On Monday 12 October, at 4.30pm, MPs will debate the legalisation of cannabis in Westminster Hall. The debate results from an e-petition that garnered more than 220,000 signatures. Below is a briefing for MPs, to support the call for the government to take control of the cannabis trade by legalising and regulating its production and supply.
International context
In October 2014 US Assistant Secretary of State William Brownfield told a press conference: “the international community should ...accept flexible interpretation of [the] conventions. We must...tolerate different national drug policies, to accept the fact that some countries...will legalize entire categories of drugs.”
“How could I, a representative of the Government of the United States of America, be intolerant of a government that permits any experimentation with legalization of marijuana if two of the 50 states of the United States of America have chosen to walk down that road?”
