If you condsider smoking cannabis as drug abuse then to legalise it would definatley increase the use of cannabis but increase Goverment income through high taxes on the substance...but then just as tobbaco there will be people eager to undercut by selling it cheaper without tax.. so back to square one!
Even though cannabis has recently been reclassified from Class C to Class B, it still sounds highly unlikely that someone would face court proceedings unless they were supplying it.

I'm still puzzled as to why some people think it would be 'abused' more if it was legalised, than it is now.
