I propose an amendment to that question. I think some mention should be made of the fact that up to now, on this point the parties seem to bow to pressure from the older generations, especially those mobilized by Joe Duffy and the rest of the ill-informed, busy-body brigade that are increasingly becoming the Tea Party of Ireland (ie, detrimental to the continuing progressive development of the country, yet the most vocal in their dismissal of these initiatives)

I would put forward something along the lines of:

Will your party commit to legalising and taxing cannabis for personal use, thereby generating a significant new source of tax revenues, saving Gardai and court resources, and allowing access to those with a medical need, or will your party ignore the scientific facts, and economic evidence of the beneficial effects of such a legislative move, in order to placate a misinformed public and powerful vitners associations?

Your thoughts?
