This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start new a petition calling for all production of medical cannabis to cease in the UK.
If you would like medical use of cannabis to be made legal in the UK, or the laws on cannabis to be relaxed more generally, there are a number of petitions on petition.parliament.uk (https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=cannabis&state=open&commit=Search) relating to cannabis, which you may wish to sign.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
