---

MORE than half the public want the sale and possession of cannabis
decriminalised or even legalised, a poll revealed yesterday.

It found 28 per cent favour decriminalisation - making it a minor offence
like parking on double yellow lines - while 23 per cent want full legalisation.

Fifty-two per cent applaud the move to downgrade cannabis from a Class B to
Class C drug. Only 43 per cent believe selling or possessing it should
remain a crime.

The survey found that 44 per cent think dope is "seriously addictive" while
75 per cent think the same about alcohol.

Fewer than 10 per cent of the 2,536 adults questioned by YouGov want to see
any change to thelaws on hard drugs.
