Rejected petition Re-read the Cannabis (Legalisation & Regulation) Bill 2015/16 in the Commons.

On the 23rd of May 2016 the Cannabis Bill was introduced to parliament but failed to go all the way due to it being close to the end of the parliamentary year. I want to show my support as well as the support of the British public in this historic fight to lay the foundation for reform.

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.

It's not clear what is meant by "re-reading" a Bill.

If you would like Parliament to change the law on cannabis, you could start a new petition asking for that - or you may find that there is already a petition open on our site which you would like to sign instead.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
