The amount of tax they could generate by decriminalizing it and issuing a permit for cultivation for personal use of up to 10-15 plants per time, if the permit is reasonably priced that is, say £100-£200 per year.
The money saved by the authorities not pursuing this illegal law, the money generated by the permit tax… we are talking millions here.. Not to mention the jobs this would create, people wanting joiners and electricians to build/help build and maintain their grow rooms, increase in grow shop sales, the electric and water companies getting paid for the extra consumption instead of the current ways, the resources being stolen… (more money going into the economy instead of the black market).
The governments of the whole world need to cease this illegal law on cannabis, admit they were wrong to criminalize it in the first place..

The Green Party should have this as one of their main policies, watch their votes rise, and ultimately get the seats they need to carry out all of their policies ;)
