Rejected petition Legalise and Decriminalise Marijuana in the UK.

Too many people are being sent to prison for having weed. There are much more serious issues on why people should be sent to prison but the government feel weed should be one of the major reasons why you should. It's just wrong.

More details

If you get caught with weed, you are looking at 5-14 years of prison time whereas child molestors would be facing as little as 6 months. That's disgusting.
