Thanks everyone for sticking around and we finally broke into 3 digits! 100 people wanting to write letter to their MPs.

Getting onto the content of this post though, as said the way we would choose what topic to write letters and provide a consensus would be the 'best' comment in the discussion thread. This fortnight that is beard-maketh-the-man:

Why, despite evidence showing it's relatively safe with few risks, with decriminalisation being a success in other countries and now a few American states legalising it, is cannabis still illegal?

Users shouldn't be criminalised and the law only helps harder criminals thrive in the black market. Education and help for those that abuse it can be paid for via taxation. Cottage industries could pop up all across the country.

It's harsh knowing I could get a criminal record for having a bong. I'd also rather not be supporting harder criminals, but I can't risk growing it. I could stop, but I enjoy it and it hurts nobody.

Legalise, regulate and make it safe.

So, if you're with us, please try to write a letter to your MP about this issue. Use statistics and references while possible, and mention that various states in the USA have legalised it for personal use.

As said in another thread, letters can be addressed to [MP] House of Commons, Westminster, London, SW1A 0AA

Finally, when you have written the letter, it'd be great if you could post a comment to that effect in this thread so we get an idea of numbers.
