Under the law backed by MPs, possession will be legal, but strict rules mean it will be complicated.

    I think this is fine because while people should be allowed to do light drugs I don’t mind making them jump through some hoops so that it’s not that convenient. Alcohol and nicotine are definitely way too accessible and it affects perception of this law.

    I use cannabis in Poland where we accidentally legalized it by allowing doctors to prescribe it online which combined with corruption means anyone who wants it can get it but it’s not so obvious unless you’re interested. It’s a surprisingly OK compromise.

      I think if you’re not harming anyone else you should be allowed to do whatever you want. I don’t see, why drugs are prohibited in the first place.

        Well, who’s gonna pay for your medical care when you inevitably develop drug problems/health issues. So in a socialized healthcare system, you are harming others with it.

        (And not offering treatment or making the patient pay for it which they often won’t be able to, would be very inhumane imo)

          The same that pays for alcoholics, injuries from extreme sports and people suffering from heart attacks because of an unhealthy lifestyle already?

        It’s easy to harm other people by doing drugs. For example, a parent who smokes will make life worse for their child.
