We all know The Greens party obsession with drugs. He is a taste of their policies from the WA branch:

…decriminalise and regulate cannabis cultivation and possession for personal use, while monitoring its health effects, particularly on young people; continue to research, seek expert advice and encourage public debate on the most socially responsible options for the use of cannabis; and allow doctors to prescribe cannabis for specified medical conditions such as chemo-induced nausea, AIDs wasting syndrome and chronic pain.

But what does the latest research say on the matter:

Brain scans on 15 men who smoked at least five joints a day for more than a decade show for the first time that they have structural brain abnormalities not seen in non-smokers.

The researchers from the University of Melbourne say their findings should settle the historic controversy over the long-term effects of cannabis use with solid proof of the damage it causes.

Which probably explains a good deal about The Greens and their policies. Only the mentally deficiant could support them.
