I think decriminalisation, rather than legalisation, is the way to go.
(sigh)For those even less astute than Dover:
We already have a shark (booze) in the pool (society) and obviously it is not a good thing..
Certain people seem to think it would be a 'good idea' to introduce a barracoutta (cannabis) to the pool "Because it's not as bad as alcohol" (the shark).

You have a point. More Laws relating to what we cannot do just adds to the number of crimes committed I guess but on the other hand if drugs were made legal and the price goes up will this have a knock on effect on increase in crimes to pay for drugs or will the fact the drugs are no longer illusive make them cheaper?
