Is cannabis use generally considered as lower class or trashy behaviour in the UK?

"The legalities are supposed to be a guidance to those who wish to be responsible as well as being a check on criminal activity." - *The legalities are what turns it into a criminal activity in the first place.* *"If a drug is illegal it's less likely to have a safe or tolerable level that can be responsibly consumed"* \- You what? Where did you get this information from? "There's also an appetite to make things illegal that can be responsibly consumed, but which frequently lead to unsafe addictions but we struggle with that one; it's not easy to make things illegal if some people can actually handle it, as prohibition proved." - By this measure, isn't then making these things illegal in the first place pointless? All you do is other and criminalise users and enable organised crime to make a killing or push these people into organised crime themselves to fund their habits, because they've already been criminalized and 'othered' by the system.
