This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Legalise cannabis.
Cannabis should be legalised for both medical and recreational uses, a lot of people suffer from chronic pain and cannabis is a good pain killer for them. You hear a lot of stories of cannabis being cut with hard drugs, legalising it will stop this problem as people can buy it from a reliable source
