WORST POSSIBLE ANSWER

I am in favour of legalising cannabis for medical use, and would see it 
legalised completely if it is safe.  But this development is the worst 
possible answer and terrible hypocrisy.  The user creates the market.  When 
someone buys an illegal drug they are supporting organised crime, terrorist 
organisations and oppression in poor countries across the world.  We cannot 
tell children that it is all right for them to support these criminals.
