I'm stoned right now so I just thought I'd ask the question, should cannabis be legalised?
The Uk laws are that if you're 17 or under, you'll be arrested and taken to a police station for a formal warning (your parent or guardian will be asked to attend). If it's not your first offence you may earn a drugs conviction in court.
If you are over 18, the police will confiscate your drugs and will most likely give you a warning - but they still have the power to arrest you if you are:

a repeat offender

smoking in public

a threat to public order

have cannabis near any premises used by children.
Supplying and dealing remains a far more serious offence than possession and the maximum penalty for supplying and dealing Class C is still 14 years plus an unlimited fine.
What are you laws and should it be legalised?
