Agree Disagree Don't know Don't care

I think that: Cannabis should be made legal and production methods should be brought under the scrutiny of the law.

Because: Cannabis can be a “gateway drug”, and can lead users onto serious substance abuse. Dealers usually have access to more than one substance, and the more one buys, the more money they make. It’s in their interest to get you wanting more drugs; which is where the line: “I’ve just got some new stuff in, wanna try it out?” comes into play. Yes, Cannabis is a gateway drug, but that is because of the supply network that surrounds it. Were it to be decriminalised this problem would not exist. Most people don’t sample drugs like children in a sweet shop, and taking one does not leave a wanting for others. If we sold it over the counter like any other substance then the problem of it being a “gateway drug” would disappear.
