This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Legalise Cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Rejected on
Legalise Cannabis for medicinal purposes. Cannabis has many benefits that are being ignored by our Government.
Misinformed facts have created a stigma, allowing a highly beneficial plant to not be recognised as a form of natural treatment.
With 1/2 of us at risk of developing a form of cancer, why not allow the people to have multiple options of natural treatments, which in this case is a plant.
New research and studies have shown and proven the benefits cannabis provides for diseases and illnesses , such as MS, PTSD and metal health issues.
