The only way you could ever make that work is to make the penalties for dealing cannabis so severe it stopped it happening. Quite how you would enforce that and term someone as having "non personal use" levels of cannabis is another story. Nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It isn't really. You legalise it and tax it then the sale will be controlled and the prices will go up hugely. Your average cannabis pothead won't pay 20 quid when they can pay 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a 'cannabis pothead'? Do you know what you are talking about? How big is the market here in duty free cigarettes? Do 90%+ of tobacco sales occur in shops?

That'll be why we all get our booze from secret breweries and illegal distilleries rather than the supermarket or the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the teachers I know spent many long hours putting their syllabuses online and setting up systems such as Google Classroom to facilitate learning from home.

That's unfortunate, but perhaps basing teacher salaries on an unprecedented event in recent history isn't the most pragmatic approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
