It's over three years since the Lost-in-the-2016-Purge BPX021 discussed the question as to whether drugs should be legalised. The needle hasn't moved much in the real world since then but with the General Election looming the issue has again come up via some of the parties.
The Liberal Democrats have pledged to legalise the market for Cannabis if they were to come into power and implement a licensed sales market for 18+ buyers.
The SNP are taking a different tact, instead pushing for legal consumption rooms to exist in Scotland so that users have a protected space.
Whilst a drug treatment charity has implored the parties to consider all options though keeping in mind that any agreed changes to outdated laws and practices must reflect British culture as copying other countries approaches is not a guaranteed fix.
With the issue once again back in the arena of debate:
Do you think current political stances will change anytime soon?
Since 2016 have your opinions changed on the issue?
