Rejected petition Make cannabis legal for people who suffer from pain
More details
people who suffer with things like arthritis and siatica can be in incredible amounts of pain and a little bit of cannabis can really help.
The pain can be stopped for a while if they have this drug. This will reduce the cost in the amount of painkillers that will have to be produced, also painkillers are artificial and made from loads of different things while cannabis is a natural substance.
They both carry the same risks to the user so there will be no difference in the side effects that will be caused.
