I wouldn't.
Maybe bacause of the problems it would cause my industry, like I said above, but if we can't even trust most people with booze, which, yes, I know is more harmful, how are you ever going to argue that the common man is going to use cannabis responsibly, when people are already fuck ups with the one vice that is legal?

two points:
firstly, legalising it does not mean people have to be allowed to smoke it in pubs

secondly it's absurdly easy to get hold of, I doubt that many more people would smoke it than do if it were legal, but that's an opinion.

of course they would,
It is a lot more difficult to get hold of than just popping down the shop for a six pack of special brew. It would be cheaper if legal most probably, and therefore might attract the down and outs.

And try making it legal without allowing it in pub gardens. This is the problem I see, and this isn't aimed at you, I have many friends on the legalise side of the argument that are the same. In our little circle (i do smoke) we would all be responsible if it was legal, probably even be ok to do it in the pub as well, and they argue that that is the reason it should be lagalised, forgetting the sort of people I encounter every day at work, espeically on weekends, who have no self control, are cretins, do not act like repsonsible human beings, and i run quite a nice pub in Oxford. Now, these people shouldn't be allowed booze, let alone any other substance that could cause them to vomit on my furniture, or pass out and mash their head open on the cobbles. But its too late to ban booze, we should not encaurage these people. at all. We're not all like you and me and our hippy mates.

I can get drugs delivered pretty much 24-7, don't even need to leave the door.
Also given the taxation it would attract, I doubt very much it would be cheaper, just less likely to be adulterated or whatever.

The rest of your point is sound though.

MAybe you're right about the taxation,
but where there is a market, there is a marketeer, and therefore cheap cannabis, on the lines of special brew, would exist I'm sure.
