Because, of course, since the Green party is a small party, it couldn't possibly have devised the idea first or devised the idea independantly of the LIb Dems, they must have stolen it.
As Emma said, bad wording on my behalf. Although it's unlikely that they came up with a policy so similar without some consideration, and personally I'd say the Lib Dems had it first. But what do I know
And Kim, I think that's actually what the Lib Dems
do want to do. There's one benefit to that, and that's being able to control sales and gain tax from the drug. I'd say the reasoning behind it is that less people die smoking Cannabis use than from tobacco and alcohol abuse. Saying that, I don't think it's a particularly good idea; almost like condoning the use of drugs, even if it is soft ones. *Is reminded of High Society by Ben Elton*
