had a browse of the thread and it seems like none of yas touched on weed decriminalisation/legalisation/commercialisation and the ramifications of it.

aside from the whole 'drugs are evil' viewpoint and the possible health detriments associated with it, i'm kinda confused as to why there's been so little conversation regarding the topic. i understand that in a political sense you can't benefit from taking a stand on this issue (if abbott brings it up, he shits all over the viewpoint of a decent part of his demographic, and you can't really get a significant piece of legislation through like same sex marriage or weed decriminalisation through if you're on the oppo side) but there's been minimal mainstream discussion about an issue that a lot of first world countries are having at present. what do we all think?
