Should cannabis be legalised?
Recreational cannabis…
- Legalise and regulate it
- Decriminalise use, not sale
- Keep the ban and enforce it
What's at stake: European countries have made opposite choices, from prohibition to regulated legalisation. The disagreement is over what best protects young people: the ban or control.
The left's argument
Prohibition makes dealers rich. Legalising makes it possible to control and protect.
The centre's argument
Stop prosecuting users so as to target dealers, without normalising sales.
The right's argument
Cannabis is harmful, especially for young people. Legalising it would normalise its use.
