[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 239627"] But the price of cannabis would drop due to the legal means of it's production and transportation. An 1/8 of an ounce of 'skunk' costs, what? between £15-25. That cost would fall by a huge margin, then the government can slap a nice 50%+ tax on it, raising it back up to what it was before. In the end, most people would get it through legal means (like the majority of people buy cigarettes/alcohol from the shop). So those arguments do hold some water. Not sure if the Netherlands model could work in the UK. There's no-where on earth with the same rediculous problems we have with binge drinking (not to the same extent), the same would almost certainly happen with MaryJ. [/QUOTE]
