Background
Legalizing cannabis will reduce illegal markets, provide safer products, and generate significant tax revenue to support public services like healthcare and education. Other countries have shown legalization can reduce crime, ease pressure on police and courts, and create jobs. It allows for better public health outcomes by regulating quality and promoting responsible use. The UK has an opportunity to adopt an evidence-based policy that benefits society and the economy.
