THIS WEEK, JAMAICA legalised small amounts of weed, and also established a licensing agency to regulate a lawful medical marijuana industry.

It said the move followed changes to drug laws in other countries. In the US, for example, a number of states legalised recreational marijuana use.

But have the changes around the world affected your view on cannabis legalisation, or has it stayed the same?

Today, we’re asking: Have your views on cannabis legalisation changed?

Poll Results:

No, I've always supported legalislation (4797)

No, I've never supported it and still don't (1830)

Yes - I now support legalisation (1584)

Yes - I no longer support legalisation (182)
