Rejected petition Make cannabis legal for medicinal and recreational use

Cannabis is less harmful than tobacco and alcohol, if the government won't legalise it for use in licensed outlets to over 18's I think we, the people should have the right to grow a certain amount of plants for personal use in the privacy of our own homes!! Come on public it needs to happen

More details

0% Deaths in the history of cannabis, unlike alcohol and tobacco. Cannabis is a not a drug it is a plant that naturally grows around the world, Why are we, the people not aloud to make this decision like we are with alcohol and tobacco, if the government was to have a trial I personally believe they would not regret it.
