Re: Cannabis
I thought there was a moratorium anyway on charging people with possession if all they had was a reasonable amount of cannabis for their own use. Cannabis is very effective for MS - I worked in MS research, like Margaret, and it did help a great deal.
A-B - you mentioned that guns don't kill people, it's people who kill people. Well, now we have a total ban on legally owned handguns. So it's only the criminals who have them now, so obviously that's fine. HOWEVER, both Michael Ryan at Hungerford and the maniac at Dunblane had legally owned handguns, for which they were licensed by their local police! A ban doesn't seem to be necessarily the right thing. Better vetting of gun-owners might just work rather better - if someone is so keen on getting a shooter, they will.
And I agree, let's license drugs as well - cut out the criminal element. (Oh, sorry, forgot about those robbing b******s in the Government!)
