    As to your point about not going the whole way and legalising it, I think, but I'm not sure, that it isn't possible to legalise something that is illegal under international law.

    Which "International Law" makes the personal use of cannabis illegal. I genuinely have not got a clue what you are talking about when you post that.

    I would imagine that, if the United Kingdom can reclassify the drug from Class B to Class C, therefore reducing any penalty for it's possession and use, then it can remove it from the list of proscribed drugs entirely.

    If you have information to the contrary I would like to see it.

    Similarly, if it is openly available in Holland, is it illegal - under this "International Law" you speak of. Any insight would be appreciated.

    In 1961 the United Nations made it a violation of international law to legalize marijuana.

    OTTAWA -- A Liberal MP says Canada will violate an international treaty if it moves ahead with plans to decriminalize pot.

    Ajax-Pickering MP Dan McTeague said representatives of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime met with government officials last week to warn that Canada&#39;s proposed legislative changes would contravene a 1961 UN drug control convention.

    you have to remember that not all countries are menmbers of the UN...i&#39;m not sure if holland is, but i don&#39;t think so

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    I can assure you they are.

    You should not confuse "Decriminalise" with "Legalise". In Holland, marijuana has been decriminalised, not legalised. It is not a criminal offence to be in possession of a small amount, but is still not legal, like a parking fine, for instance.
