Decriminalization of cannabis in the European Union would improve the health and wellbeing of the population by reducing the risks associated with black market consumption. When cannabis is illegal, individuals are forced to purchase it from unregulated sources, which can lead to contamination with harmful substances such as fertilizers and pesticides. By legalizing cannabis, individuals would be able to purchase it from regulated dispensaries, which would ensure that the product is safe for consumption. Decriminalization would also allow for the establishment of standards and regulations for cannabis products, improving their safety and quality. This would help to prevent health risks associated with unregulated cannabis consumption. Moreover, decriminalization would allow for greater research into the potential medical benefits of cannabis, which could lead to the development of new treatments and therapies
