LDDPR commissioned a poll which asked which of three regulatory options participants would find most tolerable for a number of different drugs. The options were; light regulation; strict government control and regulation; and prohibition. […] 66% of Daily Mail/Express readers would prefer cannabis were legal and regulated. 67% of Conservative voters think the same. […] I previously have been dismayed by the shameful populism displayed by politicians on drug policy issues. In light of this poll, I look forward to the politicians adopting and vigorously defending the truly populist stance in proposing the strict government control and regulation of cannabis.
