thanks for the link.

its plain for all people with a little sense to see how the government would benefit from the legalisation of weed. the beneficial taxes they would get would be huge seeing although they keep saying how much the percentage usage is rising. not to mention the decrease in the crime rate, dealers being put out of business from the slightly cheaper and safer governments weed.

Also,

If or WHEN they legalize it, in the long run it COULD also be benefial to us in the UK. when the government clears its debt with everything with the tax they receive off of weed the would decrease the taxes off of our wages because of the money they are getting

Think about it guys...

legalisation for everyone
