Original Note:
The Scottish government have proposed decriminalising possession of drugs for personal use, as stated in the article linked. They have not proposed legalisation, as claimed in the headline and tweet. Possession would remain illegal, but not subject to criminal penalties. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66133549 https://www.drugscience.org.uk/drug-policy-explained-legalisation-decriminalisation-and-prohibition/
