This slipped under my radar. I did search and found no posts so apologises if its been covered..

*In a nut shell, they propose a 4 plant limit for home growing.

It is a good read and after the last petition was thrown out, over evidence dating back to a dodgy report from 2008 (the scientist who worked on it was sacked for his results, mdma and cannabis less harmful than alcohol and tobacco), its forward thinking for once.

It's the lib dems so its all lies and fantasy. I would love something good to happen for cannabis in the u.k but i can't see it happening any time soon!

I agree, but they said the same about the Canadian libs and they have just gone and told the UN that they're legalizing it in 2017.
One thing is for sure, it will never be legal here for us under the conservative government.

2000 and never

who cares any way.. we will crack on regardless

The Lib Dems have been the forerunners for legalisation for a long time. Unfortunately it's unlikely they'll ever be in power.

I was hoping the labour party might do a switch-a-roo and become a bit more forward thinking.
This was from the last election..

One thing is for sure, the Conservative government aren't EVER going to even contemplate it. They're stuck in stupid backward thinking 'traditional' policy making.

If there was a coalition between the libs and labour then There's a fighting chance of decriminalisation but it looks highly unlikely. Most police commissioners have stated that under 9 plants and 1 tent, your unlikely to be sentenced to prison. Big slap on the wrist though..

I think we might find ourselves in basically a decriminalized situation before too long. Look at Durham for example. Police there have said as long as you're not taking the piss, they ain't knocking on your door. I think a lot of other counties have/will adopt a similar policy, just being less vocal in the media about it.

I can see things changing legally eventually. I think once the majority of the US has gone legal for both medical/rec use then we'll be forced to follow suit for fear of losing out on the global canna/hemp trade/dollar.
