Rejected petition To reinstate cannabis to class C under the misuse of drugs act 1971.
The current classification is a joke, weed is more common than alcohol growing up. Everyone tries it at a stupid age mainly due to the ease of acquiring it.

The medical values of cannabis are understated, active components such as cbd are well known for treatment of anxiety disorders and mental disorders. The law is counterproductive and criminalises the young, jeopardising their future.
