Far too sensible!

One of the repeating themes on this blog is the absurdity of the so-called "war on drugs", which costs big money, ties up a lot of law-enforcement manpower, and has little effect on the extent of the supply and consumption of drugs.  All it does is make it a more profitable enterprise for the criminals who control the supply and distribution chain.  And now we have an official Treasury report saying that legalising and regulating cannabis would save millions of pounds in court costs and police time, and potentially raise millions more in revenue.  Will anybody listen?  What do you think?
