About LinkBacksI don't really have an opinion for or against its legalisation, but I'll be most interested to see crime stats and such in the UK over the next few months.
Lets see if it does reduce crime when legal.

They keep decriminalising and recriminalising ... maybe they should just have a season where it's legal and ban it the other 9 months.

It should be legalised, every second person smokes it, frankly, it is far less harmful than alcohol and it is simple idiocy to have a blanket ban.
My preference would be to allow commercial growing, rather than private, this allows for quality controls and taxation, it would also free up Garda time, allowing them to chase down the heroin pushers
I don't smoke it myself, as it only ever gave me bad whiteys, but that doesn't mean that others who use it, shouldn't be allowed to engage for recreational use
I agree, home cultivation should be permitted. However, I don't agree on the commercialisation of a product that is still quite carcinogenic. Whether cannabis smoke is more carcinogenic than tobacco smoke is up for debate, and different research has come up with conflicting results.
There's probably no god. Now, stop worrying and enjoy your life.
In South Australia home cultivation was allowed , however it soon became a center for commercial production and export.

South Autralia - The marijuana capital of Australia
SA decriminalised the "personal" use of marijuana in 1987. It was a happy hippy period. People grew up to 10 plants in the backyard and no criminal conviction was recorded. They gave each of their plants some TLC to gain their THC.
"A plant can be worth up to $5,000," Wells (of Stickypoint) said. "Ten plants is $50,000. "Dope growing puts food on the table, petrol in the car, school uniforms on kids' backs, and Christmas presents under the tree."
But when police surveillance helicopters took to the air and discovered large plantations, the crops moved indoors. "Hydroponics systems are being used to grow cannabis on a relatively large scale", the Bureau of Criminal Intelligence finds.
"Unlike external plantations, hydroponic cultivation can be used in any region and in not regulated by growing seasons. Both residential and industrial areas are used to establish these indoor sites. Cellars and concealed rooms in existing residential and commercial properties are also used." Wells puts it simply. "Outdoors you get one crop a year. Indoors, hydroponically, three or four. It fits into people's quarterly bill-paying cycle."
