Rejected petition Make the production, consumption & distribution of Cannabis legal.

Legalising cannabis could bring in £900m in taxes every year, save £400m on policing cannabis and create over 10,000 new jobs.

A substance that is safer than alcohol and tobacco. Being Made illegal in the UK in 1925 is outdated as countries around the world are now legalising it.
