People who are against the legalisation of cannabis are on the wrong side of history. The tide is quite rightly turning in many western countries. Britain isn't progressive enough yet for either the Tories or Labour to campaign on its legalisation for recreational use - in fact I think it'd be electoral suicide - but I give it twenty years before this is no longer a debate, but reality.
Coming from a home with an alcoholic parent, I'm inclined to agree that maybe we should.
