You are assuming this to be correct with no evidence and ignoring my caveat about appropriate supply & treatment regimes?
The NHS have enough expense treating patients without self inflicted problems, setting up a scheme you suggest would cost a fortune, money we haven't got.

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.

Why........
Because there are developments and it's possible soon at least cannabis will be legalised...

Heard about Baroness Meacher?

Baroness Meacher: Taking drugs is like having a cup of coffee, says peer who wants ecstasy sold in chemists | Mail Online

Quote:
Youngsters should be encouraged to switch from drinking alcohol to taking drugs, the head of a powerful parliamentary group said yesterday.
Baroness Meacher also compared taking banned substances to drinking coffee.

The former social worker insisted some drugs are ‘a good deal safer’ than tobacco and alcohol and said it may be a ‘very good thing’ if teenagers stopped getting drunk and took some types of legal highs instead.

Also Nick Clegg also says that the current system of drug legislation doesn't work!

What we should have is leisure centers in which all types of (safe) drugs are on sale and there are assistants and medics etc on hand just in case anybody has a bad one - then every body can have safe fun with their drugs! :D:):)

I suggest those of you who want to indulge in mind altering substances, you visit a country that allows it.
Of course you could pop over to Indonesia :confused:

To lure all the thieving, robbing and general scummy smackheads into once place and execute them all? Sounds like fun to me

Care to define what constitutes a (safe) drug? Who will pay for these leisure centres?

What criteria is necessary to become an 'assistant'? What training will they need? Who will pay for this training? Who will regulate them? Who will insure these assistants in case of claims from people who are injured during 'bad ones'?

Where will the money come from to hire the 'medics'? Are you expecting the NHS to underwrite any issues that occur during these 'leisure periods'?

Which 'partly' was the joke, leisure centres, (safe) drugs, assistants or 'medics'?

And which was 'partly' not a joke, leisure centres, (safe) drugs, assistants or medics?
