Legalising Cannabis.

Transform Drug Policy Foundation has released results from an Ipsos MORI poll showing that 53% of the British public are ready to 'legalise or decriminalise' cannabis. Huffington Post.
Firstly - I think that this is one of those polls with questions 'rigged' to get a particular answer from a specific demographic. When these results are repeated across a much wider range, only then shall I become concerned.
Secondly - Abortion polls have long been 'rigged' by lumping together 'abortion on demand' alongside 'abortion post rape' and 'saving the life of the mother'. By using this egregious technique, support for abortion is seen as being much higher than in fact is the case.
Thirdly - If there is any significant support for legalisation of cannabis out there - education is a must. Schools must review their presentations of this most dangerous of psychosis-inducing drugs.
Finally - Perhaps I am not as far across towards to libertarian positions as I had previously thought.
