@ Chris Borg,
Yes unfortunately our laws are very much behind other countries when it comes to things like this. We are still treating cannabis in the "one cigarette and you're hooked on heroin" mentality whereas other countries have cut down their focus on cannabis and concentrated on harder, dangerous drugs.
