Personally I would like to have guilt-free cannabis as an option to some of the pain killers the medics dish out.
A lot of people are conditioned by the press. For example they claimed this drug that killed 5 people is Ecstacy (MDMA) it is not but called PMA nothing to do with MDMA! But the press want to brainwash people who can't be bothered doing their own research and just believe in bull fed to them.

Alcohol causes a lot of damage to idiots - who will behave like idiots regardless - but it's still legal! Yes there is a black market trade but again only idiots would buy poison with the hope of getting some cheap booze.

Thing is Dave decriminlization is probably going to occur sooner than later - sure cannabis should be available for medical purposes.
