I have to agree - legalize the stuff, but in a highly restricted manner (something our current government knows all about). Anyone producing the stuff outside the framework gets hammered, hard (Admittedly, this would be tricky to discover, I suspect - more expense). Meanwhile, the legal version gets taxed to the hilt. The people who smoke cigarettes are miles more intelligent, and they still pay through the nose, so this lot'll be easier to extort money from. Oh, and people have to sign something or other to say they are users - perfectly legally, but I'd still not employ them - I've seen just how feckless, useless and mind-numbingly tedious to be around.

The extra cost should be paid for by the taxation, and there should be some more extra (judging by the number of people who seem to use the stuff, despite protestations otherwise... the number of student would-be politicians I know...)
