Rejected petition Reclassify Cannabis to a Class C Drug

If the government is not happy to legalise cannabis, I think a debate is needed to gather thoughts on reclassifying cannabis to a lower class, as plenty of evidence has been shown that it is less harmful
than most drugs it is classified with.

More details

On 26th January 2009 cannabis was reclassified from a class C drug to a class B drug. It's time to make a change!
