Rejected petition Keep the production, sale and use of cannabis illegal.

There is a petition circulating social media stating cannabis should be legal. Cannabis is a harmful drug. It's not a recreational substance that should be classed as "legal" as doing this will only make it more accessible to vulnerable young people and consequently cause more damage to our society.
