Poll: Should Ireland move to legalise marijuana?

It may happen in a number of American states. Would you like to see it here?

VOTERS IN THE states of Washington and Colorado in the US have opened a pathway to legalise marijuana following a milestone ballot yesterday.

Although authorities have stressed that the drug will remain illegal under federal law, supporters believe the win will force a new approach rather than prohibition.
