Rejected petition Decriminalize cannabis so users do not become criminals in the UK.

I want this to take place for a number of reasons. Number 1, so many people living in the UK are taking this substance and it can also be used to cure some diseases. Although cannabis is illegal and paracetamol is legal it can cause more pain to the user than what cannabis would ever do.
