The UK is an Autocracy. We have a head of state that no one elects, an upper house that no one elects and a government that is elected by a minority. Unless the ruling classes suddenly all become stoners it will always be criminal. The only way it will become legal is if the ruling class can make some money.
I'd guess there's more than just money as a leveraging point. I mean, that's probably the biggest, but if there was large enough public dissatisfaction, that also could cause some action...and I don't mean dissatisfaction about cannabis laws...sometimes its worth throwing the 'little things' at the peasants so they think they're getting concessions and being heard. In many ways here in the US states have legalized not because of any true political motivation beyond that it's widely popular and politicians need a few points at and in the polls.
