Meanwhile, over here in the UK we're still in the "drugs are bad, mmmKay." dark ages.

I really hope a major political party runs with a cannabis decriminalisation policy at the next election.

The Lib Dems do [1] have a reasonably enlightened drug policy. Labour is lagging, but I think there's hope of that changing - Corbyn has in the past sponsored a bill for decriminalisation of weed (in 2000) and stated he wanted to decriminalise medicinal use (in 2016).But Labour spans very social liberal and quite socially conservative groups so can't afford to go as far as the Lib Dems on that subject.

When (if!) the US legalises at the federal level, you can bet the UK will follow shortly thereafter.
