UK: Should cannabis be legalised in the Channel Islands?
ITV News Wednesday 04 Mar 2015 The campaigners are petitioning deputies saying evidence in other jurisdictions such as the US state of Colorodo suggests legalising the drug could help reduce crime and boost the economy. It comes at a time when Guernsey's government is carrying out a major review on how to diversify its sources for tax revenue. We have recently had a recession, legalizing Marijuana would benefit us massively. It would create jobs, it would generate millions of pounds per year. Look at how much money the Netherlands make. We are stupid not to follow suit. Not to mention it would mean all the street dealers who do not pay tax who are generating millions right now would be a thing of the past. Also it would save the government money not having to deal with them and the police would benefit also. Hence making not only the drug safe, but also the people involved. Colorado made $10 million in taxes in the first 4 months! Think how much we could do for our island with that money! Think how much improvements we could make for our young people. – Petitioners You can find the petition here. https://www.change.org/p/deputies-and-law-officers-of-the-channel-islands-legalize-marijuana-and-hemp-in-the-channel-islands http://www.itv.com/news/channel/update/2015-03-04/should-cannabis-be-legalised-in-the-channel-islands/
